Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 187 Meeting with Emperor Beiyan

On this sunny day, Su Yue and He Bijun went out shopping together. They strolled along the bustling streets, feeling the lively atmosphere. Su Yue curiously observed the people and things around her, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "It turns out that there were not many entertainment programs for women in ancient times!" She found that these women either attended various banquets, went outings in the suburbs, or went shopping like now.

"It seems that there is not much difference between ancient and modern times. Shopping is really the same as it has remained unchanged since ancient times!" Su Yue said to He Bijun with a smile.

Just when the two of them were about to go back after strolling around, suddenly, a guard dressed in Beiyan clothing appeared in front of them and stopped Su Yue. His face was serious and his eyes were sharp, which made Su Yue's heart tighten.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping me?" Su Yue asked the other party warily.

The guard bowed slightly and said, "Miss, our master wants to see you, please follow me." After that, he turned and walked towards an alley.

Su Yue and He Bijun looked at each other, full of doubts, but decided to follow the guards to take a look. After all, it was a bit strange to meet someone from Beiyan here.

They walked along the alley and came to a quiet teahouse. The guard pushed open the door and motioned Su Yue to go in. In the room, there was a man sitting. He was dressed in gorgeous Beiyan clothes, with an elegant temperament and deep eyes. Seeing Su Yue coming in, he smiled slightly and stood up to greet her.

"Princess Mingyue, how are you?" the man said softly. Su Yue frowned, and a trace of doubt and vigilance surged in her heart. She thought that the emperor of Beiyan would see her after a while, but now he summoned her so quickly. This made her feel a little surprised and uneasy.

Su Yue waved to Taozi, Bijun and others, signaling them to wait outside the door, while she stayed alone in the room, and then gently closed the door. She walked to the front of Emperor Beiyan and sat down, looking at him firmly, as if she wanted to see some clues from his face.

Su Yue looked up at the man in front of her. He was wearing a gorgeous dragon robe and had a handsome and majestic face. His eyes revealed a deep and mysterious aura that was hard to fathom. Su Yue took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner tension, and then smiled and responded: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am doing well. I wonder what important matter Your Majesty summoned me to discuss today?"

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "Princess Mingyue, I came to Da'an this time to discuss the affairs between Beiyan and Da'an. I am quite interested in your country and would like to hear more about it."

Su Yue's heart tightened. She knew that this negotiation was of vital importance to Nanchu. If it failed, it would have a huge impact on the country. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I am here for the sake of the good of our two countries. Nowadays, the situation in the world is unpredictable. As great powers, Da'an and Beiyan should work together to jointly respond to external challenges. We hope to reach some mutually beneficial and win-win agreements through friendly negotiations to promote the prosperity and development of our two countries."

Emperor Beiyan smiled and nodded, indicating his approval of Su Yue's point of view. He then asked: "So, Princess Mingyue, where do you think we should start?"

Su Yue frowned slightly and replied with a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "I am just an ordinary little woman, how can I understand these national affairs! I only care about whether I can eat well, wear warm clothes, and live a prosperous life. How can I have such a big sentiment to consider international livelihood issues?"

Emperor Beiyan looked at her, a smile flashed in his eyes, and said: "But what you just said is not a good suggestion?"

Su Yue's eyes widened, and she asked in confusion: "Then why don't you go to the emperor of Da'an or the officials of the Honglu Temple to discuss these things? Why did you come to me? I am simple-minded and can't understand those roundabout words."

Emperor Beiyan sighed softly, looked deeply at Su Yue, and asked softly: "Do you dislike me very much?"

Su Yue answered without hesitation: "Why should a little woman like you? You can be my father, so why should I still like you?"

The Emperor of Beiyan was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly and shook his head, explaining: "That's not what I meant. In fact, I could be your father, right?"

Su Yue: "You also said it could be, then it could also be not." Emperor of Beiyan: "Su Dali is just a eunuch around your mother, he can't be your biological father." Su Yue: "So what, he has been my father since I can remember. And I don't know who you are at all." Emperor of Beiyan: "There may be some misunderstandings between your mother and me, but it's my fault that I haven't been able to take care of you all these years."

Hearing what the Emperor of Beiyan said, Su Yue sneered in her heart. Misunderstanding? Haha, what a ridiculous excuse! For so many years, the mother and daughter have suffered outside, but he has never shown up. Now he says there is a misunderstanding? It's ridiculous!

Su Yue's eyes flashed with disdain, and she said in a cold tone: "Misunderstanding? Do you think we will believe it? Over the years, we have gone through so much hardship, have you ever cared about it? Now you say there is a misunderstanding, don't you think it's too late?"

The Emperor of Beiyan was speechless after hearing Su Yue's words, and his face turned very ugly. He knew that his explanation could not move Su Yue's heart, so he could only sigh helplessly and said, "Well, no matter what, I am your father, and this will never change. I hope I can make it up to you in the future."

Su Yue looked at the Emperor of Beiyan, without any emotion in her heart. She knew very well that this man was hypocritical and ruthless, and she had long since given up hope for such a man. She said coldly, "No need, we don't need your compensation. From now on, we will go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other." After that, she turned and left, leaving the Emperor of Beiyan standing alone, deep in thought.

After Su Yue returned to the Princess's Mansion, she sat on the couch and fell into deep thought, recalling the words that the Emperor of Beiyan said when he saw her. Why did an emperor condescend to come to Da'an just to see her? Was it out of guilt, love, or family affection? This possibility exists, but it is not very likely. So, what do they really want? Is it really just the Iron Eagle Guard? And what is so special about this Iron Eagle Guard that other elite dark guards cannot compare with it?

Su Yue was secretly confused. She was not sure whether the Iron Eagle Guard would obey her orders. Although she had some clues about the Iron Eagle Guard, she did not know whether they would obey her orders. More importantly, she did not know what kind of instructions Princess Ming Zhao had given to the Iron Eagle Guard, and what Princess Ming Zhao's purpose was.

Since Su Yue is not from this era and lacks a deep understanding and emotional resonance of that era, it is difficult for her to understand Princess Ming Zhao's motives and sense of mission. She can only rely on her own wisdom and insight to explore the truth and try to protect her own safety.
