Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother
Chapter 451 Falling short of success
"I don't have much valuable stuff to give away, but if you run into trouble in the future, just take this token to the Sanxun Restaurant for help, and they will help you."
Lord Ji said this calmly, as if he was talking about a commonplace matter.
Ye Yunzi was extremely shocked and could hardly hide her astonishment.
You know, Tieyun Pavilion is one of the most mysterious and powerful underground organizations in the capital, and ordinary people have no chance of knowing its existence.
"This gift is so precious that I can't accept it!"
Ye Yunzi tried to return the token, but she was quickly calculating in her mind: Could it be that Lord Ji is the big boss behind Tieyun Pavilion?
Lord Ji waved his hand to reject her refusal.
"Just accept it, so I can feel more at ease." There are undercurrents in the capital, and he doesn't want to see anyone around him get hurt again.
Ye Yunzi finally took the token and felt the warmth in her hands.
At this moment, she realized that she had an extremely powerful resource in her hands, which might be the key to solving the mystery.
"Thank you very much, sir," she said gratefully.
After Ye Yunzi carefully put away the token, she said goodbye to the Marquis, then went to Ningcaotang to visit Ji Xinying, and finally returned to the Jiang Mansion.
The house was filled with joy, but she felt extremely heavy-hearted. Sitting by the window, she tried to sort out the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
She understood that Lord Ji's purpose in establishing Tieyun Pavilion was to uncover the mystery of the Ji family's tragic extermination.
However, many years have passed and this huge organization has not been able to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, which shows that the enemy's background is far more complicated than they expected.
Ye Yunzi frowned. Suddenly, a vague memory flashed through her mind, as if it was inextricably linked to the puzzle before her. But when she tried to capture this memory, it became unclear.
"What on earth is that?" She clutched her handkerchief tightly, thinking hard.
"Luo Fei..." The name came out of her mouth inadvertently. Her eyes drifted into the distance and she whispered, "Ji Rong'er, Luo Fei."
She remembered that in her previous life, she had heard that Concubine Luo's full name was Ji Rong'er. So, was the tragedy of the Ji family related to this Concubine Luo?
On the other side, after Baili Ye learned some news, he clenched his fists and looked grim.
"Turns out he's still alive..." he said coldly, and then ordered his men to go investigate immediately.
Almost at the same time, Jiang You also found a key clue and was extremely excited. After a whole month of hard work, he finally found a breakthrough.
He immediately reported the matter to the emperor, who was also very excited to hear the news, and silently prayed in his heart that his and Rong'er's child would be safe and sound.
"Take action immediately!" the emperor gave instructions urgently.
Jiang You led the guards to act quickly, with the goal of finding the son of the old palace maid who had secretly taken the child away - even though the old palace maid was deceased, her son might know some inside information.
The group arrived at a remote village outside the city. The local residents were terrified and closed their doors. Only an elderly man came forward tremblingly to ask the purpose of their visit.
Jiang You asked directly: "Where is Guo Er?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Guo Zi unfortunately drowned yesterday."
Jiang You's face changed suddenly when he heard this, which meant that an important witness had passed away.
The villagers were still saddened by the news of Guozi's death, but they had never expected that the officers and soldiers would come to visit them so soon.
"What exactly happened?" Jiang You asked sternly.
The old man trembled and said, "Sir, we don't know what happened. Yesterday, Guo Er's body floated on the river. His face was so pale that the women who were washing clothes by the river screamed."
Jiang You had a complicated expression. He had finally found a clue and thought he could use it to track down the eldest prince, but now this only clue was lost.
"Where is the body now?" he asked.
"He has been buried." The old man answered honestly.
Jiang You’s face became increasingly gloomy, and his heart was in turmoil.
On the other side, Baili Ye stepped into the residence of the Princess of Nanyue. Recently, the princess has kept the door closed, and she is in a bad mood, but she dare not go out easily.
All of this was blamed on Ye Yunzi. The princess was convinced that the commotion in the restaurant that day was planned by her.
Although he was full of resentment, he was powerless to settle the score with Ye Yunzi directly. He could only wait for time to pass and let this unpleasantness gradually fade from people's memory.
The princess was in the garden, holding a flower in her hand and tearing it hard. Several flowers were torn into pieces by her, but the anger in her heart was still unabated.
"I will never let you have it easy!" she said through gritted teeth.
"Princess..." The maid approached cautiously and was about to speak.
The princess turned around suddenly and threw the withered flowers in her hand at the maid.
"Can't you see I'm tidying the garden?" The maid was so scared that she dared not say a word.
At this time, a slender figure appeared and said softly: "It seems that the princess is not in a very good mood today."
The Princess of Nanyue turned around and saw Baili Ye approaching slowly. She was slightly surprised, but still said coldly: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, what can I do for you?"
She had no contact with the Fourth Prince, and the only time they met was for that deal - using poison in exchange for the opportunity to get close to Ye Yunzi, but unfortunately it failed in the end.
Thinking of this, the princess felt even worse, and her eyes turned cold when she looked at Baili Ye.
Baili Ye's face was calm and his eyes were as deep as the abyss. He remained calm even in the face of the princess's coldness.
"In a month, Shen Siyan will marry Ye Yunzi." He said calmly.
The princess's face suddenly changed and the flowers in her hands were crushed to pieces.
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince came here just to tell me this news?"
"That's not the case." Baili Ye raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
He took a few steps closer, almost touching the princess, who felt his chill and couldn't help but shrink back. Baili Ye leaned over and whispered in a low voice: "This wedding is destined not to happen."
The princess was stunned, staring at him with wide eyes, at a loss for a moment.
The Princess of Nanyue's heart skipped a beat and she instantly felt a hot current rushing to her forehead. Her mind went blank and only a buzzing sound remained in her ears.
After a while, she came back to her senses and took a step back, staring at Baili Ye with wide eyes. "What did you say? They won't get married? How is that possible!"
The wedding is in a month, how could it be cancelled? Baili Ye had a faint smile on his face, looking very calm.
The Princess of Nanyue looked at his calm face and felt an inexplicable sense of trust. She almost believed what he said. But she smiled at herself.
"Your Highness, you really love to joke around. This kind of lie can't fool me. I'm not a child."
"This king never lies."
“……” The Princess of Nanyue was half-believing and half-doubting. Her reason told her that this was impossible, but hope was quietly sprouting in her heart.
She wanted to destroy Ye Yunzi's happiness and didn't want to see her live a happy life.
