Chapter 229: Clearly Can't Bear to Part with Your Highness
The death of the Crown Princess was sudden, just as sudden as the death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in October last year.
There were many speculations in Chang'an City, but no one dared to say it openly. Many people just spread the rumors privately.
The resurrection of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be related to the Crown Princess. The Crown Prince's sudden death was caused by the Crown Princess who colluded with the Gu family in an attempt to let the little grandson ascend the throne.
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not fall into the trap and was rescued by the daughter of the Yuezhou prefect, and was able to return to Chang'an. This time, the Crown Princess died suddenly, which was closely related to her murder of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
However, no one dared to spread this rumor outside.
Although many officials in the court had heard about this, no one discussed it openly. After all, Prince Ning was still deeply trusted by His Majesty and held great power in the court.
The Crown Princess's funeral was not grand or complicated; she was buried in just three or four days.
On the day of the burial, all the ministers and their wives knelt on the ground in the Eastern Palace.
Zhao Yun saw the coffin lid slowly closing, he closed his eyes tightly, and it seemed that all his tears had dried up.
All the way to the imperial mausoleum, Zhao Yun said nothing.
After burial in the imperial mausoleum.
Zhao Yun stayed with Ye Wanhe in the mausoleum for a long time. Many people came to persuade him to leave, but he was unwilling to leave.
It was not until he fainted due to not eating for several days and his body could no longer bear the exhaustion that he was taken away from the imperial mausoleum by the palace servants and returned to the East Palace.
Imperial Mausoleum, in the middle of the night.
Gu Yan sent someone to transfer the guards guarding the mausoleum away before he and Yun Xiangye entered the mausoleum.
Yun Xiangye lit a candle and tried to push the coffin lid, but it was too heavy and she was unable to open it.
Gu Yan stepped forward and pushed the coffin lid together with Yun Xiangye, and then they opened it.
Gu Yan took out a silver needle and inserted it into several of Ye Wanhe's acupoints.
Ye Wanhe slowly woke up. She opened her eyes, looked at the candlelight in front of her, and frowned slightly.
Yun Xiangye helped Ye Wanhe up and said, "Sister, this is the light porridge I brought. You've been hungry these past few days. Eat something light to fill your stomach."
Yun Xiangye handed a gourd to Ye Wanhe. Ye Wanhe took the gourd and drank the porridge inside. Only then did she regain some strength.
"hiss!"
Ye Wanhe felt the pain in her abdomen and took a breath.
Gu Yan handed a bottle of wound medicine to Ye Wanhe and said, "This is medicine for healing wounds. If you apply it every day, there will be no scars."
Ye Wanhe took it and looked at Gu Yan and said, "Thank you very much."
Yun Xiangye helped Ye Wanhe out of the coffin, looked at her worriedly and asked, "Sister, are you okay?"
Ye Wanhe chuckled and said, "I'm fine."
Yun Xiangye said, "This is not the place to talk. Please follow me to the carriage first."
Yun Xiangye helped Ye Wanhe into the carriage.
Ye Wanhe put on her veil and said, "Xiangye, I want to leave for the pier early this morning to take a boat back to Yongxing City."
Yun Xiangye said, "I'm worried about you going back to Yongxing City alone."
Gu Yan also entered the carriage and said, "Renyuan Pharmacy will have a merchant ship heading to Yongxing City tomorrow, but..."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and asked, "Just what?"
Gu Yan sighed and said, "Sister, His Highness has been heartbroken these past few days. He has lost his appetite and has even grown a lot of white hair. You shouldn't be so cruel."
Yun Xiangye whispered at this moment: "Sister, you really misunderstood the matter between His Highness and Yu Xihe. His Highness said that although he spent a night with Yu Xihe, nothing happened. His Highness was really heartbroken these days. If His Majesty hadn't sent someone to watch him, I'm afraid he would have followed you..."
Ye Wanhe lowered her head in the veil: "I know that after taking the fake death drug, you can also hear the sounds outside."
Ye Wanhe clearly heard Zhao Yun's regret and his agony.
Gu Yan said: "Since you know, why don't you give His Highness another chance? He really loves you. He hasn't eaten in the past few days and barely drank a few sips of water. When he was suffering for the mute slave, he was not so haggard... Can you really bear to see him suffer like this?"
Ye Wanhe whispered, "Master Gu, I don't want him to be so sad, but how could he bear to let me abandon my parents? How could he erase my identity and origin?"
"Since I have become Ye Wanhe again, I will never be Wei Zhenzhu again."
Gu Yan said: "But His Highness has already regretted it, and he is sincere to you."
Ye Wanhe said, "I never doubted his sincerity towards me, but I also gave him many chances, Master Gu, he never cherished me before, otherwise I would not have walked down this road of no return. I have already committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and I can no longer turn back."
Seeing that Gu Yan was trying to persuade her again, Yun Xiangye glanced at Gu Yan and said to Ye Wanhe, "Sister, no matter what choice you make, I just hope you can be happy. If you can be happier by leaving His Highness, then you can leave..."
Ye Wanhe hid in the veil, closed her eyes and let a tear fall.
She didn't feel happy after leaving Zhao Yun, but she felt comfortable and relaxed.
But she was not happy or comfortable with Zhao Yun.
Ye Wanhe said: "The one I am most reluctant to leave behind is Yu'er. During this time when I am in Yongxing City, I will leave Yu'er in your care."
Yun Xiangye said: "Well, sister, don't worry, I will visit Yu'er in the East Palace from time to time."
The carriage arrived at the dock.
Gu Yan brought Ye Wanhe into the merchant ship of Renyuan Pharmacy, and sent the two female secret guards beside Yun Xiangye to protect Ye Wanhe.
Gu Yan said to the captain, "This is my wife's cousin. She is going back to her hometown in Yongxing City. Please protect her well on the way and send her back to the Ye Family Cloth Shop in Yongxing City."
The captain responded, "Yes, Young Master."
Yun Xiangye reluctantly held Ye Wanhe's hand and said, "Sister, come back soon, then you can come back with Shuangbai."
Ye Wanhe chuckled: "I will return to Chang'an as soon as I get back. After all, I can't bear to leave Yu'er for too long."
When the ship weighed anchor, Yun Xiangye had no choice but to get off the boat.
Ye Wanhe called out to Gu Yan and said, "Master Gu..."
Gu Yan paused and looked back at Ye Wanhe, "Sister, do you have any other instructions?"
Ye Wanhe said: "Take good care of His Highness and don't let him do anything stupid..."
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Okay."
The ship was about to weigh anchor. Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan got off the boat and waved to Ye Wanhe.
The big ship gradually sailed away from the river, farther and farther away, until it was completely out of sight. Only then did Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan get on the carriage.
After entering the carriage, Gu Yan took Yun Xiangye into his arms and said, "Sister is obviously reluctant to leave Your Highness."
Yun Xiangye sighed and said, "Yes, but we have come to this point and are at a dead end. Should we go back and compromise and become Wei Zhenzhu?
Besides, the Crown Prince came back from the dead, and the Crown Princess came back from the dead again? Where is the face of the royal family?
Your Majesty and the Queen have never forgiven my sister. What if she is charged with deceiving the emperor?"
"Although my sister is reluctant to leave His Highness, she wants to be herself again. You don't need to feel sorry for His Highness. He has given my sister abortion pills for six years and has humiliated her several times before. He deserves retribution."
Gu Yan sighed softly, "Alas."
Yun Xiangye was very tired, but he still forced himself to go to the Ye family.
After all, you have to do the whole show.
If she didn't go to the Ye family, it would easily arouse suspicion.
As soon as Yun Xiangye entered the Ye family, she heard Ye Zhimiao's voice.
"Dad, Mom, this is ridiculous. You are so sad because of an unfilial daughter who didn't recognize you. Her death is retribution. Who told her to let the slave beat me up so hard that my face was swollen and my ears were ringing? She really lived up to the saying that retribution is unacceptable."
"Miao Miao!" Ye Li looked at Ye Zhimiao angrily.
When Yun Xiangye entered, he saw Ye Zhimiao's smug look and became extremely angry.
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "Why bother getting angry with her?"
Ye Yuan pointed at Ye Zhimiao and said, "Get out! Get out of the Ye family right now!"
Ye Zhimiao said, "Dad, Mom, that unfilial daughter got her retribution and died. I am your only daughter! I am sincere to you. In order to seek justice for you, I went to that unfilial daughter to reason with her and was beaten. Now you want to kick me out of the house?"
Yu Xihe, who was standing by, protected Ye Zhimiao and said, "Uncle Ye, Aunt Ye, I know you must be sad because of the loss of your daughter, but Miaomiao is a filial daughter who only cares about you. How can you drive her out of the house? Isn't she your daughter?"
