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

Ye Yunzi's hands slowed down, she lowered her eyes, and said softly, "He has his own plans."

"Ms. Ye, don't be too sad. No, what I mean is that Brother Shen will definitely come back." Tao Qiming became more and more confused as he explained, and he wished he could cover his mouth.

"Si Yan still has a lot of things to deal with."

Ye Yunzi's eyes were deep. Although others might not understand, she was aware of Si Yan's current situation.

He is not simply the eldest prince, but faces some urgent problems. The current crown prince has not yet been determined, and court officials will not easily recognize a new eldest prince.

At this moment, in the Fengtian Hall of the Imperial Palace, the emperor was summoning Shen Siyan and asking him to stand before the ministers.

Inside the palace, officials were whispering to each other, looking nervous.

The emperor suddenly summoned Shen Siyan into the palace. Was he going to declare him the crown prince?

This news made them worried. Every official had his or her own successor in mind, and they did not want any new competitors to emerge.

The prime minister tried to dissuade him, but the emperor stopped him with a wave of his hand.

The prime minister's face suddenly turned pale. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to disobey the emperor's will and could only return to his seat silently.

"I have an important announcement today."

The emperor's voice echoed in the hall, and the officials' expressions immediately became solemn.

In the past few days, they have submitted countless memorials on this matter, and the discussions in the court have often ended in unpleasantness. Now it seems that the emperor has made up his mind.

"quiet!"

The emperor shouted, and the hall fell silent instantly. He glanced at his ministers, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

Obviously, these ministers did not want to see him make Shen Siyan the crown prince. Well, in that case, then let it be as you wish!

The emperor said gloomily, "Shen Siyan, come forward."

Shen Siyan walked forward respectfully, his expression as calm as water.

The emperor explained that Shen Siyan was his long-lost blood relative and had served the country many times, especially exposing a traitor who had been hiding in the capital for many years and avoiding a war.

"After careful consideration, today I want to give him the honor he deserves."

Hearing this, the officials began to whisper, and the ministers in the front row looked even more livid.

Shen Siyan also had doubts in his heart, because he had previously made it clear that he did not want to become the crown prince, and the emperor also agreed to his request.

"Fu Zhong, read the imperial edict." the emperor ordered.

Eunuch Fu Zhong unfolded the imperial edict and read it aloud, and every word could be heard clearly.

"…Shen Siyan is hereby named King Chen."

When the last sentence was spoken, the entire hall seemed to have stopped in time.

The ministers all opened their eyes wide, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

No one expected that the emperor would choose to directly confer the title of king! This was not only a recognition of Shen Siyan, but also an affirmation of his identity.

Shen Siyan was also surprised. When he looked up and met the emperor's eyes, he seemed to understand what he meant.

This decision was both unexpected and expected, as it not only resolved the current political deadlock but also paved the way for the future of the empire.

The emperor stared at Shen Siyan quietly, his eyes full of determination.

"Si Yan, your mother named you Chen, which means Baili Chen." The emperor said softly, with tenderness in his tone.

"Why don't you accept the order?"

"Thank you very much for your grace, father." Shen Siyan knelt down respectfully and took the imperial edict with both hands.

The ministers in the court looked embarrassed. Although they wrote letters every day to oppose the eldest prince's reward, they did not expect that the emperor would directly confer the title of Prince Chen on Shen Siyan.

This move was beyond everyone's expectations, and even if they were dissatisfied, they were speechless at the moment.

The news quickly spread throughout the capital, even to the Jiang family. Ye Yunzi smiled slightly after hearing it: "I can rest assured now."

The news that Shen Siyan became King of Chen made many people feel relieved.

He was no longer involved in the dispute over the crown prince, nor did he worry about being attacked by court officials because of his mother's family. Ye Yunzi finally let go of her worries.

The other princes reacted indifferently to this change. To them, Shen Siyan's new identity actually reduced the pressure of competition.

"Shen Siyan was named King Chen?"

When Baili Yan heard the news, he felt relieved. Shen Yuming had predicted that Shen Siyan would not pose a threat, and now it seems to be true.

"Lord Shen is truly wise and has foreseen this!" he exclaimed.

However, Baili Yan understands that the biggest threat at the moment is Baili Ye, who holds important secrets.

In order to secure his position, this man must be found and eliminated.

"Once I deal with Baili Ye, I can rest assured that the position of Crown Prince will be within my grasp! In the future, the world will also be mine!"

Baili Yan was full of confidence, thinking that as long as he had Shen Yuming's support, other opponents would not be a threat.

In a secluded corner of the capital, Baili Ye was closing the door, facing his inner struggle alone.

His face looked haggard and his eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that he had not slept for several nights.

"Yue'er, is this really the only way?"

He blamed himself and said, "Yue'er, I'm sorry, but I will definitely seek justice for you."

In order to obtain the troops in Kui Shili's hands, he seemed ready to make a difficult decision, and his heart was full of pain and contradictions.

Night falls slowly.

After Ye Yunzi finished washing, she sat in front of the ancient bronze mirror. Yu Shu gently combed her long hair that was as black as ink and as smooth as silk.

In order to find a way to cure Shen Siyan of the poison, Ye Yunzi traveled south and became much thinner. The face reflected in the mirror was white and delicate, but had a unique charm.

Yu Shu gently stroked the young lady's hair and praised: "Young lady's hair is really well maintained."

Ye Yunzi smiled slightly and said nothing more: "It's late, you should go to rest too."

"Yes."

Yu Shu put down the comb and prepared to leave. At this time, Leng Xue's voice came from outside the door: "Miss."

Hearing this name, Ye Yunzi's heart tightened.

Leng Xue has been recuperating, and will not appear here unless there is something important. Ye Yunzi immediately said, "Come in."

Leng Xue pushed the door open and said briefly, "Miss, the master is here."

When the word "adult" was mentioned, Ye Yunzi's heartbeat quickened and her thoughts were instantly drawn.

That was Shen Siyan. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. He must have been busy dealing with family affairs and personal identity issues during this period. Despite this, Ye Yunzi had been silently supporting him and waiting patiently.

Although she said she understood that he was busy, deep down she still longed to meet him and hear the news directly from him instead of asking others.

Yu Shu was stunned, wondering who would come to see the lady so late at night.

But before she could say anything, Ye Yunzi had already stood up and asked anxiously, "Where is Si Yan?"

"He's at the back door." Leng Xue replied.

Ye Yunzi wanted to go out to see him immediately, but when she saw herself in the mirror - her hair was not yet done, she realized it was not appropriate to go out like this.
