Gu Yan said, "Why are you so anxious? From the first to the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, there will be a New Year Lantern Festival in Chang'an City at night, and there will be no curfew. Perhaps His Highness will bring Aunt Ye out after nightfall?"

Yun Xiangye said, "You can go to the East Palace to ask for the exact time, or I can go with you to the East Palace to look for my sister first? Then we can leave the palace together with my sister."

Seeing Yun Xiangye's anxiety, Gu Yan agreed, "Okay, let's go to the East Palace first."

Yun Xiangye picked up Nuonuo who was playing nearby.

Gu Yan said, "Don't bring Nuonuo with you. You won't be able to talk to your sister properly later."

Yun Xiangye said, "But Jingru seems to have gone to the Taoist temple with her grandmother today, so there's no one to play with Nuonuo. If Nuonuo wakes up from her nap and doesn't see you, I'll definitely make a fuss."

Gu Yan chuckled and said, "Send Nuonuo to mother. Nuonuo won't cry when she sees mother."

Gu Yan asked Nuonuo, "Do you want to go to grandma's place?"

"Yes." Nuonuo nodded her little head.

Yun Xiangye then felt relieved to leave Nuonuo behind, and she followed Gu Yan to the East Palace.

As soon as she entered the East Palace, Yun Xiangye felt that the East Palace was shrouded in a low pressure atmosphere before a thunderstorm.

Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's hand and walked into the palace, "Your Highness."

Zhao Yun raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yan and Yun Xiangye and said, "It is against the rules for a palace maid to leave the palace. Wanhe will not leave the palace again today."

Yun Xiangye frowned upon hearing this. How could His Majesty go back on his word? His sister had been looking forward to leaving the palace on her birthday for a long time.

Yun Xiangye suppressed her complaints and said to Zhao Yun, "Your Highness, may I go see my sister?"

Zhao Yun whispered, "After she entered the palace, she is no longer your sister. It is inappropriate for you to call her sister. You should change this title from now on."

Gu Yan was really afraid that Yun Xiangye would behave in the same way she did in front of Zhao Yun, so he quickly grasped Yun Xiangye's wrist and said, "Xiangye, that's not a proper name. You should call me Aunt Ye from now on."

Yun Xiangye agreed, "Yes, Your Highness, can I meet Aunt Ye?"

Zhao Yun's eyes flashed.

Gu Yan said: "I guess Aunt Ye is busy. Let's see Aunt Ye another day."

Yunxiangye clenched her nails tightly.

What if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't let my sister leave the palace now?

Once I get the drug that can make me fake my death, I will have a way to get my sister out of the palace.

As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is truly despicable for him to go back on his word like this.

Yun Xiangye cursed Zhao Yun in her heart, and then left the palace with Gu Yan.

In the carriage, Yun Xiangye whispered in Gu Yan's ear, "Why haven't you got the fake death medicine yet?"

Gu Yan said, "We have to find a good reason to ask for it. Besides, haven't we already discussed it? The best time to take the fake death drug is during the days of His Highness's wedding, which is still four months away..."
