Chapter 218: His Highness Allowed Me to Call Him Brother Yan
Yu Xihe whispered, "I dare not marry the Prince of Xiang."
Ye Wanhe smiled softly and said, "You have done a favor to His Highness, so why can't you marry the Prince of Xiang?"
Yu Xihe clenched her fists and whispered, "I can't marry the Prince of Xiang because Miaomiao loves him. Miaomiao and I are close friends, and I can't snatch the man she loves..."
Ye Wanhe paused for a moment. Her own sister actually liked Prince Xiang?
Ye Wanhe looked at Yu Xihe and asked, "Why did you come to see His Highness today?"
Yu Xihe said, "I don't have anything important to talk to Brother Yun about. Since Brother Yun is not here, I will take my leave first."
"Stop!" Seeing Yu Xihe turning around to leave, Ye Wanhe said, "You can't just call the Crown Prince by his name. This is in the palace, so you should be careful when addressing him in the future."
Yu Xihe pouted when she heard what Ye Wanhe said. She looked at Ye Wanhe with hatred in her eyes. She said unwillingly, "Brother Yan didn't forbid me to call him Brother Yan."
Ye Wanhe laughed and said, "Your Highness is busy with official duties, so he naturally won't correct the rules of a small family like you. But you and I are from the same hometown, and I recommended your father to be the prefect. You are also the daughter of an official now, so you should know some rules. I, the Crown Princess, am teaching you the rules, but you are still not convinced?"
Yu Xihe said, "Your Highness allowed me to call you Brother Yan."
Ye Wanhe picked up the phoenix hairpin beside her and put it on her bun. She glanced at Yu Xihe who was unyielding, but she just smiled and said nothing more to her, "Go down."
Yu Xihe turned around and left the bedroom. After she went out, she frowned, somewhat puzzled. Ye Wanhe had clearly drugged His Highness, so why would His Highness let Ye Wanhe off so easily?
Ye Wanhe actually embarrassed herself because of a name, which really lived up to the saying "a villain succeeds".
Yu Xihe left the East Palace with a sad and angry look on her face. She met a woman who looked very noble. Yu Xihe did not recognize the woman in gorgeous clothes, but she recognized the man next to her: "Brother Chu Jing."
Zhao Jing looked back and then looked at Yu Xihe and asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm Yu Xihe, have you forgotten? Five years ago, you took me to buy food, but I was quite young at that time, so you might not recognize me."
Zhao Jing then remembered that five years ago when he was in Jiangnan, he met a little girl who looked very friendly. At that time, her father had just passed the imperial examination and became the magistrate of Shanyin County.
The little girl was lively and cute, and Zhao Jing was particularly impressed. Five years later, she had grown into a graceful young lady.
Zhao Jing smiled and said, "It turned out to be you. You've grown up now. I almost couldn't recognize you."
Wei Xi raised an eyebrow and said, "Yu Xihe? This name sounds familiar. Are you the girl who saved my cousin the Crown Prince?"
Yu Xihe now knew the identity of the noble woman in front of her, "Yes."
Wei Xi stepped forward, held Yu Xihe's hand and said, "It turned out to be you. Why did you leave the East Palace with such a wronged look on your face? My cousin is really something. How can there be someone who is so kind to me?"
Yu Xihe hurriedly said: "It's not Your Highness. You shouldn't blame Your Highness. Today Your Highness is not in the East Palace. It's the Crown Princess..."
Wei Xi frowned and asked, "Crown Princess?"
Yu Xihe said, "The queen praised me a few days ago. I should have been the one who smiled charmingly, but the Crown Princess was jealous of me. She made things difficult for me, found fault with me, and used her status as the Crown Princess to pressure me..."
Wei Xi snorted, "A villain who has achieved success is just short-sighted. Don't bother with her. You have done a favor to His Highness, so you should be a distinguished guest of the East Palace."
Yu Xihe listened to Wei Xi's words and said angrily, "Ye Wanhe poisoned His Highness, causing His Highness to sleep in the cowshed and suffer humiliation. How can she have the nerve to use her status as the Crown Princess to pressure others?"
Wei Xi frowned and asked, "What did you say?"
Zhao Jing also said, "You said it was the Crown Princess who gave the Crown Prince the medicine?"
Yu Xihe realized that she had let something slip, and said hurriedly, "No...no..."
Wei Xi pulled Yu Xihe into her carriage and said, "My dear sister, I am not an outsider. The Crown Prince is my cousin. This is my husband, the Prince of Chu. He is also the Crown Prince's cousin. Did you just say that the Crown Princess harmed the Crown Prince?"
It was strange that His Highness came back to life, and the excuse that he was seriously ill and unconscious without being discovered by the imperial physician was actually not believed by anyone in the court.
Zhao Jing looked at Yu Xihe and said, "Sister Yu, we are not outsiders. Please speak."
Yu Xihe looked at Wei Xi, who was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Wei, and treated people kindly. She did not look down on her at all and even called her a good sister. She was so gentle that she no longer had any guard and said, "It was Ye Wanhe who gave the Crown Prince a fake death drug."
Zhao Jing thought to himself that it was no wonder that His Highness dismissed Gu Yan from his post when he returned to Chang'an, and did not give any reason.
The fake death drug in the Crown Princess's hand must have been given by Gu Yan. Only my aunt has the fake death drug.
Wei Xi couldn't help but frown and asked, "Does Your Highness know about this?"
Yu Xihe nodded and said, "Your Highness knows about this."
Wei Xi asked, "Since Your Highness knew that it was the Crown Princess who gave him the fake death drug and wanted to harm him, why didn't you punish the Crown Princess?"
Yu Xihe whispered, "I don't know about that. I just feel sorry for His Highness. The Crown Princess is a vain person who doesn't even recognize her own parents. She also drugged His Highness. Now she is still using her status as the Crown Princess to act so high and mighty. She is really too arrogant."
Wei Xi frowned and said, "Don't worry, Ye Wanhe won't be so arrogant for long."
Wei Xi hurriedly got off the carriage and went to Fengyi Palace to look for Queen Wei.
"aunt."
When Queen Wei saw Wei Xi coming, she asked, "What do you want?"
Wei Xi said, "Aunt, I just heard that the reason my cousin came back to life was because Ye Wanhe gave my cousin the Crown Prince a fake death drug? Ye Wanhe committed such a heinous crime, she should be executed with all her clan!"
Queen Wei said slowly: "You are one of her nine clans now."
Wei Xi frowned and said, "Even if you don't want to kill all nine clans, you should kill her. At the very least, you should dethrone her as the Crown Princess. How can Ye Wanhe still be her Crown Princess? And the fake death drug Ye Wanhe used must not have been given by Cousin Yan. It must have been tricked by Yun Xiangye. Yun Xiangye should be blamed and punished!"
Queen Wei said, "I also wanted to abolish her position as Crown Princess, but Yun'er protected her, and I didn't want to be separated from Yun'er, whom I finally got back."
Wei Xi couldn't help but frown, "Did Ye Wanhe give the prince cousin some kind of drug to make him lose his mind? She made such a big mistake, but her cousin didn't even care?"
Queen Wei just sighed deeply.
Wei Xi looked at Queen Wei and said, "Aunt, I think we can't let Ye Wanhe off so easily. She was able to give the crown prince a fake death drug once, so there's no guarantee that she won't do it a second time... a third time... We should help my cousin get rid of Ye Wanhe."
Queen Wei rebuked, "Don't make trouble. Since Yun'er is protecting her, it shows that Ye Wanhe holds a special place in Yun'er's heart and cannot be easily dealt with."
Wei Xi frowned and said, "If we can't punish her, are we going to let Ye Wanhe go unpunished and continue to be so arrogant?"
Queen Wei said, "That may not be the case. I saw a few days ago that Yun'er seemed to treat Miss Yu differently from other girls. Miss Yu is innocent, smart, and charming. If Yun'er could be attracted to her, I think he would no longer protect Ye Wanhe."
Wei Xi said: "No wonder Ye Wanhe made things difficult for Yu Xihe today and made Yu Xihe feel wronged. It must be because Ye Wanhe was afraid that the prince cousin would transfer his affection to Yu Xihe."
