Yun Xiangye, while boating on a spring day, lost her footing and fell into the lake. She was rescued by Gu Yan, a wealthy young master who was recuperating in Jiangnan.
To repay his great kin...
When Xiao Nuonuo heard that she didn't have a sister for the time being, she couldn't help feeling disappointed. She could only go to the little emperor's grandson and play with her brother.
Ye Wanhe dismissed the surrounding palace servants and said to Yun Xiangye, "Xiangye, how is your relationship with Gu Yan now?"
Yun Xiangye raised her eyes to look at Ye Wanhe and said, "We've made peace."
Ye Wanhe chuckled and said, "Now that His Majesty is seriously ill, Prince Ning is fully responsible for state affairs. If your relationship with Gu Yan is not good, and Gu Yan still treats you badly, I would have to make other preparations. Since you and Gu Yan have reconciled, I don't need to make other preparations."
Yun Xiangye also knew that their current situation was no longer the same as before, but was related to the highest power in the Dasheng Dynasty.
Yun Xiangye nodded towards Ye Wanhe and said, "If Gu Yanruo continues to treat me badly or let me down in the future, I will endure it for you and the little grandson."
Ye Wanhe chuckled and said, "That's not necessary. If Gu Yan still lets you down, I can find someone else to assist the little grandson. The Gu family has been extremely powerful for over twenty years, and there are countless people behind the scenes who want to bring it down and take its place. You must remember that you don't have to suffer in the Gu family for me and Yu'er."
Yun Xiangye lowered her head and whispered, "Actually, I deserve to be wronged. After all, this time it's my turn to hide it from Gu Yan..."
Yun Xiangye's heart was filled with guilt. She had resented Gu Yan for hiding his identity from her for three years, but now that it was her turn, she had no way of confessing it to Gu Yan...
My sister drugged the prince, which is a capital crime and may even implicate the entire clan.
Although my sister's nine clans are now the Wei family, she is definitely going to die.
Ye Wanhe paused her smile upon hearing this and said, "Xiangye, why don't you confess to Gu Yan? Don't let your relationship be damaged because of me."
Yun Xiangye hurriedly said, "How can I confess this? Gu Yan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a deep brotherly bond. If I tell Gu Yan about this, he will definitely go to great lengths to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. By then, your life will be in danger."
Ye Wanhe reached out and touched the child's face in her arms. "Xiangye, when I dealt with His Royal Highness, I had already considered that the worst outcome would be nothing more than death. But it would also be my revenge for all the years I've had against His Royal Highness."
"I didn't want to implicate anyone, but Ah Hong and you two found out, and I'm the one who dragged you into this. I'm really sorry.
Especially you, Xiangye, you and Gu Yan have finally reconciled, you two shouldn't become enemies because of me."
"Just go and tell Gu Yan about this. No matter what Gu Yan decides, at least you and your wife won't become enemies because of me."
Yun Xiangye shook her head and said, "No, you must not tell Gu Yan about this. If you tell Gu Yan, you will die."
Ye Wanhe gently touched the face of the baby in her arms and said, "I still have two fake death pills left, enough for Yu'er and I to escape. Besides, as long as Gu Yan doesn't find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he won't dare to hastily convict me. After all, little Yu'er is in a difficult situation. As long as Zhao Yun doesn't show up, I'll be fine. Even if he does, I still have the fake death pills."
Ye Wanhe said, "Xiangye, go back and tell Gu Yan about this today. Don't delay it too long. Otherwise, Gu Yan will find out about it first, and the relationship you worked so hard to mend will be broken because of me."
Yun Xiangye pursed her lips tightly, "Sister, do you know the current whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Ye Wanhe shook her head slightly and said, "After Ah Hong sold Zhao Yun to a trafficker with a foreign accent on the black market, he disappeared without a trace. After all, the more people know about this, the more dangerous it is. I didn't specifically assign anyone to keep an eye on Zhao Yun."
Ye Wanhe was also very clear that her method this time was not perfect, and she could not make it perfect.
Even if Zhao Yun is saved, whether he will return or not is still an unknown to Ye Wanhe, and she has made preparations for the worst.
So she didn't give Zhao Yun all the fake death drugs, and left two.
It would be best if this matter goes smoothly, but if it is exposed, it will be nothing more than the original plan.
Ye Wanhe said, "Sister Xiangye, you know the pain of having your partner keep your secrets for three years. You didn't interfere in this matter in the first place. There's no need to lose someone who loves you because of this. Just go and tell them the truth today."
Yun Xiangye lowered her head, not knowing how to speak to Gu Yan for a moment.
Yun Xiangye looked at Ye Wanhe and said, "Sister, at worst, I can just break up with Gu Yan completely... Although it's a bit painful, I can't let your plan be ruined or your life be endangered because of me."
Ye Wanhe smiled at Yun Xiangye and said, "You're talking nonsense. I won't die. I still have some fake death medicine left. Don't worry. But don't do to others what you don't want done to you. Go and confess to Gu Yan. I really didn't consider this before."
Yun Xiangye still looked at Ye Wanhe with concern, "You finally became the mother of the Crown Prince, but because of the relationship between Gu Yan and me, you lost this great power and honor..."
Ye Wanhe interrupted Yun Xiangye before she finished speaking and said, "These are not what I have been asking for."
Ye Wanhe looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "I just want to be Ye Wanhe again, a daughter of the Ye family, and reunite with my parents. Now I'm the Crown Princess, so what? The one who has this honor is not Ye Wanhe, but Wei Zhenzhu. The New Year is approaching, but I still can't even reunite with my parents. I thought this year would be a year of reunion..."
Yun Xiangye asked, "When Yu'er grows up and finds out he was supposed to be the crown prince, will he hate me?"
