He tried hard to calm down, and his expression gradually returned to normal, but the inexplicable awkward feeling in his heart was difficult to dissipate, and he always felt that something was weird.

Just as his thoughts were in a mess, Su Wanyu's figure slowly walked towards him from outside the Moon Viewing Pavilion.

It turned out that at the moment when Zheng Chengyan was about to push the door open, Su Wanyu had quietly lifted her skirt and lightly jumped out of the back window.

The windowsill was not high, and there was thick straw underneath. She landed steadily, left the Moon Viewing Tower easily, and disappeared silently into the night along a hidden path.

When Zheng Chengyan saw that Su Wanyu was safe and sound, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. The panic on his face was gradually replaced by calmness, but then replaced by unwillingness and loss. His eyes could not hide the embarrassment and complex emotions.

He originally wanted to tell Su Wanyu those private love words, but unexpectedly they were overheard by the Regent, which made him feel extremely ashamed.

Inside the room, the Regent slowly sat up and rubbed his eyebrows. His eyes lost their previous softness, replaced by a depth and indifference.

A few drinks were nothing to him, not enough to make him really drunk.

After the banquet, he noticed that Zheng Chengyan hurriedly walked towards the back courtyard, obviously intending to reconcile with Su Wanyu.

Gu Linjun, the powerful regent, would naturally not give Zheng Chengyan this opportunity.

He walked quickly through the winding path and arrived at Su Wanyu's room first, deliberately creating this "encounter" to destroy Zheng Chengyan's so-called heartfelt words.

After Zheng Chengyan and Su Wanyu left, Gu Linjun called his trusted guards, walked to the window, picked up a dead branch, and asked calmly, "What's the situation? How is the investigation of the Zheng family going?"

The guard saluted with his sword in hand and replied, "Your Highness, I have sneaked into the Zheng Mansion and found out that the second son of the Zheng family has ignored Miss Su for three years since he married her."

"Not only that, he also took the second daughter of the Jiang family as his concubine, and repeatedly belittled the daughter of the Su family, saying that she was the daughter of a merchant and was not as noble as the second daughter of the Jiang family."

The dry branch in Gu Linjun's hand was accidentally broken, making a crisp sound, revealing his inner anger and dissatisfaction.

"Your Highness?" The guard looked up in surprise.

Gu Linjun threw away the broken branch and asked in a deep voice, "Did His Majesty personally order this marriage?"

The guard nodded and confirmed, "Indeed, Your Majesty was far away in Chuanping at the time, leading the army to fight."

When Gu Linjun was young, he fought in many battles and had no time to take care of trivial matters in the capital. He never expected that the person he was thinking of was Miss Su.

Unfortunately, when he realized all this, it was too late. Su Wanyu had already become a member of the Changping Marquis Mansion.

If he had known this earlier, he would never have allowed the imperial decree granting the marriage to appear.

Gu Linjun frowned, turned around and gave an order: "Get ready immediately, we will enter the palace."

"Yes, Your Highness." The guard responded quickly and swiftly.

This guard is one of the Regent's most trusted secret guards. He usually stays at home and rarely goes out. Even his name is only known by Gu Linjun, who always affectionately calls him Xiaoqi.

In Song Yulin's memory, Xiaoqi was brought back from the street corner by her on that snowy winter day.

She looked at his lips that were frozen purple and felt pity for him, so she decided to let him stay with Gu Linjun. At least in this way, Xiao Qi would have a place to shelter from the wind and rain and a shoulder to lean on.

The two grew up together. Although they are master and servant in their identities, in fact, their relationship goes beyond this boundary. They are more like iron brothers who can support each other.

During this period, the Prince Regent, who had always been calm and composed, seemed to be played a joke by the god of fate. He encountered difficult problems one after another, which made him frown and unable to let go.

The original plan was to go to Jiangzhou via the hidden path in Daliang Mountain, which was both quick and safe.

However, a letter from Su's cousin caused the Regent to change his mind temporarily because of a casual sentence in it. He decided to take a detour and walked several times longer.

This decision puzzled Gu Linjun. You know, the Regent himself had reminded him not long ago that in view of the unusual movements on the part of Prince Liang, the trip to Jiangzhou should be put on hold for the time being.

What is even more puzzling is that ever since the Prince Regent accidentally passed by Miss Su at the horse racecourse, after just that one encounter, he seemed to be attracted by some kind of magic and had to go to Jiangzhou no matter what.

Xiao Qi couldn't help wondering, "Why did you suddenly decide to go there?"

The corners of the Regent's mouth slightly raised, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes, and he whispered: "I want to take a gamble and see if she is really as I imagined."

At that moment, Gu Linjun was full of doubts, but he could only obey the order and accompany the Regent on the journey to Jiangzhou.

Halfway through, a woman in black suddenly appeared in the pouring rain, and Gu Linjun suddenly realized that this was the gambling game that Gu Linjun mentioned.

But this bet is not about the woman's thoughts, but...

He was wrong, the real gambling game was far more complicated than he imagined.

That day, Su Wanyu was gambling on whether her rebirth could change her fate.

What Gu Linjun was betting on was whether Su Wanyu was also a soul that had struggled back from the brink of death like him.

The Regent had already died in the assassination attempt in Daliang Mountain, but miraculously returned to a few months ago.

One month earlier than Su Wanyu's rebirth.

The days after her rebirth seemed ordinary until her mother returned from Chenyang with an urgent letter specially sent by Miss Su, urging her to return to the capital.

Because of an old love, her mother rushed back to the Princess's Mansion overnight. This had never happened in her previous life. Miss Su's unusual behavior aroused Gu Linjun's curiosity.

When Su Wanyu came to the mansion to help the eldest princess change the color of her clothes, Gu Linjun hid behind the curtain, just wanting to take a quick look.

At that glance, he recognized that it was the "Weiwei" he had dreamed of since childhood.

The gentle name "Weiwei" was Su Wanyu's pseudonym when she took refuge in Yuezhou.

At that time, in order to avoid enemies, Ping's mother took her to hide her identity and only called her "Weiwei" to outsiders.

Gu Linjun didn't know much about her, but this name was deeply engraved in his heart like a brand.

Behind the curtain, not only Su Wanyu, but also Gu Linjun himself was shocked.

At that moment, not only Su Wanyu's heart was surging, but even the seemingly calm regent had huge waves in his heart.

Afterwards, the water control strategy on the horse farm was written by Zheng Chengyan in the previous life, but now it has become Luo Wenxuan's handwriting.

The mention of Daliang Mountain in the article was clearly a hint to the Regent not to go there, because she knew that would be his burial place.

All signs indicate that Su Wanyu is very likely to have also experienced rebirth.

Gu Linjun decided to give it a try, and he made the right bet.

Su Wanyu came in the rain, disregarding her own safety, just to stop him from stepping into that land of death.
