When Yun Xiangye was wandering around the gate of the East Palace, she saw a young man coming towards her.

"Cousin's wife."

Yun Xiangye couldn't recognize who he was for a moment, but she saw that he had a very handsome face, comparable to Gu Yan.

Xie Shian chuckled and looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Cousin, why did you come to the East Palace alone?"

Yun Xiangye said, "My cousin is on duty in the Eastern Palace. I just heard from Princess Ningxiang in the Chu Palace that my cousin was severely injured after being punished, so I thought of going to the Eastern Palace to visit my cousin."

Xie Shian said, "Cousin-in-law, please follow me in."

As soon as he entered the Eastern Palace, Xie Shian found a palace maid and asked her where Ye Wanhe was, and asked the palace maid to take Ye Wanhe to a small courtyard next to the Eastern Palace.

As soon as Yun Xiangye entered, she felt cold. The room where the palace maids lived was really cold.

There were four small beds in a small room, and the space was really cramped.

Yun Xiangye saw several young palace maids gathered in the corner.

"Your Highness, this is too harsh. I just put some salt in Prince Ning's tea, but why should I be punished so severely?"

"Those eunuchs who were in charge of the punishment didn't know how to show mercy."

"Aunt Ye."

Ye Wanhe said softly, "I'm fine. Stop crying and go do your own things."

Yun Xiangye staggered over to Ye Wanhe and said, "Sister."

Ye Wanhe looked at Yun Xiangye who was coming over and asked, "Sister Yun, why are you in the East Palace?"

Yun Xiangye saw that although Ye Wanhe was covered with a quilt, there were bloodstains on the quilt. She lifted the quilt and saw Ye Wanhe's red-stained dress. Yun Xiangye's hands were shaking.

Yun Xiangye knelt in front of Ye Wanhe with tears in her eyes. Her eyes were blurred with tears and she said with self-blame, "You were punished because I asked you to sprinkle salt in Gu Yan's tea... I'm sorry, sister."

Yun Xiangye's tears kept falling. "It's all my fault. I hurt you. I'm sorry for you, sister."

Ye Wanhe gently touched Yun Xiangye's face and said, "I don't blame you, Crown Princess. This has nothing to do with you."
