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

"Yue'er!" When Rong Mingxuan saw Baili Yue, a trace of fluctuation flashed in his eyes, and then he became more determined, swung his sword and rushed straight towards the maid.

No matter whether the person in front of him is a man or a woman, there is no difference in Rong Mingxuan's eyes.

Anyone who harms Baili Yue will die.

Suddenly, a group of uninvited guests broke into the inn, intending to take the Thirteenth Princess away. This sudden change shocked the maid, and before she could react, she was pierced through the shoulder by a long sword. The pain made her loosen her control over Baili Yue.

Seeing Baili Yue about to fall to the cold ground, a pair of strong arms caught her in time. She raised her head slightly, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Rong Mingxuan..."

Rong Mingxuan hugged the soft body in his arms tightly, and his heart tightened involuntarily when he heard her whisper. "Don't be afraid, Yue'er." Before he finished speaking, Baili Yue's vision gradually blurred and he eventually lost consciousness.

"Yue'er!" Rong Mingxuan was extremely anxious. He took her through the window without hesitation and disappeared into the night, completely ignoring the injured enemy behind him.

Time seemed to have frozen.

When Baili Yue woke up again, memories came flooding back: she remembered setting fire to the inn, and she remembered seeing Rong Mingxuan. "Ah!" She suddenly opened her eyes, and like a frightened little animal, her body curled up into a ball.

The door was pushed open, and Rong Mingxuan quickly appeared at the door. Seeing Baili Yue's frightened look, his heart ached. "Princess," he said in a gentle but firm voice.

Baili Yue carefully looked around to confirm that this was not the place where she was trapped before, and that Rong Mingxuan was not far away. She called out in a low voice: "Rong Mingxuan..."

He walked closer, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand: "Drink some of this first."

Baili Yue stared at the bitter black medicine in front of her, hesitated for a moment, but still pinched her nose and drank it in one breath. The bitter taste almost numbed her tongue.

Seeing this, Rong Mingxuan took out a piece of pear candy from somewhere and handed it to Baili Yue. The sweet taste instantly dispelled the bitterness in her mouth, and her tense brows finally relaxed.

Rong Mingxuan watched the changes in her expression, and the worries in his heart dissipated, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The room was silent, with only the sound of their breathing echoing softly.

Rong Mingxuan asked, "Why is the princess in that inn?"

Baili Yue held a pear candy in her mouth, twisting her sleeves nervously with her fingers, lowered her eyes, and her thoughts seemed to drift far away.

She remembered that it was Brother Ye Hua who took her out of the palace and placed her in that inn. Thinking of this, her eyes became dim.

"How did the princess leave the palace?" Rong Mingxuan asked, his eyes so sharp that he seemed to be able to see through her heart.

Baili Yue almost twisted her sleeves off, remained silent, and bit her lips tightly.

Seeing this, Rong Mingxuan sighed and decided not to press the issue any further. He knew that the truth would come out sooner or later. "Princess, please have a good rest. I will take you back to the palace tomorrow."

"No!" Baili Yue suddenly looked up and instinctively grabbed the corner of Rong Mingxuan's clothes: "I don't want to go back! I really don't want to..." Her voice trembled, and her eyes were full of fear and pleading.

"Why?" Rong Mingxuan frowned.

Baili Yue's body trembled slightly, her eyes were red, and tears welled up in her eyes. She felt she had nowhere to go, because even the person closest to her had betrayed her - her brother was going to hand her over to someone else. Now, the world seemed to have lost all its shelter for her.

"I don't want to go back to the palace... Don't send me back..." She said softly, grabbing Rong Mingxuan's sleeve even tighter, fearing that he would change his mind immediately.

Seeing her so helpless, Rong Mingxuan felt an urge to comfort and support her, but his reason told him not to do so, after all, there was an unbridgeable gap in status between them.

"Princess, the world outside is not safe, especially now that we don't know why those people are targeting you. I will personally escort you back to the palace tomorrow." He tried to make his tone softer.

"My brother brought me out..." Baili Yue's voice was filled with tears, and tears slid down her cheeks. "My brother brought me to that inn. The innkeeper was Kui Shili..."

Hearing this, Rong Mingxuan's face darkened: "Are you talking about the Fourth Prince?"

Baili Yue nodded.

"What is going on?" Rong Mingxuan asked.

As Baili Yue slowly told him about his experiences over the past two days, Rong Mingxuan's expression became increasingly grim. It turned out that the Fourth Prince had not only fled the palace, but was also hiding in Kyoto. What was even more infuriating was that he had colluded with foreign enemies and tried to achieve his ulterior motives by offering Baili Yue.

"Beast!" Rong Mingxuan was furious and deeply indignant at the Fourth Prince's behavior.

How could he do this? How could he deceive Yue'er?

Rong Mingxuan was furious, and a trace of blood flashed in his eyes. When he thought of the grievances that Baili Yue had suffered in the past two days, he wanted to tear Baili Ye into pieces immediately.

How could he send his own sister away as a hostage?

For Baili Yue, the closest people in the world are her mother and brother. Now that she has been betrayed by her brother, she must be filled with pain and despair.

Rong Mingxuan looked down at Baili Yue and saw her hunched shoulders, her face full of tear marks, her eyes swollen from crying, and her appearance made people feel distressed. His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone, and he could hardly breathe.

Baili Yue gently pulled the corner of Rong Mingxuan's clothes and whispered, "I don't want to go back."

"Princess..." Rong Mingxuan tried to comfort her gently, but when he saw her haggard appearance, his throat seemed to be choked by something and he couldn't say anything.

Returning to the palace seemed to be the only way out. As a princess, where else could she go except the palace? The outside world was full of unknown risks, and as long as Baili Ye was not caught, she would not be able to rest easy.

"Princess, tomorrow I will..."

"Sir!" Suddenly, the guard outside the house shouted anxiously.

Rong Mingxuan immediately became alert: "What's the matter?"

"We have caught a man who escaped from the inn. Would you like to interrogate him personally, sir?"

"Wait a minute." Rong Mingxuan was about to get up and leave, but he felt Baili Yue holding the corner of his clothes tightly. He stopped when he realized it.

"Princess, please take a rest for a while. I'll be back when I'm done with my business."

Baili Yue silently let go of her hand, lowered her head and said nothing. Rong Mingxuan felt sorry for her, but he knew there were more important things to do. In order to better protect Baili Yue, he had to find out the truth behind the inn incident as soon as possible.

After taking a look at the silent Baili Yue, Rong Mingxuan turned and left the room.

A burly man was tied up in the yard, with wounds all over his body and a defiant look in his eyes.

"Sir," the subordinate reported, "this man has poison hidden in his teeth. We have to remove his jaw to prevent him from committing suicide."
