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

Xu Wei's face turned pale as paper in an instant. He looked up suddenly, his eyes full of astonishment. How could it be possible? No one knew that the Fourth Prince was secretly gathering troops in Suzhou. How did Rong Mingxuan know about it?

Looking at Xu Wei's reaction, Rong Mingxuan's mouth curled up slightly, and he already had the answer in his mind. He guessed correctly, Xu Wei was indeed going to Suzhou.

Realizing that the situation was not good, Xu Wei quickly calmed down, determined not to implicate the Fourth Prince even at the cost of his own life. "I fled the capital and hid here... I didn't expect you to find me. General Rong is indeed worthy of his reputation." He pretended to be calm and tried to change the subject, avoiding talking about Suzhou.

Rong Mingxuan just smiled faintly and looked at him sharply.

At this time, Baili Yan came over and said bluntly: "Stop making up stories. We already knew that the fourth brother was raising troops in Suzhou, and we just happened to meet you on the road this time."

Xu Wei seemed to hear a thunderclap, and all his hopes were shattered at this moment. Fate seemed to be playing a trick on the Fourth Prince, making all his efforts come to naught.

Rong Mingxuan made a simple gesture, and two soldiers immediately stepped forward to tie up Xu Wei. "Let's go together!" His voice was cold and ruthless.

Xu Wei stopped struggling, his heart was dead, he knew that everything the Fourth Prince had carefully planned had come to nothing.

Baili Yan approached Xu Wei and asked in a low voice: "Where is Baili Ye? Where is he? Is he also in Suzhou?"

However, Xu Wei kept his lips tightly shut and said nothing.

Baili Yan narrowed his eyes, his tone getting colder, "Even if you keep your mouth shut now, I still have a way to find every one of them!"

After Rong Mingxuan and Baili Yan left, Shen Yuming quietly approached Xu Wei. There was no one around. He quickly rolled up Xu Wei's sleeves and checked his arm, but found no phoenix mark. "It turns out it wasn't you..." Shen Yuming sighed softly.

At the same time, Baili Ye was anxiously waiting for Xu Wei's news. He sent Xu Wei to mobilize Suzhou's private soldiers, while he stayed in the capital, controlling the troops borrowed from Kuimu Zhu. Once he received Xu Wei's signal, he would prepare for the uprising.

However, what greeted him was not the expected good news, but a bolt from the blue - Xu Wei was arrested and Suzhou's secret forces were also exposed.

Upon hearing the news, Baili Ye felt his legs go weak and he slumped in his chair. His mind was blank and his ears were buzzing. The world seemed to stop at this moment. The news of Xu Wei's arrest was like a cold shower on his head, chilling him from head to toe. All his plans collapsed at this moment.

Baili Ye's plan was exposed in Suzhou, and years of conspiracy were shattered in an instant. Victory was within reach, but it was all gone because of this change. He felt a dull pain in his chest, and a fishy and sweet taste surged in his throat. In the end, he couldn't hold it back and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Ah——!" His cry was full of despair and anger, like a wild beast that had lost its direction.

Everything was over. All the dreams and ambitions collapsed at this moment. Baili Ye went from being a prince who was expected to inherit the throne to a rebel with nowhere to go. He didn't understand where he went wrong and why fate was so unfair to him. For many years, he diligently assisted his father, thinking that this would win the respect and power he deserved, but in the end, his father chose his second brother as the heir.

The flame of unwillingness burned in his heart. So he secretly planned and tried to turn the tide, but now, all his efforts were in vain.

"Hahahaha..." He laughed wildly, his laughter full of sarcasm and self-mockery. "It's all over." He murmured, his voice so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.

There are only two dead ends in front of him: either be captured and executed for treason, or flee and live a life without seeing the sun. The once noble prince now has to hide like a mouse.

Baili Ye covered his chest and spat out blood again, looking old and weak. Kui Muzhu appeared at some point and said calmly, "Fourth Prince, it's a pity. I thought we could work together. Now it seems that cooperation is no longer necessary."

Baili Ye did not respond, his eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul.

"Do you need help?" Kui Muzhu asked with seemingly good intentions, "Silver? Or help you escape from the capital? It's a pity that the fourth prince will have to live such a shady life in the future..."

Hearing this, Baili Ye raised his head slightly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. Continuing to flee means that he will never be able to live an upright life and become an outcast of history. But does he still have a choice?

Baili Ye finally made up his mind and stopped running away. He felt that if he continued to live like this, he might as well end his life. A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he whispered, "Help me."

Kuimuzhu looked at him, smiled slightly, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I want to send Yue'er back to the palace." Baili Ye's voice was trembling, and his eyes were firm. "This is the only choice."

Kuimuzhu agreed without hesitation. The princess was of no use to him, but the coming storm made him excited. Soon, a big show was about to begin.

Baili Ye stood up, his steps seemed mechanical and heavy, as if he had lost his soul. He was going to complete his last mission - to send his sister Yue'er back to the palace. This might be the last time he stepped into the imperial city and saw his father.

In the past two days, Baili Yue was trapped in the house, with heavy guards outside the door. She could only pace in the small space, and her face gradually became pale and weak. When the door suddenly opened, she looked up and saw the familiar and disgusting figure. Her eyes were immediately filled with disgust, and she turned her head away, unwilling to look at him again.

Baili Ye walked over and sat quietly opposite his sister. Silence filled the air between the two. After a long time, Baili Yue frowned and said, "What are you doing here? I don't want to see you, leave here!"

Baili Ye's heart suddenly shrank, and guilt and apology surged in his heart. He was silent for a moment, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Yue'er..."

"Don't call me Yue'er!" Baili Yue's voice trembled with anger, and her eyes were red. She couldn't accept that the man in front of her was her brother who once loved her. The soul corrupted by power was no longer the Ye she knew.

Baili Ye knew that he had made an unforgivable mistake and dragged his sister into this dispute. However, it was too late to say anything now. He had reached a desperate situation and there was no turning back.

"Brother, I was wrong." There was a hint of trembling and guilt in Baili Ye's voice, as if he was trying hard to control his emotions.

Baili Yue turned her head away and decided to ignore his existence. No matter what he said, she chose to remain silent, as if this person did not exist.

Seeing his sister's reaction, Baili Ye felt even more pain in his heart. "I was indeed wrong in this matter. I don't expect you to forgive me... Yue'er, I will send you back to the palace in two days and let you leave here."
