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

The deposed crown prince has already lost his power and status and is isolated and helpless in the court. How can he cause any trouble?

Baili Ye obviously doubted this.

"Because the Crown Princess unfortunately had a miscarriage, this was the last straw for the deposed Crown Prince. Since there was no way out, he would definitely go all out. If he succeeded, he would be able to regain the position of Crown Prince; even if he failed, it would not be a big deal to him."

Baili Ye's eyes flickered and were full of doubt.

"Song Xueying had a miscarriage?"

I didn't hear about this during the morning court today. Even though the deposed prince and his wife were imprisoned in the cold palace, the queen still took care of them privately. Such a big event should have spread throughout the palace and beyond.

However, Ye Yunzi was in the backyard, almost isolated from the outside world. How did she know this secret?

Baili Ye stared at Ye Yunzi closely.

She smiled and replied: "What if I say that I have the ability to predict the future?"

"Those who dare to deceive me will have a miserable end." Baili Ye smiled coldly, "It's worse than death."

"If this is a lie, I am willing to be punished, but if it is the truth, please use this in exchange for my life."

There was silence for a moment, and the air seemed to freeze.

The study was quiet, with only the breathing of the two people echoing in the air.

Ye Yunzi pretended to be calm, but she was nervous, not knowing whether the Fourth Prince would accept her proposal. She knew very well that if she could escape this time, she must leave here as soon as possible and never risk her life again.

After a long silence, Baili Ye finally let go of his hand and put his hands behind his back: "Okay, if this is true, I will spare your life for now."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ye Yunzi immediately handed over the account book she had just found, fearing that any hesitation would leave her without a chance.

Baili Ye glanced at him calmly and said, "Do you think I would hide something in such an obvious place?"

Ye Yunzi's face changed slightly, and then she said, "Your Highness is really smart. I almost got fooled by you." After that, she put the oil paper bag back in its place and closed the secret compartment.

"Then I'll take my leave first." She nodded slightly and quickly left the study.

After taking a few steps, she looked back towards the attic, a hint of deep thought flashing in her eyes.

The numbers in the account book just now made her realize that the Fourth Prince's ambition was far greater than she had imagined, and he was an extremely dangerous person.

Ye Yunzi was in a heavy mood. She did not stay any longer and went straight back to her room.

At this moment, Baili Ye's expression was unpredictable. He looked at his hands, wondering: He could have easily ended it all, why did he choose to let her go in the end?

She is just still useful and a good chess piece.

Not long after, news came from the palace that the deposed Crown Princess had a miscarriage. Upon learning this, Baili Ye did not show any surprise, but the confident look of Ye Yunzi emerged in his mind.

Could she really predict the future?

With doubts, Baili Ye found Ye Yunzi: "How did you know about this?"

Ye Yunzi responded calmly: "It was just a dream. My life should be safe now, right?"

Baili Ye stared at her beautiful face and said, "It's not over yet. Tell me what the deposed crown prince will do next."

In order to turn things around, the deposed prince must plan a big event. The most anticipated event in the palace recently is the upcoming stargazing ceremony that takes place every three years.

The emperor was superstitious about celestial phenomena and attached great importance to fortune, and even spent a huge amount of money to build an observatory.

In the dream, the deposed prince changed his fate by bribing the stargazer and briefly restored his status, but he soon died in an accident and the truth was exposed.

In Ye Yunzi's opinion, the Fourth Prince must be behind this.

Now with Shen Siyan's help, perhaps the deposed prince can escape this crisis. However, everything is still unknown.

Every three years, a grand stargazing ceremony is held in the palace. On this night, the emperor invites all the civil and military officials to watch the stars under the night sky and listen to the imperial master's predictions about the future.

It was a night with an unusually bright starry sky. The air was fresh and transparent, and the stars seemed even brighter than usual.

Carriages drove into the palace gate one after another, and officials got off and headed for the observatory on a high place. This platform was built with white stones and had a wide view, overlooking the brilliant lights of the capital.

On the observatory, the abbot of Xingxiu Temple, dressed in a white robe, sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and his hands clasped together, chanting scriptures softly. The elegant scent of incense wafted around him, making people feel peaceful.

Several princes had already arrived and were standing together waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Baili Yan secretly glanced at Baili Ye beside him, his brows furrowed, still worried about Ye Yunzi.

Baili Ye's expression was as calm as ever, his lowered eyes concealing his thoughts.

With the emperor's order, the stargazing ceremony officially began.

After the abbot washed his hands and burned incense, his disciples brought in a heavy hollow iron ball. The pattern on the ball corresponded perfectly to the stars in the sky, which was amazing.

The master of the temple sometimes looked up at the sky, sometimes stared at the iron ball, concentrating on interpreting the stars.

All eyes were on the master, because the emperor attached great importance to the result of this divination. If there was an ominous sign, not only would the royal family be worried, but the ministers would also be afraid that they would be implicated.

"Strange..." The master of the temple suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at the night sky.

"What's wrong?" the emperor asked with a frown.

The master of the temple seemed not to hear. He muttered to himself for a while, circled the iron ball several times, and finally knelt in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, a star that was already dim suddenly became exceptionally bright, bringing good luck to the entire starry sky."

"Dim stars?" The queen immediately thought of the deposed prince. Her eyes flickered as she looked at the silent emperor.

Civil and military officials also looked surprised and exchanged glances with each other.

The matter of deposing the crown prince has not been mentioned for many years. Does this sign now mean any changes?

The emperor asked: "What does this symbolize?"

The master of the temple replied, "The country is peaceful and the people are happy."

Even the dullest person can understand the meaning of Guanzhu's words.

Baili Yan was suspicious. Did the master of the temple really see such a scene, or did he have other intentions?

If anyone dares to falsify the horoscope, the consequences will be disastrous.

As he was deep in thought, he couldn't help but look at Baili Ye again.

Baili Ye's face was as calm as water.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Send the crown prince to see me."

When the queen heard this, her heart was overwhelmed and she almost cried. Her years of waiting and anticipation seemed to have finally brought a turning point.

The ministers exchanged glances with each other, it seemed that the prince was about to regain the throne.

The emperor had been reluctant to appoint a crown prince, perhaps because he was still worried.

The eunuch took the order and left, but soon he and a palace maid came back in a panic, but without the prince.

"Oh no, Your Majesty!" They both said at the same time, with horror on their faces.

When Qing Fei was mentioned, the emperor's brows immediately frowned, "What's going on?"
