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

"Okay." The emperor nodded, his eyes lingering on his son for a moment.

Afterwards, the emperor on horseback led the team to set off, with the Fourth Prince following closely beside him. The surrounding area was filled with guards who were on high alert, and the protection was extremely tight.

The concubines could only stay in the stands and wait, feeling uneasy.

The queen watched the departing team quietly, and her eyes finally fixed on the emperor in front of her, and her face suddenly changed.

Below, a palace maid looked very anxious. She stamped her feet and hurried forward.

"The Queen..."

The Queen looked up and asked, "What's the hurry?"

The maid hesitated for a moment, approached the queen, and whispered something in her ear.

Hearing this, the queen's pupils shrank suddenly, "Are you telling the truth?"

This sentence immediately attracted the attention of the people around. Everyone looked at the queen curiously, wanting to know what had happened that shocked her so much.

The maid nodded slightly to show that she understood.

The queen stood up suddenly, but staggered because of her weakness. Fortunately, the palace maid supported her in time and prevented her from falling.

The Queen's voice trembled slightly: "I don't feel well, I'll go back first..."

Afterwards, supported by the palace maids, the two hurried away, their steps seeming a little flustered.

The Queen's expression was clearly not right, and any bystander could tell that something was not right.

After watching the queen leave, Concubine Wu waved her hand and called her personal maid: "Go and find out what happened."

"Yes, sir." The personal maid quickly followed the queen's footsteps.

Soon, she came back and reported, "My Lady, something has indeed happened to the Queen. The Crown Princess disappeared while taking a walk in the woods this morning and has not been found yet. The Queen has sent the Royal Guards to search everywhere."

Upon hearing this news, Concubine Wu raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Got it, you can leave now."

Her reaction made the concubines around her look at each other in bewilderment, each with their own ulterior motives.

Although the crown prince had been deposed for several years, the position of the new crown prince had not yet been established. People in the court and the public speculated that the emperor might intend to reinstate the crown prince.

The news of the Crown Princess' disappearance at this time undoubtedly made the situation more serious.

On the other side, in a hidden tent, the Queen's mood was completely different from before, and she seemed exceptionally calm. "Have you arranged the matter of Xuelu?"

"Everything is ready," the maid replied.

"Very good." The Queen's eyes flashed with determination. "All these years of waiting have finally paid off. Xueying's pregnancy is a good sign. As long as Xuelu can bring her back safely, it will be a blessing from heaven, enough to convince the Emperor to restore my son's status..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, "My child will no longer be trapped in the cold palace..."

The personal maid at the side consoled them, "I believe the Crown Prince and Crown Princess will soon regain the honor they deserve."

At the same time, in the deep mountains and forests, a group of knights were advancing cautiously, paying close attention to their surroundings and protecting the important people traveling with them from attacks by wild animals.

Baili Ye rode in front on horseback, looking into the distance.

Suddenly, a hurried shout broke the silence: "Father!"

Seeing something moving in the grass, the emperor immediately became alert, pulled out an arrow from behind, and shot at the target in an instant.

"Father, what a great archery skill!" With an exclamation of praise, the bow and arrow hit the target accurately.

The guard then stepped into the bushes and soon returned carrying a gray rabbit.

"Your Majesty, it's a hare!" the guard presented the prey.

"Hahaha..." The emperor's laughter echoed in the woods, and he was in a very good mood.

He hadn't hunted for a long time, but his skills were still superb. "Good, let's go deeper."

Everyone moved forward with great interest, hoping to meet the legendary snow deer.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise in the grass.

A guard immediately warned: "Your Majesty, there is movement over there!"

The emperor quickly pulled the bowstring to its full length and shot an arrow. However, what appeared from the bushes was a piece of linen clothing. The guard's face suddenly changed, "That's not a rabbit, that's..."

Before he could finish his words, the arrow had already pierced through the bushes and hit the target.

Everyone around was shocked. They saw a woman lying in the grass, with an arrow piercing her heart and her clothes stained with blood.

"Oh no, it's a girl!" the guard said anxiously.

"What's going on? This forest should be blocked off. How could someone break in?" The emperor looked gloomy.

The guard leader reported nervously: "Your Majesty, it seems that we have hurt someone."

The emperor frowned, his eyes fixed on the woman.

The guards gently lifted the woman up. She was wearing a coarse linen dress, her hair was as black as night, and her veil slipped down, revealing her face.

At that moment, the emperor was so shocked that he trembled all over.

"Rong'er..." he called softly.

"Your Majesty, do you want to ask the imperial physician to come?" the guard leader asked, but the emperor seemed not to hear him. All he could see was the injured woman. Her face was pale and her chest was covered in blood.

"Rong'er..." calling again, the emperor jumped off his horse and rushed towards the woman.

"Your Majesty, please be careful!" The commander of the guards hurriedly ordered the imperial guards to protect the emperor. Even if the other party was just an unarmed woman, they should not take it lightly.

The woman opened her eyes slightly, sweat beads oozed from her forehead, and her eyes were blurry. She looked at the figure approaching her and said weakly: "It hurts..."

Her eyes were deep and weak, and the fire of life seemed like it could go out at any time.

The emperor's heart seemed to be twisted fiercely. He stretched out his hand in disbelief, "Rong'er, Rong'er..." He rushed forward, hugged the woman tightly in his arms, and gently stroked her cheek, "Rong'er!"

The woman opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but blood gushed out from the corners of her mouth. She couldn't utter a word and then lost consciousness.

Memories of the past came flooding back, and the face of the woman in front of him gradually overlapped with the appearance of Rong Fei. The emperor's eyes suddenly shrank, and his heart was filled with fear and reluctance, "Rong Er... don't leave me... I won't allow you to leave..."

"Hurry up and call the imperial physician. Where is the imperial physician?" The emperor's voice was obviously trembling.

"You must save her at all costs, otherwise you will all be buried with her." His order was as cold as ice.

The people around did not dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately sent someone to call the imperial physician.

"Rong'er..." The emperor blamed himself very much, "This is all my fault, Rong'er, I command you not to die and not to leave me again." He lowered his head and gazed at the woman in his arms, gently stroking her face.

Everyone present kept their distance and looked around nervously, fearing that any accidents might happen.

Baili Ye stood quietly aside, glanced at the woman, a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly regained his composure.

"Your Majesty, look!" an official suddenly exclaimed. Everyone looked in the direction he was looking and saw a white shadow running lightly towards them. It had soft fur and upright antlers. It was none other than the legendary snow deer.
