On the other side, Ye Yunzi slowly woke up, with severe pain in the back of her neck and an unusually heavy body. She found herself in darkness, with her hands and feet tied up. It turned out that she was locked in a sack. She struggled for a long time without success, and the dagger hidden in her sleeve disappeared. In the end, she could only give up struggling and squat quietly in the sack.

Soon, there was a noise, followed by Baili Yue's frightened voice: "Ah! Let me go! Where is this?"

Ye Yunzi recognized the voice and responded softly: "Yue'er, I'm here."

Baili Yue was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Yunzi? Is that you?"

"It's me." Ye Yunzi responded briefly.

"Yunzi..." Bailiyue's voice was trembling and fearful. "Are we captured? Are you trapped in the sack too?"

"That's right." Ye Yunzi's answer was equally brief. She was tied tightly in a sack and couldn't see what was happening outside. She just hoped that her family would find them and rescue them as soon as possible.

Suddenly, the door hinges creaked and someone pushed the door open.

Realizing that there might be danger, Baili Yue immediately shut up, not daring to make another sound, and looked ahead vigilantly.

Soon, the sack was untied. The glaring light made Ye Yunzi unconsciously cover her eyes with her hands. The bright light in the room made her feel uncomfortable.

"Why are there two?" a rough voice asked, obviously confused by the two people in front of him, "Which one is the princess?"

"I can't tell them apart, so I brought both of them here. Anyway, one of them is the princess." The man in black said coldly. Ye Yunzi recognized at a glance that this was the person who hurt Aliang. Her last memory was when Aliang was hit by the black flint and her body was stained with blood.

"Aliang..." When Ye Yunzi said this name, she was full of worry. She clenched her fists and tried to calm herself down, believing that Aliang must have avoided the vital points and would be fine. But the power of the black flint was so great that it was enough to blow up the ground. If it really hit someone...

There was a noise outside the door, followed by an anxious male voice: "Where are the people?"

"Inside, Your Highness, please rest assured, the princess is unharmed." another person replied.

Hearing the familiar voice, Baili Yue's body trembled slightly, and she looked up at the door. Baili Ye walked over quickly, and when he saw her, he said anxiously: "Yue'er!"

Baili Yue's eyes dimmed instantly. Her most trusted brother had actually handed her over to the enemy. The person who hurt her the most was actually her closest relative.

She turned her head away, unwilling to meet his eyes.

Baili Ye approached, squatted down, gently held Baili Yue's shoulders, and carefully checked whether she was injured. "Yue'er, you suffered, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Faced with Baili Yue's indifference, Baili Ye felt a pain in his heart.

Baili Yue's face looked particularly thin, with a pointed chin and a complexion as pale as paper, which made people feel pity for her.

"Yue'er, it's all brother's fault. I was wrong... Please don't ignore me. Can you say something?" There was a hint of begging in Baili Ye's voice.

Baili Yue slowly turned around and looked directly at Baili Ye for the first time. Seeing this, a glimmer of hope immediately appeared on his face, and he was about to speak, "Yue'er..."

However, Baili Yue's eyes were filled with indifference and resentment. "Go away, I don't want to see you again." Her voice was cold, as if every word was chilling. She had been looking forward to her brother's appearance day and night, but he never showed up, and instead pushed her into a desperate situation. In her opinion, being given away to others was worse than dying.

Seeing the deep hatred in his sister's eyes, Baili Ye's smile gradually disappeared and his expression became nervous. "Yue'er, listen to me..."

"I won't listen! Baili Ye, I don't want to see you again, you are no longer my brother!" Baili Yue shook off his hand, as if touching him any longer would defile herself.

"Yue'er..." Baili Ye felt flustered. He knew Yue'er was angry and thought that he could solve the problem by coaxing her, but he didn't expect her to be so determined.

"Yue'er, I have no choice but to do this. In order to fulfill my promise to reunite you with your mother, I have no choice but to do this."

"What to do? Give my own sister away?" Baili Yue said gritting her teeth. This sentence almost made her breathless, and her chest felt like it was being pressed down by a heavy object.

"No! How could I bear to do that... You are my only relative in the world, how could I possibly send you away..."

"You should know how much I love you. I am willing to fulfill any of your wishes... I will even pick the stars in the sky for you. No one in this world loves you more than I do."

Baili Ye's voice was trembling, his eyes were full of sincerity and guilt. Baili Yue's heart trembled slightly, her nose felt sore, and she almost cried.

Of course she knew her brother's love. That was why when she was sent to Kuimuzhu, she felt like her whole world had collapsed. The humiliation was like a brand engraved on her, making her wish she could die immediately.

"Why...if that's the case, why did you give me to Kui Muzhu?" she asked in a low voice, her voice full of confusion and pain.

Baili Ye held Baili Yue's hand tightly and looked at her firmly. "I need soldiers and horses. Only with enough soldiers can I take back the throne."

"Kui Muzhu requires you to be a hostage as a condition for borrowing troops."

"Borrow troops?" Baili Yue raised his head in surprise, as if he was drenched in cold water from head to toe, and his whole body was cold.

It turned out that she had given herself to Kuimuzhu in order to borrow troops. The person closest to her actually pushed her to others for power.

"Heh." Baili Yue sneered, and then the laughter gradually got out of control and turned into an almost crazy laugh, tears involuntarily sliding down her cheeks.

"It turns out that all this was done to borrow troops..."

Baili Yue angrily shouted at Baili Ye: "How can you be so cruel! I have always trusted you and foolishly believed that you would take me out to see my mother. I didn't expect that I was just a pawn in your hands!"

"Yue'er, listen to me!" Baili Ye grabbed her hand and tried to explain, "This is only a temporary solution. When I become emperor, I will definitely bring you back. This is just a short separation."

"Let me go!" Baili Yue struggled to free herself from his hand, then slapped him hard. "Get out! I don't want to see you again!"

This slap made Baili Ye's face instantly red and swollen. He originally wanted to persuade her patiently, but her lack of understanding made him feel extremely frustrated.

Baili Ye's eyes became fierce, and the people around him seemed to be able to feel the chill he was emitting. Baili Yue couldn't help but shrink back, she had never seen him look so scary.

He approached her, held her shoulders tightly and said, "I do this for all of us! Only when I become the emperor can I bring your mother back to the capital and let you continue to live a good life."
