Chapter 87: I won't let her leave the East Palace
Yun Xiangye and Gu Jingyu went to the Eastern Palace first, and Gu Jingyu could enter the Eastern Palace at will without being informed.
The two of them entered the East Palace and happened to see the eunuch Li Quan who was beside the prince going to the bedroom with an imperial physician.
Gu Jingyu looked at Li Quan, chuckled and said, "Eunuch Li, I'm here to find Aunt Ye."
Li Quan looked at Gu Jingyu and chuckled, "Aunt Ye is ill, and His Highness asked me to take the imperial physician to diagnose her pulse."
Yun Xiangye looked at the imperial physician beside Li Quan and broke into a cold sweat. She hurriedly said, "Jingyu's medical skills are good. Let Jingyu check Aunt Ye's pulse."
Gu Jingyu also hurriedly said: "Yes, let me go and check Aunt Ye's pulse."
Li Quan chuckled and said, "That's fine, thank you, Princess."
Yun Xiangye and Gu Jingyu followed Li Quan into the East Palace bedroom.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard Zhao Yun's voice, "Why are you so flustered?"
"Slave, slave..."
"Prince cousin."
When Gu Jingyu entered and saw Ye Wanhe lying on a nanmu bed carved with a four-clawed dragon, she was stunned for a moment. She turned around and glanced at Yun Xiangye.
Yun Xiangye bowed to the prince and said, "Your Highness."
Zhao Yun said coldly: "Stand up."
Gu Jingyu swallowed her saliva and said in surprise, "Cousin, I heard from Li Quan that Aunt Ye is sick. Let me take her pulse."
Zhao Yun looked at Ye Wanhe, who had an unhappy expression on her face, lying on the bed, and nodded slightly.
Gu Jingyu walked to Ye Wanhe's side, put her finger on her pulse, and saw the pleading in Ye Wanhe's eyes.
Gu Jingyu pressed for a while and said, "Aunt Ye doesn't have any serious illness. She's just tired these past few days. She needs to lie down and rest. There's nothing serious."
"It's nothing serious, why does she look so bad?" Zhao Yun asked.
Gu Jingyu smiled softly, "It's just a lack of blood and qi, it's nothing serious, I'll prescribe some medicine for her to rest, cousin, don't you still believe in my medical skills?"
Zhao Yun trusted Gu Jingyu's medical skills. Hearing that there was nothing serious, he was no longer worried.
"Why did you come to the palace today?" Zhao Yun looked at Gu Jingyu and asked.
Gu Jingyu said, "I checked Aunt Ye's pulse yesterday, but didn't prescribe any medicine for her. I came to the palace today to prescribe medicine for her."
A young eunuch walked up to Zhao Yun outside the door and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty is calling for you."
Zhao Yun immediately left the East Palace and went to Taiji Palace.
After Zhao Yun left, Gu Jingyu looked at Ye Wanhe's belly and lowered her voice and said, "My goodness, your child is actually my cousin's! Then there is no need to worry about violating palace rules. I should have thought of this a long time ago. Which guard in the East Palace has such courage?"
Yun Xiangye stepped forward and said, "Jingyu, can you please not tell His Highness about this?"
Gu Jingyu said, "Why not tell me? My cousin is already this old and still childless. Everyone in the court is worried. Having a child is a great blessing."
Yun Xiangye said: "Your Highness will not allow this child to be born."
Gu Jingyu asked: "Why?"
Yun Xiangye didn't say much. Ye Wanhe got up from the bed, knelt down in front of Gu Jingyu and said, "Please, Princess, keep the fact that I'm pregnant a secret from you."
Gu Jingyu hurriedly helped Ye Wanhe up and said, "Hurry up, I won't tell my cousin."
Ye Wanhe walked to the side and took out a package of herbs wrapped in oil paper from a wooden box: "Princess, please help me take a look at this medicine."
Gu Jingyu took the medicine from Ye Wanhe's hand, looked through it and said, "This is the uterus-protecting soup used by women for health preservation. It not only protects the uterus but also has some effect on the fetus. No wonder you were able to protect the fetus even though you had a miscarriage and bleeding. I think this medicine is also very effective."
Ye Wanhe frowned slightly and bit her lip.
Yun Xiangye looked at Ye Wanhe and asked, "Why did His Royal Highness change your contraceptive pills?"
Ye Wanhe lowered her head, unable to understand why Zhao Yun had changed her contraceptive pills and it caused so much trouble now.
Ye Wanhe looked at Yun Xiangye and said in a low voice, "Xiangye, did you bring the fake death drug you mentioned last time?"
Gu Jingyu opened her eyes wide and asked, "You want to fake your death and leave the palace?"
Ye Wanhe placed her hand on her belly and said, "This is the only way to leave the palace now. I have to protect my child..."
Yun Xiangye handed the purse on her waist to Ye Wanhe, "This contains the fake death drug. After taking it, you will be like a real dead person, with no pulse and no breath. After three days, you will wake up after taking the antidote and acupuncture. But if you want to take this fake death drug, you'd better find a way to pass the message to Gu Yan."
Ye Wanhe clenched the purse in her hand and said, "The sixth day of April, when His Highness gets married, is a good day to take the fake death drug. If nothing unexpected happens, I will choose those days to take the fake death drug. I think... after I die, he should tell you."
Yun Xiangye lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness has placed Dark Dragon Guards beside me, so it will be difficult for me to pick you up. Fortunately, my uncle and aunt will be able to arrive in Chang'an by then, and they will pick you up."
Ye Wanhe looked towards the south. Having been away from home for more than ten years, she could hardly remember what her parents looked like.
I don’t know if my parents’ appearance has changed in the past ten years.
Finally, I can leave the palace.
Gu Jingyu whispered, "I can help too. I know acupuncture. The antidote for taking the suspended animation drug requires a unique acupuncture method. My brother was impatient to learn acupuncture when he was young, so he is not as good as me at acupuncture. I will help you with acupuncture when the time comes."
Ye Wanhe hurriedly said: "This is a crime of deceiving the emperor, so please don't implicate the princess."
Gu Jingyu smiled faintly, "Your Majesty is my uncle. He will not hold it against me for deceiving the emperor. Don't worry. But you, do you really want to leave with the child? After all, the child is of royal blood. It's okay if it's a girl, but if it's a boy..."
Ye Wanhe just whispered: "He is my own child, not of royal blood. I will not let anyone know his origins except you. I just want to protect my own child."

In the Tai Chi Palace.
When Zhao Yun entered the hall, he saw His Majesty sitting in front of the desk, looking at him with a gloomy face.
Gu Ling on the side bowed to him and said, "Your Highness."
Zhao Yun hurriedly bowed and said, "Father, uncle."
The emperor frowned and looked at Zhao Yun and said, "You didn't attend the morning court today, sent soldiers to search the East Palace, and even called in the imperial physician, all just for a palace maid?"
Zhao Yun whispered, "I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again."
His Majesty frowned and said, "Your wedding is only two months away. As the crown prince of Dasheng, you'd better understand your status. Doing this for a little palace maid is unworthy of your status as the crown prince."
Zhao Yun said, "I understand, my child."
His Majesty asked, "I heard that this palace maid is Madam Yan'er's cousin?"
Zhao Yun said: "Yes."
His Majesty said: "In this case, why not give Madam Yan'er this favor and let this maid leave the palace."
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Father, I am used to her care. If I change to another personal maid, she may not be able to take care of me as carefully and attentively as she does."
His Majesty sneered, "There are hundreds of maids in the palace, and she is the only one who can serve? She will be allowed to leave the palace in March along with the maids who have reached the age of retirement."
"Father." Zhao Yun looked at His Majesty, "I will not let her leave the East Palace."
