Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress

Chapter 498 - 498 495 Bloodline_1

?Chapter 498: 495 Chapter: Bloodline_1 Chapter 498: 495 Chapter: Bloodline_1 The sound of the Dengwen Drum echoed. Gao Demao felt a chill in his heart, not knowing what significant event was about to unfold. Hearing the Emperor call for him, he hurriedly entered with his dusting whisk: “This old servant is here! Your Majesty, your command!”

“What is going on?! The Dengwen Drum sounded again?!”

From the Emperor’s raised voice, it was clear how furious he was.

“Your Majesty, please calm down! This old servant has already sent someone to inquire. There should be a response soon! Please, Your Majesty, do not worry. This old servant will wait outside, and I will report back as soon as there is any news!” Gao Demao knelt and repeatedly tried to appease the Emperor.

Watching Gao Demao jog out, the Emperor clenched his teeth, his face turning ashen. He couldn’t help but harbor resentment towards Bai Qingyan once again. If it weren’t for Bai Qingyan, how could the Dengwen Drum be struck again!

Outside Wude Gate, crowds of people from Dadu City had already gathered.

The woman and the man cried as they walked along the long street, struck the Dengwen Drum, and stated their grievance against the Wang family in Jiuqu Alley and King Liang for negligence of human life. They claimed that using children to make elixirs was no better than beasts, pleading for the Emperor to save their child, who had been captured and taken to King Liang’s residence!

Rumors about missing children had been increasing lately. Initially, it was small beggars who went missing. Later, the bodies of those missing small beggars were found at the Burial Mound. Eventually, children started going missing outside Dadu City. But as the official government tightened security near Dadu City, these incidents ceased there. Instead, child abductions by mountain bandits began near Shuoyang.
