Ye Yunzi did not refuse and nodded gently in thanks. "Thank you, Doctor Xue."

The four of them left Liuzhou in a carriage. At the same time, the men sent by Lord Yin were still searching in the city and found a big man who was doing hard labor.

The man put the knife on the big man's neck and asked coldly: "Where is old man Xue?"

The strong man turned pale with fear and stammered, "I don't know any old man Xue!"

The man's eyes were grim, and he lightly scratched the strong man's neck with the knife in his hand. Blood immediately oozed out of the strong man's neck.

The sturdy man trembled and said, "I remember now! Is it the old man with messy hair? He has been taken away!"

"Take away? Who?"

"I don't know. They are three young men."

"Three people? We are one step late again!" The man gritted his teeth.

In the palace, Baili Yue has been living in fear these days.

She was worried about what her brother had said, that something big was going to happen in the palace. But three days had passed and everything was as usual, without any disturbance.

"What does my brother mean? What does he want to do?" Baili Yue was full of doubts and had a worried look on his face.

It was late at night and Baili Yue tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Late at night, my thoughts become more complicated.

She missed her mother and brother and longed to leave the palace and reunite with them.

But his brother was planning a rebellion to regain the throne.

Just then, there was a slight sound outside the door and the candlelight flickered.

Baili Yue caught a glimpse of a dark shadow from the corner of his eye, and his heart tightened, and his expression suddenly changed. "Who's there?"

There was a dead silence in the room, and the candlelight gradually became steady.

She got up carefully, looked around, and clearly saw a dark shadow just now.

"Who is it?"

Baili Yue got out of bed quietly and walked slowly towards the door.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared silently behind her.

Baili Yue's whole body stiffened, and he slowly turned his head. The moment he saw that man, all his vigilance disappeared instantly.

"Brother!" Her voice was choked with tears in her eyes. She couldn't help but rush forward and hugged Baili Ye tightly.

"elder brother!"

Baili Ye had a gentle expression and gently stroked her back.

"Yue'er."

"Brother, where have you been these days? Why didn't you come to see me?"

Baili Yue's voice was filled with tears. She looked up and asked, "You said something was going to happen in the palace. What was it going to be?"

She was kept awake all night by worry.

She was afraid that her brother's plan would make him a sinner. She was even more afraid that her brother would abandon her and never come back.

Baili Yue held Baili Ye tightly, fearing that if she let go, her brother would disappear again.

After hearing Baili Yue's words, Baili Ye's eyes suddenly became cold and a chill surged in his heart.

It was originally thought that the blood drawing incident would cause a stir in the palace, but unexpectedly the matter was easily settled.

In this case, he had to find another way.

"Yue'er."

There was a hint of apology in Baili Ye's voice, and he gently stroked his sister's soft hair.

"Brother needs your help."

"help?"

Baili Yue looked at her brother with trust in her eyes. She knew that her brother would never harm her.

"What does my brother need me to do?"

"There are some things that need you to complete."

Baili Ye looked depressed. He would never want to involve his sister in this dispute unless it was absolutely necessary. However, as the situation had developed to this point, he could only let Yue'er join in.

Baili Yue couldn't help but grab her brother's sleeve, worry written all over her face.

"Brother, what do you want me to do? I'm a little scared."

"Don't be afraid." Baili Ye comforted her gently.

Baili Yue bit her lip, she understood that her brother was planning something extremely dangerous.

If she chose to help, it would be equivalent to joining the rebellion. Thinking of this, her body trembled and her face turned pale as paper.

Baili Ye saw his sister's concerns. He knew that Yue'er was kind-hearted and didn't want to hurt others, even her opponents. She was just a little girl who grew up being loved, but now she had to face such a cruel situation.

Baili Ye felt a pang of heartache in his heart, and he wished that Yue'er could stay away from all the troubles and be happy forever.

But for now, they must work together to overcome this difficulty. When he ascends the throne, Yue'er will become the supreme princess and any wish will come true.

"Yue'er, don't worry. Everything you do is just."

Baili Ye tried his best to comfort her in a gentle tone, fearing to scare this innocent girl.

Baili Yue was still uneasy. He looked up with confusion in his eyes.

"Brother, what should I do?"

"Regarding the blood collection in the palace..."

"Brother, you know this too?"

Baili Yue opened her eyes wide in surprise, and then realized that since her brother was able to enter the palace secretly, he must be well aware of the palace affairs.

Baili Ye nodded.

"That night, there should have been a major incident."

"What happened?" Baili Yue's heart skipped a beat.

Baili Ye looked down at his sister, a complicated light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Baili Yan is not of royal blood."

"What?" Baili Yue widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Isn't the Seventh Brother of royal blood?" She was stunned, unconsciously loosened her hand and took a step back.

"Bai Li Yan is not Concubine Xian's biological son. In order to maintain her own position, Concubine Xian replaced the real prince with an outsider baby!" Bai Li Ye's words were cold and firm.

After hearing this, Baili Yue opened his mouth slightly and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

It turns out that the Seventh Prince is a fake!

This is simply a heinous crime!

"Brother, is this really true? Is there any misunderstanding? How could Empress Xian do such a thing?" Baili Yue's face was full of disbelief.

Baili Ye's expression was unusually calm, and he looked at Yue'er closely.

"No misunderstanding."

"But how is this possible?" Baili Yue was shocked.

“I set up this trap carefully with the goal of revealing his true identity through the blood-drawing ceremony in the palace.

A blood test would tell whether he was a royal descendant. But he actually deceived everyone by using a blood transfusion," Baili Ye explained.

"Blood transfusion?" Baili Yue looked up in confusion.

"Three days ago, Qing'an Temple was attacked. The deposed Crown Prince was injured in the assassination, and the Crown Princess unfortunately died." Baili Ye said slowly.

"What? The Crown Princess passed away?" Baili Yue was shocked again.

"That's right, all of this was ordered by Baili Yan. He took the blood of the deposed prince, and when blood was drawn in the palace, he replaced the deposed prince's blood with his own blood!"

Baili Ye said with a heavy expression, fearing that Baili Yue would be soft-hearted.

Baili Yue's body trembled, and he suddenly remembered the porcelain bottle filled with blood that he picked up at the gate of the Imperial Hospital. He didn't think much about it at the time and planned to return it the next time he saw his seventh brother.

Now, the truth is revealed - it was the blood of the seventh prince!

In order to conceal his identity, the seventh prince exchanged his blood with the blood of the deposed prince.

Baili Yue turned and looked at the porcelain vase on the dressing table. She staggered over, picked up the porcelain vase with trembling hands, and said:

"Brother, I found this. It was left behind by my seventh brother. The blood inside should be his own blood."
