Chapter 112: The Imperial Decree Grants Marriage
Ye Wanhe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Zhao Yun say this.
Zhao Yun stared at Su Zhan and said, "Get lost!"
Ye Wanhe looked at Su Zhan, signaling with her eyes that Su Zhan should leave quickly.
Su Zhan did not make things difficult for Ye Wanhe. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will take my leave first."
After Su Zhan left, Zhao Yun reached out and grabbed Ye Wanhe's wrist, saying coldly, "I will never take you out of the palace again."
Ye Wanhe said: "Yes, Your Highness."
It will only take about a month.
Zhao Yun looked down at the blood flowing from his handkerchief, frowned and ordered the guard, "Go find some medicine." "Yes," the guard responded.
Zhao Yun frowned and looked at Ye Wanhe's wound, full of anger.
In the distance, two young women were looking at the scene from afar.
"Meng Qi, is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Whose daughter is this woman next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? She looks unfamiliar to me. Why is she so intimate with him?"
Xu Mengqi raised her eyes and looked over. For a moment, she couldn't determine the identity of the daughter, but she saw that the Crown Prince was very intimate with her.

Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan took Nuonuo to the backyard of the temple to look at the peach blossoms in full bloom.
Gu Yan saw the Crown Prince's guards rushing past and asked hurriedly, "Shuangliu, what's wrong? Did something happen to the Crown Prince?"
Shuangliu said: "Aunt Ye's wrist was injured, I'm going to find the golden wound medicine and go back."
"What?" Yun Xiangye's heart tightened.
Gu Yan picked up Nuonuo and said to Yun Xiangye, "Don't be too nervous. Let's go over and see how badly Aunt Ye is injured."
Yun Xiangye hurriedly followed Gu Yanqian to the mountain spring.
When Yun Xiangye saw that the wound on Ye Wanhe's wrist was obviously a knife wound, she couldn't help but look at Zhao Yun. However, due to the imperial power, Yun Xiangye could only endure many words.
"elder sister……"
Ye Wanhe smiled at Yun Xiangye and said, "I'm fine. I just got scratched accidentally. Don't worry too much."
Zhao Yun took the golden wound medicine from the guard beside him and was about to apply it to Ye Wanhe.
Ye Wanhe hurriedly said to Zhao Yun, "Your Highness, I can apply the medicine myself. I dare not trouble you."
Zhao Yun didn't listen to Ye Wanhe and took the medicine and applied it to Ye Wanhe.
Yun Xiangye saw the knife stained with blood and couldn't help but frown. This didn't look like an accidental cut. The wound was very deep.
In the distance, Sheng Rujiao whispered to Xu Mengqi, "Mengqi, who is that woman? She seems to be very familiar with the Yun family... And the Crown Prince personally applied medicine to that woman. Will this daughter be appointed as the Crown Princess the day after tomorrow?"
Xu Mengqi looked at Sheng Rujiao and frowned, "Absolutely not! A daughter who neither you nor I have ever met, it is obvious that her family background is not that high, the position of the Crown Princess will never be hers."
Sheng Rujiao whispered, "Could it be a girl from some noble family out there?"
Xu Mengqi said, "Of course not. Girls from aristocratic families value their reputation the most. How could they be so intimate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when they were unknown? How could someone who can be so close to a merchant girl like Yun have a good family background? Let's go. It's more important to go and worship Buddha."
Sheng Rujiao said, "It is rumored that the Crown Princess will be chosen between you and Lin Bolan this time. If you really become the Crown Princess, Gu Yan will probably regret it for rejecting you earlier."
Xu Mengqi smiled softly and said, "I only regretted that I was born two years later. As a result, I was not yet fifteen years old when the Crown Prince was selecting a concubine. I was not allowed to participate in the selection. Choosing Gu Yan was a second choice. Fortunately, God still had mercy on me and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince choose another Crown Princess..."
Xu Mengqi was born in the Mansion of Marquis Zhenbei. Her father was the emperor's companion in study and held the position of Grand Tutor, a high position of power. Their Xu family was a rare family that held military power.
As noble as Xu Mengqi was, she had dreamed since childhood that she would marry the most noble man in the world.
At the beginning, the one she chose was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but after all, she was nearly five years younger than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was eighteen years old and chose a Crown Princess, she was only thirteen years old.
As a result, when she later chose a husband, she could only set her sights on Gu Yan. Although other princes of the Zhao family, such as Zhao Jing, also had noble status, the King of Chu had no real power in the court and was just an idle prince.
Prince Zhao Rui of Xiang County is of even nobler birth. His father is your Majesty's half-brother, and his mother is your Majesty's half-sister. His bloodline to your Majesty is extremely close.
Although Zhao Jing and Zhao Rui grew up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is only one prince in the palace now. Naturally, since Zhao Jing and Zhao Rui have the same surname as Zhao, they have no power in the court.
Counting this way, in the entire Chang'an City, apart from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Gu Yan's bloodline is the most noble and powerful.
Three or four years ago, she left Yan Qian and proposed to Gu Yan. At that time, there were four other noble ladies proposing marriage. The Princess's Mansion did not want to lose face to these four ladies, so it was not accepted.
Xu Mengqi is now feeling lucky that Gu Yan did not agree to her proposal and chose such a girl from a small merchant family who is not presentable.
Xu Mengqi was not afraid that the position of Crown Princess would fall to Lin Bolan. In terms of family background, she was much more noble than Lin Bolan.

Next to the mountain spring.
After Zhao Yun applied medicine to Ye Wanhe, he looked at Gu Yan and asked, "How old is Yun Xiangye's cousin this year?"
Gu Yan said: "I'm twenty-five, almost twenty-six."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly, wondering why Zhao Yun asked about his cousin?
Zhao Yun said, "He's almost twenty-six years old. It's inappropriate for him to have not married or had children at such an old age. I will grant him a marriage today..."
Zhao Yun didn't have any girl in mind for the time being. The ones who were mentioned most in front of him were Lin Bolan and Xu Mengqi.
Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said, "Let Xu Mengqi, the daughter of the Zhenbei Marquisate, marry him. It would be a great blessing for him to marry such a noble lady."
Ye Wanhe lowered her head and dared not speak.
Yun Xiangye was extremely shocked when he heard this. "Your Highness, this is absolutely impossible. Miss Xu was born in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and is a noble lady from Chang'an. My cousin is just a merchant and is seven years older than Miss Xu. He is really out of reach."
Zhao Yun said: "You are so high up that you can even get close to Gu Yan..."
Gu Yan saw Yun Xiangye's expression change, and looked at Zhao Yun with pleading eyes, "Your Highness."
Zhao Yun said, "This marriage is settled, but on March 3, I will ask my father to issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage."
Gu Yan said, "Your Highness, if you want to issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage, shouldn't you discuss it with the Zhenbei Marquisate? After all, Xu Mengqi is the eldest daughter of the Zhenbei Marquisate, the apple of Uncle Xu's eye. If you arrange her marriage so hastily, it will probably disappoint the Zhenbei Marquisate."
Zhao Yun said: "No need to discuss, I have made up my mind, Wanhe, what do you think?"
Ye Wanhe whispered, "The matchmaker that Your Highness has arranged must be an excellent match."
