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

He turned around and said slowly to Baili Ye: "Thanks to your assistance, Fourth Prince, we were able to successfully lead Rong Mingxuan away, and our plan was able to go so smoothly."

Baili Ye, who was sitting opposite him, looked a little nervous. He was originally skeptical about Kuimuzhu's ability to bring Yue'er back, but now he understood where his confidence came from.

"What is that?" he asked, his eyes falling on a small stone in Kuimuzhu's hand - it was shiny black and round like a pearl.

When he learned that this small stone could actually blast the stone wall, Baili Ye's eyes were both fiery and vigilant. "Black flint?" He repeated in surprise, unconsciously keeping a distance from the table, fearing that this dangerous little object would suddenly explode.

Kuimuzhu chuckled and explained that the black firestone would not explode easily unless it was hit hard. "Don't worry, Fourth Prince."

Hearing this, Baili Ye's curiosity was completely ignited. Compared with welcoming Yue'er back, he was more concerned about this new discovery that could change the situation of the war. If he could master this power, then both the solid armor and the city walls would be vulnerable. He even thought to himself that with the black flint, seizing the throne would no longer be an unattainable dream.

He stared at the black flint on the table. This seemingly ordinary little black stone was worth more than gold in his eyes.

Kuimuzhu felt Bailiye's fiery gaze, narrowed his eyes slightly, and put the black flint in his hand into his sleeve. "This black flint is the result of my years of hard work. Your Highness, please forgive me for not telling you."

"I am willing to pay any price, even a sky-high price, to get the secret recipe of black flint! As long as you open your mouth, I can give you anything!" Baili Ye was anxious, and this magical invention in front of him made him excited.

Kui Muzhu sneered, "Your Highness, don't worry about it. I have gone through countless hardships to develop this thing, how can I transfer it easily? However, perhaps we can work together in the future." An elusive light flashed in his eyes.

Hearing this, Baili Ye seemed to be awakened by a bucket of cold water. He knew very well that it was not appropriate to force it now, and it would not be too late to make plans after he ascended the throne. He secretly vowed that one day he would make Kuimuzhu voluntarily hand over the secret recipe.

On the surface, he smiled and said easily, "In that case, I won't ask any more questions. Let's talk about future cooperation in detail."

"Yes, the most important thing now is to ensure the princess's safety." When Baili Yue was mentioned, Baili Ye frowned slightly, "Will this be dangerous to her?"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness. They will not hurt a single hair of the princess." Kui Muzhu comforted.

Suddenly, there was a fierce fighting sound outside, getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere in the Ye Mansion suddenly became tense. Ye Yunzi realized that this group of people came for Baili Yue and tried to kidnap the princess under the cover of night. The whole Ye family was alarmed, the lights were on, and the servants asked what happened.

"Madam, please stay in the room. I will go and take a look at the situation." said a maid.

Although General Rong sent elite troops to guard, Ye Yunzi still felt uneasy, especially when she heard a dull crash in the distance, her worries deepened.

"Will they break in?" Baili Yue grabbed the corner of Ye Yunzi's clothes tightly, his voice trembling with fear.

The next moment, she thought of the trouble she might bring to the Ye family. Her face turned pale as snow, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. "Have I caused you too much trouble... If the Ye family suffers because of this..."

On this night full of dangers, everyone's heart was in their throat.

Baili Yue felt very upset. The Ye family treated her like a family member. If she was hurt because of her, she would never forgive herself. If she had known this would happen, she should not have hidden here.

She bit her lip, her heart full of regret. If these people were really coming for her, she would rather walk out by herself than get the Ye family into trouble.

"Yunzi, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, none of this would have happened..." Baili Yue said softly, loosening her hand that was tightly grasping the corner of Ye Yunzi's clothes and taking a step back, "Yunzi, I..."

Ye Yunzi immediately understood her intention and was worried that Bailiyue wanted to sacrifice herself to divert the enemy. She held Bailiyue tightly and said seriously: "Don't let your imagination run wild! General Rong's men are not vegetarians. They are all elite soldiers and will not let the bad guys succeed."

"But..." Baili Yue wanted to say something.

"Just stay here peacefully." Ye Yunzi pushed Baili Yue into the house and closed the door. "Don't even think about leaving. General Rong has gone to great lengths to rescue you. We can't let all this go to waste."

Ye Yunzi was determined. No matter what happened, she would not let Bailiyue leave. Bailiyue was locked in the room, slowly sliding down to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

Even though her brother could easily give up on her, Yunzi chose to protect her, even though it might bring risks to the Ye family. This friendship deeply touched Baili Yue's heart, and she huddled up with her knees hugged.

Yu Shu and Leng Xue's anxious voices came from outside the door: "Miss, are you okay?" Seeing that Ye Yunzi was safe and sound, they breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, you are okay..."

Leng Xue's face was solemn: "A group of masters broke into the mansion. They have extraordinary martial arts skills and are difficult to deal with."

"Miss, please hide quickly!" Yu Shu was so anxious that she jumped up and down.

Ye Yunzi remained calm and ordered, "You two should quickly escort mother to uncle and ensure her safety."

"What are you going to do, miss?" Yu Shu opened her eyes wide.

"General Rong's men are guarding here, so nothing will happen. You guys go quickly, I want to ensure my mother's safety." Ye Yunzi said firmly.

Although reluctant, the two still obeyed the order. Before leaving, Leng Xue handed Ye Yunzi a dagger and said, "Miss, find a safe place to hide as soon as possible. There are many experts in the young master's courtyard, especially Aliang, who will protect the princess's safety."

Ye Yunzi was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that Ye Heng was not only accompanied by Aliang, but also other guards. Leng Xue's words made her realize that this place was safer than she thought.

"I understand. You guys go quickly." Leng Xue nodded slightly and left quickly with Yu Shu.

Ye Yunzi thought for a moment and decided to seek shelter at Ye Heng's residence. Although she didn't want to inconvenience him, at this critical moment, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go find him. When she was about to summon Baili Yue in the house——

Suddenly, a dark figure fell from the sky, spitting blood and stumbling forward. "Princess, run away..." Before he could finish his words, he fell to the ground. Ye Yunzi looked at the charred and bloody wound on the guard's chest in horror, and her heart sank: It was too late.
