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

After the old eunuch left, the emperor sighed and seemed to have let go of the burden in his heart.

"There is always a way out. This may be God's will."

In a dilapidated temple, Baili Lin huddled in a corner, shivering from the cold, his face as pale as paper.

His clothes were tattered and stained with dried blood—the blood of his wife Song Xueying. Baili Lin's eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul, staring blankly ahead.

"Prince."

Suddenly, he seemed to see a beautiful woman sitting in the dark, turning her head and smiling at him gently.

Baili Lin's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly reached out his hand: "Aying!"

However, the illusion before his eyes quickly disappeared, leaving behind a void. Baili Lin felt as if a large piece of his heart had been dug out, and he felt so painful that he could not breathe.

He forced a bitter smile, tears unconsciously sliding down his cheeks.

"Aying, Aying is gone."

"Aying left me alone..."

He was all alone in the world.

On that dark night, Aying, the only one who cared about him and accompanied him, left him.

Baili Lin was trembling, his heart filled with despair. Originally, on the night that Ah Ying left, he had planned to follow her, thinking that he would be able to meet her again in another world.

However, there was a fire of unwillingness to admit defeat burning in his heart - he wanted to find out the truth and seek justice for Aying.

At this moment, the door of the dilapidated temple creaked, Baili Lin raised his head suddenly, staring at the shaky wooden door. The door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure appeared at the door.

Baili Lin's hand quietly slid to the hilt of the knife hidden in his sleeve, and his body trembled slightly due to nervousness. But when he saw the face of the person coming, he immediately relaxed.

"You finally came."

He said softly, standing up and walking towards the other person.

The man was so thin that he almost blended into the darkness. Against the moonlight, his face could not be seen clearly.

He paused for a moment and whispered, "Tomorrow, you will step into the palace."

Baili Lin was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

"Enter the palace? You said I can enter the palace? How is that possible?"

He had been a deposed crown prince, forbidden from ever setting foot in the capital again, let alone the imperial palace.

Hearing this, he was both shocked and excited, because he knew that only by going back there could he uncover the truth about Aning's murder.

"This is true." The man nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll go!" Baili Lin responded firmly, with new hope flashing in his eyes.

Now that he has lost his power and status, he is like a fish on a chopping board waiting to be slaughtered. Even if he disappears, no one will notice. If he wants to avenge Ah Ying, he must regain his strength!

"Yes, once you enter the palace, you have to find a way to stay inside." the man reminded.

"I see!"

Baili Lin nodded in agreement, his heart full of determination. Having nothing, he was no longer afraid of anything, and he was determined to climb up even if it cost him everything.

He clenched his fists and looked determined.

"Also, how can I enter the palace? How do you know all this?" He had unconditional trust in the mysterious man in front of him, but was still a little curious.

Baili Lin recalled the first time he met the pale man, which was the night when Aying died.

At that time, he was heartbroken. He held Aying, who was getting colder and colder, and held a dagger tightly in his hand, ready to end his life.

At this critical moment of life and death, the man appeared, stopped his impulse, and told him that as long as he was alive, there was hope.

This sentence became his reason to persevere and strengthened his determination to avenge Aying.

He followed the man's advice and escaped from the temple that night, hiding at the foot of the mountain. He lived in fear for the past few days, waiting for the man to appear again. He had been waiting for many days.

Baili Lin stared at the other party, waiting for the answer.

However, that person's brows suddenly furrowed, his face turned extremely pale, large beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his steps became erratic.

Seeing this, Baili Lin hurriedly reached out to support him.

"what happened to you?"

The man shook his head slightly, his voice weak.

"You will understand tomorrow." After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Baili Lin looked at the receding figure and felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.

Just now, what he touched was not the body temperature of an ordinary person, but a kind of coldness, as if it came from another world.

But he quickly calmed down and thought to himself: "Whether it's a human or a ghost, as long as they can help me find the real murderer who killed Aying, everything will be worth it."

In order to avenge Aying, he was willing to pay any price. Following the man's instructions, he continued to hide in the temple, waiting for the next day.

The next morning.

Baili Lin curled up on a pile of hay, having not slept all night, feeling very uneasy.

Just then, the dilapidated door of the temple was pushed open.

He suddenly opened his eyes, holding the dagger in his sleeve, ready to fight back at any time.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Baili Lin paused. The old eunuch beside his father appeared at the door.

"you……"

It turned out that the old eunuch was ordered to take the deposed prince back to the palace, but he accidentally learned that the crown princess was killed and the prince was missing. After a long search, he finally found him here.

Baili Lin was in tattered clothes and looked haggard, and it was obvious that he had gone through a lot of hardships.

The old eunuch approached and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the Emperor asked me to take you back."

Baili Lin opened his eyes wide, full of doubts. Although he had heard about it last night, he was still shocked when he faced this moment.

"Father wants me to return to the palace?"

"That's right, Your Highness."

The old eunuch responded in a low voice, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes. Who could have thought that this former prince would fall into such a state?

Led by the old eunuch, Baili Lin boarded a carriage and drove towards the palace.

On the way, the old eunuch talked about the latest situation in the palace.

After hearing this, the warmth in Baili Lin's heart gradually disappeared. He originally thought that his father sent someone to pick him up because he was concerned about the relationship between father and son.

I never thought that my blood was needed to prepare the medicine.

What an irony!

Baili Lin's face was filled with loss. No one in the world cared about him anymore and he became truly alone.

In order to survive, he must climb up desperately. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, he must take back power and find the real murderer who killed Aying.

Seeing this, the old eunuch comforted him softly: "Your Highness, the emperor still has you in his heart."

However, Baili Lin did not respond, but turned around silently and looked out the window. The old eunuch sighed and said no more.

Although the emperor still has feelings for the prince, he cannot let him stay in the palace due to his past mistakes and cruel methods. Even though he is reluctant, he can only bury this feeling deep in his heart.

Baili Lin was determined to seize this opportunity and stay in the palace no matter what. Returning here made him feel mixed emotions.
