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

On the way back to the Su Mansion, Ye Yunzi frowned and kept muttering: "Princess of Nanyue..."

I always feel like I missed something important in my dream, but I just can't remember it.

Seeing this, the maid Yu Shu beside her comforted her: "Don't worry, Miss. Master Shen will definitely make things clear. If the Princess of Nanyue invites us again in the future, we should find a reason to decline."

Ye Yunzi nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's do it." She had no interest in attending those boring parties and would rather stay alone.

At this time, in the residence of the Fourth Prince Baili Ye, the atmosphere was extremely depressing. He had been in a bad mood since Ye Yunzi was taken away.

Losing such a valuable chess piece who could foresee the future was undoubtedly a great loss for him. Fortunately, Shen Yuming's performance recently satisfied him, temporarily alleviating some of his anxiety.

Although he knew that this person had great ambitions, Baili Ye decided to keep him by his side and turn a blind eye to his behavior, considering his usefulness. After all, it was easier to control such a person with aspirations than a person without any desires.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the mansion. Shen Yuming, dressed in green, sat quietly in the carriage with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, a sharp pain like a raging fire struck his heart. He curled up in pain, cold sweat oozing from his forehead. He clutched the clothes on his chest tightly. The pain seemed to awaken the memories of his previous life.

It was a tragic death. The spear pierced his heart, blood flowed, and his body gradually became cold. He couldn't help but groan: "Ugh..."

"Sir, we're here." A servant's gentle reminder came from outside the carriage.

Shen Yuming barely managed to steady his trembling body, his face as pale as paper.

When the servant saw no response for a long time and was about to look out, a white hand reached out and lifted the curtain, and then Shen Yuming walked down. Although his face was haggard, he still maintained an awe-inspiring calm demeanor.

"Sir Shen, please come in." The guard greeted him respectfully.

Shen Yuming stepped into the mansion and only then loosened his clenched fists, leaving deep blood marks on his palms.

Recently, this burning pain in the chest has occurred frequently, like the echo of the last moment before rebirth. Does this foreshadow the same fate? Shen Yuming's eyes are firm, and he will never allow history to repeat itself.

In the previous life, he died because of the rebellion of the seventh prince; this time, he must strike first.

Shen Yuming walked into the hall, saluted to the Fourth Prince, and said bluntly: "Your Highness, I think we should deal with the Seventh Prince immediately."

After some efforts, Shen Yuming finally won the trust of the suspicious Fourth Prince and gained a place in the court.

"Go on." The fourth prince Baili Ye said lightly.

Shen Yuming said solemnly: "If we don't act in time, the Seventh Prince will become a huge hidden danger in the future. Every time I feel a sharp pain in my chest, it's like a warning to me."

Baili Ye frowned slightly after hearing this, but did not directly refute. Now that the Seventh Prince's power is growing, and he has the support of the harem behind him, the situation is not optimistic.

Facing the doubt, Shen Yuming answered firmly: "In order to prevent future tragedies, we need to weaken the power of the Seventh Prince. First, we can consider removing Concubine Xian behind him."

Baili Ye was silent for a moment, then he said, "This matter is of great importance, but what you said does make sense."

Shen Yuming knew that his suggestion touched on sensitive topics, but he still insisted on his position: "Only in this way can we ensure the stability of the country and avoid unnecessary turmoil."

The two nodded tacitly.

A sly look flashed across Shen Yuming's eyes, and he whispered, "I heard that the assassins in Nanyue are proficient in poison techniques and have thousands of colorless and invisible poisons..."

He was thinking in his mind that if he could advance the plan of the Fourth Prince using the Nanyue poison to frame Concubine Xian in his previous life, then after this plan succeeded, the Fourth Prince would definitely be grateful to him.

He secretly vowed that he would use all means to climb to the pinnacle of power in this life.

Baili Ye's fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the teacup, "Nanyue Kingdom..." Before he finished speaking, the air became heavier.

Shen Yuming knew it all, so he stopped talking and stood quietly aside. He knew that the thoughtful Fourth Prince would come up with a solution.

The next day, the Fourth Prince handed over an invitation to the Princess of Nanyue. The Princess naturally would not refuse such an honor and went there with pleasure. The garden in the Fourth Prince's residence was decorated like a poem and picturesque. The two strolled through it, enjoying the tranquility and beauty.

"Your garden is indeed unique, but it is still not as good as those in Ningcaotang." The Princess of Nanyue looked into the distance. She knew that what were planted there were not ordinary flowers, but rare and precious medicines.

"Oh? There is such a scenic spot?" the Fourth Prince asked curiously.

"Indeed." The princess responded calmly.

"Since the princess has come here at the invitation, she must have guessed that the king has other purposes." The princess stopped and looked directly into the eyes of the fourth prince. "We South Vietnamese people are straightforward. Your Highness, please speak frankly if you have anything to say."

Baili Ye smiled slightly, "Princess, you are very straightforward. Actually, I want to ask you about the use of poison in your country."

Hearing this, the Princess of Nanyue's smile gradually faded, and her eyes became sharp, "How did your Highness know about this?"

"It's just some gossip." The fourth prince answered easily, but in fact both of them knew in their hearts that such information was not easy to obtain.

This makes the princess realize that he is more complicated than he seems.

After a moment, the princess regained her composure. "That's just gossip, not worth mentioning."

However, Baili Ye did not give up. "The truth depends on what the princess says. If it is true, it is true; if it is false, it is false."

The princess smiled when she heard this, her smile was brilliant and mysterious: "Assuming what I said is true, then what is the Fourth Prince willing to pay for it?"

A gleam of light flashed in Baili Ye's eyes, "No matter what the conditions are, this king can agree to them."

For him, any price is worth it as long as the obstacles can be removed. And it is also important for him to establish good relations with South Vietnam, so that he may be able to use the power of the other side in the future.

"Really?" The princess looked up and down at the fourth prince with her beautiful eyes, "For example, what if I want to become the fourth prince's consort?"

Baili Ye stopped talking, and the back garden fell into silence.

He stared at her calmly, "I promised that any condition can be met."

Princess Nanyue laughed, covered her mouth with her hand and said, "Your Highness is such a cruel person that he doesn't even let himself go... But you may be disappointed. Those rumors are not true."

She looked around and exclaimed, "The flowers here are so beautiful, and the fragrance is so pleasant. I also want to plant such flowers in my garden." After that, she turned around and left leisurely without saying anything more.

Baili Ye stared at her back with cold eyes, his eyes slightly narrowed, with a hint of coldness flashing across them.
