The Rebirth of the Prince: Starting from Not Being a Doglicker

Sima Yue walked silently to Su An's side and secretly looked at his profile. He felt a little guilty, but more touched.

Whenever he was wronged or encountered trouble, he would stand up.

Just like he made excuses for himself just now, he must have felt in his heart that he was here to have a private meeting with Lu Chuan, but he was still willing to speak up for himself.

Sima Yue took the initiative to hold Su An's arm. Su An looked at her and said nothing.

This scene was seen by the King and his wife of Runan. They looked at each other and smiled.

By the time everyone had finished touring the courtyards in the back garden, it was already noon.

Everyone had lunch at the palace. During the meal, Sima Yue sat next to Su An and sensibly picked up food for him, looking like a gentle and virtuous wife.

In the afternoon, the elder brother-in-law and Su An came to the study. They read some poems and classics, and discussed the elegant things related to poetry. The elder brother-in-law asked Su An under what circumstances he wrote the poem in the morning.

Su An made up a story about a trip with a friend he hadn't seen for a long time and tricked his brother-in-law into coming over.

Sima Yue sat quietly beside Su An, looking at him tenderly with her beautiful eyes and saying a few words from time to time.

At dusk, the sun was setting in the west, and Su An and Sima Yue set out on the road back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Sima Yue took the initiative to hold Su An's arm, and the two of them got on the carriage one after another.

Su An noticed the change in Sima Yue's attitude towards him, but he didn't care.

Starting tomorrow, Sima Yue will become the mascot of the Marquis' Mansion. She only has the status of a Crown Prince's Consort, but Su An will not give her any other rights as a Crown Prince's Consort except for food and clothing.

After a while, Su An can tell the King of Runan and his wife that she refused to sleep with him and about her affair with Lu Chuan, and then he can divorce her.

Inside the carriage, Su An leaned against the window and closed his eyes to rest.

Su An was thinking about what path to take in the future.

The first thing to consider is the turmoil in the southern border a few years later. That disaster swept across the entire southern border of Dajin, causing the fall of Marquis Shenwei and the loss of most of the power of Marquis Shenwei's mansion.

From then on, he and Su Wan could only flee the capital and embark on the road of exile, always on guard against being hunted down by the enemy.

First of all, one's own strength must not fall behind. While entering the palace to practice, one must also learn martial arts.

Secondly, try to win over as many helpers as possible. There are very few powerful and influential people who are on good terms with the Shenwei Marquis Mansion, and there is only one, the General of the Cavalry Mansion.

Marquis Shenwei had many enemies, so naturally no one dared to touch Marquis Shenwei's Mansion when he was alive. But after the death of Marquis Shenwei in the previous life, Su An and Su Wan immediately found themselves surrounded by enemies and isolated and helpless.

The Zhou family can try to win it. Lord Zhou is a veteran minister of two dynasties. He is highly respected and has a very high reputation both in the court and in the opposition. He is a rare good official who cares about the country and the people.

Grand Secretary Zhou was also known as a gentleman. He was the master of the arts of the Jin Dynasty and the one with the best reputation among the three grand secretaries.

The Zhou family is powerful, and the two people in charge have relatively good credibility and character, making them a good choice as teammates.

The key is that there is Zhou Qingyu. It is not realistic for Su An to win over Lord Zhou or Grand Secretary Zhou now, but if he can make friends with Zhou Qingyu, the effect will be similar.

It’s okay for a case like the Prince of Runan’s Mansion, but once the Shenwei Marquis’ Mansion loses power, the Princess of Runan will turn against them.

Then Su An planned to rely on his past life experiences and memories of some major events in the future to find opportunities to profit from them and try to see if he could intercept some treasures and opportunities.

Eventually, he would have to go to the southern border. Even if he couldn't stop the turmoil, he could at least reduce its impact on the Marquis' Mansion.

He actually didn't know much about the Rebellion in the Southern Territory. After all, he had not experienced it personally. The Rebellion in the Southern Territory was a riot of evil spirits and was related to the kings of the Soul Silence Mountains.

The Great Jin was founded on military power, had many brilliant generals, and was a powerful nation, making it the most powerful nation on the continent.

However, the geographical location of the Great Jin was not good. Since the time of the previous emperor, a situation of "all borders eyeing the Great Jin" had been formed. There was a powerful enemy, the Mongols, in the northern grasslands, a powerful Qi in the south, the Xishuo countries in the southwest, the Lancang Kingdom in the northwest, and the Hunji Mountains in the east.

These forces have long been eyeing Dajin, frequently blocking the pass and invading Dajin's borders.

The Soul-Silent Mountains is a relatively special force among these. It is located in the territory of Dajin and is not a force composed of humans, but rather evil creatures, including evil spirits, zombies, and other demons and monsters.

There are many peaks in the Soul Silence Mountains, and the rulers of them are called the Soul Silence Kings. The rebellion in the southern border was a riot caused by the joint efforts of Southern Qi and the Soul Silence Kings.

However, there seemed to be some deeper inside story behind this turmoil, such as the involvement of some powerful people in Dajin and even the royal family. In this regard, Su An had only heard some vague information in his previous life, and there were many different opinions.

The most urgent task now is to enter the academy to practice. He can rely on himself to learn martial arts, but this is not the case for the art that emphasizes the inheritance of knowledge. Moreover, there is no powerful art practitioner in the Marquis' Mansion who can guide him.

Inside the carriage, Sima Yue looked a little confused. She wanted to explain what happened in the back garden, but she didn't know how to start, and she was worried about disturbing Su An.

If Su An could ask her proactively, she could explain it clearly. Even if he spoke harshly to her, Su An had been leaning against the window with his eyes closed since he got on the carriage, and had no intention of asking about the matter.

Sima Yue felt that he must be very angry, so angry that he didn't even want to talk to her in private. Sima Yue didn't want him to continue to misunderstand her.

Sima Yue hesitated for a long time, then called out softly, "Su An."

Su An's thoughts were interrupted. He frowned slightly, opened his eyes and looked at Sima Yue, and said in a flat voice: "What's the matter?"

His attitude was so cold... Sima Yue bit her lip, "I have something I want to explain to you."

Su An was a little confused, "What do you want to explain?"

"I didn't go to the back garden to have a private meeting with Lu Chuan just now. I don't want you to misunderstand." Sima Yue said.

"Oh." Su An said.

"Really, I didn't lie to you." Sima Yue thought he didn't believe her, so she said hastily. "I swear, I really didn't go to meet him privately."

Su An looked at her calmly.

"I just heard that Sima Yu and he had that kind of relationship, and I wanted to go and see if that's the case." Sima Yue said.

"So you still go find him." Su An had a strange look on his face. Is this fundamentally different from Sima Yue's private meeting with Lu Chuan? It seems not.

"You left your husband and parents behind on your birthday and ran to the back garden to look for your lover. I know you care about him very much, but isn't that a bit too much?"

"It's not like that..." Sima Yue was a little panicked.

She wanted to explain, but found that no matter what she said, the fact was that on such an important day, she took advantage of Su An's concern for her and escaped to find another man.

She wanted to tell Su An that she didn't like Lu Chuan, that she was deceived by Lu Chuan, and that he was the one she really had feelings for.

"I know you don't like me and you are not happy with this marriage, but don't worry, we will get divorced after a while, and then you can live together forever." Su An continued.

"But don't let me know that you are still in contact during this period."

"I don't want to divorce you. You misunderstood. I really don't like him." Sima Yue explained hurriedly.

"You were willing to die for him on our wedding night and refused to consummate the marriage with me. You told me that you didn't like him. Did you really think I was a fool?" Su An suspected that Sima Yue had a mental problem.

"He has been lying to me. I was bewitched by him, so I resisted you so much..." Sima Yue said bitterly. "I always thought I liked him, but today I saw through his true colors. He is a hypocritical villain."

"No, you're wrong."

Su An shook her head. "You can be a chaste woman for him, you can ask me for the Linglan in the tomb for him, and you are willing to give up the wealth and glory of the Crown Prince's Consort for him. This shows that you really love him."

After hearing these words, Sima Yue was completely panicked, her face turned pale as paper, she tightly grasped Su An's hand, and a mist appeared in her eyes.

That pitiful look did not move Su An's heart.

He put his hand on Sima Yue's shoulder and said seriously,

"You can do so much for him, I believe you can also ignore his fickleness and his affair with Sima Yu, because you truly love him."

Su An's heart-piercing words, every word, made Sima Yue feel like a knife cutting through his heart.

"Stop talking, Su An... please stop talking." Sima Yue begged, her delicate body trembling slightly.

"It's not what you think..."

The carriage slowly stopped and we arrived at the Marquis' Mansion.

Su An ignored her, pulled his hand away, got off the carriage, and entered the marquis's mansion.

Sima Yue stayed in the carriage for a long time without getting out.

Xiao He hurried forward to check, "Miss, are you okay?"

"Xiao He." Sima Yue's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was trembling. "I regret it. I shouldn't have treated him like that. I shouldn't have said those words to him..."

Although Xiao He didn't hear what they just said, she could roughly guess something.

If I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place... She could only sigh helplessly and stepped forward to support Sima Yue, "Miss, let's go to the mansion first."
