Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

On the second day, the morning sun filled every corner of the Forbidden City, bringing vitality to this ancient palace. Yinzhen walked out of Li Gege's bedroom, with a bit of reluctance on his face, but more of comfort for Li Gege.

"Li, stay in the courtyard well. The house arrest will be lifted in a month." Yinzhen said gently, his tone full of concern.

When Li Gege heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up with joy. She had originally thought that she would have to spend a long six-month confinement period, but she never thought that Yinzhen's words would shorten it by half. She looked at Yinzhen gratefully and nodded solemnly: "Master, don't worry, I will stay in the courtyard well for this month."

Seeing this, Yinzhen nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left for the court.

In the main courtyard, Yi Ya Fu Jin had just woken up, and her mind couldn't help but come to mind yesterday's discussion with everyone about Wu Gege's pregnancy. After washing up, she took her personal maid Bai Shu and walked towards Wu Gege's bedroom.

Wu Gege was very happy to learn that Yi Ya was visiting. Although she was pregnant and had difficulty moving, she insisted on bowing to Yi Ya with the help of her maid Yun Xiang. Seeing this, Yi Ya hurried forward to help her up and said gently: "You are pregnant now, so you don't have to be so polite."

The two of them sat down together, and Wu Gege said apologetically, "The wife just returned home yesterday. I wanted to go to the main courtyard to pay her respects, but I was afraid of disturbing your rest."

Yi Ya shook her head gently and smiled, "Yesterday I asked Nanny Wang about the situation in the backyard. Although she said everything was fine, I still wanted to come and see you in person."

As she spoke, Yi Ya's eyes fell on Wu Gege's belly. She gently stroked Wu Gege's hand and asked with concern: "It has been three months now, right? Are you feeling unwell?"

Wu Gege smiled and shook his head, saying, "Everything is fine. This child is very well behaved and has not caused me any hardship."

After hearing this, Yi Ya nodded with relief. She reminded him, "The fetus is stable now. You can go for a walk more often when you have nothing to do. It will also be good for the fetus."

Wu Gege agreed obediently, saying that she would listen to Yi Ya and go out more often. The two chatted about family matters for a while, and then Yi Ya got up and left.

The sun was shining brightly, and Li Gege was sitting alone by the window, feeling mixed emotions, waiting for the unknown day of release. However, fate did not seem to let her get her wish.

"Princess, Princess!" Zitan rushed into the bedroom with unprecedented panic on her face.

Li Gege turned around and saw Zitan so flustered, and her heart tightened: "What's wrong? Zitan, what happened?"

Zitan knelt in front of Li Gege, panting, and handed her a letter with trembling hands: "Gege, this is the letter I just received from home, please take a look."

Li Gege took the letter suspiciously, opened it and looked at it, her face suddenly changed. There was a trace of disbelief in her eyes, and her fingers tightly grasped the letter, as if she wanted to crush it.

"This...is this true?" Li Gege's voice trembled and tears welled up in her eyes.

Zitan lowered her head, not daring to look into Li Gege's eyes: "Yes, Gege. The letter said that the master died of illness during exile, and the young master was also very ill."

Li Gege was struck by lightning, as if her soul had been taken away from her. She sat there blankly, tears silently sliding down her cheeks. She had never thought that the day she had been waiting for to be released from the ban would bring such bad news.

"I want to go home!" Li Gege suddenly stood up, with a determined light in her eyes, "I want to go home immediately and see my father for the last time!"

However, the reality is cruel. Li Gege was confined to her house and could not even step out of the courtyard. She paced back and forth anxiously, feeling helpless and desperate.

"Zitan, go and report to Lady Yi Ya!" Li Gege suddenly stopped, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, "Tell her that I have to go home, and let me go back no matter what!"

Zitan nodded and turned away without hesitation. She knew that this was Li Gege's only hope at the moment.

However, the waiting process was long and agonizing. Li Gege stood by the window, looking at the bright moon in the night sky, her heart filled with endless thoughts and prayers. She hoped that Lady Yi Ya could help her realize this wish and allow her to go home to see her brother for the last time.

In the main courtyard with carved beams and painted buildings, Zitan knelt on the smooth floor tiles and bowed to the seated Lady Yi Ya. Her voice was full of earnestness: "Lady, my princess asked to leave the house. She wants to personally see her father off for the last time."

Lady Yi Ya frowned slightly. She knew the deep father-daughter relationship between Li Gege and Li's father. But the rules in the palace were strict and she couldn't change them easily. Besides, it was the Ulanala Mansion that caused Li's father to end up like this. She was silent for a moment, with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

"Zitan, go back and tell Li Gege that I understand how she feels, but she is still under house arrest and cannot leave the house." Lady Yi Ya's voice was soft but firm, "I will agree to let her send someone to send something to the Li family as a token of sympathy."

Zitan heard this, although she felt unwilling, but she also knew that Lady Yi Ya's decision could not be changed. She raised her head, a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes: "Lady, Li Gege..."

"Zitan, stop talking." Lady Yi Ya interrupted her, her tone revealing a hint of unquestionable, "I have made up my mind, go back and tell Li Gege."

Zitan had no choice but to leave. She walked out of the main courtyard, but she still felt sorry for Li Gege. She knew that Li Gege must be in great pain at the moment.

After returning to Li Gege's residence, Zitan told her the truth about Lady Yi Ya's decision. After hearing this, Li Gege was stunned for a moment. Her face was pale and her eyes were full of disbelief: "Did Lady Yi Ya really say that?"

Zitan lowered her head, not daring to look into Li Gege's eyes: "Yes, Gege."

Li Gege's anger exploded instantly. She stood up suddenly and rushed to the door: "I want to find her! I want to find her!"

However, she was stopped by Aunt Liu just as she stepped out of the door. Aunt Liu looked serious, but her tone was full of consolation: "Princess, calm down. Since Fu Jin has made a decision, it will be useless for you to make a fuss."

Li Gege glared at Liu Mama angrily, but her anger gradually subsided after Liu Mama's persuasion. She knew that it would be useless to continue making a fuss at this moment. So she gritted her teeth and turned back to the house.

In the following days, Li Gege became silent. She no longer mentioned leaving the house, but quietly prepared some things and sent someone to deliver them to the Li family. She knew that this was the only thing she could do.

However, deep in her heart, her resentment towards Yi Ya Fujin was quietly growing. She silently thought that one day, she would also let Yi Ya Fujin taste the feeling of losing a loved one.
