Rebirth is not a dream.

After Su Yue came out of Yaohua Palace, she was full of joy and prepared to leave the palace and return to Anning Marquis Mansion, but she didn't expect to run into the Southern King of Beiyan on the palace road. She walked up to him, bowed, and greeted him, "Meet the Southern King."

Nan Wang Chen Muzhao frowned and questioned Su Yue sternly: "Don't you know that your father is injured? Why don't you go to Dali Palace to visit him?"

Su Yue responded fearlessly: "Doesn't your emperor refuse to meet anyone? Then how can I see him?"

Southern King Chen Muzhao sneered, "How can you be compared with those outsiders?"

Su Yue asked back: "What's the difference? I am the princess of Da'an, how can I become the princess of your Beiyan?"

Southern Prince Chen Muzhao laughed and said sarcastically, "You are the daughter of Princess Mingzhao! Doesn't this mean that you are also a princess of Northern Yan?"

Su Yue sneered and said, "Didn't you say I was a bastard? How come I'm now the princess of your Beiyan? You don't need princesses in Beiyan! Your Princess Wuyang is your aunt, right? She's also a concubine of our Da'an! And isn't Princess Qingwu also in Da'an? Isn't she going to marry the princes? Why do you need someone like me who has no education since childhood to be your princess?"

After hearing this, Nan Wang Chen Muzhao's face darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, "You are such an ungrateful woman!"

Su Yue sneered and said, "Haha, don't you want to get something from me? I don't have much except some money. However, I have donated all my money to Emperor Da'an, so I don't have much left. What else do you want? Most of my mother's dowry should be in your Beiyan. I don't have much in my hands. By the way, you can sort out your mother's dowry. Maybe the warrant of the Iron Eagle Guard that the world is looking for is in the dowry. You're welcome. I'll leave first." After that, she turned and left, leaving behind the angry Southern King Chen Muzhao.

Chen Muzhao looked at Su Yue's receding back, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, and swore in his heart: "Humph! Su Yue, you ignorant woman, how dare you provoke me like this? I will make you pay the price!"

On the other side, after Su Yue walked a distance away, she carefully looked back and confirmed that the Southern King had not caught up with her. She finally breathed a sigh of relief. She patted her chest and thought with lingering fear: "Huh... That was a close call! What I said just now must have angered the Southern King. It seems that I have to be more cautious in the palace in the future."

As Su Yue walked, she was thinking about the next coping strategy. She knew that her behavior had already attracted the attention and dissatisfaction of the Southern King, but it was too late to reverse it. She could only try to avoid conflict with the Southern King again and look for opportunities to resolve the conflict between them.

However, Su Yue also realized that this incident might just be the beginning. In the palace, power struggles are everywhere, and one can be involved in them if one is not careful. Moreover, she also needs to face the open and covert struggles of other palace dignitaries, which forces her to be vigilant at all times.

Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but frowned. She suddenly felt a little tired, wondering if she could really cope with such a complicated palace environment. At the same time, she was also worried about the future, not knowing how to protect herself and the people around her.

At this moment, Su Yue suddenly remembered the upcoming palace banquet. She muttered to herself, "I'm afraid the palace banquet in the next few days will not be peaceful. I wonder if I can just not attend it. But if I don't attend, will I appear too cowardly and attract more attention?"

Su Yue was caught in a dilemma and could not make a decision for a while. She knew that no matter which path she chose, it would be full of challenges and difficulties. She had to face these problems bravely and find her own way to survive.

Su Yue originally wanted to return to the An Ning Marquis Mansion, but some things had to be prepared in advance, so Su Yue invited Du Wei, the head of the Qifeng Escort Agency, to meet at the Dali Restaurant.

Arriving at the Dali Restaurant, Su Yue asked the waiter to serve the dishes, and then directly explained her purpose. "Master Du, I want you to help investigate something."

Su Yue looked at Du Wei seriously, with determination in her eyes. Du Wei nodded and said seriously, "Princess, please tell me. As long as my Seven Winds Escort Agency can do it, I will never refuse." Su Yue took a deep breath and lowered her voice and said, "I want you to check the movements of the King of the South, especially his connection with the Iron Eagle Guard."

Hearing this, Du Wei frowned slightly and looked troubled: "Princess, this may be difficult. The Southern King is of noble status, and his whereabouts must be protected by someone."

Su Yue was of course aware of the difficulty of this matter, but she had no other choice but to place her hopes on Du Wei. So she looked at Du Wei sincerely and said earnestly: "I know this is troublesome, but this matter is of great importance. Please take care of it, Mr. Du."

Dewey thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll do my best. But it will take some time."

"Thank you, Mr. Du." Su Yue said gratefully.

Du Wei looked at Su Yue, wondering if she knew his true identity. As the leader of the Iron Eagle Guard, he was confused about what to do next. Princess Ming Zhao had passed away, and her last order was to "act according to circumstances", which put him in a dilemma. Du Wei returned to the Qifeng Escort Agency and discussed with his confidants what to do and how to explain to Princess Ming Yue.

On the one hand, he doesn't know whether to follow Princess Mingyue's instructions or Princess Mingzhao's will; on the other hand, Chen Muzhao, as the prince of Beiyan, would betray his country if he followed his command. However, the enemy of the Su family is the current emperor. Should their hatred be avenged?

In addition, they have not taken any action against the Su family's enemies, the Su Huai family. There are two reasons for this: one is that they are waiting for the order of Princess Ming Zhao, who has not issued an order to execute Su Huai for many years; the other is that the real Su family members are still alive, but they have not been able to get in touch with them, nor can they know their attitudes and opinions. Although they know that Su Mingyuan is the descendant of the fourth young master of the Su family, and that the fourth young master of the Su family is still alive, they have not been able to get in touch with him for many years.

During this time, they have been loyal to the orders of Princess Mingzhao. Now that Princess Mingzhao is gone, they need to re-examine the situation and make a decision. This decision is not only related to personal loyalty and faith, but also involves the safety of the country and the grievances of the family. Faced with such a complicated situation, Dewey fell into deep thought. Confidant Zheng Yong said, "Yes, but Princess Mingzhao has been dead for seven or eight years, and we are used to the peaceful life now." Dewey also said with emotion, "If there is no definite token to prove it, I really don't want to go back to the days of killing and fighting in the past."

Zheng Yong sighed: "However, fate is always unpredictable. Perhaps this is destined! It's good to enjoy a moment of peace. After all, we are still alive now."

The two talked about some details, including how to deal with possible situations and how to protect themselves. Finally, Du Wei said to Zheng Yong: "No matter what Princess Mingyue wants to do, let's put the princess's safety first." Zheng Yong also said: "Let's do this for now, but do you know what Princess Mingyue thinks?" Du Wei: "I don't know what Princess Mingyue thinks, but the Southern King of Beiyan should be paid attention to, and the princess is also paying attention to him." Zheng Yong: "The token in the Southern King's hand?" Du Wei: "I don't know at the moment, but Princess Mingyue may know our identity, otherwise she would not ask us to investigate the Southern King." Zheng Yong: "I think this Princess Mingyue seems to be unusual, and the third son of the Qin family is also unusual." Du Wei: "No matter what, let's put the princess's safety first, and go check it out first."
