Chapter 207 Ye Wanhe Must Be Executed
Inside the East Palace bedroom, the candlelight flickered slightly.
After a long time, Zhao Yun let go of Ye Wanhe, took her hand, pulled her onto the bed, and threw her onto the quilt.
Ye Wanhe raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Yun, her eyes full of confusion.
Ye Wanhe had thought many times whether Zhao Yun would want to kill her or punish her severely when he came back, but she never thought that he would want to do this right after he came back.
Zhao Yun untied the gauze curtain to cover the bed, leaned over and kissed Ye Wanhe again, and untied the knot of Ye Wanhe's clothes with his fingers.
Ye Wanhe looked at her own reflection in Zhao Yun's eyes through the faint light coming in through the gap in the gauze curtain.
The bed curtains swayed slightly, and clothes kept falling out from inside the curtains.
“Don’t, don’t…”
All the words that Ye Wanhe had not finished saying were swallowed up by Zhao Yun.
An unknown amount of time had passed, but when Ye Wanhe felt exhausted all over, Zhao Yun was still unwilling to let her go. She was so exhausted that she fell asleep.
When Zhao Yun saw Ye Wanhe in his arms, he reached out and hooked her hair that was wet with sweat on her forehead, and carried her to the bathing pool behind the East Palace.
When Ye Wanhe slowly woke up, she found herself in the bathtub. She quickly reached out and grabbed Zhao Yun's neck.
Zhao Yun put his arm around Ye Wanhe's waist and frowned coldly: "How could I not know that you were so brave? If you want to take revenge on me, why don't you do it more straightforwardly? Kill me directly? Can't bear to kill me."
Ye Wanhe whispered, "It's not that I can't bear to kill you, but I can't even kill chickens and ducks, let alone a living person. I'm not as cruel and cold-hearted as you."
Zhao Yun pinched Ye Wanhe's chin with his other hand and said, "You are not cruel yet? You can feed me fake death drugs and sell me as a slave. Isn't that cruel?
We have slept together for seven years, Ye Wanhe, I promised you the most noble status for a woman in the world, how dare you feed me a fake death drug? "
Ye Wanhe said: "So Your Highness knows that I am Ye Wanhe. May I ask what is the name of the current Crown Princess? I told you from the beginning that I don't want to be a Crown Princess in any other capacity, but you not only forced me to do so, but also forced and humiliated my parents and made me break off relations with them! Why can't I take revenge on you?
I don’t want the position of Crown Princess. I would rather be a slave. At least I don’t have to sever my relationship with my parents. At least as a palace maid, I have the opportunity to see my parents once a year…”
Zhao Yun frowned coldly and said, "Your Ye family's family background is really humble."
"Lowly?" Ye Wanhe laughed sarcastically, "Your Highness, the person you are hugging right now is the most lowly and humble person in your eyes. You have noble blood, so why do you have to be so lowly as to get close to a lowly and humble merchant girl like me?"
Zhao Yun frowned unhappily: "Even so, you shouldn't have drugged me and faked my death. Do you really think you can protect Yu'er and help him grow up to be the emperor?"
Ye Wanhe narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhao Yun and said, "What about the life of my first child? Zhao Yun! Do you know how much I hate you?
After the loss of my first child, every time I slept with you, I felt sick to my stomach for being so close to the man who killed my children.
From that moment on, I looked forward to leaving the palace when I turned 25, so I could leave you forever! And what did you think of me?
I waited so long until I was twenty-five, but you made me stay in the palace for the rest of my life just for your own selfish desires. Do you know how much I hate you and how disgusted I am with you?"
Zhao Yun held Ye Wanhe's chin tightly, "Then you will continue to hate me and disgust me. You have committed such a heinous crime, and you must pay me back for all the suffering I have endured in the past six months."
As Zhao Yun spoke, he kissed Ye Wanhe's lips once again.
He pushed her to the edge of the bathtub without any mercy.
Ye Wanhe fell asleep again. She heard Yuer crying in a trance. She wanted to open her eyes, but she was too weak to do so.
Ye Wanhe was drowsy and had many dreams, one after another, and she couldn't wake up no matter what. She seemed to know that she was dreaming and wanted to wake up, but she seemed to be possessed by a ghost and couldn't wake up for a long time.

The next morning, in Qingfeng Courtyard.
Yun Xiangye almost didn't sleep all night, waiting for news from the East Palace, but no bad news came all night.
Gu Yan didn't sleep much either. He just comforted Yun Xiangye: "Dad said yesterday that the Crown Prince didn't intend to torture my sister to death. He wanted to make my sister the Crown Princess for life to avenge her."
Yun Xiangye said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is indeed insidious..."
Gu Yan covered Yun Xiangye's lips, "Shh."
Yun Xiangye said: "I only said it in front of you. You are worthy of being the crown prince of a country. You know what my sister cares about the most."
Gu Yan smiled and said, "I just feel that His Highness's feelings for Sister He are much deeper than we thought."
Yun Xiangye said, "What kind of feelings? If there were real feelings, he would only love the Ye family and all the people in it. How could he bear to treat his uncle and aunt like this? It's dawn now, can we go to the palace now?"
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Well, let's go to the palace."
In Fengyi Palace.
Zhao Yun came to pay his respects early in the morning.
Queen Wei in the room saw Zhao Yun, who had become thinner, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. Regardless of her status as the mother of the country and the head of the six palaces, she went over and hugged Zhao Yun tightly in her arms, just like she hugged him when he was a child.
"Yun'er, you are finally back, and you are finally safe and sound... Mother has thought about exchanging her life for yours countless times. Now that you are back, mother is willing to leave at any time."
His Majesty on the side said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense."
Zhao Yun patted Queen Wei on the back and said, "Mother, I'm fine."
Zhao Yun looked at His Majesty again, knelt down and said, "Father, Mother, I am unfilial and have made you two sad for me."
His Majesty helped Zhao Yun up and said, "It's good that you are still alive. Have you thought about how to deal with the Crown Princess?"
Zhao Yun said: "I've thought about it. If she doesn't want to be the Crown Princess, then I will make her the Crown Princess and take revenge on her."
His Majesty said with a sullen face, "What kind of revenge is this? You have survived and returned to life, so you must have a reason to tell the outside world. Ye Wanhe actually dared to drug you, how can you let her go so easily? She must be deposed as the Crown Princess and executed by slow slicing to serve as a warning to others!"
Zhao Yun said, "Father, the fact that I am not dead can be explained to the public because I fainted due to a serious illness. The imperial physician did not find out what happened and thought I had passed away. Later, when I woke up, there is no need to tell the public that Ye Wanhe drugged me."
Queen Wei frowned and said, "Yun'er, are you really going to protect that vicious woman like this?"
Zhao Yun said, "Mother, I am not protecting her. I just think that the death penalty is too easy for her. Only by making her live a life worse than death for the rest of her life can I relieve the hatred in my heart."
Queen Wei said, "Let her continue to be the head of the East Palace? Is it worse than death to become the most noble woman in the world?"
Zhao Yun hummed, "For her, this is a fate worse than death."
His Majesty said angrily: "Yun'er, your father cannot agree to your decision. Ye Wanhe has committed such a serious crime and must be executed."
