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

Rong Mingxuan held a jade ring tightly in his hand, which was a common ornament used by the Fourth Prince. It was obvious that someone had been hiding here. He knew in his heart that this ring proved that the Fourth Prince had indeed been here.

The officers and soldiers searched the entire house carefully, even the most hidden corners, but found nothing except the ring. Someone had once been hiding here, but now there are only empty rooms and lost hopes.

"Sir, there is nothing else found." Zhang Li sighed as he reported. They were almost about to catch the Fourth Prince, but unfortunately they fell just short.

In order to hunt down the Fourth Prince, they had been working in the capital for several days without any rest. Rong Mingxuan clenched the jade ring in his hand and said in a cold voice: "Let's go back and continue to search the entire capital. We must find the Fourth Prince even if we have to turn over every inch of land!"

Although this search yielded no results, it at least confirmed that the Fourth Prince was still in the capital, and this ring was the key evidence. As long as the search continued, he would be found one day.

Suddenly, a cavalryman came in a hurry and reported to Rong Mingxuan breathlessly: "Sir, something bad has happened! We intercepted a suspicious carriage at the city gate, and there are people hiding inside!"

Rong Mingxuan was shocked and felt that the matter was not simple. "The man died shortly after being caught. There was black blood in his mouth. It was obvious that he committed suicide by taking poison." The soldier's voice was full of anxiety.

Rong Mingxuan immediately realized that these were the Fourth Prince's men, and they were trying to escape from the capital. "It seems that they want to escape from the city by hiding in the cargo." His expression became gloomy, "Have there been other carriages leaving the city before?"

"There are...several..." the soldier replied stutteringly.

"When did they leave?"

"About a quarter of an hour ago..."

Rong Mingxuan quickly ordered: "Zhang Li, lead your men to chase immediately! If we move quickly, we may be able to catch up with the carriages leaving the city."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!" Zhang Li hurriedly mobilized people and prepared to go out of the city to chase after him. The Fourth Prince must be captured as soon as possible.

Rong Mingxuan's face was heavy: "From now on, all vehicles leaving the city will be strictly inspected."

"Yes, I understand."

The officers and soldiers knew that this negligence could lead to serious consequences. If the Fourth Prince really escaped, they would face severe punishment. Now they could only hope that Lord Zhang could successfully intercept and bring back the Fourth Prince.

Rong Mingxuan did not dare to relax at all, knowing that he had to keep a hand in everything. The fourth prince might not have fled the capital, but was still hiding somewhere.

If he really escaped from the city in a carriage... Rong Mingxuan frowned, his face grim. No matter where he escaped to, he would find him. This was not only to obey the emperor's order, but also for Yue'er's safety.

Sending Yue'er as a hostage, the Fourth Prince's behavior was simply infuriating. Fortunately, Yue'er was safe and sound, otherwise he would never let this person off easily.

At this time, in the courtyard of the Ye family, Ye Yunzi and Baili Yue knew nothing about these things. Baili Yue was sitting leisurely on the swing, savoring the sweet soup, enjoying every bite.

Because the ancestors of the Ye family came from the south, the mansion hired a famous chef from Jiangnan to cook a variety of desserts, which made Baili Yue feel that the food here was more delicious than that in the palace. The meals in the palace were often cold when they were sent to her, and were far less delicious than the hot food just out of the oven.

Ye Yunzi quietly watched Baili Yue's innocent smile under the eaves, and a gentle smile also appeared on her face. She looked up at the sky, wondering when General Rong would arrive. The sun was already setting, and time was gradually approaching dusk, but he was still nowhere to be seen.

"Miss, General Rong sent someone to deliver a letter!" The maid Yu Shu came running over to report.

Ye Yunzi took the letter and opened it. Baili Yue beside her also stopped swinging and asked anxiously, "Is Rong Mingxuan going to take me back to the palace?"

In fact, Baili Yue didn't want to return to the palace so soon, but she didn't want to cause inconvenience to Ye Yunzi. When she learned that she could continue to stay in the Ye family, her expression was first surprised, and then full of joy.

"Great! I can stay a few more days!" Baili Yue was as happy as a child and held Ye Yunzi's hand tightly.

Then, she looked at Ye Yunzi with a little uneasiness, "Will I cause you too much trouble?"

Ye Yunzi patted her hands gently and comforted her, "No, you can stay as long as you want. I'm so happy to have a companion."

Baili Yue's cheeks flushed, "Yunzi, you are so kind."

After Baili Yue learned that she didn't have to return to the palace, she became particularly cheerful and laughed continuously. Her happy mood also infected the people around her, and everyone was moved by her smile. I originally thought that the princess would be a noble who was difficult to please, but I didn't expect Baili Yue to be as kind as a girl next door, making people unconsciously want to care for her.

At this time, good news came. The servant of the Ye Mansion reported excitedly: "Miss, the second master and his family are back."

"Uncle is back?" Baili Yue asked curiously.

"Yes, they have just arrived at the city gate. Madam is already preparing to greet them," the servant replied.

"I see. We need to prepare as well." Ye Yunzi nodded in response, and immediately called Yu Shu to help her tidy up her appearance and change into appropriate clothes.

It turned out that a month ago, Ye Luoan suddenly decided to go south, and hurriedly set off with Ye Heng and A Liang. This trip made Ye Yunzi suspicious. She always felt that her uncle had other purposes for this trip, but it was inconvenient to reveal this worry to her family, so she could only silently pray for their safe return. Now that she saw her uncle and his group return safely, Ye Yunzi finally let go of her worries and was filled with joy.

Baili Yue, who was standing aside, looked a little uneasy, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to speak. Ye Yunzi noticed her strangeness and asked gently, "What's wrong?"

"Can I...can I go and take a look together?" Baili Yue asked in a low voice, with a faint blush on her cheeks.

Considering that the princess's identity was no longer a secret, Ye Yunzi thought it would be okay to take her along. "Of course." She agreed with a smile.

Baili Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said shyly, "I just want to take a look from a distance. I won't cause you any trouble."

"Stop saying these polite words. We are friends." Ye Yunzi held Bailiyue's hand and said, "If you continue to be so polite, I will really have to call you princess."

"No, don't do that!" Baili Yue waved her hands hurriedly. She preferred to hear others call her Yue'er.

Seeing Baili Yue's serious expression, Ye Yunzi couldn't help but laugh. "Okay, Yue'er, let's go."

When the two walked to the front hall, Ye Luoan and his group were already there talking with their family members, and they looked in good spirits. Ye Yunzi stepped forward and greeted them, "Uncle."
