Chapter 263: Borrowing Life
Yun Xiangye held Ye Wanhe's hand and said, "With so many imperial doctors, how come they can't even cure this headache?"
Ye Wanhe said: "It's no wonder the imperial physician is so kind. Maybe this is my fate."
Yun Xiangye said: "Please stop saying that. You will definitely live a long life."
Ye Wanhe said: "I don't ask for a long life in this life, I just want to see my Yu'er grow up."
Ye Wanhe was afraid that she would not be able to protect Yu'er after she left.
Yun Xiangye sighed, "You will definitely recover."
Yun Xiangye saw Gu Jingyu coming in from outside, looked at her and said, "Jingyu, is my sister's headache really incurable?"
Gu Jingyu said: "My cousin's headache should be caused by not taking good care of herself after giving birth, and she was too worried before. Now she can only take care of herself. The most important thing is to have a good attitude, don't worry too much, and think about happy things."
Yun Xiangye looked at Ye Wanhe and said, "Sister, Jingyu is right. Don't worry too much. Your headache will heal if you take good care of yourself."
When Yun Xiangye and Gu Jingyu returned to the Princess's Residence from the East Palace, Yun Xiangye asked, "Is Sister really okay? Why does she look so unwell?"
Gu Jingyu said: "Headaches are definitely uncomfortable and nauseating. This headache is really hard to cure. Her illness was actually caused by excessive worry in the past. Although she is not worried now, her body has been damaged before."
When Yun Xiangye heard this, she couldn't help but hate Zhao Yun again.
It was really a bargain for him that Zhao Yun was half dead before.
But Yun Xiangye didn't dare to say this out loud.
Inside the East Palace.
Zhao Yun entered the bedroom. He walked to Ye Wanhe's side, held her hand and said, "Where do you want to go? Since the hot summer is over, how about I take you to climb a mountain?"
Ye Wanhe said: "There's nowhere I want to go."
Zhao Yun said: "I'll take you to Tianyuan Temple."
Ye Wanhe looked at Zhao Yun, smiled faintly and said, "Okay."
Ye Wanhe said, "Oh, by the way, Your Highness, there are rumors out there that I won't live long. Can you go find out who is cursing me behind my back?"
Zhao Yun replied, "I have asked Shi An to investigate. Once we find out who it is, we will not let him off easily."
Ye Wanhe said in Zhao Yun's arms: "I haven't even reached the point where I can't get out of bed yet, but some people are already hoping that I'll die soon. There are so many people who covet the position of Crown Princess."
Zhao Yun touched Ye Wanhe's head and said, "The position of Crown Princess will only belong to you, no one else. You know that if you leave, I won't live alone."
Ye Wanhe said: "No, after I leave, you have to stay and take care of Yu'er until he grows up."
Zhao Yun said: "Don't say such discouraging words, you are just worried too much."
Ye Wanhe said, "Do you know why I had to fake my death and leave the palace? Because my aunt and my great-aunt both died in their early thirties, and I don't have many years left. I've been exhausted in the past few years in the palace... I'm not sure how long I can live, so I would rather fake my death and go back home and be Ye Wanhe again."
Zhao Yun said: "I'm sorry."
Ye Wanhe said: "I don't think the rule of the Ye family's daughters having a short life will be broken with me, but I really can't bear to leave Yu'er. I want to live for ten more years, watch my Yu'er grow up, watch my Yu'er get a wife whom he truly loves..."
Zhao Yun said: "Yes, you can see it."
The next morning.
Zhao Yun then took Ye Wanhe to Tianyuan Temple.
Tianyuan Temple is the largest Taoist temple in Chang'an City and is very popular.
Early in the morning, many Taoists were practicing in Tianyuan Temple, and there were also sounds of birds singing in the mountain stream.
Taoist Yuanxu, the head of Tianyuan Temple, greeted them at the door, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Princess."
Zhao Yun said slowly: "The Crown Princess has had a headache for many days. Today I brought her to the temple to ask for the protection of all the Heavenly Lords."
Taoist Yuanxu said: "The incense is ready, please come in."
Ye Wanhe followed Zhao Yun into the hall and burned incense to the Three Pure Ones.
Ye Wanhe felt that her headache was so severe that she thought about going to the side room to rest.
Zhao Yun said, "You go first. I have something to discuss with Taoist Yuanxu."
Ye Wanhe nodded and was about to leave. When she was about to reach the side room, she remembered that the sachet of medicine for relieving headache was with Zhao Yun. Ye Wanhe originally wanted to send a palace maid to get it, but she was afraid that Zhao Yun was talking about something with Taoist Yuanxu, so the palace maid did not dare to go.
Ye Wanhe turned around and went to find Zhao Yun.
After Zhao Yun sat down in the guest hall, he looked at Taoist Yuanxu who was standing there and said, "Emperor Taizu once left a secret. The Taoists in your Tianyuan Temple only have a secret method that can borrow life to prolong life..."
Taoist Yuanxu's expression changed, and he knelt down hurriedly and said, "Your Highness, you are in your prime, and you don't need to use this method to extend your life. After all, it will damage the blessings of your descendants. When Emperor Taizu learned that it would damage the blessings of his descendants, he no longer insisted on prolonging his life. Moreover, this secret method requires the person who borrows his life to be willing to give up his life. Who in this world would really be willing to give his life to others?"
Outside the guest hall, Ye Wanhe did not see any palace servants serving her, so she realized that Zhao Yun was discussing important matters, so she dismissed the palace maids on both sides.
When Ye Wanhe was about to knock on the door, she heard Taoist Yuanxu's words, and her hand stopped in mid-air.
Zhao Yun wants to borrow his life to prolong his life?
Zhao Yun said, "As long as I have this secret method, it will be good. The daughters of the Crown Princess' family all die at the age of thirty or so. I am willing to give her half of my remaining life span."
Taoist Yuanxu looked at Zhao Yun in disbelief and said, "Your Highness... this... half of your remaining life..."
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "If I still have fifty years left in my life, I will give her twenty-five years. If I have forty years, I will give her twenty years. I don't believe that the rule that the daughters of the Ye family die at the age of thirty cannot be broken!"
Taoist Yuanxu said: "Your Highness, His Majesty is in good health. If you give up your life for so many years, you may not be able to become an emperor."
Zhao Yun said: "It is naturally a good thing for my father to live longer. As long as she can see Yu'er grow up as she wishes, and I can be with her for many years, it will be better. Without her, my longevity will really be a lonely life."
Zhao Yun didn't want to have a happy ending with Ye Wanhe, but end up being separated by death.
Zhao Yun looked at the kneeling Taoist Yuanxu and asked, "How do I borrow your life?"
Taoist Yuanxu whispered: "Your Highness, this method of borrowing life requires the willingness of the person who is willing to lend his life..."
Zhao Yun said, "Even if I am willing, you can try to give the Crown Princess twenty-five years of my remaining life."
Taoist Yuanxu said: "Your Highness, this concerns your future life, there is no room for regret."
Zhao Yun said slowly: "I will never regret it, cast the spell."
Ye Wanhe, who was outside the door, heard what Zhao Yun said inside and hurriedly opened the door and said, "No!"
Ye Wanhe looked at Zhao Yun with tears in her eyes and said, "No, Your Highness!"
When Zhao Yun saw Ye Wanhe enter, he stood up and supported her, saying, "Aren't you worried that the daughter of the Ye family won't live long? I'll give you my life span, so you can rest assured and see Yu'er grow up."
Ye Wanhe threw herself into Zhao Yun's arms and shed tears, "No, I don't need you to give me life."
Taoist Yuanxu, who was kneeling on the ground, saw the two people hugging each other in front of him and whispered, "Your Highness, in fact, the method of borrowing life is just a trick my master used to deceive Emperor Taizu. When Emperor Taizu was old, he was obsessed with refining elixirs to prolong his life. In fact, there is no method of borrowing life in the world..."
Zhao Yun frowned and looked at Taoist Yuanxu who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Really not."
Taoist Yuanxu shook his head and said, "There is no such secret method. It's just that this method of borrowing lives can ensure that Tianyuan Temple has always been the number one Taoist temple in Chang'an. The previous temple masters did not dare to tell the truth about the method of borrowing lives."
Zhao Yun couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Ye Wanhe breathed a sigh of relief.
