Rebirth is not a dream.

Su Yue rushed out from behind the screen and signaled Taozi and Qiuzhu to go out quickly. However, when they tried to open the door, they found that it was locked from the inside and could not be pushed open.

Su Yue was wondering when the person on the bed appeared. She had carefully observed the surroundings when she changed her clothes, and there was indeed no one on the bed at that time! So how did he enter the room without anyone noticing? Could it be that this bed has a mechanism? Su Yue was full of doubts, but she didn't dare to speak easily, for fear of disturbing the person on the bed. So she winked at Qiu Zhu, indicating whether she could go out through the door. Qiu Zhu understood and walked carefully to the bed to check. In the dim candlelight, Qiu Zhu was surprised to find that the person lying on the bed was Prince Qing who she met before the banquet! At this moment, he seemed to be drunk. Qiu Zhu stared at the bed, guessing that if there was a mechanism, it would probably be hidden under Prince Qing's body. However, Qiu Zhu couldn't be sure whether Prince Qing was really drunk or had been beaten unconscious.

Su Yue thought to herself that if the other party intended to harm her, someone would come soon. But now the door was closed and the window was hard to open. And it was unknown whether the incense in the room was poisonous. Although they had put out the incense, who could guarantee that there were no other hidden dangers? For a moment, Su Yue fell into deep anxiety...

How should the three of them, the master and the servant, leave? It is not something that a simple girl like Lu Anruo can do to make trouble in the territory of the Prince of Li. As for Aunt Cheng, as a concubine, even if her family is from the Marquis of Weiguo Mansion, it is probably difficult for her to do whatever she wants in the garden of the Prince of Li, right? Moreover, Aunt Cheng and the Second Lady did not come to visit the garden, so who else has an enemy with Su Yue? Or is someone trying to use this to provoke a dispute between the Marquis of Anning and the Prince of Li? Whatever the reason, Su Yue knew that the three of them, the master and the servant, must escape from here as soon as possible.

Su Yue walked to the south window and gently pushed it. Unexpectedly, it actually opened. However, outside the window was a sparkling artificial lake, which was obviously not an ideal way out. It was mid-autumn, and the lake water was slightly cool. Moreover, the three of them, the master and the servant, were soaked. It was not wise to wade out rashly.

Su Yue stared at the lake, imagining how good it would be if she had the power of invisibility. She looked out again and suddenly noticed a raised tooth on the wall below the house. If she followed this tooth, she might be able to return to the yard. However, there were certain risks in doing so, and the three of them were obvious targets. If they were discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

Su Yue turned around and asked Qiu Zhu in a low voice: "Are you proficient in swimming skills?" Qiu Zhu replied softly: "I know a little bit." Then, Su Yue turned his gaze to Taozi and asked in a low voice: "What about you, can you swim?" Taozi's face was as pale as paper and she shook her head gently.

Su Yue's gaze fell back into the house again. After thinking for a moment, she leaned close to Taozi's ear and whispered, "Well, you stand close to the door. If someone pushes the door open later, from the perspective of the door, it should be difficult for them to notice you standing there. When the time comes, you have to act flexibly, understand?" After explaining to Taozi, Su Yue leaned close to Qiuzhu's ear and whispered, "As for you, are you sure you can jump onto the beam?"

Qiu Zhu looked up at the beam, her eyes flickered, as if a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and she moved, darting up like a flying bird. On the other side, Su Yue carefully climbed out of the window, and every move was extremely cautious.

Taozi was a little worried at first, but she was very afraid of water, so she had to follow Su Yue's arrangements and stood quietly by the door, always paying attention to the movements around her, waiting for someone to come to the rescue.

Qiu Zhu hid on the beams, like a dormant cheetah, quietly observing everything below. She listened to Su Yue's soft footsteps, watching her move carefully along the wall toward the yard. Every step was full of tension and danger, as if walking between cliffs.

After some effort, Su Yue finally managed to move to a slightly safer place. However, at this moment, a subtle sound came into her ears. It sounded like a lot of people were walking towards this small courtyard. Su Yue's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and she stood tightly against the wall, not daring to make the slightest sound.

Fortunately, there happened to be a huge potted plant next to her, which could temporarily block her figure. Su Yue looked at the life-saving plant with gratitude, and silently prayed in her heart that she would not be discovered. As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and she could feel those people getting closer and closer...

At this moment, the wife of the Prince of Li and several ladies and daughters of the noble families walked into the yard. The wife of the Prince of Li said as she walked, "This yard is a great place to enjoy the lake! Back then, my father built this yard just to enjoy the beautiful lake. Let's go into the house and have a cup of tea, take a short rest, and then open the window to enjoy the lake view and smell the intoxicating sweet-scented osmanthus..."

The maidservant of the Crown Prince's wife gently opened the door and invited all the ladies and girls to come in. At the same time, some other maids came in carrying tea leaves, tea sets and other items. However, just as these ladies and girls stepped into the room, someone suddenly let out a sharp scream. Then, someone shouted, "Prince Qing is here!"

The wife of the prince was obviously confused by this sudden situation. She didn't expect that the prince of Qing was resting on this couch. It was just that the prince of Qing didn't react when so many people came in. The wife of the prince quickly realized that something was wrong. She hurriedly sent everyone out of the room and ordered the servants to invite the imperial physician. For a while, the whole yard fell into chaos. Everyone was wondering whether the prince of Qing was drunk or unwell. And the young lady from the aristocratic family who screamed just now felt ashamed and embarrassed to stay here. Several other ladies were worried that they would get into trouble, so they said goodbye to the wife of the prince and left.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Taozi also hurried out of the house. At the same time, Su Yue also seized the opportunity and quietly followed Taozi out of the yard while people were not paying attention. Due to the hasty action, Su Yue accidentally sprained her foot, but fortunately the situation was not too serious, just some pain when moving.

Taozi looked at Su Yue's injured foot and said with concern: "Let me carry you on my back. This will relieve your pain."

However, Su Yue was in a very bad mood at the moment. She had encountered such a bad luck when she participated in this garden party. She replied impatiently: "Why carry me? You just need to support me and walk slowly. I wonder if Qiu Zhu has come out?"

After hearing this, Taozi didn't dare to say anything more. She carefully helped Su Yue up and slowly walked towards the garden.

Su Yue asked Taozi again: "Have you put away the clothes I changed?"

Taozi replied, "Qiuzhu has it."

Su Yue then ordered: "Well, go get it back. Also, go find the palace maid who brought us here.

"Taozi responded, "Yes, miss." Then the master and servant walked towards a moon gate.

At this moment, the Third Prince and a young man in white also happened to come from the other side. Seeing the two sides getting closer and closer, and about to collide head-on, Su Yue secretly complained in her heart. She originally planned to pretend that she didn't see them and sneak away quietly. However, the situation did not go as she wished, and now there was no way to avoid it, so she had to bite the bullet and walk forward, saluted to the Third Prince and said: "I greet the Third Prince."

When the Third Prince Yuan Jing saw Su Yue, he smiled and said, "Cousin, why must you be so polite? Please stop being so polite." His tone was very cordial, as if there was no barrier between them.

Su Yue thought to herself that although the other party was a prince, it was always right to show more courtesy, after all, more courtesy is not a bad thing. However, what Su Yue did not expect was that the third prince actually called her cousin! You know, although she was somewhat related to the royal family, the emperor had never officially given her a title! So was the third prince's affectionate address a little too enthusiastic? As a prince, did he not know how to guard against others at all?

Su Yue had no intention of chatting with him. She just smiled slightly, turned her gaze to the young man in white, and asked curiously: "Excuse me, who is this young man...?"

Yuan Jing quickly introduced: "This is Master Fusheng."

Upon hearing this, Su Yue immediately bowed to Master Fusheng and said, "It turns out to be Master Fusheng. I am Su Yue, thank you for your help that day."

Master Fusheng smiled and replied, "Madam Su, there is no need to be so polite. It is just a small favor. Don't worry about it."

Su Yue said with tears of gratitude: "Your Excellency's great kindness will be remembered in my heart. If you need my help in the future, please let me know and I will do my best."

Su Yue turned around and said softly to the Third Prince: "I will leave now and go ahead."

Taozi was seen carefully supporting Su Yue and walking slowly away. Yuan Jing stood behind them, looking at their departing figures thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "Cousin, what's wrong with your feet? Why are you walking so slowly?"

Hearing Yuan Jing's question, Su Yue stopped, looked back at the Third Prince, and then replied with a smile: "It's nothing serious, I just accidentally sprained it."

Yuan Jing seemed a little worried and said quickly: "How about I find a doctor to come and see you? That way I can feel more at ease."

However, Su Yue politely rejected his kindness, "Thank you for your concern, cousin, but you really don't need to bother me. When I return to the mansion, I will ask the doctor there to help me with the treatment." After that, Su Yue signaled Taozi to speed up. She really didn't want anyone to have the opportunity to associate her with the unconscious Prince Qing who was in the garden. She just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary speculation and trouble.

When Su Yue returned to the garden, she saw the Marquis and others waiting for her anxiously. Qin Jiaojiao came forward and asked with concern: "Where did you go for so long? We are going back soon!" Su Yue replied awkwardly: "I got lost in the garden..." Wang Xinxuan also came over and asked with concern: "Third sister-in-law, are you okay? Are you injured?" Su Yue blushed and said a little embarrassedly: "I just sprained my foot by accident."

At this time, Qiu Zhu also hurried over. Qin Jiaojiao saw this and immediately blamed Qiu Zhu: "Why didn't you follow the third sister-in-law? Where did you go?" Qiu Zhu quickly explained: "In reply to Miss Seven, I just put Miss's clothes back on the carriage."

Seeing that everyone was present, the Marquis's wife said, "Well, since everyone is here, let's go find the old lady, bid farewell to the princess, and prepare to return home." Su Yue silently observed the other ladies in the garden, secretly thanking that the news about the lake view courtyard did not seem to have spread here. Presumably, only the ladies and young ladies who had been to the courtyard knew about it, and they had all left. In this way, she felt that she should be relatively safe.

After the old lady and the marquis' wife greeted the princess, Nanny Lin came over to see them off to the carriage. The group set off on their return journey in a grand procession.
