Meanwhile, Baili Ye was standing in his palace, staring into the distance. He was filled with resentment, thinking that he was the most suitable candidate to inherit the throne, but his father chose the second prince. He secretly made up his mind to prove his worth and let everyone see his ability. To this end, he had secretly established a private army in Suzhou, preparing to launch a coup.

"Father, you forced me to do this..." He whispered, his eyes revealing determination and a hint of coldness. He believed that with years of careful preparation, this operation would definitely succeed. He ordered Xu Wei to go to Suzhou to prepare for the upcoming critical moment.

However, fate is always full of variables. Shen Yuming, a reborn man, has already seen through all of Baili Ye's plans. If he had known that this day would come, perhaps Baili Ye would have made a different choice.

On the other hand, the seventh prince Baili Yan became suspicious of his brother's actions and warned Rong Mingxuan to pay attention to the abnormality. Rong Mingxuan took quick action and found signs of increased cargo transportation to Suzhou after investigation. He immediately reported the situation to the emperor, who attached great importance to it and immediately summoned Baili Yan to go to Suzhou with Rong Mingxuan to deal with the matter.

Baili Yan was not too happy about the sudden appointment. He knew that this was not only a test for him, but also a challenge to his trust. Shen Yuming came to congratulate him, but Baili Yan just sneered in response, knowing that his father's trust seemed to be more inclined towards Rong Mingxuan.

Baili Yan had always believed that his father did not believe that he secretly raised soldiers in Suzhou. It was not until Rong Mingxuan mentioned this that his father was finally convinced. This made him so angry that the teacup in his hand was almost crushed.

Seeing this, Shen Yuming said softly, "Your Highness, the emperor sent you to lead the army, which is a recognition of your ability."

"Agree?" Baili Yan sneered, "If you really trust me, why would you let Mingxuan go with you? Isn't it obvious that you don't trust me?"

Shen Yuming knew exactly when and what to say to calm His Highness's anger. "Don't worry about this, Your Highness." He said softly, but he had other plans in mind.

Baili Yan's anger gradually dissipated. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he had to go to Suzhou with Rong Mingxuan. He turned to Shen Yuming and said gratefully: "Thanks to you, if you hadn't been able to foresee the future, who would have known that the private soldiers were hiding in Suzhou! This is a great achievement of yours!"

"I am willing to serve Your Highness." Shen Yuming replied respectfully, and then made his own request: "Your Highness, can you take me with you on this trip?"

"You want to go to Suzhou? Okay, it's a piece of cake." Baili Yan agreed generously.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Yuming knew what was going on. He wanted to take this opportunity to confirm the phoenix mark on the fourth prince's arm to ensure his own safety.

Soon after, Baili Yan and Rong Mingxuan secretly set off for Suzhou to avoid alerting the Fourth Prince. At the same time, Shen Siyan searched for Ye Yunzi in the capital.

However, it is not easy to find someone in a big place like the capital, especially when the other party intends to avoid him. Every time Shen Siyan just got the news, he always found that the people from the Su Mansion had already got there first. After some consideration, he decided to visit the Su Mansion in person and proposed that both sides cooperate to find clues together.

Although the Su family did not welcome Prince Jin's arrival, they finally agreed to cooperate in order to find Ye Yunzi.

The Su family was not aware of the dispute between Shen Siyan and Ye Yunzi, and the two had never explained it. When Su Luoan learned about Shen Siyan's visit, his face suddenly darkened: "Why is he here! Isn't it enough to break off the engagement? Is he here to make fun of our Su family now?"

Su Huan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a plan was already in mind. He found that Shen Siyan was also actively looking for Ye Yunzi, and his actions were fast, almost in sync with himself. Su Huan found clues based on his understanding of Kuimuzhu, while Shen Siyan relied on his own abilities to search. If he could cooperate with Shen Siyan, he might be able to find Ye Yunzi.

"Why not listen to what Prince Jin has to say? He is also looking for Yunzi." Su Huan suggested.

"Is he looking for him too?" Su Luoan's face was full of doubt, but he finally let Shen Siyan into the house reluctantly.

Shen Siyan stepped into the front hall and faced Su Luoan's cold eyes. He did not explain too much about the past, because he knew that the first priority now was to find Ye Yunzi. "I'm here to seek cooperation." He said bluntly, "Those who kidnapped Yunzi are cunning and set many traps. If we continue to act according to their ideas, we will only fall into the trap."

Su Huan looked at Shen Siyan with recognition in his eyes. The two of them had the same idea: they must change their strategy and take the initiative. However, Su Luoan questioned Shen Siyan's help: "Why did you help us find Yunzi? Don't forget, you have already broken off your engagement with her, and now there is no relationship between you!"

Shen Siyan lowered his eyes gently, "Master Su, the most important thing now is to find Yunzi. Please believe me once, I will do my best to bring her back."

Su Huan supported him and said, "Your Highness is right. The current priority is to find Yunzi. It is difficult to deal with those people with the power of the Su family alone. With the help of Your Highness, things will become much easier."

Although Su Luoan was not happy, he also understood the urgency of the situation and finally said nothing. Shen Siyan carefully observed Su Huan and felt that this person was not simple. The two looked at each other, and then Shen Siyan asked: "Master Su, do you have a way to lure those people out?"

Su Huan nodded calmly, "There is a way."

"If the prince trusts me, please follow my arrangements and I will definitely be able to lead those people out." Su Huan said confidently.

Seeing this, Shen Siyan agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I'm willing to help!"

After the three of them discussed, Shen Siyan returned to the palace to select suitable personnel and prepare to meet the upcoming challenges.

Su Luoan looked at Su Huan. As Shen Siyan left, his expression changed from stern to worried. He frowned and said, "Sir, you can't take the risk of being the bait yourself. It's too dangerous!"

Su Huan shook his head firmly, "There is no other way. Kuimuzhu's target is me, and he came here just to kill me. Only by using me as bait can he show up."

"But if Prince Jin's men are unreliable, then Your Excellency will be in dire straits!" Su Luoan said anxiously.

"I believe in Prince Jin." Su Huan responded calmly. He believed in his own judgment and knew that Shen Siyan was a rare talent. "Moreover, he will do his best to save Yunzi."

Seeing that Su Huan had made up his mind, Su Luoan said no more, but his hands were shaking slightly, and it was obvious that he was very uneasy. "Sir..."
