Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Yinzhen walked out of the heavy atmosphere of Kangxi's study, his steps hurried, his mind full of thoughts. When he returned to his own courtyard, a peaceful and warm atmosphere came over him, forming a sharp contrast with the tense atmosphere in the study.

In the courtyard, spring is in the air, the fragrance of flowers is overwhelming, Yi Ya is sitting under the window lattice, the sunlight shines through the veil, and sprinkles on her figure who is concentrating on embroidery, which looks particularly soft and beautiful. The sudden appearance of Yinzhen makes a ripple in this tranquility.

"The master is back." Upon seeing this, the servants in the room hurriedly bowed and greeted him, with a hint of respect and joy in their voices.

Yi Ya was brought back to her senses by the voice. She looked up at the door and saw Yinzhen had already walked into the room, with a hint of imperceptible worry between his brows.

She quickly put down the embroidery needle in her hand, stood up, walked lightly to Yinzhen, and bowed.

Yinzhen walked quickly forward, gently helped Yi Ya up, and they both sat down at the table.

He looked around with an unquestionable majesty in his eyes, and then he whispered, "All of you go down first."

Upon hearing this, the servants quickly and orderly left the room, and the house returned to peace again.

"Master, is there something urgent?" Yi Ya asked with concern when she saw that Yinzhen looked strange.

Yinzhen pondered for a moment, looked at Yiya, and said with a barely perceptible heaviness in his voice: "Yiya, I need you to prepare some changes of clothes."

"Prepare clothes?" Yi Ya heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then asked, "But are we going back to Beijing?"

Yinzhen nodded, but did not elaborate on the reason behind it. He simply said, "The Emperor has sent me to handle an urgent matter, so I may need to return to Beijing early."

When Yi Ya heard "return to Beijing early", she mistakenly thought that Yinzhen was going to return with her, and her face showed joy involuntarily. She said quickly: "If that's the case, then I will let Bai Zhi come in and pack your luggage for you."

Seeing this, Yinzhen quickly interrupted Yiya's misunderstanding and explained, "No, Yiya, you misunderstood. I am secretly returning to Beijing with Su Peisheng alone, so you don't need to prepare your luggage. Moreover, this matter needs to be kept secret and must not be known to others."

When Yi Ya heard this, the smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by a trace of worry and confusion: "Then you, sir..."

Yinzhen gently held Yiya's hand and comforted her: "You just need to do as I say, and then follow the emperor's army back to the capital. I will make arrangements after I finish handling things in the capital, so you don't have to worry."

Yi Ya looked at Yin Zhen's determined eyes, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated. She nodded and agreed, "Okay, I will do as you command. Be careful on the road, and take care of yourself."

Yinzhen smiled slightly and stroked Yiya's hair gently, his eyes full of reluctance and trust for her.

Yi Ya found a moment of peace in Yinzhen's words. She responded softly, "Okay," but then her thoughts drifted to her two sisters who were accompanying her - Niu Hulu Qingran and Wu Gege.

Although they were in the same group on the southern tour, compared with their close relationship with Yinzhen, they always seemed to be marginalized, especially when it came to sleeping with the emperor, which was very rare.

"Master," Yi Ya's voice was filled with a barely perceptible worry, "If Niuhulu and Wu Gege knew that you were going back to Beijing early, they would definitely be confused. How should I explain this to them?"

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's eyes fell gently on Yi Ya. He understood Yi Ya's concerns and was well aware of the delicate relationships within the harem.

He smiled slightly, his tone firm but gentle: "Yiya, you are the wife of this mansion, your words are authoritative. If they ask, you only need to tell them that the emperor has important matters and summoned me to return to the capital as soon as possible. As for the rest, there is no need to say more. They will understand naturally, and there is no need to explain too much."

After hearing what Yinzhen said, Yiya suddenly understood. She knew Yinzhen's intentions and was grateful for his trust and understanding. She nodded gently and said, "I understand, Master. I will handle it properly."

Yinzhen felt a warm current in his heart when he saw this. He gently patted the back of Yiya's hand to comfort and encourage her: "Yiya, you are always so considerate. After I leave, you don't have to miss me too much. Just enjoy your time in Hangzhou. When the emperor's army is ready to return to Beijing, you can go with him. Remember, your happiness and well-being are the most important to me."

Yi Ya's eyes could not help but turn red as she listened to Yin Zhen's words. She held back her tears and tried to force out a smile: "Don't worry, Master. I will take good care of myself. You should also take care of yourself and go back early."

After saying that, Yi Ya gently broke free from Yin Zhen's hand, turned around and walked towards the closet, and began to choose clothes for Yin Zhen. Her movements were both quick and meticulous, and each piece of clothing was carefully selected, as if she wanted to sew her thoughts and care into the clothes.

Yinzhen sat quietly by the side, his eyes following Yi Ya's figure, his heart filled with gratitude and reluctance. He knew that with Yi Ya around, he could feel the warmth and peace of home no matter where he was.
