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

He had been appointed as the crown prince and had a bright future, but an unexpected incident changed everything.

Now she only hopes that Lin'er can leave the confined cold palace as soon as possible and regain his freedom.

Concubine Wu raised her lips slightly, and said with confidence: "Sister, don't worry. The emperor still cares about the Second Prince. Otherwise, after so many years, he would have chosen someone else as the crown prince."

The queen gripped the armrests of the chair tightly, her nails almost digging into the wood, her face was livid, and she could hardly hide her inner anger.

Although the two men looked towards the forest behind the hunting ground, their minds had already flown elsewhere.

……

In a corner of the camp, Ye Yunzi slowly sat up, drank the porridge in the bowl, and her cold body gradually warmed up.

"Miss, it's time to take your medicine." Yu Shu came in with a bowl of bitter medicine, and Ye Yunzi frowned involuntarily.

"I know this medicine is very bitter, but for your health, please be patient. Doctor Tao said that if you don't take it on time, it may leave sequelae!"

Taking the bowl of medicine, Ye Yunzi held her breath and swallowed the medicine in one breath.

"Okay, take it away." She waved her hand.

Seeing that the young lady had drunk all the medicine, Yu Shu nodded with satisfaction and walked out.

Ye Yunzi was just about to lie down to rest. Although her high fever had subsided, she still felt pain all over her body, especially her feet, which were severely injured and she was temporarily unable to walk.

An inadvertent movement pulled the wound, causing her to gasp.

The curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted. Ye Yunzi thought it was Yu Shu who came back, so she looked up and saw that it was the pale and thin Wang Jinyin, who was staggering towards her with the support of a maid.

"Wang Jinyin..." Ye Yunzi was surprised, and then she remembered the scene of the two of them escaping into the forest together last night, and she forgot about it for a moment.

Wang Jinyin slowly approached, looked at Ye Yunzi with complicated eyes, and then noticed her thickly bandaged feet.

"Ms. Ye, thank you so much for yesterday." Wang Jinyin's voice was hoarse and her eyes were filled with tears.

She asked the maid to put down the package in her hand, "Here are the best wound medicine, frostbite ointment and some cold-resistant herbs..."

Ye Yunzi said a little embarrassedly: "You are too polite. Actually, what happened last night was all because of me. I implicated you. I'm glad you are okay."

"After hearing that, I sent people to investigate." Wang Jinyin said angrily.

"Ms. Wang," Ye Yunzi said after thinking for a moment, "I think you should know the truth about what happened last night."

When Ye Yunzi finished telling what happened yesterday, Wang Jinyin opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"You mean... Rong Wanling deliberately wants to hurt you because she has a grudge against you?"

"That's right." Ye Yunzi nodded slightly.

Originally, she just wanted to live in peace, but she didn't expect Rong Wanling to press on step by step, and her methods became increasingly vicious.

"I'm so sorry, this is all because of me. I will apologize to you when I recover." Before she finished speaking, Wang Jinyin had already held her hand tightly.

"How can you be blamed for this? Rong Wanling went too far. She relied on her status as a young lady from the Duke's Mansion to bully you and almost ruined your reputation." Wang Jinyin said with concern.

"We can't just let this go. We must hold her accountable for this," Wang Jinyin said firmly.

"She won't admit her mistakes." Ye Yunzi shook her head helplessly.

If you confront Rong Wanling directly, you will only suffer.

After hearing what was said, Wang Jinyin gradually calmed down and realized that direct confrontation might backfire. Not only would she not get justice, but it might also damage the reputation of both of them.

"I never thought that she would be such a person..." Recalling what happened before, Wang Jinyin suddenly realized that everything Rong Wanling planned was to suppress Ye Yunzi and use her as a tool.

"We are the only ones who know about this matter. Please keep it confidential." Ye Yunzi said seriously.

Wang Jinyin nodded solemnly. There was silence between the two for a while, until Ye Yunzi coughed lightly to remind her, Wang Jinyin realized that their hands were still tightly clasped, and quickly let go awkwardly.

There was a subtle atmosphere in the air. Ye Yunzi noticed that Wang Jinyin seemed to have become a different person, but she couldn't tell exactly what was different.

Wang Jinyin felt a panic in her heart, and her eyes inadvertently fell on Ye Yunzi's injured foot.

"I'm fine. The doctor said I'll be able to walk in a few days."

"Remember to use this golden wound medicine." Wang Jinyin stood up quickly and said, "Then I'll take my leave first and won't disturb your rest."

Yu Shu happened to come back at this time. "Yu Shu, send Miss Wang out."

After Wang Jinyin left, Yu Shu returned to the tent, her face full of confusion: "Why is the young lady from the Ningbo Marquis's Mansion suddenly concerned about you? We were arguing when we met at the Embroidery Shop a few days ago."

"Don't ask so many questions, just clean up the place first." Ye Yunzi replied calmly.

Yu Shu's eyes fell on the package on the table. She untied the knot curiously and found that it was filled with precious medicinal materials: century-old ginseng, special ointment made by the palace, and the snow muscle cream that can make the skin as smooth as snow... Each one is priceless.

"Wow, they are all top-quality medicinal herbs!" Yu Shu exclaimed.

Ye Yunzi smiled slightly and said softly, "Put them away carefully."

Wang Jinyin hurried back, thinking only of going back quickly, until the wound on her foot was pulled and stung, and she came to her senses, "Ouch..."

The accompanying maid quickly reminded: "Miss, please walk slowly, your foot is not healed yet!"

Then he asked with concern: "Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever? We must ask the imperial physician to come and have a look."

Wang Jinyin stopped and turned around to ask calmly, "Do you know where the other young ladies are now?"

"Today they all went to the enclosure to watch the hunting. Only you and Miss Ye were unable to join because you were not feeling well." The maid replied, "Oh, and the young lady from the Duke's Mansion was also not feeling well, so she did not go."

When Rong Wanling's name was mentioned, a hint of obvious displeasure flashed in Wang Jinyin's eyes.

Rong Wanling sat alone in the tent, her eyes fixed on the incense burner in front of her. The scene of seeing Tao Hong's cold body in the morning kept appearing in her mind, with her pale face and wide eyes.

Suddenly a cold wind blew into the tent, dispersing the wisps of green smoke rising from the incense burner.

Rong Wanling looked up at her pale face reflected in the bronze mirror in front of her and couldn't help but scream in fear. Her hand shook and the mirror broke into pieces.

Just now, something seemed to flash in the mirror.

She turned around suddenly and looked around, only to find that there was no one else in the empty tent except herself.

An inexplicable fear surrounded her, as if a pair of eyes were staring at her in the darkness.

She quickly jumped onto the bed, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.
