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

Finally, he made a decision and walked heavily towards Concubine Xian's residence. He repeatedly told himself in his heart that his mother had been poisoned too deeply, and ending her suffering as soon as possible was the best arrangement for her.

When he stepped into the room and called out "Mother", he saw that Empress Xian was pale, with blood at the corners of her mouth and her lips were cyanotic.

He was horrified, and hurried forward, gently touching her cheek, calling out: "Mother... Mother!"

Empress Xian stopped breathing and passed away.

"Mother!" Baili Yan's heart was shaken, as if the sky and the earth were breaking apart. Facing his mother's remains, he was at a loss for a moment, and his whole body was cold.

The old maid outside the door heard the cry and rushed over: "Your Highness, what happened?"

Baili Yan stood there motionless, as if he had lost his soul.

"Mother is gone."

The old nanny was stunned and could not believe it for a moment. She turned her head to look at the bed and saw that Empress Xian looked pale and lifeless.

The old nanny slowly approached, stood beside the bed, and stared at Concubine Xian.

"Empress!" she called softly, then knelt on the ground, her body pressed against the edge of the bed, and gently touched Empress Xian's cheek with her trembling hands.

"My lady, please open your eyes and look at this old slave!"

"I haven't told you yet, Miss Aliang is doing well."

"Your Highness, please open your eyes and look! His Highness is back. He has come to see you! How can you leave like this? Please open your eyes and look at His Highness..."

The old nanny burst into tears and could hardly breathe. She had watched Concubine Xian grow up and knew how kind and gentle she was.

But why did such a wonderful person die young?

The old nanny beat her chest and stamped her feet, wishing she could exchange her life for Concubine Xian's well-being.

"My lady..."

She was so grief-stricken that she almost fainted. Baili Yan stood aside, staring at his mother's face with empty eyes, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

After a long time, he finally felt a little bit of consciousness, his shoulders and hands were shaking. He noticed that his mother seemed to be holding something in her hands, so he gently pried open her fingers.

It was a crumpled piece of paper with white powder on it.

He looked up suddenly and saw the same powder on his mother's pale lips - it was poison.

Baili Yan's heart seemed to be hit hard. He staggered back and finally sat on the ground helplessly. His mother died of poison!

Is it because of what he said that you chose this path?

"no, I can not."

Baili Yan shook his head in denial, unwilling to accept this cruel fact. However, the evidence before him mercilessly told him that this was the truth. The last words his mother heard were unbearable, and she finally chose to end her life.

"That's not the case!" he shouted, turning and rushing out of the room.

He rushed out desperately, fleeing the palace, just wanting to get away from it. His heart was full of pain and regret, but he didn't know where to go.

He returned to his mansion in a state of anxiety.

Aliang stood not far away, holding an ancient wooden box tightly in his hand, staring at the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

She wanted to find out the real meaning of Concubine Xian asking her to pass on the wooden box, but she didn't dare to enter the palace easily. If she wanted to find out about Concubine Xian, she could only rely on the power of the Seventh Prince, who was the only one who could enter and leave the palace freely and see Concubine Xian.

Aliang hesitated for a long time and was about to muster up the courage to step forward when he suddenly saw the Seventh Prince stumbling towards him.

"Seventh Prince?" Why is he so distraught?

Ah Liang hurried after him and was about to knock on the door to ask for an audience, but she found a fallen porcelain bottle on the ground. She stopped and picked up the porcelain bottle, thinking that it might have been left behind by the Seventh Prince in a hurry.

Aliang wanted to return it immediately, but the door was closed. Looking at the closed door and considering the state of the Seventh Prince, she decided not to disturb him for the time being and return it another day.

After returning home, Aliang took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, opened it curiously, and found several dark red pills inside, which smelled like a deadly poison.

She was shocked and didn't understand why the Seventh Prince had such a poison.

"What exactly does the Seventh Prince want to do?" She was full of questions, but she knew very well that this was not something she should interfere in, so she put the poison back into the porcelain bottle and put it aside, planning to return it when she saw the Seventh Prince in the future.

Her eyes fell on the old wooden box again, and she fell into deep thought.

On the other hand, the Su family's caravan had left the capital one day ago. As they passed a small town on the way, they decided to stay there for one night and continue their journey tomorrow.

The long journey made Ye Yunzi feel exhausted. She rubbed her waist gently, and a trace of fatigue appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Su Luoan asked with concern: "How do you feel? Are you okay? Do you want to rest for two more days before setting off?"

Ye Yunzi smiled slightly. Although she was tired, she was willing to move forward for the future of her family.

There is no rush for the caravan, we can talk about it later.

Ye Yunzi shook her head and said to her uncle Su Luoan, "Uncle, I'm fine. I just haven't been out for a long time, so I'm not used to it. It will be fine once I get used to it."

Seeing her firm attitude, Su Luoan didn't say much, but he secretly decided that if Yunzi felt uncomfortable, he would stop the team immediately. In his heart, people are much more important than money.

He thought that if anything happened to Yunzi, his sister would definitely scold him. So he said, "Okay, just have a good rest. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me."

"Okay, thank you uncle." Ye Yunzi replied with a smile.

After Su Luoan left, Ye Yunzi looked at his back and her smile became even sweeter.

Although she didn't know her uncle well, she could feel his care, which made her feel very lucky. At least, the Su family still had such a strong and reliable elder.

Ye Yunzi walked into the guest room, and the servant Yu Shu had already made the bed. "Miss, the bed is ready. How about I ask the store to prepare some hot water for you to take a bath?" Yu Shu asked.

"Okay." Ye Yunzi agreed.

Yu Shu quickly went out to make arrangements. This small inn usually didn't have hot water, but because the Su family was generous and gave a tip, the waiter happily agreed and went to boil water immediately.

Ye Yunzi took off her headdress and prepared to enjoy a comfortable bath to relieve the fatigue of the day. She knew she had to go to Yangzhou as soon as possible and not waste time here. Since she chose to go with him, she had to stick to it, no matter how hard it was.

Just as she was thinking, there was a slight sound outside the door. Ye Yunzi stopped and prepared to open the door. However, she soon found that the footsteps outside the door were heavy, and it was obviously not Yu Shu. So, who was outside the door?

Could it be Doctor Tao? Ye Yunzi was suspicious and locked her eyes on the door. There were a lot of noises outside the door, and it seemed that there was more than one person. After a while, the sound disappeared.

For some reason, Ye Yunzi felt uneasy. She quietly retreated to the bedside, took out a white porcelain bottle from her package, and held it tightly.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Yu Shu came in and said, "Miss, the bath water is ready!"

Ye Yunzi relaxed her hand holding the white porcelain bottle, and when she saw it was Yu Shu, she breathed a sigh of relief.
