Rebirth is not a dream.

Su Yue's dowry was transported to the Third Prince's residence like a long dragon. These precious treasures were carried into the residence box by box, attracting everyone's attention and exclamations.

The Third Prince stood at the door, staring at the boxes that kept coming into the mansion, and couldn't help but feel puzzled and surprised. He originally thought that Su Yue was just talking casually, but he didn't expect that she would actually take out all her dowry! However, what puzzled him even more was that Su Yue had clearly said that she would donate the dowry to her fourth brother, but now she sent it to him. What on earth was going on?

The Third Prince frowned and fell into deep thought. Was there any misunderstanding or hidden secret? Based on their past communication, he tried to guess from her that maybe she had other plans, or that this was just a temporary storage place? Various speculations swirled in his mind, but he could not get a definite answer.

As time went by, more and more boxes were moved into the mansion, piling up like a mountain. The third prince decided to go to Su Yue in person to ask her about her real intention. He turned and left, with firm and eager steps, and rushed to Su Garden.

When the Third Prince came to Su Garden, he saw a beautiful woman, Su Yue. He originally thought that Su Yue just sent the dowry to him for temporary storage, but when he learned the real reason behind it, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and confused.

It turned out that the reason why Su Yue did this was because the Fourth Prince had no mansion to store her dowry. This seemingly simple move made the Third Prince think more deeply about Su Yue. He realized that Su Yue did not seem to want to be too involved with the royal family, and even did not hesitate to use her dowry to maintain her independence.

After the Third Prince returned to his residence, he immediately sent someone to inform the Fourth Prince to come and take away Su Yue's dowry. However, the Fourth Prince was also shocked when he received the news. He never expected that Su Yue was so determined to draw a line with the royal family that she even took out her dowry without hesitation.

Faced with such a situation, the fourth prince felt helpless. He knew that he could no longer return the dowry, otherwise it would only cause more trouble. So he decided to go to the palace to report the matter to the emperor, hoping that his father would not blame him.

Yuan Kun entered the palace gate, walked steadily to the front of the emperor, bowed, and greeted the emperor: "Your son pays homage to the emperor. May the emperor live long and long!"

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at Yuan Kun with a sharp gaze, and asked in a low voice: "Fourth Brother, what is the purpose of coming to see you today?"

Yuan Kun took a deep breath and replied with a slightly trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I have fulfilled your mission and found Aunt Mingzhao's daughter."

When the emperor heard this, his originally calm face was slightly disturbed, but it was gone in an instant. He slowly raised his head and stared at Yuan Kun, silent. As time passed, the dead silence made Yuan Kun more and more uneasy. He knew that Concubine Liang had warned him not to act rashly, but now the dowry sent by Su Yue was already in a desperate situation and could not be returned. If this matter became a big deal, even if he didn't say anything, the emperor would know everything. At this moment, he couldn't figure out the emperor's attitude, and his heart was like fifteen buckets of water - ups and downs.

Yuan Kun stood there quietly, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, and his back was already soaked with sweat. Finally, the emperor broke the silence and said, "Tell me in detail."

Yuan Kun breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and told the story. He mentioned that Su Yue had the same hairpin as Aunt Ming Zhao, and that the two looked very similar. In addition, he specially invited the highly respected Nanny Chun in the palace to identify them, and Nanny Chun also firmly believed that they were mother and daughter.

The emperor said with dignity: "You asserted that she is the daughter of Princess Mingzhao just based on a similar hairpin. Isn't that too absurd!" Yuan Kun did not back down and insisted: "Su Yue donated all her dowry to Your Majesty, and many of the items were from the palace. Father, why don't you check it yourself to see if it belongs to Princess Mingzhao's dowry?"

The emperor frowned and asked, "The Su Yue you mentioned, is she the third daughter-in-law of the An Ning Marquis's mansion?" Yuan Kun nodded and replied, "That's right." The emperor fell silent, and his thoughts drifted back to many years ago. At that time, the old Duke came to ask for a marriage decree, and hinted that this Su Yue might have some kind of relationship with Ming Zhao. However, after more than three years, the emperor had not noticed any clues. Unexpectedly, the fourth brother actually found Ming Zhao's hairpin, but why did the guards hiding in the dark search for a long time without finding conclusive evidence, but the fourth brother found this hairpin easily?

It turned out that Su Yue from the later life started wearing this hairpin after she traveled through time, because she couldn't bear to part with the relics left by her mother and had been carefully collecting them. This action happened to make the Fourth Prince notice the existence of this hairpin.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a dignified look on his face, staring at Liu Rui below with sharp eyes, and said slowly: "Liu Rui, go and check those things carefully to see if they belong to Ming Zhao." Liu Rui responded respectfully, and then followed Yuan Kun to the Minguang Hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw several large boxes on the ground. Yuan Kun signaled the people around him to open the boxes. Liu Rui walked forward and checked the items in the boxes one by one. He carefully examined each item, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

When Liu Rui saw some exquisite jewelry and gorgeous clothes, his face became a little solemn. These things were very similar to the dowry of Princess Ming Zhao in his memory, but logically speaking, these things should have left the capital when Princess Ming Zhao married Bei Yan. Why did they appear here now?

Liu Rui was thinking secretly in his heart, and he couldn't help but look up at Yuan Kun, as if he wanted to get an answer from him.

Liu Rui hurried back to the imperial study and reported to the emperor what he had discovered: "Your Majesty, most of those items turned out to be Princess Ming Zhao's dowry in the past! But why are they here? Could it be that after the princess returned to Beijing to visit her relatives, she never returned to Beiyan? If so, why didn't the emperor of Beiyan come to inquire about this matter?"

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, frowning, lost in thought. He was also confused about Princess Ming Zhao's whereabouts. Why didn't she return to Beiyan? Why did she leave a daughter here? These questions were like a fog that entangled the emperor's mind, making it difficult for him to let go.

The emperor thought to himself: That's right! I have been searching for her for many years, but Ming Zhao hid her daughter under my nose, and I didn't realize Su Yue's true identity. Ming Zhao is still as smart as ever, but her daughter doesn't seem to be simple either!
