In a three-courtyard house in Chang'an City, Yu Xihe was amazed by the beauty of the scenery as soon as she entered.

At this moment, the oleander and lilac flowers in the garden are in full bloom, which is a beautiful sight.

Yu Xihe looked down at Ye Zhimiao and said, "Miaomiao, don't cry. I think Aunt Ye is too worried about your sister."

Ye Zhimiao said, "They are so biased. My sister has already disowned us family members for the position of Crown Princess, but they still support that unfilial daughter Ye Wanhe..."

Yu Xihe looked at Ye Zhimiao and said, "Don't be too upset. The Crown Princess drugged His Royal Highness, and she will definitely get retribution. His Royal Highness will definitely not let her go and will torture her severely."

Ye Zhimiao burst into tears upon hearing this and said, "Sometimes I really don't know if I'm actually my parents' biological child. We're both daughters, so how could they be so partial to me?"

Yu Xihe patted Ye Zhimiao's shoulder and said comfortingly: "What are you talking about? You must be your parents' biological child."

Ye Zhimiao shed tears, full of sadness.

When Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan returned to the Princess's Mansion, Gu Ling called them to the study in the front yard.

Gu Ling looked at Gu Yan and said, "Your Highness has just informed His Majesty that you have been removed from your position as Imperial Censor."

Gu Yan said: "Your Highness has already told me."

Gu Ling sighed and said, "His Highness has shown mercy to the two of you. Sending fake death drugs to the palace and attempting to deceive the emperor is the least punishment you can get."

Gu Yan responded, "Yes, I understand."

Gu Ling said, "It's not easy for you to return to the court for now. Wait and see if there is another opportunity to make merit in the future. If there is such an opportunity, you can enter the court again."

Gu Yan nodded and said, "Yes."

Gu Ling sighed softly and said, "You've been busy for three years in Jiangnan for nothing."

Gu Yan glanced at Yun Xiangye and said, "It's all worth it for Xiangye."

Yun Xiangye listened to Gu Yan's words and couldn't help feeling moved and guilty. She secretly thought to herself that she would never slap Gu Yan again in the future no matter what.

In the East Palace.

Ye Wanhe taught Yu'er how to crawl. Little Yu'er had already learned to crawl, but he was a little lazy and didn't like to crawl much.

Ye Wanhe held little Yu'er in her arms and smiled gently. When she saw the figure at the door, her smile stopped abruptly and she held Yu'er tightly in her arms.

Zhao Yun, who was standing at the door, saw Ye Wanhe looking at him like a human trafficker, frowned and ordered the nurse beside him, "Take Yu'er away, and all of you leave."

The wet nurse walked to Ye Wanhe's side, and Ye Wanhe took a while before handing Yu'er to the wet nurse.

After the wet nurse took Yu'er away, Ye Wanhe walked to the candle in the room and lit it.

Zhao Yun walked to Ye Wanhe's side, frowned at her and said, "Now that you see me, have you even forgotten to greet me?"

Ye Wanhe ignored Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun was so angry that he walked forward, picked up Ye Wanhe and threw her onto the quilt without mercy.

Zhao Yun leaned over and pinched Ye Wanhe's chin and said, "Please ask me to forgive you, please ask me to forgive you..."

Ye Wanhe frowned and stopped looking at Zhao Yun. She didn't want to ask for Zhao Yun's forgiveness at all.

Zhao Yun said to Ye Wanhe, "Gu Yan has been dismissed from his post because of your involvement and is no longer allowed to enter the court."

Ye Wanhe didn't feel guilty. Besides, Gu Yan was the eldest son of Prince Ning and the eldest princess. Even if he was not allowed to enter the court again, he would still be in a high position for the rest of his life.

"Wanhe, please beg me, please beg me to forgive you, and I will let Gu Yanguan return to his post..."

Zhao Yun wanted to see her crying bitterly and regretting her past actions, not her eyes filled with hatred.

Ye Wanhe said: "I did nothing wrong, I don't need your forgiveness."

Zhao Yun frowned, tore open Ye Wanhe's collar, and bit her collarbone hard, not getting relieved until she felt the pain.

Zhao Yun said coldly, "You did nothing wrong? You poisoned the crown prince and traded in slaves. Each of these crimes is enough to get you executed by slicing your entire clan."

"Then execute me."

Zhao Yun became even more angry when he heard Ye Wanhe's indifferent voice. He leaned close to Ye Wanhe's ear and said, "Do you think I won't? But this slow slicing will make your death so quick, it's really too easy for you. I will make you stay by my side for the rest of your life and suffer a lifetime of torture."

Zhao Yun touched Ye Wanhe's face and said, "Originally, I was worried about the difficulties you went through when giving birth to Yu'er, so I didn't want you to have more children. Now, I will punish you by making you give birth to more children and go to the gates of hell a few more times."

Ye Wanhe: “…”

Having offspring has always been a blessing in the palace, when did it become a punishment?

Zhao Yun ignored the doubt in Ye Wanhe's eyes, lowered the gauze curtain, and just wanted to torment her.

Ye Wanhe was so tired that she fell asleep again, but she woke up not long after falling asleep.

In the dead of night in the East Palace, she was held captive in Zhao Yun's arms.

Ye Wanhe looked at Zhao Yun's face through the small lamp outside the gauze curtain and sighed. He might as well have taken her life directly, and she could have taken the opportunity to fake her death and escape. Now she really couldn't withstand such punishment.

Zhao Yun opened his eyes and met Ye Wanhe's gaze.

Ye Wanhe closed her eyes.

Zhao Yun said, "Wanhe, I don't believe you didn't love me. If it wasn't because you loved me, how could you be reluctant to kill me when you knew that if I lived, you would suffer endless consequences?"

Ye Wanhe just pretended to be asleep and didn't answer Zhao Yun.

She really had never loved Zhao Yun. If she had to say that she liked him, then maybe she had liked him a little before she had her first child.

At that time, Zhao Yun was only seventeen years old, a young man with great vigor and vitality, and the crown prince who was high above and in power. Being favored by him, Ye Wanhe thought that few people would not be tempted.
