Rebirth is not a dream.

As night fell, Qin Yi returned home. Walking into the room, he saw Su Yue sitting quietly on the couch, holding a book in her hands, reading attentively. He walked up to her and asked gently, "Yue'er, have you had dinner?"

Su Yue raised her head and glanced at Qin Yi, with a hint of dissatisfaction and resentment in her eyes. She replied softly: "You haven't been back for a few days. If you wait until you care about whether I eat or not, I probably won't be able to collect the body warm."

Qin Yi heard the resentment in Su Yue's words, and his heart tightened. He hurriedly walked to the bed and sat down. He reached out and gently stroked her face, and asked with concern: "Madam, are you angry?"

Su Yue glared at Qin Yi, turned her head away, not looking at him, and said, "Shouldn't I be angry? It's almost the New Year, and you've been missing day after day. How can you not live your life?" Her tone was full of grievance and dissatisfaction.

Qin Yi looked at Su Yue distressedly, knowing that he had neglected her feelings these days because of his busy work. He held her hand tightly and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, my wife, I've been too busy lately and neglected you. But I'm also working hard for our future and for this family. I hope you can understand me."

Su Yue turned around and looked at Qin Yi, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "I understand your hard work, but shouldn't husband and wife accompany each other?"

Qin Yi nodded and hugged Su Yue in his arms. "I know, I neglected it. I will try to spend more time with you in the future."

Su Yue leaned in Qin Yi's arms, feeling his warmth. "Okay, forget it this time. But you have to promise me that no matter how busy you are in the future, you must remember to go home."

Qin Yi patted Su Yue's back gently, "Don't worry, my lady. I promise you." The two sat in each other's arms, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

At this moment, Qin Yi suddenly remembered something, so he loosened his hand holding Su Yue and took out an exquisite box from his arms. He smiled and gently handed the box to Su Yue: "This is a small gift for you, just consider it as my apology." Su Yue took the box with some doubts and opened it carefully. Inside was a pair of beautiful jade bracelets, which were crystal clear and sparkling with warm light.

"This is..." Su Yue looked at Qin Yi in surprise, her eyes full of joy and emotion. Qin Yi smiled and said softly, "I know you have always liked jade, so I specially selected this pair of bracelets as a gift. I hope you like it." Hearing this, Su Yue felt a warm current in her heart. She gently stroked the pair of jade bracelets, as if she could feel Qin Yi's intentions.

Su Yue put on the bracelet gratefully, then raised her head and smiled sweetly and happily at Qin Yi. Her eyes were full of love, and she whispered, "Thank you, husband." Qin Yi stared at Su Yue quietly, and seeing her so happy, his heart was also filled with happiness. He felt that as long as he could make Su Yue happy, everything was worth it.

Su Yue looked down at the jade bracelet on her wrist and suddenly said, "Concubine Su summoned me to the palace tomorrow, but I don't know what it is about?"

Qin Yi, who was sitting next to her, frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Concubine Su is the concubine of the Marquis of Huguo Mansion, and is very favored by the emperor, but she usually doesn't interact with the ladies and other female relatives. Why did she suddenly summon you this time?"

Su Yue shook her head, indicating that she didn't know the reason. Qin Yi continued, "As far as I know, Concubine Su's relationship with the Huguohou Mansion is not good. Maybe this summons is related to them."

Su Yue couldn't help but feel a little worried when she heard this. She originally thought that she had gotten rid of the shackles of the Huguo Hou Mansion, but she didn't expect to be involved in this dispute.

Then, Su Yue asked again: "By the way, how is the Emperor of Beiyan now?" Qin Yi replied: "He should be safe, but he is not seeing guests yet."

Su Yue asked doubtfully, "Can the king of this country be so willful? It's almost the New Year and you're not in a hurry to return home?" Qin Yi smiled and explained, "It's only a few days before the New Year, and it will be the Little New Year soon. If we leave Da'an now, we won't be able to get back to the capital of Beiyan in time."

Su Yue nodded, thinking that it was true. After all, the journey was long, and even the emperor needed time to arrange the itinerary. But she still felt a little strange, and always felt that things were not that simple. Perhaps this time, Concubine Su's summons would really bring her unexpected troubles. Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Qin Yi looked at Su Yue. He knew that she didn't like trouble, but he still patiently comforted her: "Don't worry, I will ask my mother to pass a message to Concubine Shu, asking her to take care of you more in the palace. Given the friendship between Concubine Shu and Concubine Su, Concubine Su shouldn't deliberately make things difficult for you."

However, Su Yue still had a sad face, and her tone was a little helpless: "But I really don't want to enter the palace! But there is no way not to go... Alas, can we stay away from these palace disputes?"

Qin Yi gently held her hand, with a firm look in his eyes: "Of course, as long as there is a chance, I will ask His Majesty for an opportunity to be transferred to another place. However, I don't know if you are willing to leave Kyoto?"

Su Yue's eyes lit up, as if she saw a glimmer of hope: "Is it really possible? But will this affect your career prospects?"

Qin Yi smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter. No matter where I am, it is a kind of experience. It will not have much impact on my career. Besides, there are signs of succession in the court now. Staying away from Kyoto is also a form of self-protection."

Su Yue nodded, not quite understanding: "I don't quite understand these, but has the assassin not been caught yet?"

Qin Yi frowned slightly and said solemnly: "He has not been arrested yet. It is just speculated based on the clues that the mastermind behind this may be related to the Sixth Prince."

Su Yue frowned and said, "Does the Sixth Prince have a grudge against Beiyan? He actually did such a thing! Isn't he putting himself in the crosshairs of everyone by doing this? It's so stupid!" She couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, feeling very puzzled and helpless about the Sixth Prince's behavior.

Su Yue originally thought that with money and power, life should be smoother, but the reality seems to be even less free than before when she was running around. Not only that, she can't even get away from it all. She doesn't know where she can go. After leaving An Ning Marquis Mansion, Kyoto and Qin Yi, where can she go? The most important thing is that it doesn't matter where she goes, but at the same time she has nowhere to go. Does she have to get to know a group of new people again? However, no matter who they are, they are not much different from the current ones.

Su Yue had a thought of just getting by, and she couldn't help thinking: "Forget it, let it be..." This thought made her feel helpless and tired, but at the same time, she also felt that this might be easier. She didn't know whether she should continue to persevere or give up, and everything became unclear.
