Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

In a mansion in Jinling, Yinqi was drinking with guests, laughter and joy filled the entire hall, celebrating some unknown festive moment. And in the distant Forbidden City in Beijing, another scene quietly unfolded.

Li Gege's courtyard was particularly warm because of the little prince's third bathing day. However, due to the absence of family dignitaries such as Yinzhen, the celebration was not as grand as expected.

Despite this, the Empress Defei in the palace still did not forget her grace and bestowed precious gifts to show her care; and the concubines in the harem also followed suit and sent their blessings and gifts to Li Gege's bedroom.

Although Li Gege was weak and could not personally receive every visitor, her heart was full of gratitude.

She specifically instructed her personal maid, Madam Liu, to do her best to entertain every guest who came to give gifts and ensure that their intentions were properly responded to.

Among the many guests, Wu Yazhixi quietly appeared, holding a carefully prepared gift, but with mixed emotions in her heart.

Although her plan did not succeed completely, she felt an indescribable joy when she thought that Li Gege would never be able to have children again. So she decided to go to Li Gege's bedroom in person to find out what was going on.

"Madam Liu, I've come here specially to visit Princess Li." Wu Yazhixi's voice was gentle and soft, but it was difficult to conceal her inner fluctuations.

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu frowned slightly. Although she was reluctant, she could only agree reluctantly due to etiquette. She took Wu Yazhixi through the corridor and came to Li Gege's bedroom.

"Princess, Princess Uya is here to visit you." Nanny Liu reported softly.

Li Gege was slightly startled when she heard this, and then signaled Liu Ma to invite Wu Yazhixi in. She lay on the bed, looking at the sunlight pouring in from the window, feeling mixed emotions.

Wu Yazhixi walked into the room with light and graceful steps. She came to Li Gege's bedside, bowed deeply, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations, Sister Li, on the birth of your precious son."

Li Gege forced a smile and replied calmly, "Thank you, Wuya Gege."

Seeing this, Wu Yazhixi smiled even brighter. She pretended to be concerned, looked at Li Gege and said, "I heard that your delivery was extremely difficult. It's really heartbreaking. But don't be too sad. After all, you already have the second and third princes. It's time for us newcomers to have some opportunities in the backyard."

When Li Gege heard this, her face suddenly turned pale. She glared at Wu Yazhixi angrily and shouted, "Wu Ya Gege! What do you mean by that? It's not your turn to worry about my affairs!"

Wu Yazhixi didn't seem to care about Li Gege's anger. She still kept a smiling expression and said, "Please calm down, I just said it casually. You are weak, so you should have a good rest. I will come to visit the little prince another day."

After saying this, Wu Yazhixi turned and left, leaving Li Gege alone on the bed, trembling with anger.

Upon seeing this, Madam Liu hurried forward to comfort Li Gege, but at the same time she felt disgusted with Wu Yazhixi's behavior.

And Wu Yazhixi walked out of Li Gege's bedroom with her unchanged smile.

Her heart was filled with pride and satisfaction, as if she had seen her future rise in the harem. However, she did not realize that her actions had planted deep hidden dangers for herself.

Li Gege sat quietly beside the bed, her eyes penetrating the window lattice, fixed on Wu Yazhixi's gradually receding figure.

Her eyes were filled with complex emotions, anger, unwillingness and doubt intertwined, causing her to involuntarily slap the bed beneath her, making a dull sound, as if venting her inner emotions.

However, this brief venting did not make Li Gege lose her mind. She quickly adjusted her breathing, calmed herself down, and her thoughts slowly returned to that stormy night - the day she gave birth.

That day, the pain surged like a tide, almost drowning her. But what she remembered most was not the heart-wrenching pain, but the faint fragrance that filled the air during the delivery process.

The fragrance was unlike any of the flowers or spices commonly seen in the palace. It was unique and secretive, lingering around her nose like a ghost, adding an inexplicable trance to her extreme pain.

Thinking back at this moment, Li Gege's heart trembled suddenly. She seemed to have grasped some key information, and a terrible idea formed in her mind - her childbirth might not be simply arranged by God, but someone secretly made a move!

Thinking of this, Li Gege's eyes became extremely determined. She had to find out the truth about this matter and seek justice for herself and her innocent child. So, she called out softly, "Zitan, come here."

Upon hearing the voice, Zitan immediately put down the work in his hands, walked quickly to Li Gege, and asked softly: "Gege, what do you want?"

Li Gege looked at Zitan, with a hint of barely perceptible worry in her eyes, but more of it was trust and dependence. She lowered her voice and cautiously instructed: "Zitan, check everything about the day I gave birth, especially pay attention to whether there is any unusual aroma. I suspect that the heavy bleeding that day was not an accident."

Zitan's face suddenly changed when she heard this. She knew very well how dangerous it was when Li Gege gave birth, and she had also heard some rumors about the harem fighting. When she heard Li Gege's words, she immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

She nodded solemnly and said, "Princess, rest assured, I will investigate this matter carefully and will not let go of any suspicious traces."

Li Gege looked at Zitan's determined eyes and felt a little relieved. She gently patted the back of Zitan's hand and said gratefully: "Zitan, thank you. I know this is difficult, but I believe you can do it."

Zitan smiled slightly, with a determined light in her eyes. "Princess, you saved my life, and I should do anything for you. You just need to rest and recuperate, and leave the rest to me."

After saying that, Zitan turned around and left Li Gege's bedroom. She knew that she was about to embark on a road full of thorns and dangers, but for Li Gege and for that deep friendship, she was willing to make every effort.
