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

The man frowned and slowly approached the crowd. Then he quickly grabbed a man from the caravan, put a knife to his throat, and asked fiercely, "Tell me, where is Miss Ye going?"

The captured caravan members were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled.

He just wanted to find a secluded place to meet his personal needs, but he didn't expect to become a prey.

"No, don't kill me! Please spare me..." He begged, almost crying.

"For the last time, where is Miss Ye?" The voice of the man in black was as cold as ice, revealing his unquestionable determination.

The caravan member tried to calm down and answered tremblingly: "I really don't know, she left last night, and I don't know where she went."

The man in black's eyes flickered, as if he believed what the other person said.

"Let me go, I won't tell anyone." Before he could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and the cold blade had pierced his heart.

His eyes were full of disbelief, and he finally fell to the ground powerlessly and died silently.

The next day, Su Luoan discovered that one person was missing from the caravan and immediately organized people to search.

On the third day, after some searching, they found the cold body in a remote forest.

On the fourth day, the dead man still had fear in his eyes. This was obviously not an ordinary accident. Su Luoan's face became solemn.

"Lord Su..." The people around also felt uneasy, and the atmosphere became tense.

Su Luoan stared at the scene in front of him, took a deep breath, and said firmly: "Bury him properly. From tonight on, take turns to keep watch and increase vigilance!"

"Yes."

Everyone responded, but they all knew in their hearts that there was a greater crisis hidden behind this.

Su Luoan was also full of doubts and worries. He knew that everything was much more complicated than it seemed. The enemy seemed to be looking for something, or lurking in the dark for a certain purpose.

Whatever the reason, he must protect his team and not let any danger get close.

"The thieves' target is not the caravan, but someone else..." Su Luoan whispered to himself, and suddenly his heart tightened and his face changed abruptly.

"Is it coming for Yunzi?"

This is very likely. Yunzi and Doctor Tao had just left when the attack came. Oh no! Yunzi might be in danger!

Su Luoan was extremely anxious and regretted letting Yunzi go with him. What had she done to bring about such a disaster?

Without hesitation, Su Luoan immediately ordered the caravan to turn around and look for Ye Yunzi's whereabouts.

However, Jiangnan is a vast land with few people, and it is difficult to track Yunzi and his men's whereabouts. No matter what, they must be found as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Su Luoan felt heartbroken at the thought that Yunzi might be in danger, and was even more worried about his sister's reaction after learning the news.

"No matter what, we must find them as soon as possible!"

On the other side, Ye Yunzi and Tao Qiming were preparing to set off again. They were unaware of the incident at night and did not know that Su Luoan was searching for them with all his might.

For safety reasons, they still traveled in disguise, planning to go to Yangzhou.

Leng Xue was about to drive, but was stopped by Tao Qiming: "Miss Leng, you should take a rest first. You didn't sleep a wink last night. Your body won't be able to bear it if you continue like this."

Leng Xue glanced at Tao Qiming and said calmly: "It's okay, I'm used to it."

Her physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people, and she can go without sleep for several days without any problem.

"Miss Leng, please go into the carriage and have a rest." Tao Qiming insisted.

As a man, it is his unshirkable responsibility to protect women. If he can't even do this little thing, how can he be called a man?

Ye Yunzi also spoke: "Leng Xue, come in and have a rest."

Leng Xue glanced at Ye Yunzi, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she agreed, got into the carriage, found a corner to sit down, and closed her eyes to rest.

Ye Yunzi said no more, gently lifted the curtain, and looked into the distance with worry.

I hope Shen Siyan is safe now. Although the poison is not fatal for the time being, long-term poisoning will always have some adverse effects.

Outside the car, Tao Qiming's face was also full of heaviness. The group moved forward in silence, speeding up.

……

In the palace, the situation was changing and undercurrents were surging. Not only in the capital, but also in the palace, major events had occurred.

Baili Yue knelt outside the imperial study with a determined look on his face.

An old eunuch looked at her with a frown on his face, and advised: "Princess Thirteen, the emperor will not see you, so please go back. Even if you continue to kneel, the emperor's decision will not change."

Baili Yue's face was pale and her lips were thin. She had been kneeling here for a whole day and was almost exhausted, but she still held on tenaciously.

She had to see her father no matter what.

The old eunuch looked at Baili Yue who was lying motionless and sighed heavily.

The Thirteenth Princess was stubborn, and if she couldn't see the Emperor, she would probably keep kneeling. Thinking of this, he turned and walked into the Imperial Study.

In the imperial study, the emperor did not review the memorials, but frowned, obviously worried. When he saw the old eunuch coming in, he looked up and asked, "Is Yue'er gone?"

"Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Princess is still kneeling outside."

When the emperor heard this, his brows furrowed even more tightly and his face looked even more tired.

"Why should she do this? She is my daughter. How can I bear to see her suffer outside?"

Yesterday, Baili Yue suddenly asked for a meeting. As soon as they met, she knelt down and said that she wanted to leave the palace and asked the emperor to cancel her princess status.

The emperor was shocked. Baili Yue had always been his most beloved daughter. She had always been willing to help him with his requests since she was a child. Although she was a little willful, she was kind-hearted and gentle to others.

However, ever since the incident between Concubine Wu and the Fourth Prince, she had become silent and unhappy all day long.

Finally, she mustered up the courage to ask her father to allow her to be demoted to a commoner.

Of course the emperor disagreed. He could forgive everything in the past. The mistakes of Concubine Wu and the Fourth Prince had nothing to do with her. She was still his beloved daughter.

Baili Yue insisted on her decision and refused to stay in the palace. The emperor was furious and ordered her to leave.

So Baili Yue knelt outside the imperial study, waiting for the emperor to change his mind. If there was no reply in one day, she would continue to kneel, regardless of wind, frost, rain or snow, without wavering.

Today is the second day.

"Alas." The emperor sighed again. "I have already said that I will not pursue the matter. Why can't she understand my painstaking efforts?"

Recently, the emperor has been troubled. Empress Xian died after being in a coma for two months due to poisoning, which made the emperor very sad. Now, Baili Yue proposed to give up her status as a princess. How can he bear it?

"Your Majesty, if the Thirteenth Princess continues to kneel like this, she might not be able to bear it." The old eunuch was worried. He saw that Baili Yue's face was pale and her body was shaking.

The emperor slammed the table and said in a cold voice: "Am I willing to let her kneel? Can I agree to her request?"

"No way! I will never allow this!"

The emperor was determined not to give in and flatly rejected Baili Yue's request. Baili Yue was still kneeling outside the imperial study, with an extremely firm look in his eyes.
