The leaves fall without parallel

Ye Shaobai saw that his sister looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, so he quickly asked

"Why do you think it's her? Did you make any important discoveries?"

At this point, Ye Qingge's murderous aura instantly faded.

"I just don't have any evidence. If I had evidence, would I still let her go unpunished?"

"Then why do you doubt her?"

Ye Qingge sat up straight, looked at Ye Shaobai and asked

"Brother, would you kill your love rival just because you like someone?"

"Ah... well, I've never liked anyone, so it's hard to answer your question, but liking someone to the point of going crazy and killing your love rival is a bit too much, isn't it?"

Ye Shaobai didn't know how to answer his sister's question. He thought about it and said

"But the problem you mentioned may appear in the deep palace. It's not possible, it is definitely possible. Although I, your brother, don't understand those things, I still hear about them occasionally. In short, no family's backyard is peaceful. Some people die in an unnatural way. But how they died is something worth investigating in depth."

"That's right. When a woman gets jealous, she can be very scary. She can do anything."

Ye Qingge's intuition has always been very accurate

"So you suspect that Lin Ruoyue was jealous of you, so she attacked you on the street? But why? She knew you were a threat to her before she even met you."

Ye Qingge sighed

"Brother, don't underestimate her. When I was in the palace, I wore a mask and looked no different from an ordinary person. But just because Xiao Lingche took me with him everywhere, she went crazy and even resorted to the tactic of selecting someone. Moreover, she even hired the most famous assassin organization to deal with me. She didn't want to spare my life at all. One time, that crazy woman whipped me in the street..."

"What? She actually dared to attack you. I'll drag her out and beat her up. I'll beat her into a cripple and then throw her to the dogs."

He was so angry that his sister was treated like this.

"Brother, calm down. You don't even need to hit her. I can knock her down by myself. It's just that beating her is too easy. Breaking her down psychologically is the most fatal thing."

Ye Shaobai calmed down

"Now I know why you doubt her. She's crazy about Xiao Lingche. She didn't even let go of a little maid, and she's so open about it to deal with you, let alone the princess who came to marry."

Ye Qingge nodded. Her brother was quite smart.

"Brother, you are finally smart for once. You are a teachable kid. Haha."

Ye Shaobai tapped her little head and said

"Who told you to be my sister? What should I do if I don't protect my little princess well?"

Ye Qingge rubbed his head which was not painful at all and said with a smile

"Then I'll leave it to you, brother. Hehehe."

"But then again, that woman is really scary. You came to marry her, and you haven't decided who you will marry, but she can't wait to kill you. Why doesn't she go to heaven?"

"Except for the eldest prince, the other princes of Dongling Kingdom do not have wives. The crown prince has a leg disease and is already engaged. Excluding him, the next one is the second prince, but his reputation is not as good as the third prince.

"The agreement between the two countries clearly states that marriage is permitted, but as for who to choose, they must respect my wishes and let me choose. Now that Prince Xuan is the God of War of Dongling and hasn't married, that woman must be afraid that I would choose Xiao Lingche, so she's resorting to force and trying to take my life."

Ye Qingge paused and continued

"She is so short-sighted. What if I choose the emperor instead of anyone else? Entering the palace and becoming a concubine wouldn't be bad either."

She held her chin with her fingers, looking thoughtful, as if she was really thinking about this problem seriously.

Ye Shaobai had just taken another bite of pastry, but was so shocked by Ye Qingge's words that he swallowed it without chewing it. Now it was stuck in his throat, unable to come out or go down. He stretched out a hand towards Ye Qingge.

"Cough cough cough... Help, help, me..."

Seeing her brother's appearance, Ye Qingge quickly poured him a glass of water. He drank the water in one breath before swallowing the cake stuck in his throat.

Ye Qingge patted his back to soothe him

"Brother, eat slowly, I'm not going to snatch it from you."

Ye Shaobai was so angry about what she said that he was still unable to breathe. He pointed at her but was speechless. He quickly drank another glass of water before saying

"You, what did you say just now, enter the palace?"

"Yes"

"Become a concubine?"

"That's right"

"Are you crazy? The emperor is so old, even older than our father. Are you trying to piss me off to death?"

Ye Shaobai looked so disappointed that she could not make up for her shortcomings. He was the first one to disagree if she entered the palace.

"Brother, listen to me. Didn't you say that the emperor is old? Maybe I can get a concubine as soon as I enter the palace, and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life. Hahahahaha..."

"You are so naive. Anyway, if you want to enter the palace, I will be the first to disagree. If you have such thoughts again, I will break your legs and make you unable to go anywhere."

"Ah, brother, are you serious?"

"Do I look joking to you?"

He glared at Ye Qingge unhappily. Seeing Ye Shaobai's expression, it seemed that he was really angry. Ye Qingge stopped joking and quickly coaxed him.

"Brother, I was wrong. Don't be angry. I was just joking. I was teasing you."

Ye Qingge swung her brother's arm coquettishly

Ye Shaobai couldn't help but let go of her coquettishness.

"Don't say this kind of nonsense again"

"Yes, yes, I will never tell anyone, I promise."

Seeing Ye Qingge swearing to the sky, Ye Shaobai finally felt relieved. How could his delicate sister, the stunning little princess of Xining, marry an old man? If that happened, he would tie her up and take her back to Xining to avoid seeing the bad old man.

It was obvious that her brother was really angry just now. In order to divert his attention, she could only change the subject.

"Brother, the fact that Lin Ruoyue was able to find Hua Manlou shows that she's very familiar with the situation and has worked with them more than once. That's why I'm suspicious of her. Otherwise, how could a young lady like her know so much about the underworld? And when she was kidnapped that time, she wasn't afraid at all. Even though she staged it herself, she was able to remain calm in the face of the killers. It seems like she's quite familiar with them."

"If you say so, then it's most likely her doing. Killing the princess and affecting the diplomatic relations between the two countries, exterminating her entire clan wouldn't be too much of a punishment."

Her brother was successfully distracted by her, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had never thought that her casual words about marrying the emperor would make him so angry that he wanted to break her legs. Was it really that serious? However, the palace was indeed a den of dragons and tigers, a place where people were eaten without leaving any bones. She was fine, but if the original owner, who was simple-minded, had gone there, she would have been a real sheep walking into the tiger's mouth.

Alas, speaking of the original owner, she couldn't bear to tell Ye Shaobai that his real sister was actually dead. The little princess of Xining who sacrificed herself for the peace of the two countries and resolutely set foot in a foreign land but did not have a good end.
