Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

A burst of rapid and firm horse hoofbeats broke the tranquility of the suburbs of Beijing under the darkening sky, accompanied by waves of dust, as if it was the anxious heartbeat of a person returning from afar. Yinzhen and Su Peisheng, a master and a servant, finally set foot on the solid land of Beijing after several days of wind and frost.

"Whoa--" Yinzhen gently tightened the reins, letting the horse under him slowly stop. He looked deeply at the towering city wall. The afterglow of the setting sun gave it a layer of golden glow, but it could not conceal the complexity and depth behind it.

Seeing this, Su Peisheng also stopped his horse, his face full of confusion and concern. He turned his head to look at Yinzhen and asked softly, "Master, don't we go back to the mansion directly?"

Yinzhen shook his head slightly, a barely perceptible sharpness flashed in his eyes: "Return home? I'm afraid that's not appropriate. This trip is of great importance, and the capital must be in a state of panic. If we show up now, wouldn't we be walking into a trap and giving those who are secretly spying on us a head start?"

Su Peisheng's expression froze when he heard this. He immediately understood Yinzhen's intention and bowed, "Your Majesty is far-sighted. It is I who have not thought it through. So, in your opinion, what should we do next?"

Yinzhen pondered for a moment and ordered: "Go find a reliable clothing store first and buy me some clean clothes. Go and come back quickly. Then, you need to take my token and secretly go to the Dali Temple to bring the detained witness here to meet me. Remember, you must be careful in all your actions and don't let the news leak out."

"Yes, I obey your command!" Su Peisheng responded, quickly dismounted, swiftly straightened his clothes, and walked quickly towards the city. His figure soon blended into the bustling crowd.

[Inside a restaurant in a corner of the capital]

After Su Peisheng left, Yinzhen walked into a seemingly inconspicuous restaurant alone, leading his horse. He chose a private room by the window, which was convenient for observing the outside world and hidden enough. After asking the waiter to bring a bucket of hot water and a change of clothes, he began to wash himself.

The hot water slowly poured over his tired body, as if all the fatigue of the past few days was evaporated with the water vapor. Yinzhen closed his eyes to rest, but in his mind he was quickly calculating every move. After a while, he changed into new clothes and walked out of the bathroom. The person in the mirror had a brand new look, and his eyes were shining with a more determined light.

"I'm back to the capital after all." Yinzhen whispered to himself, then walked out of the restaurant, stood in front of the window, and quietly waited for the arrival of Su Peisheng and the key figure.

As the night deepened, the lights in the capital city lit up one by one, and he, like a planner who was about to solve a mystery, quietly waited for the coming storm.

Soon, Su Peisheng and the people from the Dali Temple came to meet Yinzhen. When the leader, Lord Wu, saw Yinzhen, he quickly bowed and greeted him.

"Good luck to the Fourth Master." Lord Wu said respectfully.

After Yinzhen woke up, he looked at Lord Wu and told him that he had returned to Beijing on the orders of Kangxi and hoped that he could cooperate with him in everything.

"Sir Wu, I have returned to Beijing on the orders of the Emperor. I hope you can cooperate with me in everything." Yinzhen said in a deep voice.

After hearing Yinzhen's words, Lord Wu thought that Kangxi was still on a southern tour, and the Crown Prince was in the capital as regent. Kangxi sent Yinzhen back at this time instead of handing it over to the Crown Prince directly. It must be that something big is going to happen in the capital. So Lord Wu quickly said that everything was up to Yinzhen's orders.

Afterwards, Yinzhen took a group of people and went directly to Soetu's mansion.

At this time, Soltu was playing with his pet, a colorful parrot, in the garden of his mansion. Just when he was having fun playing with it, a servant came running over in a hurry.

"Master, master, the Fourth Prince is here, and he has brought officials from the Dali Temple with him." The servant said while panting.

When Soetu saw the servant's flustered look, he couldn't help but scold him, saying that he was too impatient and scared his parrot.

"Why are you so impulsive, you scared my parrot." Soetu said with a frown.

While explaining, the servant told Soetu that Yinzhen had arrived and brought officials from the Dali Temple with him.

"The Fourth Master is here, and he brought officials from the Dali Temple with him?" Suo Etu felt very strange. Shouldn't Yinzhen be with Kai Xin in Hangzhou at this time? How did he appear in the capital, and bring people from the Dali Temple to his house?

Suo Etu was full of doubts. He didn't know why Yinzhen suddenly came to the capital, and brought people from the Dali Temple with him. He didn't know if this meant anything, and he didn't know if this meant he would be in trouble.

So, Soetu quickly dropped the stick he was using to tease the parrot and walked towards the front yard.
