Zhao Jing frowned when he heard Gu Yan's words and said, "Gu Yan, you can't say that your cousin's wife is blind."
Gu Yan said, "Apart from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is there any man in this world who is more outstanding than you, my cousin? Isn't it just blindness that the woman doesn't want to marry you?"
Zhao Jing frowned and glanced at Gu Yan, "Stop talking about your cousin's wife."
Gu Yan chuckled and said, "I wonder what kind of drug my future cousin-in-law gave you? She doesn't want to marry you, yet you still protect her so much."
Zhao Jing didn't want his cousin to say that the girl he liked was short-sighted, so he talked to the prince about the affairs of the court.
Gu Yan waited for Zhao Jing and Zhao Yun to finish their conversation about state affairs. After seeing Zhao Jing leave, he looked at Zhao Yun and wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to start.
"Do you have anything else to do?"
Zhao Yun looked at Gu Yandao.
Gu Yan said, "Your Highness... could you please stop asking Aunt Ye to take contraceptive pills?"
Zhao Yun raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yan calmly.
Gu Yan said, "This is your private matter. I shouldn't say anything. Xiangye has been upset and fussing over the past few days because I lied to her about my identity for three years. Now that she knows her cousin has been taking contraceptive pills for years and is afraid she will never have children again, she's taken it all out on me."
Zhao Yun listened to Gu Yanzhi's words and frowned, "You are the dignified Prince of Ning after all. How dare she, a merchant girl from a small town in Jiangnan, get angry and act so presumptuous in front of you?"
"Yun Xiangye is not worthy of you. If she dares to act so rudely in front of you, you can divorce her and marry another noblewoman of equal status."
Gu Yan said: "Your Highness, at least we still have Nuonuo. I can't let Nuonuo be without her mother."
Zhao Yun asked, "What do you mean by taking contraceptive pills for years and being unable to have children?"
Gu Yan said, "My mother discovered this when she took Aunt Ye's pulse. She's been taking too many contraceptive pills, and now she's having trouble getting pregnant. If she takes them a few more times, she'll never have children again."
Zhao Yun frowned slightly when he heard this. He understood how his mother knew about his relationship with Wan He yesterday. "I know now. You may leave now."
"That contraceptive medicine..."
Zhao Yun said, "From now on, there is no need to ask the pharmacy to send medicine to the Eastern Palace."
"Yes." Gu Yan said, "Your Highness, I'll take my leave."
Zhao Yun watched Gu Yan leave, frowned slightly, and called out Wanhe.
It was the eunuch Li Quan who came in, "Your Highness, Aunt Ye is in the bedroom."
Zhao Yun frowned slightly and went to the bedroom. As soon as he entered the bedroom, he was smelling a strong smell of medicine.
Seeing Ye Wanhe about to drink the contraceptive medicine, Zhao Yun walked over and snatched the medicine bowl from her hand, "No need to drink it."
Ye Wanhe was startled. Turning around, she saw that it was Zhao Yun and hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Your Highness."
Zhao Yun placed the medicine on the table beside him and said, "You have been in charge of the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace before. Now that the Crown Princess is about to enter the Eastern Palace, you still have four months to take stock of the warehouse and check the account books so that you won't be too busy when the handover comes."
Ye Wanhe said, "I check the warehouse and account books every ten days to ensure there are no mistakes in the accounts. When the Crown Princess receives the accounts, she will be able to see everything clearly."
Zhao Yun looked at Ye Wanhe's submissive face, and felt an inexplicable anger in his heart. "You don't need to take this contraceptive medicine anymore."
Ye Wanhe clenched her hands and said, "Your Highness...I have to take contraceptive pills."
Zhao Yun looked down at Ye Wanhe and said, "You don't need to take medicine anymore. The eldest princess told you yesterday when she took your pulse that you are having difficulty conceiving now, so you don't need to take contraceptive pills in the future."
Ye Wanhe knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Highness, please have mercy on me and grant me contraceptive medicine."
Zhao Yun frowned when he saw Ye Wanhe kneeling at his feet and said, "If you take contraceptive pills again, you will be childless in this life."
Ye Wanhe's voice trembled as she said, "As a palace maid, I am destined to be childless in this life."
Zhao Yun frowned slightly and said, "You have always been obedient. Since I have already told you not to take the contraceptive medicine, do you still dare to disobey the master?"
Ye Wanhe slowly raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Yun: "Your Highness, no matter how difficult it is, there is always a chance of pregnancy. What if you are pregnant again? Will Your Highness allow me to give birth to the baby?"
Zhao Yun's sword-like brows furrowed even more tightly. He lowered his head to glance at Ye Wanhe's belly, then turned and left without saying anything else.
After seeing Zhao Yun leave, Ye Wanhe hurriedly picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. The black medicine did not taste bitter at all between her lips and teeth.
Compared to the heart-wrenching pain of losing a child, this medicine is not bitter at all.

The Princess's Mansion, in Qingfeng Garden.
After Yun Xiangye returned to the mansion from Chu Jing Pavilion, she asked Run'er to find the four palace maids and the nanny she brought from the palace yesterday.
Yun Xiangye looked at the beautiful palace maids and nurses in front of her and asked, "What were your original names, and where did you work?"
The leading maid, who looked to be around thirty years old, bowed and said, "My name is Yin Liu. I used to serve the Shang Gong Master in the Shang Gong Bureau. I am twenty-eight years old this year."
Yin Liu introduced them one by one: "This girl is Xueyan from the kitchen, this is Amber from the treasure room, Sulan from the embroidery room, and Xingtao from the kitchen. They are all just fifteen years old this year."
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "Xueyan, Amber, Sulan, Xingtao, your names are good, there's no need to change them.
Aunt Yinliu, I just arrived in Chang'an and I am not sure about anything in the city. I hope you can help me in the future."
"You are so polite, Princess. I will definitely serve you well in the future."
Yun Xiangye said, "You all go and do your own things first. I'll call you if there's anything."
