Yu Xihe whispered, "I dare not associate with the Prince of Xiang."
Ye Wanhe smiled softly and said, "You have done His Highness a favor, so why can't you marry the Prince of Xiang?"
Yu Xihe clenched her fists and whispered, "I can't marry the Prince of Xiang because Miaomiao loves him. Miaomiao and I are close friends, and I can't steal the man she loves..."
Ye Wanhe paused for a moment. Her own sister actually liked Prince Xiang?
Ye Wanhe looked at Yu Xihe and asked, "What business have you come to see His Highness today?"
Yu Xihe said, "I don't have anything important to talk to Brother Yun about. Since Brother Yun is not here, I will take my leave first."
"Stop!" Ye Wanhe said when she saw Yu Xihe turning to leave, "You can't just call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by his name. This is in the palace, so please be careful when addressing him."
Yu Xihe pouted in grievance when she heard what Ye Wanhe said. She looked at Ye Wanhe with hatred in her eyes. She said unwillingly, "Brother Yun didn't forbid me to call him Brother Yun."
Ye Wanhe laughed and said, "Your Highness is busy with official duties, so naturally he won't correct the rules of a humble family like you. But you and I are from the same hometown, and I recommended your father to be the prefect. You are now the daughter of an official, so you should know some rules. I, the Crown Princess, am teaching you the rules, and you refuse to accept it?"
Yu Xihe said, "Your Highness allowed me to call you Brother Yun."
Ye Wanhe picked up the phoenix hairpin beside her and put it on her bun. She glanced at Yu Xihe, who was looking unyielding, and just smiled without saying anything more to her. "Go down."
Yu Xihe turned around and left the bedroom. After she went out, she frowned, a little puzzled. Ye Wanhe had clearly drugged His Highness, so why did His Highness let Ye Wanhe off so easily?
Ye Wanhe really lived up to the saying "a villain succeeds".
Yu Xihe left the East Palace with a face still filled with grief and anger. At the gate of the East Palace, she met a woman who looked very noble. Yu Xihe did not recognize the noble woman, but she did recognize the man beside her: "Brother Chu Jing."
Zhao Jing looked back and then looked at Yu Xihe and asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm Yu Xihe. Have you forgotten? Five years ago, you took me to buy food. But I was quite young back then, so you probably didn't recognize me."
Zhao Jing then remembered that five years ago when he was in Jiangnan, he met a little girl who looked very friendly. At that time, her father had just passed the imperial examination and became the magistrate of Shanyin County.
The little girl was lively and cute, and Zhao Jing was particularly impressed. Five years later, she had grown into a graceful young lady.
Zhao Jing smiled and said, "So it's you. You've grown up now. I almost didn't recognize you."
Wei Xi raised an eyebrow and said, "Yu Xihe? This name sounds familiar. Are you the girl who saved my cousin, the Crown Prince?"
Yu Xihe finally knew the identity of the noble woman in front of her, "Yes."
Wei Yu stepped forward, shook Yu Xihe's hand, and said, "So it's you. Why did you leave the Eastern Palace looking so aggrieved? My cousin is really something. How could someone be so kind to me?"
Yu Xihe hurriedly said, "It's not Your Highness. You shouldn't blame Your Highness. Today Your Highness is not in the East Palace. It's the Crown Princess..."
Wei Xi frowned and asked, "Crown Princess?"
Yu Xihe said, "A few days ago, the Queen praised me. I should have been the one who smiled so charmingly that all the beauties in the palace pale in comparison. But instead, I earned the Crown Princess's jealousy. She made things difficult for me, found fault with me, and used her status as the Crown Princess to pressure me..."
Wei Xi snorted, "A lowly person is just short-sighted. Don't bother with her. You have done His Highness a favor, so you should be a distinguished guest of the Eastern Palace."
Yu Xihe listened to Wei Xi's words and said, "Ye Wanhe poisoned His Highness, forcing Him to sleep in the cowshed and suffer humiliation. How can she have the nerve to use her status as the Crown Princess to pressure others?"
Wei Xi frowned and asked, "What did you say?"
Zhao Jing also said, "You said it was the Crown Princess who drugged the Crown Prince?"
Yu Xihe knew that she had let something slip, and hurriedly said, "No...no..."
Wei Xi pulled Yu Xihe into her carriage. "My dear sister, I am not an outsider. The Crown Prince is my cousin. This is my husband, the Prince of Chu. He is also the Crown Prince's cousin. Did you just say that the Crown Princess harmed the Crown Prince?"
It was strange that His Highness came back to life. No one in the court could detect his serious illness. In fact, no one believed it.
Zhao Jing looked at Yu Xihe and said, "Sister Yu, we are not outsiders. Please speak."
Yu Xihe looked at Wei Yu, who was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Wei. She was kind to everyone and didn't look down on her at all. She even called her "good sister" and was so gentle that she no longer had any guard. She said, "It was Ye Wanhe who gave the Crown Prince a fake death drug."
Zhao Jing thought to himself that it was no wonder that His Highness dismissed Gu Yan from his official position as soon as he returned to Chang'an, and did not give any reason.
The fake death drug in the Crown Princess's hand must have been given by Gu Yan. Only my aunt has the fake death drug.
Wei Yu couldn't help but frown and asked, "Does Your Highness know about this?"
Yu Xihe nodded and said, "Your Highness knows about this."
Wei Xi asked, "Since Your Highness knew that it was the Crown Princess who drugged him to fake his death and intended to harm him, why didn't you punish the Crown Princess?"
Yu Xihe whispered, "I don't know about that. I just feel sorry for His Highness. The Crown Princess is so vain that she doesn't even recognize her own parents. She even drugged His Highness. Now she's still using her status as the Crown Princess to act so high and mighty. She's really too arrogant."
Wei Yu frowned and said, "Don't worry, Ye Wanhe won't be so arrogant for long."
Wei Xi hurriedly got off the carriage and went to Fengyi Palace to look for Queen Wei.
"aunt."
When Queen Wei saw Wei Xi coming, she asked, "What brings you here?"
