Rebirth is not a dream.

When Su Yue returned to the mansion, Qin Yi had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Su Yue's sprained foot, he couldn't help but frowned and turned to Taozi and asked, "What happened? Why did the young mistress get hurt? How did you take care of her?"

Su Yue waved her hands and said, "Sanlang, it's not Taozi's fault. I twisted it by accident. Besides, the court doctor is fine. If you apply some medicine, it will recover soon. Even if you don't apply medicine, it will be fine in a few days."

Qin Yi still grumbled somewhat dissatisfiedly: "You are always so kind-hearted and tolerant of the maids. Be careful that they will become arrogant and ride on the master's head in the future."

Su Yue knew very well that she and Qin Yi grew up in very different environments, so naturally their ways of treating others would be different, but she did not want to argue with Qin Yi on this matter, so she followed his words and said, "Yes, Sanlang is right, but I think they serve me wholeheartedly on weekdays, so it's okay to be a little tolerant occasionally. But today, a very tricky thing did happen in Prince Li's garden. At that time, a palace maid led me to the room where I changed my clothes, but as soon as I entered the door, I found that Prince Qing was lying there unconscious. What's worse, when we went in, he was nowhere to be seen. When I changed my clothes and prepared to leave, the door would not open no matter what. In desperation, we had to climb out of the window and sneak away along the lake. Otherwise, if that group of ladies broke into the house together and saw the three of us, the master and servants, and the unconscious Prince Qing, I'm afraid even if there were ten mouths, I wouldn't be able to explain it!" At this point, Su Yue's face showed a trace of worry.

Qin Yi looked at Su Yue, his eyes full of concern, and asked softly: "Are you okay? The matter of Prince Qing has nothing to do with you, so don't worry too much. If anyone asks about it, just say you don't know." Su Yue nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. She really didn't want to be involved in this complicated chess game.

Su Yue spent two days in Yunxiao Courtyard recuperating and her body gradually recovered. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the palace held a banquet. Except for the illegitimate children, all the other members of the Su family were invited to the palace to attend the banquet. The old lady also brought Xie Nanqiao along.

Su Yue and her group ran into the Lu family at the palace gate. After the two sides exchanged greetings, the female family members went to the queen's bedroom hand in hand, while the male guests went to the front hall.

After entering the palace, the women began to chat about family matters in a harmonious atmosphere. At this moment, the queen arrived, and everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted to welcome the queen.

The queen smiled and gently told everyone not to be polite. Her sharp eyes slowly swept over everyone, and finally stopped at Su Yue. Then, she turned to Madam Xie and asked, "Madam, may I ask who is the wife of Sanlang in your family?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Xie quickly pulled Su Yue up and introduced her to the Queen: "Your Majesty, this is my Sanlang's wife." Su Yue was a little surprised, but soon regained her composure, stepped forward, and performed a standard salute: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, and may Your Majesty live a thousand years!"

The queen nodded slightly, showing satisfaction. She reached out her hand, gently took Su Yue's hand, and looked at it carefully. The queen's eyes were full of care and curiosity, as if she wanted to see through Su Yue's appearance to her inner heart. "I heard that you were injured a few days ago. Are you okay now?" The queen asked with concern.

A warm feeling surged in Su Yue's heart, and she replied respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine now." Her voice was soft but firm, revealing her gratitude to the Queen.

Queen: "You are Ming Zhao's daughter. You look exactly like her! When I see you, I feel as if I see Ming Zhao in her youth."

A complex emotion surged in Su Yue's heart. She looked at the queen and said softly, "My mother never told me if I had any relatives in my mother's family. I didn't expect that the queen would be my aunt." There was a hint of surprise in her voice, but more of confusion.

Su Yue didn't know how to respond to the Queen for a moment. She didn't like the tone they used when talking about her mother, which seemed to carry some regret and sorrow. Moreover, her mother had hidden her relationship with the royal family for so many years, and even refused to reveal it until her death. What secrets were there? It was hard for her to tell whether the people in this palace were sincere or fake.

Su Yue was reluctant to come to the palace to visit these people. She just wanted to live a peaceful life away from the disputes in the palace. However, she also understood that some things could not be avoided. Since fate brought her here, she could only take it one step at a time and act according to circumstances.

In this palace full of intrigues and schemes, Su Yue knew that she had to remain vigilant. She decided to explore carefully, find the truth, and protect the safety of herself and her family. No matter what is waiting for her ahead, she must face it bravely and move forward firmly.
