Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

"… Everything was fine before. After Abao and I arrived in Haoyue, we just treated ourselves as ordinary travelers. Lu Qianyun and the others didn't notice it at all. Later, my brother came with Princess Mingyue. Because my brother had been to Haoyue before and knew about Lu Qianyun's collusion with the ministers, we didn't dare to be careless. My brother always changed his face to show others…

Afterwards, Second Senior Brother and my elder brother were going to the palace to look for Nangong Tianlin, but they were discovered by Lu Qianyun’s people. Although they didn’t see him, their identities were discovered, so we had to hide. We lived in another village for two months. We were sure that Lu Qianyun’s people had given up the search after making a decision, so we came out again..."

"...Nangong Tianlin sent someone to spread the news that he wanted to see Abao. We were on high alert and didn't dare to show up easily. It was my brother who went to inquire many times before he was sure that Nangong Tianlin really wanted to see Abao. But something unexpected happened. Abao didn't see his uncle, but my brother was caught instead."

Guan Mengxin whispered about what happened during that time. Maybe it was because Wei Bingyan was perceptive, but when Guan Mengxin mentioned Mingyue, the expression on her face seemed wrong.

Yes, Mingyue! Wei Bingyan finally thought of something that had always seemed a little strange: how come she hadn’t seen Mingyue in such a long time?

"Xiao Xin, where is Mingyue?" she couldn't help but ask.

Guan Mengxin raised her head with anger in her eyes, "If it wasn't for her, how could my brother be arrested? She clearly knew that my brother had contact with Lu Qianyun's maid in order to inquire about military secrets. Not only did she make trouble out of nothing, but she also revealed my brother's identity. How dare she stay here? Do you have the face to see my brother?"

"What?" Wei Bingyan was shocked after hearing this. Guan Hualang was dragged down by Mingyue? Then... where did Mingyue go?

"Madam, the medicine is ready." Without waiting for Wei Bingyan and Guan Mengxin to ask for clarification, Bai Binghui walked in with the medicine juice that was emitting wisps of smoke.

Guan Mengxin knew that Wei Bingyan and Mingyue were good friends, so she forced herself to suppress her hatred and said, "First, feed your brother and let him take the medicine according to the doctor's orders. I'll talk to you later."

After feeding Guan Hualang the medicine, Wei Bingyan left Bai Binghui to take good care of him, and followed Guan Mengxin to the outer room to talk.

Wang Tianbao, Yu Hongxin and others were discussing something in the main hall. They should be thinking about how to get away from Haoyue quickly. However, given Guan Hualang's current condition, it might be difficult for him to move in the short term.

However, it is still difficult to say what will happen in the short term. Now we have to rescue Guan Hualang first.

Guan Mengxin poured a cup of tea for Wei Bingyan, "Thank goodness you came, but, Third Senior Brother, how can you feel at ease coming alone?"

"He is not in Baiyue City, and I have no way to contact him all of a sudden, so I had to come here alone. He will come here after receiving my letter in some time." Wei Bingyan took a sip of tea and spoke softly.

After glancing at the inner room, she couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Xin, where is Princess Mingyue?"

Guan Mengxin didn't seem to want to mention Mingyue, her eyes were swollen from the tears she had just shed.

She took a hand towel and dipped it in tea to apply to her eyes, curling her lips and saying, "I don't know where she went. She disappeared without a trace after arguing with my brother. On the day we rescued my brother, she came back once, and when she saw my brother like that...she ran away and has not been seen since.

Humph, it was all her fault that my brother became like that. She must have hated my brother's appearance and ran away. Maybe she has returned to the Tang Dynasty to be her princess!"

Mingyue is not that kind of person! Wei Bingyan sighed in her heart, she was definitely not the kind of person who would hate Guan Hualang, "What did Mingyue do? Did she quarrel with the senior brother?"

"In order to find out about Lu Qianyun, the eldest brother deliberately approached the people who served her. Lu Qianyun had a trusted heroine named Jin Daixian. That day, my brother and Jin Daixian were drinking tea in a restaurant. Jin Daixian's real character was not good, and she showed it to my brother, and was seen by Mingyue.

My brother had kept his approach to Jin Daixian a secret from her, and she felt that her brother was betraying her... so she ran into the restaurant and started a fuss, and chased after her brother and beat him up. Her brother's identity was exposed, and he was captured by Lu Qianyun's people, and he went through all kinds of torture..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help sobbing again, and his hatred for Mingyue deepened. "If it wasn't for her, how could brother be captured? Even if she is a princess who looks down on others, so what? She is like a piece of shit. Brother has worked so hard for her, not only does she not know how to bear the responsibility, but she also hurt brother like that. I don't know how brother could fall for such a person!"

Wei Bingyan didn't know where to start. She had no way to say anything good for Mingyue. Guan Hualang was now lying there with his life or death uncertain. If what Guan Mengxin said was true, even she would not be able to help but blame Mingyue.

But no matter what, we have to find Mingyue first. We can't leave her alone in Haoyue with nowhere to go.

"Abao has already asked people to look for him." Guan Mengxin shouted in an unpleasant tone after hearing Wei Bingyan's words.

"After all, Mingyue's identity is different from that of ordinary people. If people knew that she appeared in Haoyue with the eldest senior brother, it would drag down the entire Guanzhuang." Wei Bingyan said.

Guan Mengxin snorted, "It is because I know this that I sent people to look for her."

"So what should we do now? Senior Brother is badly injured. I heard from others that Emperor Haoyue is about to die. What is Second Brother going to do?" After getting rid of Mingyue's unpleasant words, Wei Bingyan asked about Wang Tianbao's preparations.

"Lu Qianyun's hands are too long. Almost the entire Haoyue is controlled by her and the National Master. The last time my brother came out of the magnificent palace, he said that Nangong Tianlin was imprisoned by Lu Qianyun... The ministers in the court have no idea what their emperor is like in the magnificent palace now." Guan Mengxin said.

Wei Bingyan frowned, "I guess not all the ministers in the court have been bribed by Lu Qianyun with benefits. If they knew the current situation of their monarch, they would definitely not listen to Lu Qianyun's manipulation."

"Even if we know clearly, so what? If we want to take down Lu Qianyun and the Imperial Master with all our strength, we not only need to rely on the ministers in the court, but also military forces..." Guan Mengxin sighed.

That's true. Without the military power and ministers in the Haoyue Dynasty attacking from both inside and outside, it would be impossible for Wang Tianbao to regain the coveted throne.

"If Third Senior Brother were here, he would definitely be able to think of a solution." Guan Mengxin said.

Wei Bingyan said: "Don't be discouraged, anyway we have to heal the eldest brother first, maybe we can wait for the third brother to come and join us."
