Ye Wanhe lowered her eyes. What is reunion?
After the boat docked, Yun Xiangye said goodbye to Ye Wanhe and went ashore.
After all, Ye Wanhe was pregnant, and Zhao Yun didn't dare let Ye Wanhe stay outside the palace for a long time, so he took her to walk around the small vendors for a while.
Zhao Yun saw Ye Wanhe buy a portion of sesame candy and said, "I've never seen this kind of candy before."
Ye Wanhe said, "This is sesame crispy candy, a snack from Jiangnan. I only ate it when I was a child. I never thought I would see it on the street today."
Zhao Yun said, "I will have the palace chef prepare it for you. You are pregnant now, so it is better not to eat food from outside. Throw this away."
Ye Wanhe chuckled helplessly and said, "Every grain of rice is hard-earned. It would be a shame to throw it away. I'll give it to the young underground guard in the underground palace later."
Zhao Yun said, "Alright."
After returning to Tao Gong's villa, Zhao Yun knocked on the door of the secret passage, and Ah Hong came to open the door for them.
Ye Wanhe discovered that the door to the secret passage seemed to be openable only from the inside, not from the outside. She was surprised and asked, "Your Highness, if they are deaf and mute, how could they hear you knocking on the door?"
Zhao Yun said, "It's not that they hear it. It's that the strings inside will be plucked when you knock on them, and the bamboo strips inside will be clicked when you knock on them. They will open the door only when they see it, not when they hear the knock."
Ye Wanhe smiled and said, "I see."
Ye Wanhe chuckled again and handed the cake in her hand to Ah Hong, "This cake is for you."
Ah Hong read Ye Wanhe's lip language clearly and knelt down and kowtowed to her.
Ye Wanhe smiled faintly, "No need to be so polite, get up."
Ah Hong made hand gestures, and Zhao Yun interpreted them to Ye Wanhe: "Ah Hong said thank you, you treat him as well as his own sister."
Ye Wanhe asked, "What about Ah Hong's sister?"
Ah Hong was in a low mood.
Zhao Yun took Ye Wanhe's hand and led her out of the tunnel and back to the palace. He then told her, "Ah Hong's sister died when she was thirteen. Their parents died early. Ah Hong was born deaf and dumb and was bullied by the villagers. When Ah Hong was collecting herbs in the mountains, she was spotted by a local ruffian. She refused to obey and jumped off a cliff. Her body has never been found."
Ye Wanhe said: "Amitabha, it's for the poor brother and sister."
Zhao Yun continued, "Ah Hong avenged his sister by killing that local thug and was sentenced to death. His sister often sold the herbs she collected to Renyuan Pharmacy. The owner of the pharmacy felt sorry for the siblings and asked my aunt for help. As the palace needed a deaf-mute eunuch, they sent him to the palace. Even if he weren't in the underworld, he would have been punished by the law."
"But he killed someone who deserved to die."
Zhao Yun said, "Wanhe, if this world didn't need the laws of the court, and everyone could take revenge and kill people on their own, then the world would definitely be in chaos."
Ye Wanhe sighed as she listened to Zhao Yunzhi's words. "Actually, I didn't just meet Ah Hong today. I met him long before I entered the palace. At that time, I thought his eyes were strange. Today, he said that I was like his sister. I guess he also treated me as his sister back then. He's a pitiful child."
Zhao Yun said, "It is his honor to be able to serve Your Majesty in the underworld."
