Ye Wanhe hardly slept until she was so sleepy in the early morning that she fell asleep.

But just after she closed her eyes for a while, she heard a noise outside. She was so sleepy that she didn't want to open her eyes or get up.

Ye Wanhe slept for a while amid the noise, and then she heard Li Quan's voice.

"Your Highness, we've searched the East Palace for most of the time, but there's no sign of Aunt Ye."

"Keep looking!"

Ye Wanhe listened to the footsteps of the soldiers outside. She put her hand on her lower abdomen and forced herself to stand up.

Ye Wanhe walked to the door and opened it. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Zhao Yun in front of her, wearing a black robe.

Seeing Ye Wanhe opening the door and walking out, Zhao Yun stepped forward and hugged her tightly in his arms, asking, "Why are you here?"

Ye Wanhe whispered, "It was too late last night. I was afraid that if I went back to the palace maids' quarters, I would disturb the other maids' sleep, so I just found a random place to lie down. I shouldn't have trespassed into the palace without permission."

Zhao Yun hugged Ye Wanhe tightly in his arms, "We've been looking for you in the East Palace for over an hour. Didn't you hear any sound?"

Ye Wanhe raised her eyes to look at Zhao Yun and said, "I fell asleep."

Seeing Ye Wanhe's pale face, Zhao Yun said to Li Quan, "Go and call the imperial physician."

Ye Wanhe hurriedly said, "I don't need the imperial physician to see me... Princess Jingyu already saw me yesterday."

Zhao Yun said, "You look so bad, it would be reassuring to have an imperial physician take your pulse."

Ye Wanhe hurriedly said, "No need, Your Highness. I, with my humble body, dare not let the imperial physician diagnose my pulse. I will just lie down for a while."

However, Zhao Yun still let Li Quan go to find the imperial physician.

Seeing this, Ye Wanhe's heart was beating like a drum.

In Qingfeng Garden.

Yun Xiangye woke up when she heard Nuonuo's laughter. She got up and walked to the window, and saw Gu Jingyu playing with Nuonuo in the yard.

Seeing Yun Xiangye at the window, Gu Jingyu smiled faintly and said, "Sister-in-law, I plan to go see Aunt Queen later and ask her for Aunt Ye."

Yun Xiangye said, "The Queen may not let Aunt Ye leave the palace."

Gu Jingyu said: "Why not? The Queen's aunt loves me very much. I am just a palace maid. The Queen will definitely do as I wish."

Yun Xiangye smiled and thought it would be better to give it a try.

If Gu Jingyu could ask the Queen to let her sister leave the palace, she could avoid the trouble of using the fake death drug.
