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

Baili Yue was filled with worry, fearing that Yunzi would misunderstand her just like Aliang did.

"Yunzi..." she called softly.

Ye Yunzi lowered her eyes slightly, her voice slightly hoarse, "I believe you."

Hearing this, Baili Yue almost cried. Someone was willing to believe her, how precious it was to her. "Yunzi, my mother really didn't poison anyone!"

When talking about the death of Concubine Xian, Ye Yunzi opened her mouth to speak, but felt that the words were heavy and difficult to speak. She also heard the news that Concubine Xian committed suicide. Although she didn't know the specific reason, she knew that Concubine Xian did get the poison from Doctor Tao.

"But, Empress Xian did die from the Snake Bone Powder." Baili Yue explained anxiously, trying to make Yunzi understand the truth.

"What did you say? Snake Bone Powder?" Ye Yunzi was surprised.

Baili Yue was puzzled by her reaction and patiently explained: "Yes, the imperial physician confirmed after examination that Concubine Xian was poisoned by the snake bone powder."

"Snake Bone Powder..." Ye Yunzi muttered to herself, lost in thought. Because as far as she knew, the drug that Doctor Tao gave to Concubine Xian was not this deadly poison. Once taken, Snake Bone Powder would be fatal in less than a moment, and even a miracle doctor would not be able to save her. Obviously, Doctor Tao would not give such a dangerous drug.

"Yunzi, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that her friend looked unhappy, Baili Yue asked with concern.

Ye Yunzi frowned and said in a serious tone: "It seems that someone deliberately attacked Concubine Xian and wanted to kill her."

"Who is it?" Baili Yue felt a chill and her body unconsciously tightened.

"It's not clear yet, but it must be someone in the palace, and it is very likely someone around Concubine Xian who had the opportunity to take action." Ye Yunzi analyzed.

"No, that's impossible!" Baili Yue shook her head in denial. She knew very well that the maids around Concubine Xian were loyal to her and would never betray her.

"Unless it's an inside job, there's no way for an outsider to get close to Concubine Xian." Ye Yunzi's expression became even more serious.

Baili Yue thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "My father has issued an order that outsiders are not allowed to approach Concubine Xian, and he has also arranged heavy guards. It is extremely difficult for outsiders to sneak in."

Baili Yue was relieved to learn that someone else had done it to Concubine Xian. If it was really her mother who did it, she didn't know if she could bear it. Her brother Ye Hua's betrayal had broken her heart, and if even her most trusted mother deceived her, she would have no place to place her trust.

In this world, her only support is her brother Ye Hua and her mother. Now that one has left her, she cannot lose the other.

Baili Yue raised her head, her eyes full of determination: "Yunzi, I must find out the real murderer who killed Concubine Xian and clear my mother's name."

Ye Yunzi looked at her, feeling sorry for her, and sighed, "The people in Concubine Xian's palace have long since dispersed. It's not easy to find evidence."

"I know this road is not easy, but I have no choice." Baili Yue lowered her eyes, trying to hide the pain in her heart. Aliang's cold words still hurt her heart.

"Yunzi, I want to go back to the palace and stop running away. After returning to the palace, I swear to find out the murderer who poisoned Empress Xian." At this moment, Baili Yue felt unprecedentedly determined. She once longed to stay away from the palace disputes, but now, she had a reason to go back.

Seeing that her friend had made up her mind, Ye Yunzi stopped trying to dissuade her. Instead, she held her hand tightly and said, "Yue'er, promise me one thing, okay?"

"Anything is fine. You are my best friend, Yunzi, just tell me."

"Promise me that when you encounter danger, you must protect yourself first and don't act rashly." Ye Yunzi looked at her seriously, her eyes full of concern.

Baili Yue smiled gently, rested her forehead on Ye Yunzi's shoulder, and promised quietly: "I promise you that I will never put myself in danger."

Outside the house, Ah Liang stood quietly against the wall and heard everything. She originally came to return the earrings, but accidentally learned important information - it was not Concubine Wu who killed Concubine Xian, but someone else. Thinking of this, Ah Liang's face became gloomy, and the pearl in her hand was held tighter.

Afterwards, Aliang performed Qinggong and quietly left, leaving only a small pearl on the ground. Inside the house, Ye Yunzi covered Baili Yue with a blanket and gently comforted her: "Go to sleep, don't think too much."

"Yeah." Baili Yue responded lightly, and the two soon fell into silence. Ye Yunzi closed her eyes.

It was late at night and a faint voice broke the silence. Ye Yunzi frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes.

There was a noise coming from outside. Ye Yunzi pricked up her ears alertly. The sound gradually became clearer, as if someone was fighting outside.

She quickly stood up, put on her shoes, grabbed the cloak beside her and put it on her shoulders. The noise woke Baili Yue up, and she rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, "Yunzi, what happened?"

"There are strange noises outside." Ye Yunzi replied briefly.

Baili Yue tried to listen, but heard nothing. "Did you hear it wrong?" she asked doubtfully.

"I'll go out and take a look, you continue to sleep." Ye Yunzi said softly, but she felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart, perhaps it was related to the prying eyes during the day.

"It's dark outside, I'd better go with you." Baili Yue insisted on getting up.

"It's cold outside. You're wearing too little. Don't catch a cold." Ye Yunzi advised, "I'll be back soon."

Baili Yue hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed to stay in the house.

Ye Yunzi wrapped her cloak tightly around her and pushed the door open. There was indeed a sound of fighting in the distance, although it was blurry but real. She frowned unconsciously and held the cloak in her hand tighter.

Suddenly, a dull noise broke the silence of the night. Although the sound was not loud, it was more obvious than the previous fighting sound.

"I heard it too!" Baili Yue rushed out of the house, "What's going on?"

"I don't know." Ye Yunzi replied with a frown.

"Could it be those people..." Baili Yue's face turned pale, and she clutched Ye Yunzi's arm in fear, "Are they here to look for me?"

Ye Yunzi's heart sank, and she didn't dare to respond easily. If the princess's identity was exposed, Baili Ye and his people would not let it go. Their target was Baili Yue, and they wanted to take her back as a hostage.

Seeing Baili Yue's frightened look, Ye Yunzi comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, the soldiers sent by General Rong will protect us. The Ye Mansion is impregnable, and you will be fine."

Baili Yue nodded, but still looked around nervously, her eyes full of worry.

In the darkness, the shadows of the trees seemed to have turned into devil's hands reaching out to her. She huddled up tightly, hiding behind Ye Yunzi, her body trembling with fear.

In another corner,

Kui Muzhu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance through the wooden window. The capital was silent under the night sky, with only the occasional sparks in the northwest embellishing the night like stars. Seeing all this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes lit up with ambition.

"We will be able to welcome Princess Thirteen back soon."
