After the noble lady was reborn, the whole mansion begged her for forgiveness

The night was as dark as ink, deep and vast, swallowing up the last ray of sunset in the sky.

Qi Qiyuan lay quietly on his back on the quaint couch, his whole body surrounded by a layer of faint warmth that seemed to flow slowly from his body. This warmth, like a sudden downpour in a long-dry land, quietly revived the fire of his life after being dormant.

He tilted his head and looked through the window lattice to the boundless night sky. The silver light was like a silk thread, and the stars were twinkling. It seemed like nature's most exquisite tapestry, spreading across the lake of his heart, bringing unprecedented tranquility and relief.

In this tranquility, Qi Qiyuan's thoughts couldn't help but drift to the woman who silently dedicated herself and always accompanied him - Qin Suling.

His heart was filled with gratitude and tenderness, knowing that behind this transformation was her endless dedication and persistence.

At the same time, in Qin Suling's boudoir, the flickering candlelight illuminated her gentle face.

She also gazed through the window pane at the vast sea of ​​stars, her eyes flickering with peace and longing.

She believed that as long as the two of them had a mutual understanding and held hands, they could overcome all the storms in the world and move towards the future together.

As the days passed, Qi Qiyuan's health condition gradually improved. Qin Suling's careful care was like the warm spring sun, warm and lasting.

The ups and downs they experienced together made their emotions stronger, just like an old tree blooming with more gorgeous flowers in spring.

However, fate always seems to play tricks on lovers. Just when everything seems to be on the right track, the secret of the jade pendant of Northern Yan State quietly surfaces like an undercurrent, casting a shadow on their future.

Faced with new challenges and crises, Qin Suling is no longer the woman who would choose to escape.

There was determination and courage in her eyes, and she vowed to fight side by side with Qi Qiyuan and embark on this unknown journey together.

A few days later, a ray of morning light penetrated the clouds and gently sprinkled into Qi Qiyuan's residence, illuminating the carefully arranged desks in the room and reflecting the warm picture of the two people leaning on each other.

Although Qi Qiyuan's face was still pale, his once dim eyes had regained their former brilliance. He whispered to Qin Suling, talking about trivial matters in the mansion and the upcoming Spring Festival, and his words revealed his expectations and plans for the future.

"Su Ling, I heard that the emperor may have an important announcement to make during this year's Spring Festival. This matter may be closely related to the situation on the border."

There was a hint of depth and worry in Qi Qiyuan's words, and it was obvious that he was secretly calculating in his mind.

Qin Suling nodded slightly when she heard this. A trace of worry flashed across her eyes, but was immediately replaced by determination.

"No matter how rough the road ahead is, we must go through it together. Just focus on taking care of your body, and I will protect you from the storms in the outside world."

As night falls and the moonlight shines brightly, Qin Suling changes into a tight night outfit. Her figure is light and graceful, like an elf in the night.

She left Qi Qiyuan's residence quietly, her heart full of determination and courage.

She knew that in order to uncover the secret behind the jade pendant of Northern Yan, she had to go deep into the tiger's den and collect key information hidden in the dark.

The streets of the capital are intricate and complex, like a maze. With his extraordinary wisdom and courage, Qin Suling shuttled freely in the night, cleverly avoided the patrolling guards, and finally arrived at a seemingly ordinary teahouse.

This is where she learned from an old friend that news from the capital is gathered. On the surface, it seems bustling and lively, but in fact, undercurrents are surging and various forces converge here.

Inside the teahouse, there was a bustling bustle of voices, with people of all kinds either whispering or laughing, creating a vivid picture of life in the market.

Qin Suling chose a secluded corner to sit down and quietly observe everything around him.

Her eyes are as sharp as an eagle and she doesn't miss any details.

Soon, an old man in a green robe and with a thin face slowly walked towards her. He was the key person she was looking for on this trip - the "know-it-all" in the capital.

The old man's low voice carried a power that could penetrate people's hearts. His sharp eyes stayed on Qin Suling for a moment, as if he had seen through the purpose of her visit.

"Young lady, you are visiting me late at night. Do you have something urgent to ask for?"

The old man's words revealed some inquiry and curiosity.

Qin Suling smiled slightly and nodded, and a battle between secrets and truth quietly began.

Qin Suling's lips were outlined with an elegant yet firm smile, like a spring breeze, but it also contained a power that should not be underestimated.

She slowly took out a crystal clear, exquisitely crafted jade pendant from her sleeve, touched its warmth with her fingertips, and then gently placed it on the table, making an almost inaudible crisp sound.

"I have something urgent to ask you, old gentleman, about the whole truth behind this jade pendant."

Her voice was gentle but resolute, and her eyes sparkled with curiosity and determination.

The old man's eyes swept across the jade pendant, and in an instant, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he was touched by some ancient and mysterious power.

He leaned forward and looked at it carefully. His fingers, which were covered with traces of time, gently stroked every inch of the jade pendant, as if he was having a conversation with time.

After a moment, he slowly raised his head, his face as solemn as winter frost, and said in a deep voice: "This jade pendant is extraordinary. It comes from the depths of the Xiliang royal family. What is hidden inside is a major secret that can subvert the world and rewrite history. Girl, you have stepped into the abyss with this step. Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

Although Qin Suling's heart was in turmoil, his face was as calm as still water. In his clear eyes, there was only determination and fearlessness.

"I already knew that this journey would be difficult and dangerous, but for the sake of my loved ones and for the tranquility and peace of this land, I had no choice but to move forward courageously."

The old man nodded slightly when he heard this, and a hint of imperceptible approval flashed in his eyes that had seen through many vicissitudes of life.

He lowered his voice, as if afraid of disturbing the dust in the air, and poured everything he knew slowly into Qin Suling's heart like a trickle of water.

It turns out that this jade pendant is not only the key to the fate of the Northern Yan Kingdom, but also a talisman for the peace of the Central Plains. The various unusual movements that have occurred in the capital recently are all harbingers of the undercurrents behind it.

The night was as dark as ink, deep and gloomy. When Qin Suling returned to Qi Qiyuan's residence in the moonlight, loaded with heavy information, a glimmer of morning light had quietly appeared on the horizon, heralding that a new day was about to begin.

She knew very well that the road ahead would be full of thorns and unknowns, but her heart was filled with unprecedented determination and hope.

After Qi Qiyuan learned about this, he held Qin Suling's hand tightly, with gratitude and determination in his eyes.

"Su Ling, you are not only my beloved wife, but also a warrior who fights alongside me. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, I swear to walk with you and weather the storm together."

Two hearts, tightly attached to each other in this corner of the capital, seemed as if everything in the world had stopped, only their heartbeats, echoing in the silent night sky.

They began to make intensive preparations to meet the coming storms and challenges.

As they explored the secret of the jade pendant in depth, Qi Qiyuan and Qin Suling gradually realized that an undercurrent had quietly spread to every corner of the capital, and even posed an unprecedented threat to the stability of imperial power.

The covert activities of unknown forces became more rampant, split cracks appeared within the court, and the air was filled with a depressing feeling of impending storm.

One night, when Qi Qiyuan was plotting countermeasures with several of his confidants, a rapid and hurried sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out outside the mansion, followed by a deafening knock on the door, like the beating of a war drum, foreshadowing the arrival of chaos.

Qi Qiyuan's heart was filled with alarm, and he quickly put on his armor, holding a sword, and rushed to the gate with Qin Suling.

Outside the door, several guards covered in dust and looking terrified reported breathlessly, "General, something terrible has happened! Something unexpected has happened in the imperial city, the rebels are making a fuss and are madly approaching the palace!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Qiyuan's brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river shape), and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

He knew that the situation was urgent and that action must be taken immediately.

He turned to Qin Suling and said, "Su Ling, quickly contact the loyal ministers and generals in the court, gather the troops, and prepare to meet the enemy. I will deploy defenses here to ensure the safety of the mansion in case the rebels take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack."

Qin Suling nodded in agreement, with a determined light in his eyes.

She knew very well that although she was not a military general, she could still play her role at this critical moment.

She acted quickly, and with her wisdom and courage, she shuttled through the streets and alleys of the capital, like a ray of light in the dark night, illuminating the way forward.

After receiving her message, those trustworthy officials and generals responded to the call, quickly gathered troops, and prepared to fight a decisive battle with the rebels.

Qi Qiyuan personally led the elite troops in the mansion and set up an iron wall of defense around the mansion.

He led the troops and stood in front of the formation, sword in hand. His majestic figure became a stabilizing force in everyone's hearts.

In this turbulent time, they rely on each other and work together to protect the tranquility and peace of this land.
