Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

On this day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was not dry. The team returning to Beijing from the southern tour marched slowly on the wide official road. The sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling intertwined into a melodious song of the journey home.

The atmosphere in the carriage that Niuhulu was riding in was peaceful and warm. She sat upright on the cushion, gently flipping through an ancient book in her hands. Occasionally, she looked up at the passing scenery outside the window, her eyes flashing with a faint longing for life in the capital.

Cuiyun served attentively on the side, handing over a few exquisite snacks from time to time. The conversation between the two was gentle and pleasant, and they enjoyed this rare leisure time.

However, in this tranquility, a sudden accident broke all the peace.

There was a loud "crack" and the wheel of the carriage that Niuhulu was riding in broke into two without any warning. Then, the horse seemed to be frightened by this sudden change and suddenly kicked its four hooves, causing the whole carriage to shake violently.

"Ah!" Cuiyun screamed and the plate of dessert in her hand almost slipped. She reacted immediately and looked at Niuhulu anxiously.

Although Niuhulu was frightened by this sudden change and her face turned pale, she quickly adjusted herself. She instinctively protected her slightly bulging belly with one hand, and held the small table beside her with the other hand, trying to maintain her balance.

"Princess, are you okay?" Cuiyun's voice was trembling a little. She quickly took a few steps to Nianhulu's side and reached out to support her.

Niuhulu took a deep breath, managed to calm herself down, and shook her head at Cuiyun, indicating that she was fine.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Although her voice was soft, it revealed a firm and soothing power.

At this time, the guards outside the carriage also reacted quickly. They rushed forward in a well-trained manner and worked together to subdue the frightened horse. At the same time, they used ropes to stabilize the shaking carriage to ensure that no further danger would occur.

With the help of the guards, the master and servant were safely taken out of the carriage and stood in an open space nearby.

Cuiyun held Niuhulu tightly, and it seemed that the heartbeats of both of them had not yet completely calmed down.

"Princess, how do you feel? Are you really okay?" Cuiyun asked again in a low voice, her eyes full of concern.

Niuhulu looked around and saw that although there were many people around, they were all busy dealing with this sudden situation and no one paid much attention to them.

So she shook her head gently and signaled to Cuiyun with her eyes that everything was fine and there was no need to worry.

Soon, another prepared carriage slowly drove over, and the guards carefully helped Niuhulu and Cuiyun into the carriage.

Cuiyun still felt uneasy and sat down next to Niuhulu, with her hand gently on her shoulder, as if this could give her more peace of mind and strength.

The carriage set off again, moving slowly towards the capital. Although they had experienced a small shock, the anticipation and joy of returning home in the hearts of the master and servant did not diminish in the slightest.

On the winding official road leading to the prosperous capital, two lines of carriages flowed slowly forward like two parallel streams.

At this moment, a sudden piece of news broke the tranquility in the carriage where Yi Ya was.

"Fujin, news came from the front that Nianhulu's carriage seemed to have encountered some trouble and has stopped." A maid reported softly outside the carriage.

Yi Ya frowned when she heard this, and then told Bai Zhi beside her: "Bai Zhi, go to the front and see what's going on."

Bai Zhi took the order and got off the car quickly. She moved lightly between the carriage and the entourage, and returned with the news soon.

"Fujin, I have inquired clearly. The wheel of Niuhulu's carriage suddenly broke while it was moving, causing the horses to be frightened. Fortunately, the guards controlled the situation in time and no more serious accidents occurred."

After listening to Bai Zhi's report, Yi Ya's eyes flashed with doubt. "The sudden break of the wheel is too coincidental. I always feel uneasy."

She pondered for a moment, then leaned over quietly and whispered in Baizhi's ear, "Baizhi, go again and investigate this matter carefully. I always feel that there may be some unknown secrets hidden behind this."

Bai Zhi heard this, and a trace of determination and firmness flashed in her eyes. She knew Yi Ya's sharpness and caution, and also understood the importance of this trip.

"Don't worry, Fu Jin, I will be careful and not miss any clues."

After saying that, Bai Zhi turned around again and walked forward with firm steps. Yi Ya looked at her leaving back, with a desire for the truth and concern for Bai Zhi's safety in her heart.

She sighed softly and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that everything would go well and that this sudden change would not cause them too much trouble.

On the other side, Bai Zhi has quietly blended into the crowd and started her secret investigation.
