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

"Do you think I don't know? I have always been tolerant of you in the past, but I never thought that I would encourage your greed. In the end, you even hurt your own brother for the position of crown prince."

Baili Ye's hands trembled slightly, and his eyes were red. "This is all because of my father! If I had been made the crown prince earlier, how could I have done these things..."

"You have not repented yet!" the emperor said sternly.

"I'm not wrong!" Baili Ye retorted coldly, his voice firm, "It's my father who is wrong! If I had been made the crown prince earlier, I would have been a good crown prince for the country and the people!"

The emperor was so angry that he could not speak. He pointed at Baili Ye, his body shaking with anger. Baili Ye firmly believed that his behavior was forced.

The emperor was so excited that he almost fell down. Shen Siyan quickly stepped forward to support him, "Father, be careful."

"I'm fine." The emperor pushed him away, his tone full of disappointment and sadness. He realized his mistake. If he had dealt with Baili Ye decisively earlier, perhaps he would not have become so extreme.

"It was my fault..." the emperor whispered to himself.

Baili Ye stared at the emperor, and at this moment, his gaze seemed to waver.

However, when he heard the emperor's next words, it was like cold water being poured over him, and he felt chilled from head to toe.

"I shouldn't have shown mercy and should have stopped you earlier... Then you wouldn't have come to this point today."

Baili Ye suddenly burst into laughter, which was low at first and then became crazy.

It turned out that his father's last words were such an accusation.

Baili Ye laughed, his laughter was filled with uncontrollable sadness. He thought his heart had long been frozen, but at this moment, the deep pain surged like a tide.

Holding the black firestone tightly in his hand, his eyes turned cold. Since he couldn't stop that person from ascending the throne, let's destroy him together! However, just as he was about to act, a soft figure suddenly hugged him from behind.

Baili Ye was stunned, and looked down to see his sister Baili Yue. She was trembling, her face buried deep in his arms, leaning against him tightly. "Enough..." Her voice trembled, as if she had used up all her strength.

"Yue'er?" Baili Ye called softly.

Baili Yue slowly raised her head, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Brother, that's enough, please don't go on. If you must do this, just kill me first."

Baili Ye's heart seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and his breathing stagnated. "Yue'er..."

"Kill me." Baili Yue stopped struggling. She didn't want to be a bargaining chip between her brother and father anymore. Death seemed to be the only relief. At least in this way, she would no longer be a pawn in their hands.

The emperor looked at his daughter in horror, "Yue'er, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Baili Yue leaned her head on her brother's chest and closed her eyes. "I'm not afraid. As long as I'm in my brother's arms, I'm not afraid of anything."

Baili Ye's body was stiff, and the black flint in his hand was almost crushed, but all his anger and determination vanished at this moment.

"Yue'er..." His voice was hoarse.

"Brother, do you remember? You said you would protect me and not let anyone bully me." Baili Yue smiled, but her eyes were full of tears. "Because of what you said, I feel that the world is safe."

Baili Ye felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard these gentle words. His beloved sister was now forced into a desperate situation by him.

His eyes fell on the red mark on Baili Yue's neck, which was caused by his own hands. He had vowed to protect her for life, but now, he was the one who hurt her.

Ye's hand slowly raised up and stopped at Yue's neck. His fingers trembled slightly, and he hesitated whether to touch her. "Does it hurt?" he asked softly.

Yue opened her eyes and shook her head gently, "It doesn't hurt."

Ye's eyes were red and bloodshot, and he finally withdrew his hand, "Yue'er, it's my fault... I promised to protect you, but I failed to do it."

At this moment, Ye's heart sank. Revenge and hatred seemed insignificant at this moment. He realized that nothing was more important than Yue'er. He hurt the person who trusted and loved him the most.

"Yue'er, can you come and see your brother?" His voice was soft and only the two of them could hear it.

Yue raised her head and looked into his eyes. Ye smiled with relief and let go of all the hatred. Yue remembered that her brother's smile was always so warm, just like now, the memory of the past overlapped with the face in front of her.

"Yue'er, I will protect you well in the next life." Ye whispered, "Let's not be reborn in the imperial family, let's just be ordinary brother and sister."

Yue, with tears streaming down her face, nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll still be your sister in the next life."

Ye stroked Yue's face and said, "Promise me that you will live well..."

Yue felt something was wrong and looked at Ye in horror. Suddenly, Ye pushed her away and quickly stepped back.

Yue was pushed to the ground, “Brother!” she shouted.

Ye smiled faintly, then suddenly threw the black flint in his hand to the ground. There was a loud bang, and gun smoke filled the air.

When the smoke cleared, Ye's figure was no longer there, only a pool of blood.

Yue's tears flowed like a spring, her vision blurred, and she struggled to crawl towards the bloodstain, "Brother, don't... don't leave me!"

The guards hurriedly stopped her, "Princess!"

"Brother!" Yue's voice almost tore the air, heartbroken.

"Stop the princess quickly, don't let her pass!" The guards held Yue tightly to prevent her from getting closer.

Yue called out her brother's name desperately, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment.

Baili Yue's world collapsed at this moment. Her tears fell like rain, and her vision became blurred, but her brother's last smile was clearly imprinted in her mind. "Brother will be fine..."

She whispered repeatedly, her voice choked with tears. However, the reality was cruel. Her beloved brother had left her and paid the price of his life to protect her. The loneliness overwhelmed her like a tide, and Baili Yue felt unprecedented despair.

"Let me go! I want to see my brother!" She struggled, trying to break through the people around her. Suddenly, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and she had difficulty breathing. Her eyes went dark, and she lost consciousness. There was a cry of surprise from the crowd around her, and the guards hurried forward to support the princess who was about to fall.

Shen Siyan, the future emperor, supported the emperor who was unsteady due to grief. His eyes were full of complicated emotions, and he also felt heartbroken at the sight. He quickly gave orders, asking the soldiers to send the unconscious Baili Yue back to the palace, and immediately summoned the imperial physician.

The emperor looked at his son's cold body, his heart filled with disbelief and pain. He whispered his son's name, his voice filled with endless sorrow. Then he waved his hand, signaling that everyone need not worry, but his silence and trembling body revealed the heaviness of his heart.
