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

"Yeah." Baili Yue nodded, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, "She is the queen in the palace, and she is very kind... Unfortunately..." When she said this, her voice was a little choked. She remembered that when the news of Concubine Xian's death from poisoning came, the whole palace seemed to be shrouded in a haze.

Although some people said that it was her mother who did it, she never believed it. It was not until her mother was demoted that she was told the truth - that she was innocent.

Now, everything about Empress Xian has become an unsolvable mystery, along with those unanswered questions, buried deeply in the corner of memory.

Ah Liang's hands unconsciously clenched, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes. When she learned the news of Empress Xian's death, she could hardly bear the loss. Even now, when it was late at night, Ah Liang would always think of Empress Xian, and the regret in her heart never dissipated.

"I want to learn how to make silk lace as a souvenir." Baili Yue said softly, "If you have more important things to do, forget it."

Aliang's eyes gradually softened. When she heard Baili Yue mention Concubine Xian, she became less defensive. "Okay, I'll teach you." She agreed softly.

"Thank you." Baili Yue showed a grateful smile, "I don't know your name yet?"

"My name is Aliang."

"I am the Thirteenth Princess, my name is Baili Yue." Baili Yue replied, seemingly unaware of what her identity meant to Aliang.

"The Thirteenth Princess?" Aliang was slightly surprised and re-examined the woman in front of him who had a special connection with Concubine Xian.

Baili Yue simply nodded, "Yes, do you know me?"

Aliang's face suddenly turned cold, and her eyes were as cold as ice in winter. "Is your mother Concubine Wu?" Her voice was like an icy blade, piercing people's hearts.

Baili Yue involuntarily took a step back. Facing Aliang's cold gaze, she felt frightened and was speechless for a moment.

"Noble Concubine Wu murdered Concubine Xian." Aliang's voice was filled with undisguised anger, and the tremor between her words exposed the turmoil in her heart. Although the secrets in the palace were strictly sealed, there were always leaks. After inquiring from many sources, Aliang learned that Noble Concubine Wu was exiled for poisoning Concubine Xian and was forced to go to the temple to repent.

She was filled with anger and wanted to ask Concubine Wu why she wanted to attack Concubine Xian, but she couldn't find her whereabouts. Now, the woman in front of her was the daughter of the person she hated.

"Your mother killed Concubine Xian, and you dare to mention her name here?" Aliang clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, his shoulders trembled slightly, and his eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he could see through people.

Baili Yue huddled up in fear. "No, it wasn't my mother! She never poisoned anyone!" She argued eagerly, tears in her eyes, her face pale, and she looked extremely helpless. "My mother was also a victim, it really wasn't her..."

Ah Liang gritted his teeth and tried to suppress his anger, fearing that he would lose control if he was not careful. "You said it was not Concubine Wu who poisoned you. What evidence do you have?"

"I... I don't have any evidence... but my mother told me before she left that she didn't do it." Baili Yue said in a trembling voice, trying to hold back tears.

Aliang sneered, "Can her innocence be proven with just one sentence?"

"It's true! Mother never lies to me. It definitely wasn't her who poisoned me!" Baili Yue raised her head and looked at Aliang firmly. Even though tears had already slid down her cheeks, her eyes did not waver.

Ah Liang stared at the seemingly weak princess. Although her heart was not softened, she knew that she should not vent her anger on an innocent person. She took a deep breath and said calmly, "Go away and don't come again."

"Aliang..." Baili Yue stretched out her hand to keep him, but Aliang gently moved aside.

Baili Yue's hands stopped in the air, tears of grievance welled up in her eyes. At this moment, the door creaked open, she hurriedly wiped her tears, turned around and ran away.

Aliang was silent for a moment. Ye Heng walked out of the room, frowning slightly, "What happened?"

"It's nothing, someone just broke in by mistake and almost disturbed you." Aliang answered softly, avoiding talking about his encounter with Princess Thirteen.

Ye Heng glanced at him and stopped asking, "Let Chen Quan keep watch at night, you go and have some rest."

"Yes." Aliang replied with his head lowered.

When she lowered her head, her eyes caught sight of a small bead on the ground, which was gleaming in the light of the lantern. Picking it up, she saw that it looked like it had fallen off the ornament on Baili Yue's earlobe. She sighed and muttered, "How annoying."

When Baili Yue returned to the room, Ye Yunzi noticed her red eyes and immediately asked her the reason. "What's wrong? Did something happen?" Baili Yue tried to cover it up, saying that it was just because the wind and sand blew into her eyes while she was walking, and she rubbed them for a long time.

But Ye Yunzi didn't think so. She frowned. She knew that it couldn't be caused by rubbing. However, seeing that Baili Yue didn't want to talk more, she stopped asking and said gently, "The bed is ready. Take the medicine quickly and go to bed early. Doctor Tao said you need to rest well and don't think too much."

Baili Yue nodded obediently, took the medicine bowl handed to her by Yu Shu, drank it all in one breath, then lay down obediently and closed her eyes. Ye Yunzi signaled to Yu Shu to turn off the lights and leave.

It was late at night, but Baili Yue tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Aliang's words and his cold eyes kept echoing in her mind. Would her mother really do such a thing?

"No, it won't happen." She said to herself firmly, believing that her mother would not deceive her. So, who was the one who murdered Concubine Xian?

She opened her eyes wide and looked at the bed curtains, her thoughts in a mess. At this time, Ye Yunzi's voice came softly, "Yue'er, are you still awake?" Obviously, she was also awake and had been paying attention to Baili Yue's condition.

"I'm sorry, did I disturb you?" Baili Yue said apologetically.

"I haven't slept yet either." Ye Yunzi turned around to face Baili Yue and suggested softly, "If you want, you can tell me what's bothering you. Maybe I can help you share some of your worries."

"I..." Baili Yue felt the warmth and couldn't help but burst into tears again. Ye Yunzi wiped her tears gently with a handkerchief and comforted her: "Don't cry, your eyes will swell if you cry any more."

In this moment of warmth, Baili Yue finally couldn't help but reveal all the confusion in her heart and Concubine Wu's last words before her death. "Yunzi, I believe my mother would not lie to me. She did not poison Concubine Xian... What do you think?" She looked at Ye Yunzi with a glimmer of hope, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Ye Yunzi was silent for a moment, her eyes showing deep thought. She did not answer immediately, as if she was weighing the weight of every word.
