Everyone in Chang'an is Waiting for Me to Be Divorced

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...

Chapter 39: The Only Choice for the Crown Princess

On the way to Yuhua Temple.

Fu Qianran smiled faintly as she looked at the little Nuonuo that Yun Xiangye was holding hands with. "This child is so cute, so quiet and well-behaved. What's her name? How old is she?"

Yun Xiangye said, "Her name is Nuonuo. She's three years old on New Year's Day, but she'll be two in a few days."

Fu Qianran handed the hot water bottle in her hand to the palace maid behind her, stretched out her hand towards Nuonuo and said, "Nuonuo, can I hold you?"

Nuonuo glanced at Yun Xiangye, and seeing that Yun Xiangye did not refuse, she let Fu Qianran hold her.

Fu Qianran smiled as she looked at the little Nuonuo in her arms and said, "This Nuonuo looks more like Prince Ning."

Yun Xiangye said calmly, "Yes, she looks more like her father."

Fu Qianran spoke softly to Nuonuo in her arms.

Yun Xiangye saw the faint smile on Fu Qianran's face and thought to herself that it was no wonder that she could be the Crown Princess. Her dignified and elegant temperament and her gentleness and consideration towards children made her the perfect candidate for the Crown Princess.

Several people walked all the way to Yuhua Hall.

Yun Xiangye saw a figure in the courtyard of Yuhua Palace and said to Gu Jingyu, "Jingyu, please help me look after Nuonuo..."

Gu Jingyu responded: "Okay, sister-in-law."

Yun Xiangye walked towards where Ye Wanhe was and gently patted her shoulder. "Sister, how are you?"

Ye Wanhe heard Yun Xiangye's voice, took three steps back, bowed and said, "Prince's Consort."

"elder sister."

Ye Wanhe raised her eyes and looked deeply at Yun Xiangye: "I hope the Crown Prince's Consort will pay attention to the way she addresses you."

Yun Xiangye could only ask, "Aunt Ye, how are your injuries?"

"Thank you for the medicine given by the Crown Princess. My injuries have healed a lot."

Yun Xiangye listened to her cousin's respectful words and sighed softly, "Aunt Ye, why are you here?"

Ye Wanhe looked towards the garden, "Your Highness is admiring the plum blossoms in the garden with the Prince of Ning, the Prince of Xiang, the Prince of Chu, the Young Master of the Xie Family, and the Young Master of the Wei Family."

Yun Xiangye saw several noble young men standing in the plum garden outside Yuhua Palace, and could hear their laughter from time to time.

"Aunt Ye."

Yun Xiangye heard the sound behind her and saw Fu Qianran coming over with a hot water bottle in her hand.

Fu Qianran handed the hot water bottle back to Ye Wanhe and said, "Aunt Ye, this hot water bottle was given to me by His Highness when I met him this morning. My hands are no longer cold now, so I'll give it back to His Highness."

Ye Wanhe bowed her head and respectfully took the hot water bottle from Fu Qianran's hand, "Yes, Miss Fu."

Fu Qianran smiled at Yun Xiangye and asked, "Do the Crown Prince's Consort and Aunt Ye know each other?"

Yun Xiangye nodded and said, "Aunt Ye is my cousin from my uncle's family."

Fu Qianran chuckled faintly, "Are they so close? Then I won't dare to trouble Aunt Ye with her services in the future."

Ye Wanhe lowered her head and said, "Once I entered the palace, I am a servant. I only know how to serve the mistress well."

Fu Qianran looked at Ye Wanhe who lowered her head and smiled gently, saying, "No wonder His Highness likes to use Aunt Ye. Aunt Ye is very loyal."

Ye Wanhe whispered, "Being loyal to the master is the duty of a servant."

After all, Yun Xiangye had been the owner of an embroidery workshop for so many years, so how could she not hear that Fu Qianran was trying to intimidate her sister?

But to be fair, Yun Xiangye didn't think Fu Qianran couldn't give him a warning.

After all, she hasn't even entered her fiancé's house yet, but there's already a maidservant in his room who follows him around all the time. Even a virtuous and generous woman may not be able to stand it.

After all, Fu Qianran was not wrong.

Fu Qianran smiled softly at Yun Xiangye: "The palace luncheon is about to begin. What does the Crown Prince's Consort want to see Aunt Ye about?"

Yun Xiangye said, "I want to go change clothes. Aunt Ye, please help me lead the way."

Fu Qianran said, "I see. Then I'll go to the palace banquet first."

After Fu Qianran left, Ye Wanhe took Yun Xiangye to an abandoned courtyard next to Yuhua Palace where few people visited.

After entering the snow-covered courtyard that no one had cleared, Ye Wanhe asked, "Do you have something to say to me?"

Yun Xiangye took off her cloak and put it on Ye Wanhe, whose hands were frozen purple.

Ye Wanhe hurriedly said, "Sister, put it on yourself quickly."

Yun Xiangye said, "You're still injured. You should get dressed first. I'm wearing something warm underneath, not something as thin as you."

Yun Xiangye said to Ye Wanhe, "Sister, I have a way to help you leave the palace."

Ye Wanhe lowered her voice and said, "No, please don't try to get me out of the palace again. If I do, I'll get you into trouble..."

Yun Xiangye whispered, "My method will definitely allow you to leave the palace smoothly. Gu Yan told me that his mother has a secret medicine called a fake death drug. If you take it, it will be like faking death. You can fake your death and escape from the palace."

Ye Wanhe was stunned and said, "Faking death? This is a crime of deceiving the emperor! You absolutely cannot do this. You cannot bear the charge of deceiving the emperor for me."

Yun Xiangye said: "Faking your death is the same as dying. After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a Crown Princess, will he still investigate whether you are really dead or just faking it?

Before you fake your death, I will arrange an identity for you. Then you can return to Yongxing City with your new identity and ask your uncle and aunt to adopt you as their goddaughter. You have been away from the palace for a long time, and the neighbors in Yongxing City may not know you.

If you are afraid that the neighbors in Yongxing City will recognize you, then go to Hangzhou. I remember that you liked Hangzhou when you were young. You can live in Hangzhou... The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not know about your crime of deceiving the emperor."

Ye Wanhe shook her head and said, "No, this is too risky. The crime of deceiving the emperor is no joke."
