"Why do you want to take my pulse?"

Gu Yan's words rang out from behind them.

Gu Jingyu looked at Gu Yan and said, "Sister-in-law suspects that you are infertile. Let me take your pulse."

Gu Yan glared at Yun Xiangye and said, "I'm in good health, how can I not give birth?"

Yun Xiangye touched his nose and said, "I'm just speculating."

Gu Jingyu smiled at Gu Yan and said, "Brother, don't be afraid to see a doctor. Let me take your pulse."

Gu Yan said: "No need, absolutely not, you can take Jingru back."

Gu Jingyu said, "It's a big taboo to hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor. Don't you really want me to take your pulse?"

Gu Yan said: "No need!"

Gu Jingyu just smiled and said, "Okay then, Jingru and I will go and accompany Mom. Without Daddy, Mom must be lonely."

Gu Yan said: "That's not the case. I just ran into my mother at the door. She, Princess Chu, and my aunt went on a spring outing today. They were very relaxed."

Xiao Jingru opened her eyes wide and said, "Mom is lying."

Xiao Jingru hurried to find her mother who had left her behind to go out for fun.

Gu Jingyu hurriedly followed.

Yun Xiangye couldn't help but chuckle.

Gu Yan put his arm around Yun Xiangye's waist and rested his head on her shoulder. "I'm not trying hard enough, and you think I'm sick. I'll try harder these next few days so you can get pregnant with Nuonuo's brother or sister soon."

Yun Xiangye said: "I just said it casually..."

Before Yun Xiangye could finish her next words, Gu Yan picked her up and carried her into the house.

--

When boating in spring, the river banks are lined with sprouting weeping willows.

On the deck, Zhao Yun looked into the distance, regretting that the official ship was moving too slowly.

"Brother Yun, this is the pear paste soup I made for you. It's good for your throat. Have some."

Zhao Yun turned around and looked at Yu Xihe who was coming over, feeling a little dazed. That day, Ye Wanhe had also fed him tea containing fake death medicine in such a gentle way.

Zhao Yun didn't take the pear paste soup from Yu Xihe's hand. He just walked into the cabin and wrote a few words, "How many days until we reach Chang'an?"

Yu Xihe said, "If everything goes smoothly, it will take at least a month."

Zhao Yun frowned slightly, but he could only let the boat sway and move slowly.

I wonder if the scenery on both sides of the river was the same when Ye Wanhe came to Chang'an by boat.

Yu Xihe asked, "You are in a hurry to go to Chang'an. Is there someone you want to see?"

Zhao Yun wrote on the paper: "I am anxious to see my wife and children."

Yu Xihe saw the smile in Zhao Yun's eyes as he wrote the word "wife" and whispered, "Your wife must be looking forward to your early return home."

Zhao Yun couldn't help but smile. Ye Wanhe was probably just hoping that he would never go back.

Yu Xihe asked, "You said your wife's name also contains the character 禾. What's her name?"

Zhao Yun picked up his pen and wrote on the white paper: "Ye Wanhe."

When Yu Xihe saw the name, she raised her eyebrows slightly. Could it be that her and her brother's guess was wrong? The current Crown Princess's surname is Wei.

The more Yu Xihe looked at the name, the more familiar it seemed to her. "This name sounds so familiar, Ye Wanhe... Isn't Zhimiao's sister called Wanhe? She entered the palace to serve in her early years..."

Yu Xihe thought about what her brother had said about the secret of the current Crown Princess. Although she was the daughter of the Wei family, she was born into a humble family as a palace maid.

This can't be a coincidence, right?

It turns out that Ye Zhimiao’s sister is the Crown Princess?

How could Ye Wanhe leave behind her parents and travel thousands of miles to find them, and acknowledge the Duke of Wei's mansion as her natal family? Could she be so unfilial just for the position of Crown Princess?

After hearing what Yu Xihe said, Zhao Yun didn't write anything else.

There was a ship getting closer and closer to them.

As the large ship approached their vessel, Zhao Yun wrote on a piece of paper: "Drop anchor nearby."

After the boat stopped, the large ship gradually approached. Some black-clad guards came to Zhao Yun's boat one after another. When they saw Zhao Yun on the deck, they hurriedly knelt in front of Zhao Yun.

Gu Ling came over and knelt down in front of Zhao Yun, saying, "I am late in coming to your rescue. I hope Your Highness will punish me."

Zhao Yun hurried forward and helped the kneeling Gu Ling up.

Although the two siblings of the Yu family had already guessed Zhao Yun's identity, they were still shocked when they saw this scene.

After Gu Ling checked Zhao Yun's pulse, he took out a pill from the side and said, "This is the antidote your aunt prepared for you. Jingyu is naive and didn't expect that the Crown Princess wanted the mute potion for you. If she knew, she would definitely not give the poison to the Crown Princess."

Yu Xihe, who was standing by, opened her eyes wide when she heard Gu Ling's words.

Yu Xihe always thought that Zhao Yun and his wife were deeply in love, which was why Zhao Yun wrote that he would only have one wife in his life. However, she didn't expect that he was actually poisoned and silenced by the Crown Princess?

Zhao Yun took the pill handed to him by Gu Ling with a hint of doubt.

Gu Ling smiled helplessly and said, "Your Highness, I watched you being born and growing up. Don't you even believe me?"

After Zhao Yun swallowed the antidote, he wanted to speak, but he couldn't. He just felt his throat getting more and more painful.

After a long pause, he finally managed to speak hoarsely: "Uncle, how did you know I was still alive?"

Gu Ling said: "What the Crown Princess said."

Zhao Yun was stunned. "She didn't even hope for my death? I thought she would think about my suffering every day, but I didn't expect her to be so honest. Is she really not afraid of being executed by my father? How is she now?"

Gu Ling said, "Your whereabouts have not been found. The reputation of the Crown Prince's biological mother must not be damaged to avoid causing unrest in the court. She is currently under house arrest in the Eastern Palace. What to do with her will have to wait until you return to the palace to discuss it."

Gu Ling looked at Zhao Yun, "Have you thought about how to deal with her?"

Zhao Yun sneered, "Abolishing the Crown Princess's position and executing Ye Wanhe by skinning her alive and slicing her to death would be too easy for her. She thinks about leaving the palace day and night, but I'm determined to make her stay in the Eastern Palace for the rest of her life, becoming the Crown Princess she doesn't want to be, and being tortured by my side!"

Gu Ling: “…”

The Crown Princess who made her feel so high and mighty was tortured, and the death by slow slicing was too easy for her.

Gu Ling coughed and said, "Your Highness, if you punish the Crown Princess like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for His Majesty and the Queen to explain it."

Zhao Yun said, "I will naturally explain it to my father, the emperor, and my mother."

Gu Ling chuckled helplessly and shook his head. "This boat is really too slow. Your Highness, please get on the carriage and hurry back to Chang'an. His Majesty and the Empress are very worried about you."

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Well, I want to return to Chang'an as soon as possible and seek revenge on Ye Wanhe!"

"Brother Yun." Yu Xihe walked up to Zhao Yun and said, "Let me ride with you in the carriage to Chang'an."

Zhao Yun said to Gu Ling, "Uncle, please bring these two siblings along as well."

Gu Ling responded: "Yes."

Zhao Yun paused and said, "By the way, Uncle, please send two more guards to the Zhu family in Yongxing City to summon the second young master and second mistress of the Zhu family winery to come to Chang'an to see me."

Gu Ling agreed again: "Okay."

After Zhao Yun got off the boat, he rode on the fast horse that the guards had already prepared, eager for revenge!
