Yu Xihe saw Zhao Yun sitting there and accepting her father's greetings without any awkwardness, as if he was born accustomed to being worshipped by others. She couldn't help but feel curious about Zhao Yun's true identity.

After finishing the meal, Yu Xihe followed Zhao Yun back to the room that had been prepared for him. "What was your original name? I can't keep calling you a mute slave, can I?"

Zhao Yun wrote two words: "Wei Yun."

Yu Xihe saw that the character "珵" was exactly the same as the one in the letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The current Empress's surname was Wei, and the late Crown Prince's name was Zhao Yun...

As someone close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how could he dare to call him Wei Yun, unless he was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...

Yu Xihe felt that she was overthinking it.

How could Wei Yun be the Crown Prince? The Crown Prince was already dead, so how could he have become a slave?

Yu Xihe returned to her room with doubts.

Yu Wenlong approached Yu Xihe and said, "Sister."

"Big brother."

Yu Wenlong said to Yu Xihe, "I remember now. When I went to Chang'an to attend the funeral, I saw a portrait of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Just now, I realized that the mute servant looked familiar. Now that I think about it carefully, he does look very similar to the portrait of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Yu Xihe said, "I also suspect that he is the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince is already dead, so why would he be here?"

Yu Wenlong said, "No matter what, we have to send him back to Chang'an first. Sister, if he is really the Crown Prince, your future will be limitless. If you spend a night with him and send him back to Chang'an, maybe he will give you a position in the East Palace's backyard..."

Yu Xihe lowered her head shyly and said, "Brother."

Yu Wenlong smiled softly and said, "I heard in Chang'an that the current Crown Princess is said to be the daughter of the Wei family. In fact, many people are secretly saying that she was once a maidservant by His Highness's side and that she came from a lowly family... If you can enter the Eastern Palace, your family background will be even more noble than that of the Crown Princess..."

Yu Xihe whispered, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm only grateful to him for saving me. I have no other thoughts about him. Besides, his identity is just our speculation. He may not be the Crown Prince."

Yu Wenlong just smiled and said, "The handwriting and the portrait all match, how could it not be? Our family is about to become rich and powerful."

Yu Xihe, however, was not as happy as Yu Wenlong. She was a little worried and said, "If not, then if we help him return to Chang'an and impersonate someone close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, our crime will be enormous."

Yu Wenlong said, "When the time comes, go ask the young lady from the Ye family who you are friends with. Her cousin, Yun Xiangye, is now the Prince Consort of Prince Ning. She must know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Yu Xihe nodded: "That's good too."

Inside the East Palace.

Ye Wanhe was confined to the East Palace and was not allowed to step out of it. To her, this punishment did not seem like a punishment at all. After all, she had been trapped in the East Palace for the past ten years.

"elder sister."

Seeing Yun Xiangye coming in from outside, Ye Wanhe said, "I am a criminal now, so it's best if you don't get too close to me."

Yun Xiangye said with a guilty conscience, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been discovered. I came here today to tell you something."

Ye Wanhe dismissed the servants on both sides.

Just then, little Yu'er started to make a fuss, so Ye Wanhe held Yu'er in her arms and coaxed him. She turned around and breastfed little Yu'er.

Yun Xiangye smiled at Ye Wanhe and said, "Sister, are you actually the emperor's grandson who was breastfed?"

Ye Wanhe said: "Well, at first it was the wet nurse who fed Yu'er, then I tried feeding Yu'er, and Yu'er got used to me feeding him."

Yun Xiangye said, "Since you're going to feed the little grandson, I don't need to worry about your life for now. I came to find you today because I wanted you to prepare to fake your death. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been found."

Ye Wanhe was stunned for a moment. She turned around and looked up at Yun Xiangye. "Did you find it so quickly? With such a vast sea of ​​people and such a vast territory, I thought it would take two or three years."

Yun Xiangye said, "I found it. It's such a coincidence that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was actually bought by Chen Qing and became her family's slave."

Ye Wanhe frowned slightly, "Why is it Chen Qing? It's better not to implicate her."

Yun Xiangye said, "Ignorance is not a crime. Chen Qing doesn't know about this matter, so I don't think he will be implicated."

After Ye Wanhe finished feeding Yu'er, she looked down at him in her arms and sighed deeply, "It's only been a month since we returned from Yongxing City, right?"

Ye Wanhe gently stroked Yu'er's little face, but she was reluctant to give Yu'er the fake death drug.

Although it is said that the fake death drug will not harm the body, but after all, medicine is three-quarters poison, and Yu'er is still so young...

Ye Wanhe looked at Yun Xiangye and whispered, "Xiangye, I'm not sure I can fake my death with Yu'er right now. I can only save my life and leave the palace first. If I can't take my Yu'er out of the palace, I hope you can... help take good care of him. After all, he is his biological son, and he will at least be spared. I can find another opportunity to take Yu'er out of the palace, okay?"

Yun Xiangye nodded and said, "Well, sister, don't worry, I will treat Yu'er as my own."

After Yun Xiangye finished speaking, she left the East Palace. It was another beautiful spring day, with the east wind blowing in February, and the grass growing and the orioles flying.

When Yun Xiangye returned to Qingfeng Courtyard, she saw Nuonuo and Jingru flying kites together, both of them smiling happily.

Gu Jingyu walked over to Yun Xiangye and said, "Sister-in-law, do you want to play kite with me?"

Yun Xiangye shook her head and said, "I don't want to play anymore. I'll have to trouble you to help play with Nuonuo."

"Sister-in-law, you're too polite. Nuonuo is my niece, how can she be considered a bother? Besides, Nuonuo is much cuter than Jingru."
