Chapter 136: Giving Zhao Yun a fake death drug
Zhao Yun held Ye Wanhe in his arms and whispered, "You are pregnant now, so don't let your emotions fluctuate too much. It won't be difficult for another day. You should calm down today."
Ye Wanhe said: "Your Highness..."
Zhao Yun said: "You will see him tomorrow."
Ye Wanhe pursed her lips tightly, knelt down in front of Zhao Yun and said, "I beg Your Highness to have mercy on me."
Zhao Yun frowned slightly and said, "It's only a day's work. If you are so anxious, then forget about meeting them."
Ye Wanhe listened to Zhao Yun's words and slowly responded, "Yes, Your Highness."
Zhao Yun ordered the palace maids to prepare the meal.
Seeing that Ye Wanhe had a good appetite, Zhao Yun chuckled and said, "I've seen that your appetite has improved in the past few days, and you've gained a lot of weight."
Ye Wanhe said: "After all, it is now the body of two people."
Given her current status, she cannot be buried within three days. After all, she is pregnant with the emperor's grandson. If she fakes her death, she will have to prepare for the burial in half a month. Naturally, she will have to eat more to make up for the consumption in this half month.
Zhao Yun picked up a piece of fish for Ye Wanhe and said, "Eat more to nourish your body."
Ye Wanhe accepted everything and ate whatever Zhao Yun picked for her.
At night, Ye Wanhe couldn't fall asleep. In fact, her impression of her parents was already vague. She hadn't seen them for twelve years and she didn't know if their faces were still the same as before.
There was a force around Ye Wanhe's waist, and Zhao Yun asked in a low voice: "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Ye Wanhe whispered, "I can't sleep."
Zhao Yun hugged Ye Wanhe tightly in his arms and said, "Go to sleep quickly." Ye Wanhe closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, but the more she did so, the more she couldn't fall asleep. The sound of Zhao Yun's continuous and steady breathing was in her ears. She only hoped to see her parents tomorrow.
Ye Wanhe fell asleep without knowing when. When she woke up, it was already bright. She hurriedly got up and washed, waiting for her parents to come.
The morning light shines into the lobby of Tao Gong Villa, and birds at the door sing from time to time.
In the main hall, Zhao Yun, who was sitting at the top, looked at the four members of the Ye family who were kneeling below. Upon closer inspection, he found that Ye Wanhe looked more like her mother.
Zhao Yun slowly said, "You are no longer Wan He's relatives, but she has been waiting for you for too long. I allowed you to meet today to fulfill her wish. After today, you will have nothing to do with Wan He and you are not allowed to meet again. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Facing the pressure from the crown prince, Mr. and Mrs. Ye Yuan, who were kneeling on the ground, did not even dare to raise their heads to look at Zhao Yun in front of them.
Even though Ye Zhimiao was always bold, she didn't dare to raise her eyes. She could only look at the auspicious cloud pattern embroidered with gold thread on Zhao Yun's black brocade boots.
Zhao Yun said, "Wan He is now the Crown Princess under His Majesty's imperial decree. When you see her, you must show respect. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Ye Yuan and his wife responded quickly.
Zhao Yun instructed the eunuch beside him, "Li Quan, go and ask Wan He to come out."
Li Quan agreed and left.
In the afternoon, Ye Wanhe heard Li Quan coming to call her, so she picked up her skirt and hurried to the lobby. When Ye Wanhe entered the lobby, she saw four people kneeling on the ground.
Ye Wanhe noticed the wrinkles on her parents' faces. They looked older than the ones she remembered.
Ye Wanhe hurried over, "Dad, Mom."
After hearing what Ye Wanhe said, Ye Yuan and Aunt Ye looked up at Ye Wanhe who was coming towards them. Their eyes were suddenly blurred with tears. Their daughter was only thirteen when she left home, but now she has grown into such a beautiful girl.
Ye Yuan heard the sound of Zhao Yun placing the teacup on the table, and he kowtowed to Ye Wanhe and said, "I, Ye Yuan, pay my respects to the Crown Princess."
Aunt Ye also followed suit and said, "I pay my respects to the Crown Princess."
Ye Wanhe then saw that Zhao Yun was still sitting at the head of the table. She bowed to Zhao Yun and hurried forward to help Ye's mother up: "Dad, Mom, get up quickly."
Mother Ye helped Ye Wanhe up and looked at her with tears in her eyes: "Crown Princess, I am not your mother."
Ye Wanhe looked at Zhao Yun who was sitting at the upper seat. She narrowed her eyes, with all kinds of emotions in her heart, but more of it was hatred.
It was the hatred that had been suppressed by fear.
Ye Wanhe looked at Ye Yuan who was standing beside her and said, "Dad, you should get up soon too."
Ye Yuan slowly stood up. He was nearly fifty years old, and tears were falling. "Crown Princess, you shouldn't call me daddy anymore. You are the daughter of the Wei family now."
Ye Wanhe's throat was sore and she said, "Dad and Mom, I have thought about the scene when we meet again countless times. I want to see you and hear your voices, but I didn't expect that after more than ten years, you would not want to recognize me as your daughter..."
The beard at the corners of Ye Yuan's lips was trembling, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Mother Ye kept crying. When she saw Ye Wanhe crying, she hugged her in her arms regardless of everything: "Wanhe...my daughter..."
Ye Wanhe hugged her mother tightly and cried in her arms, "Mother."
Mother Ye hugged Ye Wanhe tightly and said, "I don't want to recognize you as my daughter..."
"cough."
A light cough of displeasure was heard from the main room.
When Ye's mother heard the cough, she turned to look at Zhao Yun. She saw that Zhao Yun had a handsome appearance, but his phoenix eyes were so fierce that she didn't dare to look at him any more.
Ye Yuanlian stepped forward and tugged at Ye's mother's sleeve, and Ye's mother had to let go of Ye Wanhe in her arms.
Zhao Yun stood up and walked to Ye Wanhe's side, helped her sit on the chair, and said softly: "You are still pregnant, you should not be too sad, understand?"
Ye Wanhe closed her eyes tightly, and it took a while for her to hold back her tears. She looked at the two people who were still kneeling and said, "Brother, sister, you should get up soon. When I left, you were still very young. I wonder if you still remember me?"
Ye Li stood up and looked at Ye Wanhe and said, "I forgot what my sister looked like, but I still remember my sister..."
"Remember the Crown Princess." Ye Li was glared at by Zhao Yun and quickly changed his words.
Ye Wanhe looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Your Highness, can I have a few words with them alone?"
Zhao Yun frowned slightly and said, "There is no need to talk alone. Just meeting once is enough. We have met today. You can leave now."
Ye Wanhe hurriedly stood up from her chair again. She looked at her parents and said, "Your Highness, please let me talk to my father and mother for a few more words."
Zhao Yun looked at Ye Yuan, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Ye Yuan hurriedly bowed and said, "Crown Princess, I am not your father. Your father is the Duke of Wei. I will take my leave first."
After Ye Yuan finished speaking, he took Ye's mother's hand and was about to leave.
Ye Wanhe looked at their backs and felt endless sadness. Her hands were cold and her heart was filled with hatred for Zhao Yun. She had been looking forward to seeing her parents for so long, but she only met them once.
Ye Wanhe couldn't help but stagger two steps.
Zhao Yunlian stepped forward and supported Ye Wanhe, saying, "Wanhe."
Ye Wanhe clenched the purse in her arms and whispered, "I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for ten years, my father would not even recognize me as his daughter. Since they don't recognize me, I don't have to..."
Ye Wanhe said after a while, "I don't have to be the daughter of the Ye family anymore. From today on, I am Wei Zhenzhu."
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "I know you are always sensible about current affairs. You can rest assured and take care of your pregnancy in the villa before getting married..."
Ye Wanhe placed her hands on her lower abdomen, closed her eyes to hide the hatred she had for Zhao Yun, and a bold idea came to her mind.
Ye Wanhe said slowly in her heart: Child, you must be a husband. Only if you are a husband, mother won't have to endure for a few more years.
Ye Wanhe's previous fear of Zhao Yun turned into hatred for him now.
How could her parents not recognize their daughter after traveling thousands of miles to Chang'an? She didn't need to think too much to know that all this was coercion by Zhao Yun...
It's a pity that my parents, at such an old age, have to endure all the insults and threats from Zhao Yun...
Now, I am not completely sure that I can successfully fake my death and escape.
Rather than taking the fake death drug himself and committing the capital crime of deceiving the emperor, it would be better to give Zhao Yun the fake death drug after the emperor's grandson is born.
Zhao Yun never doubted the food she gave him, and he would have no doubts about the fake death drug she gave him after he was obedient and willing to be Wei Zhenzhu and gave birth to a child for him.
This way, she wouldn't have to worry about the fake death drug harming the baby in her belly, and she wouldn't have to live a life of hiding and fear.
The current emperor has only one child, Zhao Yun. If she gives birth to a little boy, her child will be the only grandson of the emperor.
If Zhao Yun takes the fake death drug and "dies", her child will be the crown prince, and she will be the mother of the crown prince. She will also be able to support the Ye family.
She will definitely make Zhao Yun pay for the humiliation her parents suffered today!
Gu Jingyu said that the symptoms of taking the fake death drug are like dying from a sudden heart attack, and even the best doctors cannot detect it by taking the pulse.
Only Gu Yan and Gu Jingyu knew about this, but Ye Wanhe was sure that the Gu family would not tell anyone. After all, her fake death drug came from the Gu family. If the Gu family dared to tell anyone, they would still be implicated.
Moreover, offending the future crown prince would not be of any benefit to them.
