Rebirth is not a dream.

Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, Su Yue looked up at the gloomy sky and couldn't help sighing. In the past half month, the weather has never been clear. It is either rainy or shrouded in haze, and the air is filled with dampness. Her dowry had been sent out for some time, but the emperor still did not make any statement.

At the same time, the An Ning Marquis and his wife were extremely busy. The An Ning Marquis was busy with various affairs all day long, while the An Ning Marquis's wife frequently attended various charity banquets. These wives of officials did not seem to have an easy time either. Recently, the entire noble circle was busy with donations of money and materials, fearing that slow action would attract the attention and concern of the emperor.

However, facing these lively banquets, Su Yue did not attend. Recently, she was unfortunately infected with a disease, and her condition became more and more serious. At first, she just coughed twice, but now it has developed to the extent of fever, and the whole person has been in a trance. The affairs of Yunxiao Courtyard have been taken care of by Sister Bijun and Taozi in recent times. As for Aunt Tao, she has been arranged by Su Yue to enter a semi-retirement state.

At this moment, Su Yue could only lie quietly in bed most of the time. This situation was quite similar to when she first came here, but the situation seemed to be worse. Su Yue knew very well that she was really sick this time, and compared with the physical pain, her inner troubles were even worse. She knew that it was because of her timidity that she fell into such a tangled situation. In addition, those drugs did not help her condition much. She seemed to have walked into a dead end and could not extricate herself. If she could not figure it out on her own, it would be difficult for her to recover.

Su Yue really couldn't understand why God would play such a trick on her. She was just an ordinary person, and she didn't even know anything about the palace fight. Now she was involved in the palace fight. Wouldn't it cost her life? What was her intention to be reborn in this time and space? Especially a woman as powerful as Princess Mingzhao, who actually raised a girl to be so innocent and incapable of survival. If little Su Yue really didn't have the ability to keep the huge amount of money and huge industry, it would fall into the hands of others sooner or later. Although the Marquis's Mansion reluctantly gave her a place to live for the sake of the wealth, it was obvious that they had no intention of treating her well. Su Yue had considered whether she could choose to fake her death and escape, so as to start a new life. Originally, she thought that if she was not satisfied with her life in the Marquis's Mansion, this might be a way out. However, since she had a connection with Princess Mingzhao, she knew that this way was no longer feasible. Not to mention that even the emperor's attitude was unpredictable at this moment.

Su Yue actually never liked to think too much, but the recent series of dangerous situations made her start to doubt: Could it be that these things were not accidental? Was it not just because she was unlucky? Was it that someone was deliberately coming for her? Once this thought came up, it spread like weeds in her mind, making her feel more and more uneasy.

This fermentation of anxiety gave rise to a lot of negative emotions. She didn't know how long she could hold on without breaking down. She really couldn't hold on any longer. Did she think she was suffering from depression?

Qin Yi has been training in dragon boat racing at the academy these days, preparing for the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat race. However, at the same time, Su Yue's condition is getting worse, which makes Qin Yi very worried. During this period of time, whenever Qin Yi returns home, he will go to visit Su Yue, but Su Yue seems unwilling to see anyone and always locks herself in the room alone.

Today, Qin Yi returned not too late. When he stepped into Yunxiao Courtyard, he happened to catch up with Su Yue preparing for dinner. Seeing Qin Yi coming back, Su Yue asked Chenxiang to add another set of bowls and chopsticks. These days, Su Yue has been ill and has become haggard and thin, and her eyes look bigger. Qin Yi wanted to chat with Su Yue, but Su Yue just lowered her head and ate silently. It was obvious that she had a poor appetite. She got up and went back to the inner room after eating a few bites. Seeing Su Yue leave, Qin Yi also lost interest in eating immediately. He put down his bowl and followed her into the inner room. After Qin Yi followed into the inner room, he saw Su Yue leaning against the bed, looking out the window with empty eyes.

"Why don't you eat anymore? Is it not to your liking? I'll ask the kitchen to make something else." Qin Yi sat down next to Su Yue and asked with concern.

Su Yue shook her head. "I can't eat. I don't have much appetite."

Qin Yi looked at Su Yue's pale face and said distressedly: "You have to take good care of yourself. If you keep going like this, how can your body bear it?"

Su Yue turned her head and looked at Qin Yi, "I'm fine."

Qin Yi looked at Su Yue like this, his heart was filled with worry and confusion. He wanted to say something comforting, but he didn't know where to start. Seeing Su Yue becoming increasingly depressed, Qin Yi knew that if he continued to develop like this, he would most likely lose this very important woman.

Although Su Yue only caught a slight cold, Qin Yi still felt uneasy. He realized that Su Yue did not seem to fully accept the fact that her mother was Princess Ming Zhao, and he could not resonate with this. However, if the current situation continued, he was worried that he would eventually lose Su Yue.

After careful consideration, Qin Yi decided to try other ways to help Su Yue out of the predicament. He said softly, "In a few days it will be the Dragon Boat Festival, and there will be a grand dragon boat race. You might as well go and watch it, maybe it will help you relax. What do you think?" However, Su Yue responded without any interest, "I don't want to go. I don't think my condition will get better in a short time. I'd better go to the manor to rest for a while, so as not to die in the mansion and make everyone feel unlucky."

Qin Yi couldn't help but frown. He really didn't understand why Su Yue had such negative thoughts. He quickly comforted her, "How could you die so easily? Tomorrow I will go to my cousin, the Third Prince, and ask him to help invite the best doctor to treat you. Don't worry, everything will be fine. After all, you are still young." While speaking, Qin Yi showed a firm and concerned look, hoping to bring a little comfort and peace of mind to Su Yue.

Su Yue looked at Qin Yi firmly and said, "Everyone will die. Am I not a human being?" Qin Yi frowned and retorted, "Everyone will die, but you are still young and it is not your time to die!" Su Yue chuckled and responded, "There is no old or young on the road to the underworld. Haven't you heard of it?" Qin Yi felt helpless after hearing this. He sighed and said to Su Yue, "Why do you always want to die at such a young age?"

At this moment, Su Yue didn't know why she suddenly felt particularly wronged, and tears began to fall uncontrollably one by one. Qin Yi saw Su Yue crying, and his heart was full of doubts and worries, but he didn't know how to comfort her. He could only stand aside at a loss, anxiously wiping the tears from Su Yue's face with his hands, and whispered: "Don't cry!" However, this did not stop Su Yue from crying, but made her even sadder.

Su Yue raised her head, looked at Qin Yi with tears in her eyes, and choked up and said, "Can't I cry anymore?" After that, her crying became louder. Qin Yi hugged Su Yue in his arms distressedly and patted her back gently, hoping to give her some warmth and comfort.

Su Yue also felt that she was being so pretentious. In addition, she was already over fifty years old in her previous life, but now she was making a fuss here. Why was she doing that? She couldn't control her emotions at this moment. She just wanted to cry. In Qin Yi's arms, Su Yue's emotions gradually calmed down. She leaned on Qin Yi's shoulder, feeling his body temperature and care.

Su Yue's breathing gradually stabilized and she fell asleep. Qin Yi hugged her carefully, fearing that if he moved a little, he would wake Su Yue up and cause her to lose control of her emotions again. Although half of his body had been numb from being pressed, Qin Yi still gritted his teeth and persisted, silently enduring the pain.

In the early morning, the sun shone through the window onto the bed, and Su Yue slowly woke up. She felt that her physical condition today was much better than the previous few days, and she felt more relaxed. Perhaps it was because she had released her emotions last night that she felt much more relaxed. She stretched her body, moved her muscles, and found that her body seemed to have regained a lot of vitality.

Su Yue thought to herself, is it because of the venting last night? Or is it all Qin Yi's fault? She couldn't help but look at Qin Yi beside her, only to see that he was still sleeping soundly with a trace of fatigue on his face. Su Yue's heart softened, and she gently stroked Qin Yi's face, her heart full of gratitude and love.

However, Su Yue didn't know that the real reason for her physical improvement was not only the emotional catharsis, but also Qin Yi's meticulous care all night. He silently guarded her and gave her strength and support in his own way. Although this kind of silent love was not expressed in words, it deeply touched Su Yue's heart.
