Chapter 126: Cutting off Yun Xiangye’s Tongue
Gu Yan wanted to refute, but was stunned for a moment, because he couldn't refute Yun Xiangye's words. Even he himself began to doubt his love for Yun Xiangye...
Gu Yan had seen his grandfather love his grandmother since he was young, his father was even more possessive of his mother, his uncle was willing to have only one queen in the six palaces for his aunt, his uncle from the Xie family was willing to be ridiculed by his colleagues for his aunt, and his grandfather was willing to give up the power of the country for his grandmother...
In Gu Yan's opinion, as a husband, he must treat his wife well and be devoted to her.
Gu Yan had always thought that this was love. When they were in Jiangnan, their lives were peaceful and harmonious. They were newlyweds and had just experienced sex. Gu Yan thought he loved Yun Xiangye, especially at night...
After having Nuonuo, the couple became even sweeter and sweeter. Gu Yan thought that was the love between husband and wife.
But Gu Yan was a little confused at the moment. What if it was not Yun Xiangye who came to marry him? What if it was another woman? Would he also have "love" for her because she was his wife?
Gu Yan himself was doubting whether he really loved Yun Xiangye.
Seeing that Gu Yan was silent, Yun Xiangye said, "The fact that you can think about this question shows that you don't love me. After my sister's wedding, we will divorce and you can find another woman you truly love."
Gu Yan pulled Yun Xiangye into his arms and said, "No, I won't divorce you. Xiangye, what you said is totally wrong. You said that I only like my wife, but now you are my wife. It's not another woman, it's you!"
Yun Xiangye struggled to break free from Gu Yan's embrace and said, "You never really loved me, so you might as well let me go. There's nothing wrong with being siblings. This way, you and I won't be separated forever, and Nuonuo will still have a father and a mother. After the divorce, Nuonuo doesn't have to be the daughter of only one person. If one day I bring Nuonuo back to Jiangnan, I will bring her back to Chang'an every three years so that she can see her mother... and you..."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said, "Since you don't love me, you might as well let me and Nuonuo go and find a woman you truly love."
Gu Yan frowned tightly, "Yun Xiangye, what you said is all nonsense."
"Is what I said a perverse logic..." Yun Xiangye pointed her finger at Gu Yan's heart, "You understand this better than I do."
Yun Xiangye said: "Think about it carefully, I'm going back to my room first."
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye's departing back and couldn't help but fall into deep thought and did not chase after her.
Yun Xiangye returned to the house. She dismissed all the maids and asked Run'er to leave.
She lay alone on the bed, crying silently. During these three years, she had been sincere.
It was not until she came to Chang'an that she gradually understood that the love between husband and wife for the past three years was only because she was Gu Yan's wife, and that was why Gu Yan was so self-righteous and loved her on the surface, but in fact he did not care about anything about her.
For example, he felt that giving her the high and mighty position of Prince Ning's Consort was enough to show his love for her, but he did not take her situation to heart.
Gu Yan's love is superficial and can be given to any woman. No matter who the woman who brought good luck to Gu Yan that day was, he would treat her the same way, so he would not care about his embarrassing situation.
Yun Xiangye wiped her tears with a handkerchief and thought, this is the last time she will cry for Gu Yan.
My husband in Jiangnan is gone.
Today, Gu Yan is the Prince of Ning.
Yun Xiangye thought that it was not so difficult for her to let go. After all, Gu Yan was not a bad person.
Gu Yan saved me, and now I am even with what I owe him.
Yun Xiangye sincerely hoped that Gu Yan could meet the girl he really liked. When he met her one day, he would understand why she had to ask for a divorce now...
As for myself, I have already given up. I just want to raise Nuonuo and develop the Five Colors Embroidery Workshop.
As Yun Xiangye was thinking, she fell asleep.
Early in the morning, when Yun Xiangye was still asleep, she was awakened by Yin Liu.
"Princess, someone from the East Palace is here to ask you to go there."
Yun Xiangye was afraid that something might happen to Sister He, so she hurriedly got up, washed and dressed in a hurry, without even combing her hair. She just quickly tied her hair up with a hairpin and went to the East Palace.
Yun Xiangye entered the East Palace and was taken to the bedroom.
When Yun Xiangye entered, she saw Ye Wanhe, who had gotten up early, pruning the peach blossoms in a porcelain vase.
"Sister He."
Seeing Yun Xiangye coming, Ye Wanhe smiled and asked, "Why are you in the East Palace?"
Yun Xiangye said: "His Highness sent someone to invite me here."
Ye Wanhe couldn't help but frown, "Does he want you to threaten me again..."
Yun Xiangye said: "Sister, you don't have to be threatened because of me. After all, I am still the eldest princess' daughter-in-law."
"Now still...what does that mean? Do you still want to divorce Prince Ning?"
Yun Xiangye said: "Well, after you marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will divorce Gu Yan."
Ye Wanhe said: "Perhaps, I will not have the day of my wedding. I don't want to abandon my parents, and I can't abandon them for the position of Crown Princess."
Yun Xiangye whispered: "But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
Ye Wanhe cut off the branches of the peach blossoms in the porcelain vase, "I am not even afraid of death now. The worst possible outcome is just death."
Ye Wanhe looked at Yun Xiangye meaningfully. Yun Xiangye understood what Ye Wanhe meant. She smiled softly, "Yes, sister."
Yun Xiangye didn't know why the Crown Prince asked her to come to the palace, but it would be great to be able to chat with her sister and reminisce about the past. After all, she knew very few people in Chang'an City.
Yun Xiangye chatted with Ye Wanhe for a long time before she heard the sound of greetings coming from outside the door.
Yun Xiangye also hurriedly bowed respectfully to the Crown Prince who had come, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Zhao Yun looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Wanhe's pregnancy is unstable now, so she needs to rest well in the palace. In order to prevent her from getting bored, you should come to the palace more often to accompany her."
Yun Xiangye looked at Zhao Yun in disbelief. He had actually changed his temper? When did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince become so kind?
Zhao Yun looked at Ye Wanhe again and said, "Father has ordered his officials to draft an edict to grant you, Wei Zhenzhu, the title of Crown Princess."
Ye Wanhe picked up the pruning scissors. After she cut off the entire peach branch, she looked up at Zhao Yun and said, "Your Highness, I don't want to be Wei Zhenzhu. I am just Ye Wanhe."
Zhao Yun whispered, "The crime of disobeying the imperial order is to execute all nine clans. Even if you are not afraid of death... don't you care about the lives of everyone in your Ye family?"
Yun Xiangye frowned.
Ye Wanhe held onto the table beside her and slowly knelt down, saying, "Your Highness is a benevolent prince who works hard and loves the people. It is not appropriate for me to be known as a violent person who takes human lives lightly. Everyone has their own responsibilities. I disobeyed Your Highness, and it was my fault. Your Highness can just sentence me to death. Taking the lives of everyone in the Ye family will only damage your reputation."
Zhao Yun looked at Yun Xiangye standing aside and said to Ye Wanhe, "I am not afraid of damaging my reputation. Yun Xiangye's words to me before were disrespectful, which was a crime of great disrespect. Her words insulted the Crown Prince. I could have cut off her tongue."
Yun Xiangye: “…”
