Ye Wanhe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Zhao Yun say this.
Zhao Yun stared at Su Zhan and said, "Get lost!"
Ye Wanhe looked at Su Zhan, signaling with her eyes that Su Zhan should leave quickly.
Su Zhan did not make things difficult for Ye Wanhe. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness. I will take my leave first."
After Su Zhan left, Zhao Yun reached out and grabbed Ye Wanhe's wrist, saying coldly, "I will never take you out of the palace again."
Ye Wanhe said, "Yes, Your Highness."
It will only take about a month.
Zhao Yun looked down at the blood dripping from his handkerchief, frowned, and ordered the guards, "Go find some medicine for the wound."
"Yes." The guard responded.
Zhao Yun frowned and looked at Ye Wanhe's wound, full of anger.
In the distance, two young women were looking at the scene from afar.
"Meng Qi, is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Whose daughter is this woman next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? She looks unfamiliar. Why is she so affectionate?"
Xu Mengqi looked over. For a moment, she couldn't determine the identity of the daughter, but she saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very intimate with her.

Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan took Nuonuo to the backyard of the temple to look at the peach blossoms in full bloom.
Seeing the Crown Prince's guards rushing past, Gu Yan hurriedly asked, "Shuangliu, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the Crown Prince?"
Shuangliu said: "Aunt Ye's wrist was injured, I'm going to find the medicine to take back."
"What?" Yun Xiangye's heart tightened.
Gu Yan picked up Nuonuo and said to Yun Xiangye, "Don't be too nervous. Let's go over and see how badly Aunt Ye is hurt."
Yun Xiangye hurriedly followed Gu Yanqian to the mountain spring.
Yun Xiangye saw that the wound on Ye Wanhe's wrist was obviously a knife wound, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Yun. However, due to the imperial power, Yun Xiangye had to endure many words.
"elder sister……"
Ye Wanhe smiled at Yun Xiangye and said, "I'm fine. I was just accidentally scratched. Don't worry too much."
Zhao Yun took the golden wound medicine from the guard beside him and was about to apply it to Ye Wanhe.
Ye Wanhe hurriedly said to Zhao Yun, "Your Highness, I can apply the medicine myself. I dare not trouble you."
Zhao Yun didn't listen to Ye Wanhe and applied the medicine to Ye Wanhe.
Yun Xiangye saw the knife stained with blood and couldn't help but frown. This didn't look like an accidental cut. The wound was very deep.
In the distance, Sheng Rujiao whispered to Xu Mengqi, "Mengqi, who exactly is that woman? I think she's quite familiar with the Yun family... And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally applied the medicine to that woman. Will this daughter be designated as the Crown Princess the day after tomorrow?"
Xu Mengqi looked at Sheng Rujiao with a frown on her face. "Absolutely not! A rich girl whom neither you nor I have ever met, it's obvious that her family background isn't that high. The position of Crown Princess will never be hers."
Sheng Rujiao whispered, "Could it be a girl from some aristocratic family out there?"
Xu Mengqi said, "Of course not. Young ladies from aristocratic families value their reputation the most. How could they be so intimate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when they were unknown? How could someone so close to a merchant girl like Yun be of good family background? Let's go, it's more important to go and worship Buddha."
Sheng Rujiao said, "It's rumored that the Crown Princess will be chosen between you and Lin Bolan. If you really become the Crown Princess, Gu Yan will probably regret rejecting you earlier."
Xu Mengqi smiled softly and said, "In the past, I only regretted that I was born two years late. As a result, I was not yet fifteen years old and could not participate in the selection of the Crown Prince's concubine. Choosing Gu Yan was a compromise. Fortunately, God still had mercy on me and allowed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to choose another Crown Princess..."
Xu Mengqi was born in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Her father was the emperor's tutor and held the position of Taifu, a high position of power. Their Xu family was a rare family that had military power.
As noble as Xu Mengqi was, she had dreamed of marrying the most noble man in the world since she was a child.
At the beginning, she chose His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but after all, she was nearly five years younger than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was eighteen years old and chose a Crown Princess, she was only thirteen years old.
So when she later chose a husband, she could only set her sights on Gu Yan. Although other princes of the Zhao family, such as Zhao Jing, also had noble status, the King of Chu had no real power in the court and was just an idle prince.
Prince Zhao Rui of Xiang County is of even nobler origin. His father is your Majesty's half-brother, and his mother is your Majesty's half-sister. His bloodline is extremely close to your Majesty's.
Although Zhao Jing and Zhao Rui grew up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is only one prince in the palace now. Naturally, Zhao Jing and Zhao Rui, who have the same surname as Zhao, have no access to any power in the court.
Counting this up, in the entire Chang'an City, apart from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Gu Yan's bloodline is the most noble and powerful.
Three or four years ago, she left Yan Qian and proposed to Gu Yan. At that time, there were four other noble ladies proposing marriage. The Princess's Mansion did not want to lose face to the four daughters, so her proposal was not accepted.
Xu Mengqi is now glad that Gu Yan did not agree to her proposal and chose such a lowly merchant girl from a small family.
Xu Mengqi was not afraid that the position of Crown Princess would fall to Lin Bolan. In terms of family background, she was much more noble than Lin Bolan.

Next to the mountain spring.
After Zhao Yun applied the medicine to Ye Wanhe, he looked at Gu Yan and asked, "How old is Yun Xiangye's cousin this year?"
Gu Yan said: "I'm twenty-five, almost twenty-six."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly, wondering why Zhao Yun asked about his cousin?
Zhao Yun said, "He's almost twenty-six. It's inappropriate for him to be so old and still not have a child. I will grant him a marriage today..."
Zhao Yun didn't have any girl in mind for the time being. The ones mentioned most in front of him were Lin Bolan and Xu Mengqi.
Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said, "Just give him Xu Mengqi, the daughter of the Zhenbei Marquisate, in marriage. It would be a great blessing for him to have such a noble lady marry him."
Ye Wanhe lowered her head and dared not speak.
Yun Xiangye was utterly shocked upon hearing this. "Your Highness, this is absolutely unacceptable. Miss Xu is from the Zhenbei Marquisate and is a noble lady from Chang'an. My cousin is just a merchant and seven years older than Miss Xu. He is simply too high a standard to marry."
Zhao Yun said: "You are so high up that you can even get close to Gu Yan..."
Seeing Yun Xiangye's expression change, Gu Yan looked at Zhao Yun with pleading eyes, "Your Highness."
Zhao Yun said, "This marriage is settled, but on March 3rd, I will ask my father to issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage."
Gu Yan said, "Your Highness, if you want to issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage, shouldn't you discuss it with the Zhenbei Marquisate? After all, Xu Mengqi is the eldest daughter of the Zhenbei Marquisate, the apple of Uncle Xu's eye. If you arrange her marriage so hastily, I'm afraid it will disappoint the Zhenbei Marquisate."
Zhao Yun said, "There's no need to discuss this. I've made up my mind. Wanhe, what do you think?"
Ye Wanhe whispered, "The matchmaker your Highness is promoting must be an excellent match."
