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

The two looked at each other. There was no resentment on Concubine Xian's face. She just sat there calmly.

"Xian'er." The emperor broke the silence first. His voice was a little hoarse, and it seemed that he decided to come and meet after a long period of hesitation.

Empress Xian smiled slightly, her smile as warm as ever.

Xian'er, I'm sorry..." The emperor walked slowly towards Concubine Xian and gently held her hand. Her hand was cold, and it was obvious that she was cold in this cold palace and her thin clothes.

He gently pulled her up and held her in his arms. Concubine Xian did not struggle, but just leaned quietly on his chest, lowering her head, as if she was carrying too many heavy things on her mind.

"It's my fault that I failed to protect you." The emperor felt very guilty.

A complex emotion flashed in Concubine Xian's eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but she still said in that familiar and gentle voice: "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. It is indeed strange that crows are circling the Plum Blossom Palace. Perhaps it is really me who brought bad luck."

"Xian'er..." She gently pushed him away and raised her tearful face. Her eyes were deep and moving, making people feel pity. "I have suffered many setbacks, which is not worth mentioning, but the Seventh Prince is pure and innocent. I hope he can return safely to help with the disaster relief. Then I will feel at ease."

"Don't worry." The emperor looked at Concubine Xian, his heart aching. No matter what, she always put the overall situation first and never cared about her own safety. "Yan'er will definitely return safely. I will send elite soldiers to help him."

Empress Xian smiled slightly, her face was as pale as paper, and she looked even weaker. "Your Majesty, please cultivate the Seventh Prince. He is steady and reliable."

"Hmm." The emperor sighed, and after hearing this, he felt only bitterness in his heart. He knew that he was powerless to save Concubine Xian's fate; and Concubine Xian also knew that the situation was serious and could not be reversed, so she could only strive for more opportunities for her son at the last moment.

At this time, news came from outside the palace that the ministers were preparing to severely punish the unlucky person who "attracted crows". This news soon reached Ye Yunzi's ears.

"As expected." She frowned, full of anxiety, "This is aimed at Concubine Xian."

"Someone intends to get rid of Concubine Xian, and is determined to do so, so they are creating all kinds of trouble. If we don't take action to rescue her soon, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until the day when the Seventh Prince returns." Ye Yunzi looked solemn and clenched her fists secretly.

The mastermind behind this wanted to take this opportunity to force the emperor to resolve the matter quickly, lest the situation change after the Seventh Prince's return, making the plan difficult to implement.

"What should I do next?" She fell into deep thought.

Ye Yunzi whispered to herself. Ever since the day Su Mei came to her for help, she had been thinking about it day and night, but she could not find a good way to delay time.

"If it were Shen Siyan, how would he respond?" She muttered to herself, and the tall and determined figure of Shen Siyan appeared in her mind. Her eyes involuntarily lowered, and her eyes revealed deep thought.

In Fenghua Palace, Concubine Wu lazily leaned on the chaise longue, her eyes closed, her brows revealing a calm and elegant expression. At this time, an old nanny quietly entered and signaled the maids beside her to leave.

After everything around them quieted down, the old nanny leaned close to Concubine Wu and whispered a few words in her ear.

After hearing the news, Concubine Wu slowly opened her eyes, with a hint of sneer on her lips: "It seems that Concubine Xian can't escape this time. The crow brought misfortune, she is destined to be a disaster."

Long before this incident happened, Concubine Wu had already plotted everything with her family: as long as Concubine Xian was labeled with an ominous name, she could be easily eliminated.

Sure enough, the plan went smoothly, and many ministers were instructed by the Wu family to give advice to the emperor, forcing the emperor to make a decision.

"Even if the gods descended, they couldn't change this." A trace of determination flashed in Concubine Wu's eyes. Anyone who hindered her son's future must be eliminated.

Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door.

A pale-faced palace maid hurried in and reported: "My Lady, there is an emergency in the Golden Throne Hall."

Concubine Wu frowned slightly, "What emergency?"

……

"Your Majesty, a large number of crows have appeared in many places in the capital. They are circling over the residence of the Minister of Revenue, Lord Zhao."

"Even the Shangshu Mansion was not spared."

As the guards continued to report, the atmosphere in the court became extremely tense.

Especially those old ministers who had close ties with the Wu family seemed anxious and uneasy. This sudden strange phenomenon was obviously not just aimed at Concubine Xian.

Faced with this scene, the emperor felt extremely complicated. He was glad that the issue of Concubine Xian would be resolved soon, but he was also worried about the sudden ominous signs in the capital.

"What exactly is going on?"

"How come so many crows suddenly appeared?" People in the court were talking about it and were in panic.

Baili Ye sensed the secret that might be hidden behind the matter. He glanced at the old ministers of the Wu family, then his expression turned cold and he had some thoughts in his mind.

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Continue to investigate this matter."

"Yes, sir." After receiving the order, the guard quickly dispatched people to various places in the capital to investigate the strange phenomenon of flocks of crows.

The emperor felt dizzy and had a splitting headache.

When the morning court ended, no one mentioned the crows circling over Empress Xian's palace, because the entire capital was now shrouded in these ominous birds.

The old minister of the Wu family had a gloomy face. He wanted to take this opportunity to overthrow Empress Xian, but unexpectedly the situation became complicated.

Baili Ye followed closely behind, and the two stopped and made eye contact.

After a moment, the old minister sighed and said, "I thought I could help you with this matter."

Ye Er looked calmly at the gray sky and said coldly, "There is someone else behind this."

"Who is it? What other forces are behind Empress Xian?" The old minister frowned. The phenomenon of crows all over the city was simply unbelievable. Unless the gods came, who could control such a scene?

Ye'er's expression became even colder and he did not answer.

Empress Xian was released from Qingxin Palace, and the crows over her palace were no longer noticeable.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the strange phenomena occurring in the capital, and no one cared about the fate of a concubine who had fallen out of favor.

"Your Majesty." Su Mei was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears. She had thought that she would never see Concubine Xian return safely.

Empress Xian looked pale and weak, but when she finally walked out of the gate of Qingxin Palace, the burden in her heart seemed to be relieved a little. She swayed slightly, and Su Mei hurried forward to support her.

"My lady, are you okay? Would you like to ask the imperial physician to come and see you?"

"No need." Empress Xian replied softly. Although her heart was in turmoil, she knew that if it hadn't been for Ye Yunzi's help, she would have been in despair long ago.

"Let me take you back to the Plum Blossom Palace."

With Su Mei's help, Concubine Xian returned to her residence and asked her to thank Ye Yunzi and find out how she resolved the crisis.

After all, being able to make crows fly all over the city is not something that ordinary people can do.
