Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

Shen Siyan glanced at Leng Xue coldly, causing her to shiver involuntarily.

"What's the situation?" Ye Yunzi asked, breaking the silence.

Leng Xue came back to her senses and quickly replied: "That man has been properly dealt with. There were no clues left in the tavern, and no one noticed when he disappeared."

"As expected..." Ye Yunzi frowned, feeling that things were not simple.

"But I heard that Deputy General Rong Mingxuan had been to that tavern."

"Rong Mingxuan?" Ye Yunzi blurted out, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Yes." Leng Xue responded calmly.

When the name was mentioned, the image of Rong Mingxuan emerged in Ye Yunzi's mind. She remembered his behavior in the Duke's Mansion and was deeply impressed. If he did it, then everything would be explained. With his ability, it would not be surprising if he handled it cleanly.

but……

As a deputy general, he had no grudge against the Thirteenth Princess, so why did he take action? Moreover, he always gave people the impression of being upright and resolute. Coming from the command of General Ronghe, he should not do anything that violates morality.

Is it just to protect Rong Wanling?

It seems that this needs further investigation.

Shen Siyan looked at Ye Yunzi, "Do you know him?"

"I guess we know each other. There were some unpleasant things last time at the Duke's Mansion. Do you know what kind of person Rong Mingxuan is?" Ye Yunzi recalled the previous information and didn't know much about Rong Mingxuan.

"The Duke's Mansion has always remained neutral and does not favor any prince. General Rong He is a strong-willed and loyal person and will never form an alliance with any prince. The head of the Rong family is very ambitious, and Rong Mingxuan is his son." Shen Siyan thought and said.

"Why did Rong Mingxuan go to the war with General Rong?" Ye Yunzi asked puzzledly.

Shen Siyan remained silent. He had no idea what had happened to the Rong family more than ten years ago.

This incident was very strange. Although Ye Yunzi was very concerned about the Thirteenth Princess's affairs, what was more urgent was the Seventh Prince's disaster relief operation, and there must be no mistakes in this matter.

Three days later, a large army set out, led by the seventh prince Baili Yan, who rode on a majestic horse, and accompanied by Lord Li from the Ministry of Revenue.

The team was impressive and was escorted by guards on both sides just in case.

The emperor was extremely concerned about this matter and gave almost all his support, entrusting the important task to the seventh prince.

"I will definitely live up to your expectations, father, and will complete the mission successfully and return." Baili Yan said firmly.

"Okay, okay." The emperor patted Baili Yan's shoulder with a serious and solemn expression.

Baili Yan had a serious look on his face. He glanced at the Fourth Prince, who had a calm look on his face, as if everything was under control. Their eyes met.

"Seventh brother, you must return safely." The fourth prince said with a smile.

"Of course." Baili Yan responded coldly.

As the city gates opened, the army led by Baili Yan slowly left the city and headed for Huaizhou. It was estimated that it would take seven days to arrive.

In a teahouse, an elegant woman watched the team, especially Baili Yan who was riding in the front, her eyes were full of worry.

"Seventh Prince, may you return safely." Ye Yunzi prayed in a low voice, with deep worry in her eyes.

Shen Siyan promised to follow the Seventh Prince's team in secret and provide assistance if any emergency occurred.

The team's momentum was solemn and determined; the people in the city came out to see them off, and the streets were crowded with people.

Leng Xue frowned and said, "Miss, there are so many people here, it's complicated, let's go back home early." Thinking of the kidnapping of the Thirteenth Princess not long ago, they could not take it lightly even in the capital.

Ye Yunzi nodded in agreement, "Let's go back."

Those who saw it have already seen it, and they can only rely on themselves from now on. Although she is in the capital, she cannot provide any practical help. The two of them calmly left the teahouse and returned to the Su Mansion.

At the same time, in the Yangxin Hall of the Imperial Palace, the palace maid gently lit the calming incense and placed it aside.

Concubine Wu said, "Your Majesty, this is a scent that can relax you. You have been too tired these days and you should have a good rest."

Concubine Wu had a smile on her face, and her eyes looked particularly moving under the flickering candlelight.

The emperor sat at a yellow pear rosewood table, reviewing memorials, with a tired look on his face.

He had been worried about the recent flood in the south. The flood was finally brought under control, but the people had lost their homes and fields and were living in poverty, which led to this disaster relief operation.

He rubbed his temple without looking up at Concubine Wu.

Concubine Wu felt the emperor's indifference and couldn't help but call out softly, "Your Majesty..."

The emperor's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at her calmly, then said: "You should leave first. I have no idea about disaster relief yet, and I am very upset."

Hearing the emperor's worried words, Concubine Wu's face darkened and she clenched her fingers in her sleeves.

Not long ago, His Majesty was chatting and laughing with Concubine Xian in the Plum Blossom Leaf Hall, but now he ignores her and is only worried about the Seventh Prince.

Concubine Wu looked unhappy, her mind was full of thoughts, but she forced herself to remain calm and smiled slightly: "Then I will not disturb Your Majesty."

She slowly left the Yangxin Palace. As soon as she left the palace, her expression immediately turned cold, and her eyes revealed deep dissatisfaction.

Concubine Xian and the Seventh Prince are obviously more favored by the Emperor. I wonder what means Concubine Xian used to regain His Majesty's favor and make him visit Lord Meihuaye frequently.

“It’s really annoying.”

After Concubine Wu returned to Fenghua Palace, she was furious and smashed the porcelain in the hall to pieces.

"Your Majesty!" The palace maids were so frightened when they saw this that they immediately knelt down.

Another porcelain flew over and hit a palace maid, and blood immediately flowed from her forehead. However, none of the palace maids dared to make a sound, and they could only kneel there trembling.

"Damn it." Concubine Wu cursed angrily.

The old nanny came hurriedly and was puzzled when she saw this scene. The imperial concubine brought special incense to the Yangxin Palace today, so why did she come back so soon and so irritable?

Concubine Wu was so angry that she was shaking all over. She waved her hand and asked everyone to leave. The palace maids were relieved and quickly left the hall, leaving only Concubine Wu and the old nanny.

"My lady, what happened?" the old nanny asked with concern.

Concubine Wu clenched her fists, and the scene of Concubine Xian and His Majesty being close in Lord Meihuaye emerged in her mind, and jealousy arose spontaneously.

"Empress Xian!" she said coldly, with a flash of determination in her eyes, "She must be dealt with as soon as possible."

"I originally thought she was not a concern, but I didn't expect that she would become a big problem after being indulged." After hearing this, the old nanny was silent.

Concubine Wu sneered: "Since I was able to make her fall into the cold palace before, this time, I will definitely make sure that she will never be able to turn over a new leaf."

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, after the emperor finished handling government affairs, he immersed himself in the faint scent of sandalwood. His body and mind gradually relaxed. The fatigue of recent days made him feel sleepy.
