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

Rong Mingxuan frowned slightly, thinking more deeply. "I understand. Continue to send people to monitor."

"Yes, my lord."

"What's the news from the palace?"

"It hasn't come yet."

Hearing this, Rong Mingxuan's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he stared at the candlelight solemnly, as if he was lost in thought. He wanted to confirm whether the woman he met that day was the Thirteenth Princess, and sent people to the palace to inquire, but he has not received any news so far.

Doubts grew in his mind.

The next day, Rong Mingxuan went to the palace to meet the emperor, intending to investigate personally. If the Thirteenth Princess stayed in the palace safely, it would be fine; otherwise... his expression became even gloomier.

The princess' palace was in chaos, and the nurses and maids all looked unhappy. The thirteenth princess disappeared, and they searched everywhere they could, but found nothing.

Nanny Li was extremely worried and reported the incident to the emperor. The emperor was shocked. How could someone disappear for no reason? No one saw the princess leave.

Once the news of the princess's disappearance spread, it would damage the reputation of the royal family. Therefore, the emperor ordered all news to be blocked and required everyone in the princess's palace to keep their mouths shut. Anyone who leaked the information would be severely punished.

We must find her as soon as possible and not make things complicated.

Rong Mingxuan arrived in front of the princess's palace, but found the door closed. Li Ma walked out and said softly, "The princess has caught a cold and needs to rest. Deputy General, please come back another day."

"Cold?" Rong Mingxuan's eyes were fixed on Nanny Li.

Li Ma looked a little tired, obviously she hadn't slept all night, and her expression revealed uneasiness. "Yes, the princess is indeed sick, please understand."

Rong Mingxuan's eyes became sharp. He had seen too many lies, and the evasive words in front of him gave him the answer in his heart. Nanny Li's palms were sweating, and she didn't dare to look him in the eye, as if she was afraid of being seen through.

The news of the princess' disappearance must not be leaked out, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. Li Ma prayed in her heart, hoping that the general would not ask any more questions.

"I understand." Rong Mingxuan responded briefly, then turned and left. His expression was gloomy, and he was obviously not satisfied with this explanation.

The person who looked like the Thirteenth Princess that he met outside, but the palace said that the princess was sick? This was too unusual. Rong Mingxuan jumped on his horse and quickly rushed to West Street, thinking that the person was most likely Baili Yue.

After arriving, he briefly asked the black-clad guards waiting there about the situation of the inn and learned that everything was normal and no one was coming in or out. Rong Mingxuan ordered his men to send someone in to investigate secretly and to be careful.

The person who could take the princess away quietly must have come prepared, and the powder on Baili Yue's face that he saw yesterday also proved this. Rong Mingxuan felt more and more depressed and quickened his pace.

In the inn, Baili Yue curled up in a corner, her face pale and more haggard than yesterday. She had expected Brother Ye Hua to come and save her, but in the end she only waited for disappointment and endless tears. She felt like an abandoned commodity, and the pain in her heart made her unable to calm down. "Why... Why did my brother do this to me..." She sobbed softly, her shoulders shaking slightly.

Baili Ye's betrayal was like the final blow, completely crushing her heart and plunging her into endless darkness. "Why..." Baili Yue whispered in a low voice, her eyes were dry, but the pain in her heart was still sharp. The long cry exhausted her strength, her body was numb from the cold and hunger, and her consciousness gradually blurred.

At that moment when she almost lost hope, she raised her head with great effort, her eyes swept across the closed door, and finally fell on the flickering candlelight on the table...

On the other side, Rong Mingxuan's face was as cold as winter, and his subordinates could feel his anger about to explode. At this time, the black-clad guard who went out to get information hurriedly returned and reported to him: "Sir, I have not been able to find the whereabouts of that woman. But I found that the innkeeper is very skilled and seems to be someone who practices martial arts frequently."

An ordinary inn, but with an unusual guardian, Rong Mingxuan's brows were furrowed even tighter. After a moment, he ordered, "Prepare for action, we will storm the inn!"

However, just as they were about to act, a hurried shout was suddenly heard: "Sir, something bad has happened, the inn is on fire!" Rong Mingxuan was startled and jumped up in an instant, running towards the source of the fire.

"Yue'er..." This name echoed in his mind. Looking at the thick smoke rising in front of him, Rong Mingxuan rushed into the sea of ​​fire without hesitation. Seeing this, the guards who followed him immediately followed.

"Yue'er! Where are you?" He shouted in the smoke, his heart full of worry and fear. There was no one in the empty inn, which made him even more worried that someone had set the fire to cover up something. Every second of waiting was like a knife, cutting his heart.

"Yue'er! Answer me!" Regardless of the danger, he continued to search deeper, hoping to hear that familiar voice responding.

Rong Mingxuan was anxious to find Baili Yue, he was sure that the woman was her. In his haste, he ignored etiquette and rushed directly into the inn, searching room by room.

When he kicked open a door, a cold light suddenly slashed towards his throat, intending to kill him. Rong Mingxuan was instantly alert, quickly took a step back, and quickly pulled out a dagger from his waist to block the attack.

The sound of metal collision was loud and clear as the swords collided, and his palms were numb from the vibration. The thick smoke obstructed his vision, but Rong Mingxuan still recognized that the attacker was wearing a black veil and holding a Miao Dao. His movements were swift and deadly, and he was obviously a master.

Rong Mingxuan fought with all his might, cold sweat oozing out of his forehead.

"Sir!" Upon seeing this, the accompanying black-clad guards immediately stepped forward to assist.

The man with the knife realized something was wrong and immediately turned around and fled the scene.

Rong Mingxuan's face was gloomy, and he ordered: "Chase!"

"Yes!" The guard responded and left.

Rong Mingxuan continued to look for Baili Yue in the inn. He knew that the first priority was to ensure her safety. At this moment, he had no time to care about anything else and quickened his pace.

Baili Yue woke up in the thick smoke, and her last memory was that she set the bed curtains on fire. She was choked and coughed, and was forcibly pulled up and dragged away while she was in a daze.

She opened her eyes and found that it was Kuishili's maid, so she struggled hard. "Where are you taking me? Ahem... let me go!"

The maid was full of hatred for Baili Yue. If she hadn't set the fire, they wouldn't have been exposed. In order to prevent Baili Yue from making any sound, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and took her away forcefully.

"Mmmmm..." Baili Yue tried to resist. This was a good opportunity to escape.

"Yue'er!" An anxious voice called out in the thick smoke.

Baili Yue felt that this voice was familiar, someone was calling her name. She tried to look up.

I saw a figure emerging from the smoke, sword in hand, face stern.
