On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

The carriage moved smoothly and quickly all the way.

Soon they arrived at the back door of Dingbei Palace.

"This is..." Su Sui'an recognized the animal pattern on the back door knocker at a glance.

In the entire Yuan Dynasty, who else could have door knockers with animal patterns except King Dingbei?

Yi Zhi respectfully repeated what his master had said to Su Sui'an, "Young Master Su was quietly sent to the palace, and happened to meet the Ninth Prince leaving the palace with my master. The Ninth Prince was unable to rescue him, so my master did it."

"It just so happens that my master originally planned to go to the Marquis of Changping's mansion in person, but now that Young Master Su is at the mansion, my master can save the trouble."

Su Sui'an reacted immediately.

Liu'er said before that the guards around Prince Dingbei asked her to meet him at the thank-you banquet.

He was late and then what happened to Chi'er happened.

I guess it's just a coincidence.

But at the moment, the Changping Marquis's Mansion is in chaos, and the conditions for the meeting are indeed not as suitable as at the Dingbei Prince's Mansion.

Su Sui'an thought for a moment, then reached out to hold her bun and pulled out a sharp silver hairpin from her hair and hid it in her sleeve. Then he got off the car and followed Yi Zhi to the side hall in the front yard of Prince Dingbei's mansion.

Before I got close, I heard the crying of a child and the gentle coaxing of a maid.

Su Sui'an immediately recognized the child's voice.

"Chi'er."

The moment he saw Su Jinchi was safe and sound, Su Sui'an immediately let down his guard.

There was a little maidservant standing by who was frantically trying to coax her. When she saw Su Sui'an appear, she became even more at a loss.

Yi Zhi raised his hand and signaled the maid to leave.

"elder sister..."

Su Jinchi had finally stopped crying, but the moment she saw Su Sui'an, she burst into tears again.

Unlike the crying of fear just now, Su Jinchi cried and complained this time.

"Sister... wuwuwu, you are such a bad guy, you put Chi'er in a sack and threw her on the ground..."

Yi Zhi reminded, "Miss Su, my master is still waiting for you."

Su Sui'an touched Su Jinchi's head lovingly, "Chi'er, wait for your sister here. Your sister will be back soon."

Seeing Yi Zhi's cold face, Su Jinchi quickly wiped away her tears and said obediently, "Chi'er, wait for your sister."

Su Sui'an smiled and praised Su Jinchi, "Chi'er is so well behaved."

When he looked at Yi Zhi again, his expression had returned to being distant.

Following Yi Zhi all the way, Su Sui'an silently looked at the Dingbei Palace.

In terms of floor space alone, the Dingbei Palace is at least four or five times larger than the Changping Marquis Palace, with all kinds of rockery and strange rocks scattered around.

A very spacious space is reserved between each landscape line. At first glance, the entire mansion seems to be large, empty and a bit lonely.

But loneliness is better than the weird and awkward feeling I had in the Changping Marquis Mansion.

The Changping Marquis Mansion is actually not small, but unfortunately Su Qishun likes elegance and insists on putting some pretentious things in those grand rockery pavilions.

Over time, a good general's mansion became a mess...

After passing through a corridor, Yi Zhi stopped and pointed to a majestic pavilion in the middle of the lake towards Su Sui'an.

"My master is over there."

In the octagonal pavilion, a man in a black waisted robe stood with his back to them and his hands behind his back.

From a distance, the man looked awe-inspiring and his pressure made people feel inviolable.

I guess that person is the Prince of Dingbei.

Su Sui'an quickly walked behind the man and stood three steps away from him. She bowed to him.

"I've met the prince."

"Miss Su, there is no need to be so polite." The man's voice was clear, low and cold. He did not turn around, let alone make any gestures like supporting her.

Su Sui'an took the opportunity to secretly look at the person in front of her. The man was very tall, almost two heads taller than her. He had half-tied up ink-black hair and a black ribbon tied in a knot at the back of his head. On the other side of the ribbon was a golden mask.

As far as I can remember, the Prince of Dingbei doesn’t wear a mask either.

Su Sui'an frowned.

At this time, the man spoke again, "Miss Su is a smart person. She should have guessed that the Ninth Prince's help was due to the influence of Dingbei Palace."

A warm breeze blew by, lifting the man's clothes and bringing Su Sui'an a familiar scent of agarwood.

This smell...

Su Sui'an's eyes sank slightly, and his vigilance was raised to the maximum again.

"It's not right to say anything in a roundabout way. Just tell me what you want, my Lord."

From beginning to end, the man did not turn around.

Ignoring his awe-inspiring aura, Su Sui'an always felt that the figure from behind looked somewhat familiar.

The man chuckled, "Miss Su is so heartless, aren't you curious why my father would go to Yumen City for no reason?"

In the previous life, there was no incident of King Dingbei going to Yumen City.

Su Sui'an's breath was choked.

He asked slowly, "When did Yuyuan City rebel?"

If others had heard such a treasonous question, they would have tied Su Sui'an up and sent him to Jingzhao Yin.

However, the man seemed to have expected her to ask this question. Without any pause, he answered in a deep voice, "In March of the 27th year of the Day, Yuyuan City rebelled. Nanzhao took the opportunity to break through the southern defense line of our Great Yuan Dynasty and marched straight into several cities of Yancheng Qingdu..."

Su Sui'an could no longer hear the rest of the words.

Because her guess has been confirmed.

The Prince of Dingbei, like her, was reborn.

Combined with the fate of the Dingbei Palace in the previous life where they were exterminated for treason.

So...

Everything the Ninth Prince had done before seemed to make sense.

Su Sui'an guessed -

As the son of a prince, this Fu is certainly not a fool. The first thing he would do after his rebirth is to investigate the incident line that leads to Luojing.

Everything started after she was kidnapped by bandits. In this life, she was not kidnapped, which became a variable.

Her father and brother would most likely be the variables that would lead to a turnaround in the Dingbei Palace in three months, so the man surnamed Huo persuaded the Dingbei King to go to Yumen City in person.

Afterwards, he used the matter of Yancheng as a test through the Ninth Prince to confirm that she also had the opportunity to be reborn, so there were subsequent events, and the jade order of Dingbei Palace was also sent to her with his approval...

If that's the case...

Then, I am afraid that what happened in the Changping Marquis Mansion today and the great gift mentioned by the Ninth Prince were probably also arranged by the person in front of me.
