Chapter 201: My Wife's Name Also Has the Character "禾"
Before leaving the Eastern Palace, Yun Xiangye left all the valuable jewelry she was wearing to Ye Wanhe.
Ye Wanhe did not refuse and accepted them all.
After all, she couldn't predict when she would fake her death and leave the palace. Most of the jewelry in the palace could not be sold. Yun Xiangye's jewelry was enough to keep her going outside the palace for some time.
Late at night, Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan left the East Palace and rode back to Qingfeng Garden.
As soon as they entered Qingfeng Garden, Gu Yan frowned and looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Since you already knew that His Highness was not dead, why didn't you tell me then?"
Yun Xiangye said, "I told you that you would definitely save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... Then my sister would not only bear the crime of drugging the Crown Prince, but also would not be able to get revenge. I was wrong to hide it from you for so many days, but we have different ideas on this matter and cannot make plans together. I only admit that I was wrong to hide it from you, but I still don't regret hiding it from you."
Gu Yan said: "I wonder if what you said about your love for me is true? Don't you know that this matter is enough to make our entire Gu family die without a burial place?"
Yun Xiangye said: "So you can divorce me and save your entire Gu family. I don't want to implicate you either."
Gu Yan couldn't help but get more angry and asked, "Do you think I can live alone if you die? My position in your heart is not as important as your sister's revenge?"
Yun Xiangye looked into Gu Yan's eyes and said, "Don't be angry, Gu Yan, it is true that I didn't think it through, but be fair, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was my cousin today and the Crown Princess was your cousin, what would you do?
If I had known about my sister's plan earlier, I would have advised her. But when I knew about it, my sister had already committed a serious crime. How could I not help her conceal it? In my heart, your status is definitely higher than that of my sister. "
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye unhappily, "Really?"
Yun Xiangye threw herself into Gu Yan's arms and said, "Well, you are the one I love the most."
Gu Yan said: "Do you love Nuonuo more or me more?"
Yun Xiangye: "Gu Yan, when did you become so childish?"
Yun Xiangye Yinyin realized that Gu Yan was angry this time not because she almost put the Gu family into an irretrievable situation, but because Gu Yan felt that he cared about his sister more.
Gu Yan lowered his head and bit Yun Xiangye's red lips. "You are good at lying. You keep saying that you love me the most, but in fact, the one you love the most in your heart is Nuo Nuo."
Yun Xiangye said painfully, "Gu Yan, you are at least a minister in the court. Isn't it childish for you to be jealous of your daughter?"
Gu Yan said: "When I was the same age as Nuonuo, my father was already the Prime Minister, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, and he was also jealous of me. How can I be childish?"
"On the contrary, you, who clearly loved Nuonuo the most in your heart, lied to me all the time."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and chuckled, "Gu Yan, it's different. I love Nuonuo the most because Nuonuo is my daughter who came out of my belly after ten months of pregnancy. I love her. I also love Shuangbai because she is my biological sister who has the same father and mother as me. I love Sister He because she is my cousin and took good care of me when I was young...
But you are different. We have no blood relationship, no childhood friendship, and my love for you is simply because I love you, without any preconditions. "
After listening to Yun Xiangye's words, Gu Yan picked her up and placed her on the bed, then lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Yun Xiangye saw the tears in Gu Yan's eyes and she smiled softly, "Why are you crying?"
Gu Yan said: "I didn't cry, but I thought that with what you said, if I was really implicated by you and punished by His Majesty, it would be worth it."
Gu Yan said softly, "Don't say the word 'break' anymore in the future. I don't want to be birds of the same forest that fly away separately when disaster strikes. I just want to be birds of a feather flying together with you. No matter how many difficulties there are in the future, we will face them together."
Yun Xiangye also had tears in her eyes, and she put her arms around Gu Yan's neck, "Well, no matter how many surprises there are in the future, we will move forward hand in hand."
The gauze curtains were hanging lightly, and although it was winter outside, it was warm as spring inside the house.
Unlike the nobles in Chang'an who had warm charcoal fires burning in their rooms, Zhao Yun was freezing cold in the cowshed, and his whole body was aching.
Zhu Ting is a cowardly and useless guy. He is the second son of the Zhu family winery, but he is treated like a slave by his elder brother and younger brother. Now as Zhu Ting's servant, he cannot escape the fate of being tortured.
Zhao Yun wanted to escape from this dirty, smelly, drafty and freezing cowshed, but he had no household registration and going somewhere else might not be as good as staying in Yongxing City. At least he wouldn't starve to death here. Now he could only wait for an opportunity to send a message to Chang'an.
Zhao Yun couldn't sleep at night, so he simply got up and practiced martial arts in the yard, hoping to recover and strengthen his body as soon as possible. Maybe he could walk back to Chang'an from Jiangnan without any written household registration.
"Help me, Third Cousin, you can't do this to me... Third Cousin..."
Zhao Yun heard a sound coming from the middle of the night. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man who was looking at a girl push away the man in front of him and run into the yard under the light of lanterns from the eaves.
Zhao Yun didn't want to meddle in other people's business. After all, his current identity was very troublesome.
"Sister Xiao He, your cousin has been in love with you for a long time. Why are you running away? When your aunt and uncle return from Chang'an, I will ask them to marry you."
The voice of the third son of the Zhu family came from afar.
When Zhao Yun heard the words "Sister Xiaohe", he frowned slightly, grabbed the hand of the girl who was running over, covered her lips, and took her to the cowshed.
Yu Xihe had her lips covered by someone's hands. She was full of panic and kept struggling with her hands, but she saw the people behind her dragging her into the cowshed. There was no movement and it was very quiet. She heard the footsteps of her third cousin getting closer and closer, and she dared not move anymore.
The third son of the Zhu family did not come to the cowshed. He just frowned and said, "This little girl is really good at running. I don't know where she ran to."
Zhu Laosan was quite disgusted with the courtyard where Zhu Ting lived, and left cursing.
After a long time, there was no sound from the third son of the Zhu family. Zhao Yun finally let go of the hand that was covering Yu Xihe and lit the oil lamp in the cowshed.
Yu Xihe watched the oil lamp being lit and was surprised to see Zhao Yun's appearance. "You are very handsome. Apart from Sister Xiangye's husband from another place, I have never seen such a handsome man."
Zhao Yun frowned slightly. The daughters of ordinary people just don't know the rules.
Yu Xihe said to Zhao Yun: "Thank you for saving me today. I will repay you well."
Zhao Yun didn't say anything.
Yu Xihe said: "I dare not go back to the house tonight. My father is the newly appointed governor of Yuezhou City. Because the Crown Prince passed away, my parents and my brothers went to Chang'an to mourn the death of the Crown Prince and have not returned yet.
I was originally celebrating the New Year alone, and my grandmother, uncle, and aunt said they felt sorry for me being alone and brought me here to celebrate the New Year, but who would have thought that they actually wanted to make my third cousin marry me, and I don’t want to marry my third cousin.”
Zhao Yun listened to Yu Xihe introducing herself. He took a branch and wrote on the ground, "Is your father Yu Bai?"
Yu Xihe looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Well, my father's name is Yu Bai? Can't you speak?"
Zhao Yun looked at Yu Xihe. As her father was the prefect of Yuezhou, he could naturally pass the official documents to the emperor. But Zhao Yun didn't know how trustworthy Yu Xihe and Yu Bai were.
If Yu Bai goes to Chang'an, will he be bribed by Ye Wanhe?
Zhao Yun thought for a while and wrote with a wooden stick: "You don't have to thank me. I saved you because you have the same name as my wife, and my wife's name also has the character 禾 in it."
Yu Xihe looked through the oil lamp at the words Zhao Yun had written with the tree branch and said, "Your handwriting is really beautiful, even more beautiful than that of Sister Xiangye's husband from another province. However, my word 'He' is the word for 'He' in lotus leaf, not the word 'He' in your wife's handwriting."
Zhao Yun just stared at the word "禾" and clenched the branch in his hand. He had only one thought in his mind: he must get back from Ye Wanhe all the humiliation he had suffered in the past few days.
Yu Xihe looked at Zhao Yun's profile under the lamp and said, "You are my second cousin's new mute slave, right? Where is your wife? Where is she working as a maid? You are so handsome, so your wife must be even more beautiful, right?"
Zhao Yun ignored Yu Xihe and walked into the cowshed, closed his eyes and rested. What emerged before his eyes were the little moments he had spent with Ye Wanhe.
Yu Xihe looked at the words written by Zhao Yun with a wooden stick, and the more she looked at them, the more familiar they felt: "No, your handwriting looks so familiar, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."
