Rebirth is not a dream.

Late at night, everything was quiet, the noise of the city gradually subsided, and people were immersed in dreams. In this quiet night, Su Yue slept particularly sweetly. She lay on the soft big bed, curled up slightly, like a quiet kitten. The moonlight shone on her face through the gap in the curtains, reflecting her peaceful face. Her breathing was even and deep, and she occasionally snored slightly, as if she was enjoying a good dream.

Suddenly, a loud noise broke the silence of the night. The sound seemed to come from far away, yet seemed to be very close, with an unsettling atmosphere.

Su Yue was originally immersed in her sleep, but was awakened by the sudden noise. She sat up suddenly, her heartbeat speeding up, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

The dark room seemed particularly eerie, giving her a chill. She looked around nervously, trying to figure out what was going on.

The moonlight from the window came in through the curtains, and the faint light and shadows were reflected on the wall, forming patches of mottled shadows. Su Yue widened her eyes and carefully observed everything around her, but found nothing unusual.

However, the noise continued, sometimes sharp and piercing, sometimes low and hoarse, as if countless voices were arguing and fighting. Su Yue's palms began to sweat, she tightly grasped the quilt, and her body trembled slightly.

"What on earth is that sound?" she whispered to herself, her heart filled with confusion and fear. She tried to recall if she had ever heard such a sound before, but her mind came up blank.

The noise was getting louder and louder, as if the whole world was in chaos. Su Yue could no longer bear this depressing atmosphere, so she decided to get up and check the situation outside.

She got out of bed carefully, put on her slippers, and tiptoed to the door, each step as if she were stepping on cotton, for fear of making any noise that would attract unnecessary attention.

When she opened the door, a cool breeze blew in her face, making her shiver. The lights in the corridor were dim, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling. Su Yue took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to walk out of the room, and walked towards the direction of the noise. Suddenly, a man in black rushed in front of her. Su Yue instinctively raised her hand to hit him, but the other party fell in front of her and said weakly: "Save me..."

Su Yue looked carefully and found that the man in black in front of him was Su Mingyuan. He looked haggard and exuded a strong smell of blood. Su Yue's heart tightened and realized that things were not simple.

Su Yue helped Su Mingyuan into the room, closed the door, and temporarily avoided potential danger.

"Tell me, what happened?" Su Yue sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Su Mingyuan.

Su Mingyuan fainted without saying anything. Su Yue didn't know what happened, so she called Chenxiang to check his injuries. After checking, Chenxiang said, "Princess, your cousin didn't suffer any serious injuries, but he lost too much blood, so he needs to be well taken care of for a while."

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and the crisis was approaching again. Su Yue didn't want to alarm the people in An Ning Marquis's Mansion, so she just asked Qiu Zhu to go and see what was going on.

Su Yue looked at Su Mingyuan, who was pale, wondering what he had been doing in the past six months and why he came to her Yunxiao Courtyard with injuries all over his body. Qiu Zhu hurried back and reported in panic, "Princess, it's a group of strange men in black, they are searching everywhere."

Su Yue frowned, thinking to herself, "How could Su Mingyuan get involved with these people? Now that he is seriously injured, we must not let them find this place."

She made a prompt decision and ordered, "Qiuzhu, quickly hide Su Mingyuan in the compartment. Has the Third Young Master not come back today?" Chenxiang: "Jiang Yuan reported in the evening that the Third Young Master would be back later today and told the princess not to wait for him. So far, the Third Young Master has not come back, and it seems that the Eldest Young Master has not come back today either."

Su Yue wondered what happened in Kyoto this year, and where Su Mingyuan was injured? Who was this person outside looking for, was he looking for Su Mingyuan?

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Su Yue asked Qiu Zhu to go see what was going on. After a while, Qiu Zhu reported back, "It was the soldiers. They said they were catching an assassin. The Emperor of Beiyan was stabbed."

Su Yue frowned, wondering if Su Mingyuan was the assassin? But why would he assassinate the emperor? She decided not to tell Qiu Zhu and Chen Xiang the truth first, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

She asked Qiu Zhu to continue hiding Su Mingyuan and told them not to reveal any flaws. Then, she opened the door and let the soldiers in to search.

The officers and soldiers searched the room carefully but found nothing unusual. They asked Su Yue if she had seen any suspicious people, and Su Yue replied that she had not.

After the officers and soldiers left, Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that this matter might become complicated, but she had to protect Su Mingyuan's safety. At the same time, she also had to find a way to find out the truth of the matter.

Su Yue frowned and looked at Qiu Zhu, thinking secretly in her heart, the New Year will come in half a month, but the Emperor of Beiyan did not return to the country, but was stabbed by an assassin in Da'an. Is he trying to use this to provoke a war with Da'an? It's really worrying! Can everyone spend a good New Year quietly? Why do you have to stir up so many troubles? Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

She turned to the chief guard and said, "Have all the courtyards in the mansion been searched?" The chief guard replied respectfully, "Princess, the east and west courtyards have been searched. Currently, only the main courtyard and the old lady's courtyard have not been checked." After hearing this, Su Yue thought that things seemed very complicated.

After Su Yue asked the guard leader to leave, she slowly walked into the house. She whispered to Chen Xiang, "Go and make arrangements for my cousin." Then she turned to look at Su Mingyuan who was sleeping on the bed and asked, "How long will it take for him to wake up?" Chen Xiang replied respectfully, "Princess, my cousin should be able to wake up tomorrow morning." Su Yue nodded slightly, glanced at the sleeping Su Mingyuan again, asked Chen Xiang to take good care of him, and then turned and left.

When Su Yue returned to the inner room, Qin Yi just came back. Seeing Qin Yi, Su Yue couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why did you come back so late? Just now a group of soldiers came to search the yard, saying that they wanted to arrest some assassin. What happened?"

Qin Yi frowned and answered in a heavy tone: "Yes, the Emperor of Beiyan met with an accident in the Dali Palace. An assassin sneaked in and hurt him."

Su Yue's eyes widened as she asked in surprise, "The Dali Palace is so heavily guarded, how could an assassin sneak in? And he even injured the Emperor of Beiyan! How badly is he injured?"

Qin Yi shook his head helplessly: "The specific situation is not clear, the defense inside is tight, and no news has been heard."

Su Yue nodded thoughtfully: "So that's how it is..."

Qin Yi gently held Su Yue's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, the emperor will never let anything happen to the Emperor of Beiyan. I believe that the Emperor of Beiyan himself will not easily put himself in danger. You don't have to worry too much."

Su Yue muttered to herself, she was not the original owner, so she was not so worried about these things. However, she couldn't help but think about the origin of the assassin. Was it a conspiracy from Beiyan or a conspiracy from within Da'an? These questions made her feel irritable and uneasy, because no matter which case, it meant that there might be more troubles and challenges in the future. This world is really full of unknowns and dangers, and there is no moment to rest assured.
