No, that's impossible. Why would my brother want to rebel?

Baili Ye's words shocked Baili Yue. She turned pale and took a few steps back, shaking her head continuously: "No, no!"

She just wanted to live peacefully with her brother and mother, and never thought of rebelling, let alone betraying her father. It was wrong for her brother to do this.

"No..." Baili Yue objected softly.

Baili Ye frowned. He knew his sister's innocence and knew she would not participate in such things. But now was an extraordinary period, so he could only let her suffer some grievances temporarily.

He needed someone in the palace to cooperate. The plan was ready, only the last step was left.

Baili Ye walked forward, gently held Baili Yue's shoulders, stared into her eyes and asked: "Yue'er, do you want to live with your mother?"

Baili Yue looked at her brother and nodded in affirmation: "Yes."

She is willing to be with her brother and mother anytime and anywhere.

"Yue'er, if I become the emperor, the whole country will belong to us. Then you will still be the noble princess, and our family will be able to return to the palace openly and never be separated again."

"But..." Baili Yue still found it hard to accept the fact that her brother was rebelling.

Baili Ye said in a heavy tone: "Do you think my brother and mother are wrong? I have been studying government affairs and military affairs since I was a child, and practicing martial arts hard, just to get my father's recognition.

I have done so much for my father and the court, but what do I get in return? " At this point, he smiled bitterly, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"Even if I made mistakes, my merits outweigh my faults. This throne was originally mine!"

Baili Ye stared at Baili Yue and asked, "Yue'er, what do you think?"

Baili Yue nodded blankly. Her brother was busy studying and practicing martial arts every day in order to win the favor of their father, and she always thought that her brother was the best.

"Yue'er, I will definitely become a good emperor!" Baili Ye said firmly, with ruthlessness in his eyes. Baili Yue was moved by his belief and nodded again.

"So you have to stay in the palace and wait for my news. If you hold on for a while, we will be reunited."

"Okay." Baili Yue agreed unconsciously.

Baili Ye smiled and touched her head gently as usual: "Yue'er, you don't have to feel guilty. This throne should have been mine. No one is more suitable than me!"

Baili Yue bit her lip, looked up at her brother, and said nothing.

Baili Ye's eyes flashed with a deep look, and he whispered: "Something big will happen in the palace tomorrow, and then you will understand what I mean, about the seventh brother..."

Before he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth rose slightly with a hint of sneer.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Baili Ye's expression changed: "Yue'er, you must not tell anyone about what happened today, stay in the palace and wait for my order!"

After saying this, he quickly changed his appearance and became another person.

"I'm leaving."

"Brother." Baili Yue called softly, grabbing the corner of her brother's clothes. She was reluctant to part again after just meeting again.

"Soon, we will be able to meet in the palace, and then no one can separate us."

Baili Ye looked at his sister, his brows revealing reluctance. He hugged her in his arms and held her tightly.

There was a hurried knock on the door. Baili Ye took a look and said, "Someone is coming. I have to go!" After that, he let go of Baili Yue and hurried away.

Baili Yue stood there blankly, feeling empty inside, mumbling, "Brother."

Not long after Baili Ye left, an old maid gently pushed open the door and saw that the princess had woken up and was standing by the bed. She was surprised and delighted: "Your Highness, you are finally awake! Someone come quickly, call the imperial physician!"

The news of Baili Yue's awakening soon reached the emperor.

"Yue'er woke up. Did she say anything?" the emperor asked, with a hint of relief on his face.

The old eunuch replied, "The princess did not make a fuss. She lay down after drinking the medicine."

"That's good." The emperor sighed, worried about Baili Yue's health and afraid that she would do something harmful again.

At this time, Baili Yue was lying quietly on the bed, with her eyes open and a lot of thoughts in her mind.

The plan mentioned by her brother and her seventh brother made her feel very upset. What changes will happen in the palace tomorrow? Will these changes be related to her seventh brother?

It was late at night and Baili Yue tossed and turned until dawn.

Elsewhere, in the Seventh Prince’s residence, since Concubine Xian’s death, Baili Yan has been drinking all day to drown his sorrows, looking haggard.

He sat on the ground, with empty wine bottles scattered around him. He picked up one and shook it, only to find that there was no wine left in it.

He frowned and threw the bottle far away. With a "pop" sound, the bottle shattered.

"Wine! Bring me some wine!" he shouted.

The guards outside the door looked worried. After hearing the order, they stepped forward to dissuade him: "Your Highness, you have been drinking for three days and three nights. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it."

"Wine...go get some wine!" Baili Yan roared impatiently.

"Your Highness!" The guard had no choice but to obey.

Baili Yan sat there with empty eyes. Memories and reality intertwined, making him laugh and cry at the same time, his heart filled with unspeakable bitterness.

Because of his selfishness, his mother died.

In the past few days, he has not dared to step into the palace and face his mother for the last time, feeling that he is not qualified.

"I'm the one who killed my mother. It's all my fault!" Baili Yan lowered his head and stared at his hands, as if they were covered with indelible blood.

"Haha, I actually killed my mother with my own hands!"

His expression seemed a little crazy, and if someone passed by, they would definitely think he had lost his mind.

At this time, a guard came in with a wine jug and happened to hear his whisper, and was stunned.

What is His Highness talking about? It seems that he is saying that he killed his mother...

The guard stopped and stood outside the door with a puzzled look on his face.

Baili Yan smiled bitterly, and caught a glimpse of a figure standing at the door. He suddenly shouted, "Where's the wine? Bring it here quickly!"

"Yes, yes." The guard came to his senses, hurried into the house, and respectfully handed over the wine jug.

Baili Yan didn't even use the cup, he just picked up the wine jug and started drinking in big gulps, his whole body and mind immersed in alcohol. Only in this way could he temporarily forget the pain of his mother's death.

the next day.

The eunuchs in the palace came to the Seventh Prince's residence to convey the news.

At this time, Baili Yan was drunk and unconscious, lying in the living room in a deep sleep.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

The guards called out to Baili Yan, but he showed no signs of waking up and reeked strongly of alcohol.

The guard looked embarrassed and had to explain to the eunuch that His Highness was not feeling well and was very ill and unable to get up.

The eunuch seemed a little embarrassed, and changed his tone and said:

"The Emperor has ordered all members of the royal family to come to the palace tomorrow to draw blood. This is an imperial decree and no one can disobey it. If you disobey, the consequences will be borne by the Seventh Prince himself."
