Rebirth is not a dream.
Chapter 165: Rely on Others, Not Yourself
The night was as dark as ink, and everything was silent. Su Yue lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Since Qin Yi began to accompany the Beiyan envoy to tour the capital, he has not been home for several days, and he is not expected to come back tonight. Su Yue couldn't help but wonder what the purpose of Beiyan's visit to Beijing was. If it was just to visit relatives, she really couldn't believe it, because in the royal family, everything is based on power and interests, and talking about feelings is like trying to get the skin of a tiger.
The moonlight fell like water in front of the window. Su Yue stood up and walked to the table and sat down, casting her eyes on the jade hairpin in her hand. This jade hairpin was given to her by her mother before she died, and she was told to carry it with her. At this moment, she was full of doubts: "Could it be that the injury on my head has improved, so the memory of the original owner has become clearer?"
Indeed, as time went by, Su Yue found that the fragments of memory in her mind were gradually pieced together, and some originally vague scenes became clearer. Not only that, she could also hear some voices, although intermittent, but it was much better than when she first crossed over and could only guess the plot through the pictures.
Su Yue carefully examined the black jade hairpin in her hand under the light, and she found that there seemed to be a tiny crack on the hairpin. Could it be that the hairpin had been damaged before? Or was it repaired? This thought made Su Yue very curious, and she decided to carefully explore the crack.
She picked up a thin gold wire and carefully inserted it into a small hole in the gap. Fortunately, the gold wire was thin enough to be inserted smoothly. Su Yue gently turned the gold wire, trying to feel the internal structure. Suddenly, she felt that the gold wire seemed to be hooked on something.
Su Yue was excited. She pulled hard and successfully opened the hairpin! It turned out that this seemingly ordinary hairpin actually concealed a mechanism, and this mechanism was hidden in the gap.
When Su Yue carefully observed the part that was pulled out, she was surprised to find that it was a tube-like object. The shape and texture of the tube reminded her of the stick of the lollipop she had eaten when she was a child, and it was the kind of stick that could be blown. This wonderful design made Su Yue sigh at the wisdom and ingenuity of the ancients.
Su Yue was full of curiosity about this hairpin, she wanted to know why someone would make such a strange hairpin. Su Yue tried to blow it, the sound was very strange and very distant, Su Yue blew it a few times but didn't find anything else, so Su Yue went to bed to rest.
Qin Yi and the Fourth Prince have been accompanying the delegation these days, while the Third Prince has not appeared since the welcoming banquet. According to rumors, he has gone to the villa with his friends.
Everyone was a little surprised by the news. After all, as a prince, he should be responsible for receiving important envoys. However, he was nowhere to be seen, which made many people wonder if there was any reason.
Some people think that the third prince may not be interested in these diplomatic affairs and prefer to enjoy a leisurely time with friends; others think that the third prince may be unwell or encounter other emergencies, which prevented him from continuing to participate in the next activities. In any case, this situation is somewhat puzzling.
At the same time, Qin Yi and the Fourth Prince seemed extremely busy. Not only did they have to deal with daily government affairs, but they also had to take time out to entertain the envoys from afar. Although the two were usually busy with work, they still completed such a task with all their heart and soul, showing a high sense of responsibility and professionalism.
During this time, Qin Yi and the fourth prince gave full play to their respective talents and wisdom, and treated every guest with enthusiasm and thoughtfulness. They learned about each other's cultural background, customs and habits through various means, and on this basis, carefully arranged a series of activities to enhance the friendship and mutual trust between the two sides.
Su Yue had hardly seen Qin Yi in the past few days. Since they separated in Jing'an Temple last time, the two had not met each other. Qin Yi would occasionally send some things to Su Yue, but Su Yue declined them all. Seeing that Su Yue was so determined, Qin Yi no longer forced her, but just sent someone to deliver some meals and fruits every day. These were Su Yue's favorite foods, but she had no appetite at all now.
Su Yue did not go out and did not answer any messages. She knew that her identity had been exposed. If she went out at this time, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble, so she decided to live in seclusion for a while and wait for the opportunity.
Su Yue was confused by Beiyan's purpose. She didn't know why they wanted to arrest her. Was it really just because she was the princess of Beiyan? But there were many princesses of Beiyan, so why did they arrest her? And what was the attitude of the emperor of Da'an towards this matter? Would he hand her over?
Su Yue thought of Princess Ming Zhao, the poor girl who was sacrificed by Emperor Da'an. She was the biological sister of Emperor Da'an, but was forced to marry for the benefit of the two countries and eventually died tragically in a foreign land. Su Yue did not believe that Emperor Da'an would have much affection for her niece, let alone offend Beiyan for her.
Therefore, Su Yue must find a way to protect herself and find something that can save her life. Only in this way can she avoid becoming a victim of political struggle.
As night fell, the moonlight sprinkled on the ground of the palace like water, reflecting a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Taozi walked into the room gently and saw Su Yue sitting in front of the mirror. She walked lightly to Su Yue, gently helped her to loosen her hair, and then began to comb her silky hair with a comb.
Taozi said as she combed her hair, "Princess, I heard that the Fourth Prince was in charge of receiving the foreign envoys this time, and he performed very well! Many ministers in the court believe that the Fourth Prince has the ability and potential to take on important tasks."
Su Yue frowned slightly and asked softly: "Oh? Do you think the Fourth Prince has a bright future?"
Taozi smiled and replied, "Oh, I'm just a little girl, how can I understand these complicated things! But if the Fourth Prince can succeed, won't he be very good to you, Princess? After all, you saved him."
Su Yue shook her head slightly and said firmly: "How can human hearts be seen through so easily? There is no emotion in the adult world, only the exchange of interests and power. Therefore, we cannot fantasize about relying on others to save ourselves, but should learn to protect ourselves and find ways to save ourselves."
Taozi's eyes widened, and she asked in confusion: "Princess, is there anyone who dares to bully us now? Didn't the emperor give you the Ying Army that Princess Mingzhao left behind? We are no longer soft persimmons that can be bullied by anyone!"
Su Yue smiled helplessly and explained: "Yes, but do you know where the Ying army is? Besides, how can the generals now obey the command of a little girl like me who has no experience and knows nothing?"
Peach nodded thoughtfully. Although she didn't quite understand, she thought that what the princess said was right.
