Zhao Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Yan: "The cavalry of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion is originally the Gu family army. Is there no one behind this? Just say what you want to say. Don't come to me with these roundabout ways."

Gu Yan said, "Your Highness, it was Wei Yu who ordered us to send people to destroy the Ye Family Cloth Shop yesterday. I beg Your Highness to seek justice for the Ye Family Cloth Shop."

Zhao Yun asked, "Why would Wei Yu order the destruction of the Ye family's cloth shop?"

Yun Xiangye whispered, "A while ago, Wei Xi came to my embroidery workshop to cause trouble. I spoke back to her a few times, and she told me to wait. The embroidery workshop has been peaceful these past few days, but yesterday the Ye family's cloth shop was smashed by people from the Wei family. How could this not be related to Wei Xi?

If a rash had really broken out, ordinary people wouldn't have come and smashed the shop right away. They would have first asked for money to buy medicine before they were serious. Why would they take advantage of the strong wind and heavy rain to smash the cloth shop?"

Ye Wanhe frowned and ordered Li Quan, "Go and summon Wei Xi!"

Zhao Yun glanced sideways at Ye Wanhe.

Ye Wanhe said, "Your Highness, as the Crown Princess, am I not qualified to teach the Prince of Chu a lesson?"

Zhao Yun nodded to Li Quan and said, "Go and summon Wei Xi."

Li Quan had just gone outside to give instructions to the eunuchs of the Eastern Palace when the eunuchs from the Taiji Hall came hurriedly.

"Your Highness, His Majesty, the Crown Prince Xuanning wishes to see you."

Zhao Yun stood up and said to Gu Yan, "Let's go."

Gu Yan asked the eunuch who came over, "Why did Your Majesty summon me?"

"The Prince of Chu came before His Majesty to accuse you of having Deputy General Han Bing destroy his Chu Jing Pavilion."

Gu Yan said: "He still dares to complain."

Zhao Yun glanced at Gu Yan and said, "The Ye Family Cloth Shop was bullied, so why didn't you just come and report it to me? How could I just ignore the Ye Family Cloth Shop? Why did you go to the trouble of sending people to smash up the Chu Jing Pavilion and even ask the prefect of Chang'an to investigate? Such a simple matter, and you still need the prefect of Chang'an to investigate?"

Gu Yan said: "Isn't this because I'm afraid you'll still help Wei Yu? After all, she's your cousin, and now the Crown Prince of Chu's consort..."

Having said that, Gu Yan paused.

He finally understood why Yun Xiangye didn't admit that she was bullied when she first came to Chang'an.

Just like now, Gu Yan is not sure who Zhao Yun will help, so how could he dare to come to Zhao Yun easily.

Yun Xiangye, who had just arrived in Chang'an, must have been distrustful of him...

Thinking of this, Gu Yan felt as if needles were pricking her heart. She didn't trust herself...

Zhao Yun said, "It's true that Wei Xi is my cousin, but Wan He is pregnant now. If I side with Wei Xi in this matter, will she be able to have a safe and healthy pregnancy?"

Gu Yan said: "It was my mistake."

Inside the East Palace.

After Ye Wanhe watched the prince leave, she grabbed Yun Xiangye's wrist and asked in Yongxing dialect, "How are my parents? Were they hurt during the shop-crashing incident yesterday?"

Yun Xiangye nodded and said, "Sister, my uncle and aunt are fine. It's just the fabric that was damaged. We lost a large sum of money, but Gu Yan has already given them the money."

Ye Wanhe said, "Money is a small matter. What's important is that my father and mother are fine. What about you? I haven't seen you for a while. Have you reconciled with Gu Yan? He came here early this morning to ask for justice for you. It shows that he still cares about you."

Yun Xiangye shook her head and said, "He's been deceiving people for three years. It's not something that can be avoided just once or twice."

Ye Wanhe couldn't help but smile, "Your temper..."

Yun Xiangye looked at Ye Wanhe and said, "Sister, are you doing well in the East Palace?"

"I'm fine. I couldn't eat anything when the weather started getting hot a while ago, but now I'm much better. This baby in my belly is really making trouble."

Yun Xiangye looked at Ye Wanhe's bulging belly and said, "She only became naughty later. In the days before she was born, Nuonuo kept kicking me and even turned over in my belly. I thought she would be naughty after she was born, but fortunately, she's been very well-behaved since she was born."

Ye Wanhe listened to Yun Xiangye talking about the interesting things in the late pregnancy, her eyes blank. She often felt dazed now, thinking that one day she would become the Crown Princess, but her first child would not even be able to be born.

It took Ye Wanhe a while to recover and listen to Yun Xiangye talking about the pain she suffered when she gave birth to Nuonuo.

"Shuangbai was so scared that day that she cried and kept saying that she didn't want to have children in the future. Now she is pregnant, and I can't be with her."

Ye Wanhe touched her belly and asked, "Does giving birth really hurt?"

"It hurts, not just any pain," Yun Xiangye said. "It's the worst pain I've ever felt."

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess of Chu is waiting outside for you to see her."

"Xuan." Ye Wanhe said to Yun Xiangye, "You sit aside."

Yun Xiangye nodded, took a seat, and took the tea handed to her by the palace maid.

Wei Yu entered and bowed perfunctorily, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

After saying this, Wei Yu was about to stand up.

Ye Wanhe also took the tea. She sipped it slowly and said softly, "I don't think I asked you to stand up. You are a woman of the Wei family after all. Don't you know this little bit of etiquette?"

Wei Xi frowned and looked at Ye Wanhe, his eyes filled with anger. This Ye Wanhe really had the face of a smug villain.

She probably forgot how humble she was when she was a palace maid.

But no matter how angry Wei Yu was, she still had to continue to kneel and salute, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Ye Wanhe said after a long while, "Get up."

Wei Xi breathed a sigh of relief. "I wonder what the Crown Princess wants me to do today?"

Ye Wanhe asked, "Wei Xi, who gave you the guts to even dare to go to the Ye Family Cloth Shop?"

Wei Yu looked very innocent and said, "Ye Family Cloth Shop? What's so rude? I don't know what Ye Family Cloth Shop is."
