"Isn't the humiliation I've endured over the years not as much as your small sacrifice?" Baili Ye's voice was cold, and every word seemed to be releasing the depression in his heart.

Baili Yue was frightened and stared at him blankly, at a loss as to what to do.

"No matter what you think, you have to stay here as a hostage. After I take the throne, I will come to take you back. Don't think about running away. If you want to see your mother, just stay here obediently." His tone was full of warning.

Baili Yue was so scared that she burst into tears, curled up into a ball, tears streaming down her face.

Looking at her, Baili Ye felt a little regretful. He knew that he was too excited just now, but now that things have come to this, he must be tough.

Finally, he let go of her hand, stood up and said, "Have a good rest." Then he turned around and prepared to leave.

When he was about to leave, he found that there was another person next to him - Ye Yunzi, who witnessed everything silently.

Baili Ye's eyes fell on Ye Yunzi and he said softly, "Long time no see."

Ye Yunzi frowned slightly, not expecting to meet him at this moment. There seemed to be thousands of words between the two, but at this moment, nothing could be said.

Ye Yunzi did not feel any joy of reunion in her heart. After all, she had once made him fall.

She raised her head and raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Long time no see, Fourth Prince. However, this title may not be appropriate now."

"Ye Yunzi!" Baili Ye gritted his teeth. He was annoyed by the calm look of the woman in front of him.

This was the first time he suffered at the hands of a woman. He had intended to make good use of her abilities, but she tricked him and ran away. He had never tolerated people who betrayed him.

"You escaped from my house before, and now you are trapped again..." Baili Ye approached with a sneer. "This is simply a godsend. With you by my side, my path to the throne seems to be smoother."

Ye Yunzi frowned, thinking to herself that something was wrong. She had already guessed his intention.

When Baili Ye walked up to her, he looked down at her, narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "As long as you are obedient, maybe I can spare your life."

As expected, he wanted to use her power - the ability to predict the future. But what he didn't know was that she didn't have this ability, but rebirth gave her a chance to start over.

"You can't run away this time, Ye Yunzi. If you dare to escape again, I will not let you off easily." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Baili Ye's eyes.

Power is of utmost importance to him and he will do whatever it takes to get it.

"Choose, help me ascend the throne, or die here."

Baili Ye's eyes were cold and oppressive, as if he was waiting for her response. Ye Yunzi knew that she couldn't get away at this moment, so she had to agree first, hoping to buy time for rescue.

"I don't want to die. I'm willing to help you. I hope you can give me a way out when the time comes." She said sincerely, almost convincing herself.

Baili Ye nodded with satisfaction. To her, truth or falsehood didn’t matter. She was just a chess piece. If she was useful, she would be kept; if she was useless, she would be discarded.

"Very good, smart choice."

"Get up and follow me."

Ye Yunzi slowly stood up. Her legs were numb from being restrained for so long, but she gritted her teeth and stood firm. She glanced at Baili Yue not far away, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but the words got stuck in her throat and she didn't know how to speak.

Baili Yue saw Ye Yunzi was about to be taken away and hurriedly wiped away her tears, "Yunzi, where are you going? Don't go..."

"You can't take her away!" Baili Yue raised her head and shouted at Baili Ye, "Where are you taking Yunzi?"

Baili Ye stopped and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't hurt her."

"This won't do..." Baili Yue stood up in a hurry and wanted to catch up. She couldn't let Yunzi make any mistakes, after all, all this happened because of her.

Ye Yunzi stopped her and shook her head.

"Yunzi, this is all my fault..." Baili Yue said with a guilty conscience.

"Don't worry, he won't do anything to me yet. Princess, you must take care of yourself and don't make yourself too tired." Ye Yunzi whispered to comfort her, "We just need to wait to be rescued."

Baili Yue raised her head and looked at her. Ye Yunzi's eyes were full of determination, a belief in being rescued. Baili Yue felt this confidence, and the fear in her heart slowly dissipated, and she nodded vigorously. "I know, I will take good care of myself."

"Yunzi, you must hold on..."

As she spoke, Baili Yue threw herself into Ye Yunzi's arms and hugged her tightly, as if this could prevent any bad things from happening. Ye Yunzi gently patted her back to comfort her.

Finally, Ye Yunzi let go of Baili Yue and followed Baili Ye out of the room. Baili Yue was the only one left in the room, surrounded by loneliness and coldness. She lay on the table, tears quietly falling. Why did Brother Ye Hua become like this...

She didn't care about glory and power, she just wanted to see her mother again and live together peacefully. But brother Ye Hua had changed, he only had the throne in his eyes, the gentle brother he once was no longer existed.

"So he wants to become the emperor..." Baili Yue finally understood everything.

At this time, a sneer came from the door. Baili Yue looked up and saw that it was the beautiful maid beside Kuimuzhu. The maid smiled unabashedly, with a mocking look on her face.

"Have you discovered his ambition only now? He is indeed a flower in a greenhouse, and even the human heart cannot be understood."

Baili Yue didn't like this woman. All he felt from her was hypocrisy.

The maid's words were not praise, but naked ridicule. Baili Yue didn't want to get entangled with her any more, so she ordered coldly: "Get out! No one is allowed to come in without my permission!"

However, the maid did not leave. Instead, she walked into the room and said with a smile: "Your Highness the Princess has a bad temper, but this is not the palace. You are just a hostage living under someone else's roof."

The maid's casual words angered Baili Yue like a needle prick.

Baili Yue's eyes sparked with anger, and she slammed the table, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to this princess like that?"

"Your Highness, please listen to me. This is not the place for you to act like a spoiled child or lose your temper. As a hostage, you should know your limits." The maid sneered, not taking Baili Yue seriously at all.

Baili Yue clenched his fists in anger.

The strong fragrance of the maid made Baili Yue frown. "What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me? Leave if you've had enough."

The maid smiled and responded, "That's right."

Approaching Baili Yue, the maid's hand gently slid across her cheek, her tone cold: "Because of you, I suffered a lot and almost broke one of my hands. Tell me, how can I thank you?"

A trace of resentment flashed in the maid's eyes, and her nails lightly scratched Baili Yue's face.

Baili Yue felt pain, and instinctively struggled and exclaimed: "What do you want to do!"
