When Yun Xiangye heard what the prince said, she couldn't help but feel angry, but because of her status, she could only put Nuonuo down and kneel down humbly.
The prince looked at Ye Wanhe and said, "How should I be punished for deceiving me?"
Ye Wanhe was about to kneel down beside Yun Xiangye, but just as she bent her knees, Zhao Yun held her hand. Zhao Yun lowered his eyes to look at Ye Wanhe and said only four words to her: "Be good and listen."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanhe had no choice but to close her eyes and obey Zhao Yun's orders. "Yes, Your Highness, can you please let Xiangye go?"
Zhao Yun said to Yun Xiangye, "Let's go."
Yun Xiangye hurriedly carried Nuonuo and left the East Palace. Outside the gate of the East Palace, she saw Gu Yan waiting for her.
Gu Yan took the tearful Nuonuo from Yun Xiangye's hands and asked, "Why are you crying?"
Yun Xiangye glanced at Gu Yan, said nothing more, and got on the carriage angrily.
Gu Yan followed him onto the carriageway. "Why are you so angry? Now you don't have to worry about your sister's pregnancy being exposed, and you don't have to fake your death to deceive the emperor. Once your sister becomes the Crown Princess, you will be her cousin. How can you be angry about such a great thing?"
Yun Xiangye was extremely angry: "How can this be considered a good thing?"
Gu Yan said, "How can it not be a good thing? This is the position of Crown Princess. I never thought that the Crown Prince would give Aunt Ye the position of Crown Princess. You must understand that it means she will be the most honorable queen mother in the future. If your sister He is pregnant with a boy, he will become the most honorable grandson of the emperor. Isn't this a good thing? You must know that it is truly a position second only to the emperor and above everyone else."
Yun Xiangye said, "If Sister He wants to be the Crown Princess, she will no longer be my cousin. She can only marry into the Eastern Palace as a daughter of the Wei family. She can no longer even be Ye Wanhe. Is this what you call a good thing?"
Gu Yan said, "This is just a change of origin. The Crown Princess can't tell others that she was a slave who was born a palace maid. After all, the Crown Princess is still your cousin."
Yun Xiangye frowned and said, "Gu Yan, in your eyes, is it true that someone would abandon even their own parents just for fame and fortune?"
Gu Yan said, "It's not that I'm giving her up. Although Sister He will make the Wei family's daughter the Crown Princess, her biological parents are still her uncle and aunt. When the time comes, my cousins will have a bright future with Sister He's help."
Yun Xiangye took a deep breath. Talking about this to Gu Yan was like talking to a cow.
Seeing Yun Xiangye's anger, Gu Yan tried to persuade her, "Xiangye, do you know what the position of Crown Princess and the position of the Emperor's eldest grandson mean?"
Yun Xiangye said, "I don't need to know all this. I only know that my sister was unwilling to give up her identity as Ye Wanhe, but His Highness wanted to punish me for deceiving the emperor by deceiving his sister about her pregnancy. This is why he forced my sister to agree to become the Crown Princess as the daughter of the Wei family."
Gu Yan said, "Well, my sister can become the Crown Princess, and the baby in her belly can be kept alive. This is a matter of great joy for everyone."
Gu Yan was relieved that Yun Xiangye would not follow Ye Wanhe back to Jiangnan after Ye Wanhe faked her death.
Yun Xiangye asked, "Everyone is happy? My uncle and aunt traveled thousands of miles from Jiangnan to Chang'an just to see my daughter. Now that my daughter is getting married, they are no longer her parents. Do you really think this is a happy ending?"
Gu Yan said, "For the sake of my cousin's future, my uncle and aunt will definitely be willing to let their daughter recognize my cousin from the Wei family as her father."
Yun Xiangye thought that her uncle and aunt would certainly support Sister He in recognizing other people as her parents in order to become the Crown Princess, but how could this be unfair to her uncle and aunt?
Yun Xiangye's parents passed away early, and she has been cared for by her uncle and aunt for the past eight years. It can be said that her uncle and aunt are the closest elders to her in the world.
They came all the way to Chang'an, but had to endure such humiliation and watch their daughter get married. As parents, they probably couldn't even drink a sip of the wedding wine. How painful must they be?
Yun Xiangye was too lazy to say anything more to Gu Yan. After all, Gu Yan and Zhao Yun were cousins, birds of a feather. He was born as the high and mighty Prince of Ning, so how could he know the grievances in the hearts of ordinary people like them.
Just as Gu Yan said before, as the Prince of Ning, he admitted his mistakes in front of him and allowed himself to be beaten and scolded, which was already humble, while he was full of charity from a high-handed person.
Now, in Gu Yan's heart, he probably feels that his sister has received a great blessing by becoming the Crown Princess.
Why bother about whether she enters the palace as the daughter of the Ye family or the daughter of the Wei family?
Returned to Qingfeng Garden.
Yun Xiangye took Nuonuo back to the room to rest. So many things had happened throughout the day, and Yun Xiangye was very tired. She didn't want to continue talking nonsense with Gu Yan.
Now there is no need for Gu Yan to give her any more imperial decrees, and it is time for her to leave Chang'an.
Yun Xiangye thought that it would not be too late to return to Yongxing City after her sister and the prince got married.
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye's back and couldn't help feeling depressed. He really didn't know what Yun Xiangye was upset about at the moment.
Moreover, this was clearly the Crown Prince's business, but Yun Xiangye actually used the Crown Prince to get angry with him. He didn't want to coax Yun Xiangye anymore.
"Sir, Her Royal Highness the Princess and Prince Ning have come to the Qingfeng Garden study and want to see you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan said to Yun Xiangye who was lying on her side, "My parents are probably looking for me because I lied to Sister He about her pregnancy. I'll go see them first. Don't be too angry. Sister He finally has a legitimate status, and the child in her belly will be the master of Dasheng in the future..."
Gu Yan was still afraid that Yun Xiangye was holding her breath, so he coaxed her with a few words and went to the study.
