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

"Why are you here?" Baili Yue walked over angrily.

The guard immediately stepped forward to explain: "I'm so sorry, our horse suddenly lost control for some reason."

"Humph! If you hurt me, can you take responsibility?"

"your Highness?"

It was then that the Princess of Nanyue noticed the woman standing in front of her. Even though she was dressed simply, she could not conceal her noble temperament.

Baili Yue was also surprised by the other person's beauty: her skin was whiter than snow, and her eyes were as bright as amber in the sunlight. She was so beautiful that it was beyond words.

The Princess of Nanyue bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am so sorry to have caused you trouble."

"Your Highness, this matter is not simple." Shen Siyan said seriously.

Baili Yue recognized Shen Siyan, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

The Princess of Nanyue quietly remembered the name.

The officers and soldiers quickly cleaned up the scene and surrounded the carriage where the accident occurred.

"This is the Princess of Nanyue." Shen Siyan introduced.

Baili Yue asked in surprise: "Are you the Princess of Nanyue? How come you are here?"

The Princess of Nanyue smiled and replied: "I have always longed for the prosperity of the capital, but I didn't expect such an accident to happen on the way..." Recalling the scene just now, she was still frightened.

If that man hadn't rescued her in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"This horse has obviously been poisoned." Shen Siyan said as he examined the horse that had fallen to the ground.

Afterwards, everyone went to the palace to report to the emperor.

The emperor looked solemn and ordered: "Make sure to investigate this matter thoroughly and find out who is behind it!"

"Yes, sir." Shen Siyan responded firmly.

The emperor's gaze fell on Rong Mingxuan again, and he said in a deep voice: "Deputy General Rong, in the coming days, you will be responsible for protecting the safety of the Princess of Nanyue."

Rong Mingxuan bowed respectfully and agreed.

Princess Nanyue's eyes flashed with a gleam, and she stared at Shen Siyan intently, her heart full of admiration. This handsome young man was not only outstanding in appearance, but also a capable man beside the emperor.

"Princess An Ning, don't worry about the accident that happened today. I have prepared a mansion for you in the West Garden of the capital for you to live in while you are in Beijing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift." The Princess of Nanyue thanked politely.

The envoy then presented precious gifts from South Vietnam to symbolize the friendly relations between the two countries.

The princess was safely escorted to the West Garden, a beautifully decorated mansion with more than a dozen maids serving her. However, the princess' mind was elsewhere, and she curiously asked the maids about Shen Siyan's deeds.

"Lord Shen is young and promising, and is highly regarded by the emperor. Not long ago, he solved the flood in Liuzhou and made great military achievements!" said the palace maid proudly.

It is said that Shen Siyan is the most popular talent in the capital, and countless women admire him.

Hearing this, the Princess of Nanyue blinked slightly, "Who would be the ideal match for such an outstanding man? I'm afraid it would be difficult for the daughter of an ordinary family to match him."

"In fact, Lord Shen is already engaged." The maid replied softly.

The princess's expression suddenly changed, "He already has a fiancée?"

"Yes, it's a happy marriage with Miss Su." The maid nodded in confirmation.

"I see..." The princess was silent for a moment. She felt disappointed when she thought that such a perfect man already had someone. "What kind of person is that Miss Su?"

"I don't know the details about this." The maid lowered her head, looking a little restrained.

The princess felt heavy-hearted. Whenever she thought of the hero in her heart about to become someone else's husband, she felt sad.

The woman who could win his favor must be a noble and talented one.

At this moment, Baili Ye finished his investigation into the carriage incident, and after ensuring that Baili Yue was safe and sound, he left the palace and went to a teahouse in the capital.

Along the way, his eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something.

According to the information provided by Shen Yuming, the South Vietnamese delegation did not enter the capital via the conventional route, but chose a more hidden road.

Fortunately, when the carriage lost control, no harm was caused. Instead, someone came to the rescue at the critical moment and avoided a tragedy.

Although there are slight discrepancies in the details, Shen Yuming's information is generally credible.

Shen Yuming, who had been waiting in the teahouse early, saw the Fourth Prince coming and hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Baili Ye looked at Shen Yuming with a cold gaze, and an invisible pressure enveloped the surroundings.

Despite having the memories of two lives, Shen Yuming still couldn't help feeling fear when facing this prince, because he knew very well that the other party was ruthless.

"Your Highness, something has definitely changed today. Although I can foresee the future, if someone interferes, the outcome will be different."

Shen Yuming tried to stay calm and explained that he thought this was the only possible reason, just like if someone was warned in advance not to approach a dangerous place, then the misfortune that might have happened could have been avoided.

Today, it was supposed to be an ordinary pedestrian who was hit, but by some strange coincidence it was the Thirteenth Princess. If she hadn't been out of the palace for fun, everything wouldn't have been so turbulent.

There was silence in the private room, and cold sweat broke out on Shen Yuming's back.

Time seemed to stand still, and every second was tormenting.

Finally, a cold voice broke the silence: "Very good, since you are willing to follow me, I will not treat you unfairly."

Shen Yuming sighed with relief. As long as he could win the trust of the Fourth Prince, his future would be bright.

Assisting the Fourth Prince to ascend the throne, with wealth and glory within reach, he said firmly: "Your Highness, I will never forget your kindness, and I will do my best!"

"I'll leave Kong Ze to you." The fourth prince said calmly.

"Yes, sir." Kong Ze responded with a fist.

Shen Yuming understood that this was a form of surveillance on him, but he accepted it without hesitation to prove his loyalty.

Afterwards, Shen Yuming reported several important events in the court to the Fourth Prince. These were carefully selected by him. He knew that trust had to be established gradually and could not be rushed.

When asked if there were other people who could predict the future, Shen Yuming hesitated but quickly regained his composure: "There are many strange people and things in this world, and there may be people similar to me. But all I have seen are scenes of assisting Your Highness in achieving great things."

The Fourth Prince's expression became complicated. Afterwards, the guards reminded him that this person might have ulterior motives, but the Fourth Prince was confident, "This kind of person is the easiest to control."

Back at the mansion, the fourth prince found Ye Yunzi. She was sitting there waiting, with a calm smile. "Your Highness, it looks like I won this bet."

"Why do you think so?" the Fourth Prince asked in dissatisfaction.

"What we agreed on was whether the carriage of the South Vietnamese envoy would injure civilians. Today's situation obviously does not meet this condition, so I win." Ye Yunzi explained, as if she had already anticipated the development of the matter.

The fourth prince narrowed his eyes and examined her, "In that case, what do you want?"
