Chapter 60: I will respect you in the future
Xie Zhixuan glanced at Gu Yan calmly and said, "I can give you this fake death medicine, but this medicine is of great importance and you should use it with caution."
Gu Yan hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, mother."
Gu Yan hurriedly followed Xie Zhixuan to the main courtyard to get the fake death medicine.
After getting the fake death pill sealed in the porcelain bottle, Gu Yan returned to his room.
As soon as he entered the inner room, Gu Yan saw the peaceful sleeping faces of the mother and daughter, and whispered to wake Yun Xiangye up.
Yun Xiangye opened her eyes and looked at Gu Yan, annoyed: "Isn't it enough that you make me angry? You also come to disturb my sleep?"
Gu Yan handed a small porcelain bottle to Yun Xiangye and said, "This contains the fake death drug."
Yun Xiangye took the porcelain bottle, opened the lid, took out the red cloth stuffed inside, and saw the pill inside. "Can taking such a small pill really be like dying?"
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Yes."
Yun Xiangye put the porcelain bottle aside and said, "It's a pity that my sister didn't agree to fake her death. She didn't want to implicate me and her family. You took the medicine in vain."
Yun Xiangye wanted her sister to fake her death and leave the palace, but her sister was unwilling to cooperate, and she could not force her to fake her death.
Gu Yan said: "Sister He is more considerate of the overall situation than you are."
Yun Xiangye got angry again after hearing what Gu Yan said, "This medicine is not completely free, at least I can use it."
Gu Yan frowned and said, "I don't agree to divorce, and you can't even think about faking your own death and leaving. Most doctors can't see the symptoms of fake death, but my mother can."
Yun Xiangye said, "Bah, I won't take the fake death drug myself. If I gave it to you, I would secretly give it to you when your mother-in-law is not at home, and then I would bury you alive after two days of funeral!"
Gu Yan chuckled, then climbed onto the bed and rested beside Yun Xiangye, saying, "I know you can't bear to kill me, this is just something you said in anger."
Yun Xiangye glared at Gu Yan and said, "Don't you dislike me because I'm a street vendor? Go away, or you'll be tainted by my street vendor aura."
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye in his arms and said, "Didn't I tell you that my mother was also a pharmacist's daughter in the market when she was young? My grandmother's second husband after she left the late queen was a pharmacist. My mother worked as a pharmacist for more than 20 years before she knew she was the princess. Why would I care whether she was a pharmacist or not?"
Gu Yan whispered in Yun Xiangye's ear: "You have been blaming me for hiding my identity from you for three years. I really don't think it's necessary to say all this because my mother was born into a merchant family. She would never look down on you because of your background. As for my father, he rarely even cares about me. His whole mind is either on sharing the worries of His Majesty or on my mother. He never cares about you."
Yun Xiangye said, "Who said your father doesn't care about me? On the third day of junior high school, I met your father in my mother's yard. He looked at me and Nuonuo with displeasure, even anger... He was just not satisfied with me..."
Gu Yan said: "On the third day of junior high school... I understood."
Gu Yan said helplessly, "You went to my mother's yard to pick up Nuonuo that day, right? When I was young, my father would get jealous because my mother took care of me so much. What's more, we handed Nuonuo over to my mother to take care of her on her rare day off."
Yun Xiangye was stunned for a while and said, "Are you saying that my father-in-law was unhappy with me at that time because he felt that Nuonuo took up the time he spent with mother?"
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Well, even though he is second to none and holds great power, he is like a candy man in front of my mother, very clingy. My father was so jealous when I was a child. We handed Nuonuo to my mother, which took up the time he and my mother had alone. How could he not be angry with you and me?"
Yun Xiangye asked, "Are you serious?"
Gu Yan said: "If my father really hated you, he wouldn't have just teased you based on the slaps you gave me."
Yun Xiangye's face immediately turned red, "Did my father-in-law know that I beat you?"
Gu Yan said: "Well, my father only cares about my mother. When Jingyu and I were young, we were always attached to each other. He even disliked Jingyu and me. He didn't think it was childish to be jealous of a child."
Yun Xiangye thought, Gu Yan felt that his father was childish for snatching his mother from him, was it because Gu Yan didn't care about him or love him at all?
If he could care about me as much as Prince Ning cares about the princess, I would be able to understand it.
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye in his arms and said, "My parents really don't dislike you. Don't make yourself angry and don't think too much about it."
"Did I make myself angry today? You are going to argue about who is superior and who is inferior to you and me, how can I not be angry?"
Yun Xiangye said, "If you want to be respected, then you'd better agree to divorce. By then, I will be a small embroidery shop owner, and you will be the high and mighty Prince of Ning. Naturally, I will be respectful to you and kneel when I see you, but if I were still your wife, I would never respect you."
Gu Yan said: "I just said that what His Royal Highness said was correct, and I didn't want you to respect me."
Gu Yan looked down at Yun Xiangye in his arms and said, "If I really had this idea, why would I let you beat and scold me and force me to kneel down again and again? Don't you know who is the most respected person in our family? Did I slap you four times?"
Yun Xiangye said: "I didn't do anything wrong, why did you slap me?"
Gu Yan said: "Yes, it's my fault, but you are obviously the most respected person in our family. Why are you still angry?"
Yun Xiangye snorted, "I absolutely do not agree with your statement that you respect me."
Gu Yan said: "From now on, I will respect you as my superior. Can you calm down now?"
Yun Xiangye said: "If you regard me as your superior, does that mean you have to obey me in everything?"
Gu Yan said: "As long as I can do it, I will obey you in everything."
Yun Xiangye said: "Words are not enough."
Gu Yan lowered his head and kissed Yun Xiangye's lips, "Stamp it with your seal..."
Yun Xiangye hurriedly pushed Gu Yan and said, "Nuonuo is still here...what are you doing?"
Gu Yan chuckled, but stopped making trouble because he was concerned about little Nuonuo. "I didn't expect that Nuonuo could become a princess at the age of two, and even get a fiefdom."
Yun Xiangye said: "It can be seen that His Majesty and mother have a very good relationship."
Gu Yan chuckled and said, "Your Majesty's uncle has an average relationship with my mother, but his relationship with my father is better. They are not blood brothers, but they are more like blood brothers."
Yun Xiangye listened to Gu Yan talking about his family affairs, and gradually fell asleep in his arms.
--
In the Prince of Chu's Palace.
Seeing Zhao Jing in front of him, who was in a worse condition than he had imagined, Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Is it necessary to make yourself look like this for a woman?"
Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Jing, whose lips were pale but eyes were bloodshot, and was very puzzled.
It would be fine if it was for other girls, but Zhao Yun really didn't understand why he did that for Yun Xiangye, a woman from the market who didn't follow the rules.
Zhao Jing coughed a few times and said, "Your Highness, you have never truly loved anyone, you don't know how I feel..."
Zhao Jing vomited a mouthful of blood from his lungs.
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Even if I love someone, I won't torture myself like you. There are thousands of women in this world, so what if one is missing? You are the powerful prince of Chu, so why worry about not being able to find a better daughter than her?"
Zhao Jing said: "No matter how good others are, they are not her. If I had known this, I should have forced her with my status as the Crown Prince of Chu."
The prince said: "Now that things have come to this, you should cheer up. How ridiculous is it to do this for a little girl?"
Zhao Jing said, "But I just can't accept it. Why is it Gu Yan again... Since he was a child, all the good things have been in Gu Yan's hands. As soon as Gu Yan returned to Chang'an, he didn't need to take the imperial examination. Once he entered the court, he became the Imperial Censor, which is something that others can hardly get in their lifetime. He already has so much, why does he have to compete with me for Xiangye?"
Zhao Yun patted Zhao Jing on the shoulder and said, "There are many beautiful women in the world. There are thousands of women better than Yun Xiangye. You should take good care of yourself. I will return to the palace first."
Inside the prince’s sedan chair.
Zhao Yun touched the jade pendant on his bosom, thinking about how Zhao Jing had become half-human, half-ghost because of Yun Xiangye, and his eyes were full of disdain.
It is ridiculous that a royal descendant of the Zhao family would be so decadent for a woman.
