Chapter 209: Coming to Chang'an with Brother Yan
Seeing Yu'er crying in Zhao Yun's arms, Ye Wanhe took a deep breath and said, "Yu'er is innocent. If you want to kill me, then kill me. If you want to torture me, then torture me. Why make Yu'er cry so bitterly?"
Zhao Yun frowned and said coldly: "Do you think I will hurt Yu'er?"
Ye Wanhe walked to Zhao Yun's side and gently coaxed the little Yu'er in Zhao Yun's arms: "Yu'er, be good, mommy is here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Zhao Yun handed Yu'er to the nurse beside him and said, "Everyone, get out."
"yes!"
The palace maids withdrew in response.
Zhao Yun looked at Ye Wanhe coldly and said, "You don't even know the difference between superiors and subordinates now. Who allowed you to address me by my name?"
Ye Wanhe looked back at Zhao Yun and said, "I even dared to give you a fake death drug, let alone call you by your name."
Zhao Yun angrily stretched out his hand and grabbed Ye Wanhe's chin and said, "Ye Wanhe!"
Ye Wanhe tried to break free from Zhao Yun's control. When a person is not afraid of death and is not burdened by her nine clans, the imperial power that she once feared like a mountain pressing down on her head is now nothing but a cloud in her eyes.
Zhao Yun pushed Ye Wanhe against the nanmu pillar of the bedroom. When he was about to bend down to kiss Ye Wanhe, Ye Wanhe raised her hand to slap Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun grabbed Ye Wanhe's wrist and pulled her onto the bed.
Ye Wanhe frowned and looked at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun moved down and kissed Ye Wanhe's red lips.
Until Li Quan's voice came from outside.
"Your Highness, there are rumors out there that the son and daughter of Governor Yu of Yuezhou wants to see you."
Zhao Yun then stopped what he was doing and said to the outside, "Tell them to wait for me in the main hall."
Zhao Yun stood up and said to Ye Wanhe, "Behave yourself."
Ye Wanhe looked at Zhao Yun's departing back and wiped her lips with the back of her hand in disgust.

Yu Xihe followed Yu Wenlong into the East Palace wall. Looking at the high palace wall, she walked through it and arrived outside the main hall of the East Palace. She couldn't help but sigh, "Is this the East Palace? How majestic."
Yu Wenlong whispered to Yu Xihe: "You should know the rules."
Yu Xihe smiled and said, "I understand."
Yu Xihe entered the hall and looked at the smooth floor tiles engraved with lotus flowers. She also looked at the furnishings in the spacious hall, all of which were exquisite. This was a level of wealth that she had never experienced before.
"Brother Yan."
Yu Xihe looked at Zhao Yun who came in from the gate and called out with a smile, "Brother Yun."
Li Quan said from the side: "How dare you not greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? How can you address His Royal Highness by his name?"
Zhao Yun said to Li Quan: "It's okay. I promised her that I would take her as my adopted sister."
Li Quan said hurriedly: "Yes, Your Highness."
Yu Xihe listened to Li Quan's shrill voice and thought in her heart that this was the eunuch that others talked about. This eunuch was really rude to her.
"Your humble servant pays his respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Yu Wenlong bowed to Zhao Yun respectfully.
Zhao Yun said, "I have been living among the common people, and I have gained your trust. I will definitely reward you well. You can rest in Chang'an City first. I will tell my father the emperor one day to recognize Miss Yu as my adopted sister."
Yu Xihe looked at Zhao Yun today. He was wearing a black dragon robe with a round collar and four claws. It was obvious that he had an extraordinary temperament. She, a mere daughter of the prefect of Yuezhou, was not someone she could match up to. A adopted sister... well.
"Thank you, Brother Yun." Yu Xihe bowed and said.
Zhao Yun instructed Li Quan who was standing beside him, "Go to the city and arrange a place for the two siblings to live."
"Yes, Your Highness." Li Quan agreed.

After Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan came out of the East Palace, they did not go back to Qingfeng Garden, but went to the Ye family on West Street.
The news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come back to life and returned to the palace will soon spread throughout Chang'an City, and Yun Xiangye must first inform her uncle and aunt.
Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye were also shocked to learn that the Crown Prince had come back to life.
Aunt Ye breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that His Highness is not dead. The imperial doctors in the palace can't even figure out whether he is unconscious or dead. It's good that he is not dead. In this way, I don't have to worry about Wan He and the little grandson being an orphan and a widow."
Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan looked at each other and did not tell the truth to Ye's uncle and aunt.
After all, telling them would only add two more people who were worried.
Ye Zhimiao trotted in with a letter in his hand and said, "Dad and Mom, I received a letter from Xihe. Xihe has come to Chang'an City and will be able to see us today."
Yun Xiangye looked at Ye Zhimiao and asked, "Xihe? But is she Yu Xihe, the daughter of the magistrate of Shanyin County?"
"That's her." Ye Zhimiao said with a faint smile, "But now she is no longer the daughter of the Tongpan of Shanyin County. She is now the daughter of the prefect of Yuezhou City. Her father was promoted last year."
Ye Zhimiao said, "When her father was still a scholar and not yet the magistrate of Shanyin County, he lived in the alley next to my house. She and I were best friends when we were little, but I never thought she would come to Chang'an as well."
As soon as Ye Zhimiao finished speaking, the doorman came in and reported that the Yu brother and sister wanted to see him.
Ye Zhimiao hurried to the door to greet him.
"Hiho."
"Miaomiao."
The two close friends met each other after many days of separation and were very happy to see each other.
Yu Wenlong saw Gu Yan sitting in the room, and he stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Master Gu."
Gu Yan nodded slightly towards Yu Wenlong in response.
Ye Zhimiao held Yu Xihe's hand and chuckled, "Why did you come to Chang'an suddenly? You didn't even tell me in advance. I was so surprised."
Yu Xihe smiled and said, "I came to Chang'an with Brother Yan."
Seeing Yu Xihe's smile, Ye Zhimiao said to the little sister in an ambiguous tone: "Brother Yun? Who is Brother Yun~"
Yu Xihe said with a blushing face: "Brother Yun is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He was drugged by the Crown Princess and drifted to Yongxing City. I happened to discover Brother Yun's identity, so I sent him back to Chang'an."
"What?" Uncle Ye in the room heard Yu Xihe's words, his face changed and he looked at Gu Yan and Yun Xiangye, "Is this true?"
Aunt Ye also said excitedly: "Did Wanhe really drug the Crown Prince?"
Yun Xiangye hurriedly said, "Uncle, aunt, don't worry. My sister is still Wei Zhenzhu now. Even if she wants to kill all nine clans, you won't be implicated."
Aunt Ye said, "I'm not afraid of being implicated. I'm worried about Wan He."
"Wan He committed such a mistake, and I don't know what kind of torture she will receive!"
Ye Zhimiao snorted softly at the side, "That's what Ye Wanhe deserves. She didn't even want her parents for the position of Crown Princess. She is unkind and unfilial. She deserves the punishment."
Aunt Ye frowned and looked at Ye Zhimiao and said, "You are not allowed to talk about your sister like that!"
Ye Zhimiao asked: "Mom, are you still so partial at this time?"
Aunt Ye said, "I'm not partial to Wan He, but I believe Wan He is not an unfilial person. If you say anything bad about your sister again, get out of this house!"
Ye Zhimiao looked at Aunt Ye with disappointment and said, "Just go away. That unfilial daughter didn't even recognize you. Now she has committed a heinous crime, and you want to drive me away for her?"
Aunt Ye said angrily, "Wanhe is definitely not an unfilial daughter."
Ye Zhimiao ran out crying, and Yu Xihe quickly chased after her, "Miaomiao, don't cry. Brother Yan has given me and my brother a courtyard to live in. You can live with me. Don't cry."
Inside the house, Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye no longer cared about Ye Zhimiao.
Uncle Ye said to Yun Xiangye in a hurry: "Xiangye, your sister has made such a big mistake. Do you know how His Highness will punish her? You must not hide it from us."
Yun Xiangye said: "Your Highness just came back yesterday. We don't know how my sister is doing in the East Palace for the time being."
Gu Yan said, "Uncle, aunt, you two can rest assured. There is no decree from the palace to abolish the Crown Princess. My sister will be fine. Don't worry too much. I will take care of everything."
Uncle Ye knelt down towards Gu Yan and said, "Please save me..."
Gu Yan hurriedly helped Ye Yuan up and said, "Uncle, I can't bear your kneeling like this. Don't worry, I will definitely protect my sister's life. You two don't have to worry too much."
Ye Yuan then stood up, his face full of worry.
Yun Xiangye comforted her uncle and aunt for a long time and did not leave West Street until dusk.
After leaving West Street, Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said, "What's going on with Yu Xihe? Didn't Dad find out the whereabouts of the Crown Prince first? How come there's also the matter of Miss Yu? She called me Brother Yun all the time, and it gave me goosebumps."
Gu Yan said slowly: "I heard that when my father went to Yongxing City to look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Yu family also discovered His Royal Highness's identity and were sending His Royal Highness back to Chang'an. So the Yu brothers and sisters did make a contribution."
Yun Xiangye said, "No wonder Yu Xihe called me so affectionately, Brother Yan... Ugh."
Yun Xiangye imitated Yu Xihe's shouting and made herself feel sick.
Gu Yan frowned and said, "Why are you calling me Brother Yan? You should be calling me Brother Yan."
Yun Xiangye smiled and said, "Are you jealous?"
Gu Yan also smiled back: "Call me brother Yan quickly."
Yun Xiangye said, "I won't call her that. Do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to let Yu Xihe enter the Eastern Palace? That's why he prepared a courtyard and house for the Yu siblings to live in, and also allowed Yu Xihe to call him Brother Yan outside."
Gu Yanwei shook his head and said, "Your Highness's intentions should not be speculated casually."
