Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress

Chapter 718: Chapter 715: Every Bush and Tree Looks Like an Enemy – Part 1

Bai Qingyan grew emotional and burst into a heart-wrenching cough.

The Crown Prince was at a loss and hurriedly called out, “Quan Yu, hot tea!”

Quan Yu brought the hot tea to Bai Qingyan, but she waved it away. After thanking Quan Yu, she turned to gaze at the Crown Prince and continued, “If Your Highness massacres the people of Liang City today, in the future, some will exploit this event. As the ruling Crown Prince, the sin of massacring the plague-ridden people of two cities…no matter what great deeds Your Highness may achieve in the future, it can never be erased.”

As she spoke, Bai Qingyan’s expression grew sorrowful. “Just like Bai Qingyan, who, to win against Xiliang, had no choice but to burn the captured prisoners in Wengshan Canyon, this has become an indelible stain on Bai Qingyan! The ones I killed were enemy soldiers, but the ones Your Highness wants to massacre…are our Jin Kingdom’s people. This sin would be even greater than that of Bai Qingyan’s massacre of the prisoners.”

The Crown Prince’s breath quickened. He had not considered the severe consequences of this matter.
