Zhao Yun said, "I've already told you that the Crown Princess doesn't need to be of noble birth, but she can't be a palace maid."
Ye Wanhe couldn't help but feel sarcastic in her heart. She looked into Zhao Yun's eyes and said, "Your Highness, I don't want to be someone else's daughter."
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Didn't you promise me that you would be good and obedient?"
Ye Wanhe said, "Your Highness's orders are such that I dare not disobey you, but filial piety is paramount in the Great Sheng Dynasty, and I cannot be unfilial."
Zhao Yun said threateningly, "Aren't you afraid that I will blame Yun Xiangye for deceiving me?"
Ye Wanhe whispered, "It was indeed Xiangye's fault for deceiving you, but it wasn't a serious offense. She has the protection of the eldest princess."
Ye Wanhe raised her eyes to look at Zhao Yun and said, "Your Highness, I simply do not want to be your Crown Princess in any other capacity. I want to be your Crown Princess in the proper and dignified capacity of Ye Wanhe."
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "How is this possible? I am His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If I marry a palace maid from the market as my Crown Princess, I will inevitably be laughed at by the people of the world."
Ye Wanhe asked, "After changing my identity, can I change my origin as a slave or palace maid?"
Zhao Yun approached Ye Wanhe and asked, "When did you learn to contradict me?"
Ye Wanhe said, "I dare not contradict Your Highness, but if Your Highness wishes to recognize someone else as his parents, I will have no choice but to disobey your order."
Zhao Yun was extremely angry. "Wanhe, I'm willing to bear the blame of my father, the emperor, and my mother for you, and marry you as the Crown Princess. And you're not willing to compromise for me? You should also think more about the child in your womb. If you weren't a daughter of the Wei family, I wouldn't be able to convince my father, the emperor, and my mother to grant you the title of Crown Princess."
Ye Wanhe stood up, walked to Zhao Yun, knelt down and said, "Then I beg Your Highness to let me leave the palace."
Zhao Yun said angrily, "Letting you leave the palace is absolutely impossible."
Ye Wanhe kowtowed and said, "That servant is absolutely unwilling to be the daughter of the Wei family."
Zhao Yun was extremely angry. He violently pulled Ye Wanhe to her feet and said, "If you don't think about Yun Xiangye, you should at least think about your parents and your brothers and sisters. You acknowledged the Duke of Wei as your father, so there are still tangible benefits that can be given to your parents, brothers and sisters of the Ye family."
Ye Wanhe said in a deep voice: "This servant just doesn't want to be the daughter of another family."
Zhao Yun said, "Wanhe, you know my personality. You've been by my side for ten years, you wouldn't be ignorant of this. Anyone who disobeys me..."
Ye Wanhe looked into Zhao Yun's eyes and said in a gentle and calm tone, "Your Highness, are you going to execute me? It's up to you. I didn't want to continue living in this world. If Ye Wanhe no longer exists in this world, then why would I still exist as a person?"
Zhao Yun listened to Ye Wanhe's words and said angrily, "You're not afraid of death! What about your parents?"
Ye Wanhe looked at Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun asked, "Your parents are about to arrive in Chang'an. Have you ever thought about the pain they will feel in seeing their children die?"
Ye Wanhe whispered, "That's better than nothing. They watched their daughter get married, but they couldn't recognize them as their parents, and couldn't say goodbye to them."
Zhao Yun was extremely angry when he heard this, and left the bedroom with a flick of his sleeves.
Only Ye Wanhe remained in the bedroom. She held the fake death drug in her hand and took a deep breath.
She is indeed not afraid of "death" now. If she is not afraid of "death", why should she be afraid of disobeying Zhao Yun?
Just now during the day, she was so ill that she was frightened by Zhao Yun's threat to Yun Xiangye. After all, Xiangye is now the daughter-in-law of Zhao Yun's aunt. Zhao Yun will certainly not make things difficult for Xiangye because of such a trivial matter.
Without the threat, Ye Wanhe naturally had nothing to fear. The worst-case scenario was that she would take the drug to fake her death and leave. The inner chambers of the imperial palace were not a place she would linger in...
--
In Qingfeng Garden.
It was already noon when Yun Xiangye woke up. Nuonuo had woken up early and was playing around obediently.
The maids came in one after another and helped Yun Xiangye wash and dress.
After dressing up, Yun Xiangye went to the Wuse Embroidery Workshop to check the business over the past two days. Now the business of the embroidery workshop is pretty good. When she leaves Chang'an in the future, she can safely hand over the embroidery workshop to Run'er.
When Yun Xiangye had free time, she drew a few more pictures of clothes and then went to embroider with the embroiderers.
Several embroiderers gathered around Yun Xiangye and asked, "Master, has the Crown Princess been chosen?"
"Based on the odds right now, the chances of Miss Lin and Miss Xu winning are roughly equal."
“I don’t know who will win.”
Yun Xiangye said calmly, "The chosen Crown Princess is not among the popular candidates in the casino."
Yun Xiangye didn't say anything extra to the embroiderer. After embroidering the flowers for a while, she carried Nuonuo and went back to the princess's mansion.
As soon as he walked out of the embroidery workshop, Yun Xiangye saw Zhao Jing from afar. In front of him were two guards who looked familiar to Yun Xiangye, blocking his way.
Yun Xiangye finally understood why, after Zhao Jing recovered from his illness, he had only encountered him during the Qingming Festival ancestor worship. It turned out that Gu Yan also had guards around him...
This is a problem. Gu Yan and the prince have placed secret guards around her. It may not be easy for her to leave Chang'an.
Yun Xiangye walked up to Zhao Jing holding Nuonuo and said, "Cousin Zhao Jing."
The two Gu family guards who were blocking Zhao Jing couldn't help but feel a headache.
Zhao Jing said to Yun Xiangye, "How have you been these days?"
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "It's pretty good."
Zhao Jing said, "It's not easy for you to do business in Chang'an City. If there's anything you need my help with, just let me know."
"Thank you, cousin." Yun Xiangye bowed with Nuonuo.
