Chapter 943 - 939: Pingan Returns to the Capital
After a moment, seeing Bai Qingyan remain silent, Prime Minister Lu, kneeling on the high steps, looked up at Bai Qingyan. He saw Bai Qingyan quietly gazing in the direction of Wude Gate, her expression calm and eyes resolute, not knowing whom she was waiting for...
Seeing this, Prime Minister Lu, fearing they would miss the auspicious time, slightly straightened and loudly entreated, "Please, Your Majesty, ascend the throne!"
"Please, Your Majesty, ascend the throne!" the officials followed loudly in unison.
Bai Qingyu, standing to the side with a mask, raised his eyes to look at his elder sister, clenching his fists slightly.
He knew... his elder sister was waiting for the Bai family members who hadn’t returned yet. She hoped that when she ascended the throne, as announced in her edict to the world, the surviving Bai family army and members could hurry back to witness this moment together.
To witness... the opening Chapter of Zhou’s unification.
Bai Jinxiu and Bai Qingjue looked back with tears in their eyes toward Wude Gate, hoping Wei Zhong could bring back the surviving Bai family members and army before the Eldest Young Lady ascended to that high position.
As time passed, the sunlight grew stronger, and Dadu City inside and out shimmered with golden brilliance.
The officials whispered among themselves, and Prime Minister Lu dared to ask Bai Qingyan to ascend the throne again.
A cool breeze brushed Bai Qingyan’s diadem and the beaded protocol lightly. Her eyes, reddened and sore, finally saw someone pushing a wheelchair coming slowly from outside the golden-shrouded Wude Gate...
Xiao Ruohai was pushing Bai Qingyun, with Xiao Ruojiang walking beside him.
"Eldest Sister!" Bai Jinzhao could no longer contain himself, suddenly stood up, and called out to Bai Qingyan, tears bursting forth instantly.
