"Shen Siyan..."

The feast ended in the evening, and Baili Ye got on the carriage to go home with a solemn look on his face.

As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I saw the housekeeper Guangli pacing back and forth anxiously.

Seeing his master coming back, Guangli immediately stepped forward and reported: "Sir, Miss Ye has been taken away."

Upon hearing the news, Baili Ye felt a chill all over his body.

"That person entered the mansion dressed as you. His appearance was almost exactly the same as yours. No one noticed, including my subordinates..." Guangli bowed his head and admitted his mistake, feeling deeply remorseful.

"Sir, it's all my negligence. Please punish me." He knelt down suddenly and bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Baili Ye's expression was unpredictable, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking. He asked, "Pretending to be me?"

"Yes, sir, that man must have used a disguise."

"The art of disguise... Who in this world is more proficient in this art than Mu Yan?" The situation became complicated. Without Mu Yan, who was both an expert in poison and a doctor, the other party still had superb disguise skills that were enough to threaten him.

"Shen Siyan can't stay." A hint of cold determination flashed in Baili Ye's eyes.

"Go and call Shen Yuming."

At this moment, Shen Yuming became a key chess piece in Baili Ye's hand. Shen Yuming has the ability to foresee the future. As long as he can use this skillfully, he can easily put Shen Siyan in a disadvantageous position.

When he was summoned, Shen Yuming was secretly happy and ambitious.

He was once a powerful official of the third rank, a capable assistant to the fourth prince, and enjoyed endless honors. But now he is extremely dissatisfied with his miserable life.

After quickly tidying up his clothes, Shen Yuming went there immediately.

In response to Baili Ye's questions about Shen Siyan, Shen Yuming immediately comforted him and told him how Shen Siyan had suffered a miserable defeat in his previous life.

"Did I end his life with my own hands?" Baili Ye asked in surprise.

"That's right. Even though he is extremely smart, he cannot surpass Your Highness." Shen Yuming took the opportunity to flatter him, knowing full well the importance of catering to his master's wishes.

However, Shen Yuming did not mention Shen Siyan's past trust and loyalty to the Fourth Prince, and the tragic ending of his betrayal due to suspicion.

Hearing this, Baili Ye’s confidence increased and he thought that defeating Shen Siyan again would be a piece of cake.

"Your Highness, compared to Shen Siyan, it is more important to resolve the hidden dangers brought by the Seventh Prince as soon as possible."

Shen Yuming looked solemn, and still had lingering fears when he mentioned this matter. He originally thought that he would also rise to prominence with the ascension of the fourth prince, but unexpectedly, a sudden rebellion changed everything, and even he himself was not spared.

In order to survive, the Seventh Prince must be eliminated as soon as possible in this life.

However, Baili Ye did not take it seriously. "What is there to fear for a Seventh Prince who has lost his helper? He is simply vulnerable."

"Your Highness." Shen Yuming took a deep breath and said solemnly: "In the dream, you died at the hands of the Seventh Prince."

The air solidified instantly.

"How outrageous!" Guangli shouted angrily.

How could an adult be killed? It was simply unbelievable.

Baili Ye’s face turned pale and there was a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Although he knew that telling the truth would make the Fourth Prince unhappy, Shen Yuming was convinced that he would not lose his life, so he stood straight and did not back down.

Guangli drew his sword suddenly, and the sharp blade was across Shen Yuming's neck. "Sir, let me kill him. This man is full of nonsense. He dared to curse you. He is simply lawless."

The hall was silent. Baili Ye's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring straight at Shen Yuming.

Shen Yuming lowered his head slightly to avoid that piercing gaze, but his aura remained open and fearless.

After a moment, Baili Ye waved his hand, signaling Guangli to put away his sword. Although Guangli still had the killing intent in his heart, he dared not disobey his master's order, so he had to put away his sword in disgrace, and his eyes swept across Shen Yuming with cold hostility.

"Tell me what is going on." Baili Ye's voice was calm and majestic.

Shen Yuming then narrated what had happened. As he narrated, Baili Ye's eyes became deeper and his expression gradually became heavier.

The Seventh Prince, Empress Xian... The undercurrents in the court are becoming more and more unpredictable. Is there really an ulterior motive behind them? Has the Seventh Prince endured for many years just to wait for an opportunity to turn the tables?

Thinking of this, Baili Ye had already regarded the Seventh Prince as someone who must be eliminated.

If you want to overthrow the Seventh Prince, you must first deal with Concubine Xian.

……

Ye Yunzi returned home and was finally able to fall asleep peacefully. She did not wake up until the sun was high in the sky.

Qingzhu came in with a basin of water to help her wash up.

"Miss, Master Shen has sent someone to take your measurements."

"Measure the size?"

"Yes, to make your wedding dress."

"Wedding dress..." Ye Yunzi looked at herself in the mirror with mixed feelings.

She is about to get married and become Shen Siyan's wife.

Thinking of this, her chest tightened and she felt nervous.

Being able to spend the rest of your life with the one you love is undoubtedly the greatest happiness in the world; God gave her a second chance to meet the love of her life again.

"Young lady, when you put on your wedding dress, you will be so beautiful that all the girls in the capital will be envious!"

"Stop talking nonsense." Ye Yunzi's cheeks flushed, and she showed a rare shy look.

At the same time, on the other side of the capital.

A gorgeously decorated carriage stopped in front of the Shen Mansion. Princess Nanyue gently stretched out her hand, opened the curtain, and looked up at the mansion in front of her.

"Your Highness, we're here." The waiter reported respectfully.

The princess blinked, her heart full of anticipation, hoping to see Shen Siyan.

She had never seen him again since that chance encounter on the street that day, but over the past few days, that figure had become more and more clearly engraved in her heart.

Alas, why is he already engaged?

The Princess of Nanyue sighed softly.

"Your Highness, do you need someone to greet you?" the waiter asked.

Princess Nanyue's heartbeat quickened as she got off the carriage and walked towards the gate of Shen's residence. Seeing this, the people from Shen's residence hurried out to greet her.

"Welcome to Your Highness the Princess."

"Your Highness the Princess is here, please come in."

The purpose of her trip was just to express her gratitude to Shen Siyan for saving her on the street. Thinking of this, she felt much calmer.

When Madam Shen heard the news, her eyes widened in surprise: "What good did that worthless guy do to make the Princess of South Vietnam come to visit?"

Although he was unhappy, he quickly went to the hall to greet them.

"Your Highness, you are really flattering us."

The Princess of Nanyue glanced at Madam Shen and saw that although she was over 30, she was still beautiful. For some reason, meeting Shen Siyan's mother made her feel a little respectful and wanted to leave a good impression.

Mrs. Shen stayed to accompany the guests. After all, receiving such distinguished guests was a big deal.

The two chatted for a while, and the Princess of Nanyue looked out the door from time to time, wondering why Shen Siyan hadn't shown up yet. Madam Shen was worried and blamed Shen Siyan in her heart.
