Yun Xiangye said, "Sister, if you return to Chang'an, His Highness will eventually discover you."
Ye Wanhe whispered, "After I leave, he will definitely marry a noblewoman from the court and make her his Crown Princess. When he has a new love, why would he even think about whether I'm still alive? He will just treat me as an ordinary Taoist nun."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly and said, "Sister..."
"I'll leave Yu'er to you for now. I'll go to Yongxing City to pay my respects to my grandparents, aunt, and uncle, and then visit my brother and sister-in-law. I'll then come back to see Yu'er. I can't bear to leave him for too long."
Yun Xiangye nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Yu'er."
--
In the East Palace study.
Gu Yan used the white medicine he carried with him to bandage the red marks on Zhao Yun's hands.
Zhao Yun frowned in pain and looked at Gu Yan: "It's all because of the Yun family's rampant behavior that Wan He has been led astray."
Gu Yan defended Yun Xiangye and said, "Your Highness, what you said is irrational. What does this have to do with Xiangye? Besides, if you dislike her for leading the Crown Princess astray, why did you summon her to the palace today?"
Zhao Yun said coldly, "Ye Wanhe is becoming more and more arrogant. I've already let her off lightly, but not only is she not grateful, she's even getting ahead of me."
Gu Yan whispered, "You know exactly what she wants. Since you can forgive her for faking your death, why not allow her to be a daughter of the Ye family again?"
Zhao Yun looked at Gu Yan and said, "I am the crown prince of Dasheng. Wouldn't it be shameful for me to marry a palace maid? Making her a daughter of the Wei family is also to ensure that she can more firmly hold the position of Crown Princess."
Gu Yan said: "Your Highness, do you love the Crown Princess?"
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Are you talking nonsense?"
If he didn't love her, would he give her the position of Crown Princess?
Gu Yan couldn't help but smile, "Since you love her, you should love everything about her."
Zhao Yun looked up at Gu Yan and sighed, "If I weren't the crown prince of Dasheng, and I were of the same status as you, I could have let her be my wife without any scruples as a daughter of the Ye family. But I am the crown prince of Dasheng, and my crown princess will be the future queen of Dasheng. How can I allow her to be a lowly merchant or palace maid?"
Gu Yan sighed, and seeing that he couldn't persuade Zhao Yun, he stopped trying.
After bandaging the wound, Zhao Yun went to the bedroom. When he entered, he saw Ye Wanhe drinking medicine, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
After Yun Xiangye saluted Zhao Yun, she took her leave.
After Zhao Yun had the maids leave, he looked at Ye Wanhe and said, "Do you really have to be so angry just because of your sister's words? If you blame me for forcing you to marry the Wei family, and you also gave me a fake death drug, I won't bother with you any more. This grudge should be settled."
Ye Wanhe put down the medicine bowl, looked at Zhao Yun and asked, "When you were in Fangqiao Town, did you spend a night alone with Yu Xihe?"
Zhao Yun frowned slightly and said, "So what?"
Ye Wanhe sneered and said, "So what? So what? You are the crown prince, so you can spend the night with other women as you please..."
Ye Wanhe's eyes were full of sarcasm.
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Didn't you drug me with a mute drug, causing me to be reduced to slavery in Fangqiao Town, which is why I spent a night alone with her? And now you're blaming me for this?"
Ye Wanhe whispered, "How dare I blame you? You are the crown prince. You can spend a night with any girl you want. As the crown princess, I should be generous and virtuous."
Zhao Yun was very displeased when he heard her words, "What did you say?"
Ye Wanhe said slowly, "Since Your Highness wants to repay a favor, why bother recognizing her as your sister? Wouldn't it be better to let her come to the East Palace and be my sister?"
Zhao Yun was furious when he heard this and said, "You know full well there will only be one Crown Princess in the Eastern Palace, so why are you talking nonsense? It's just a one-night stand, why are you fussing over it?"
Ye Wanhe looked at Zhao Yun, her eyes full of disappointment and sarcasm. She felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart.
Just one night together?
How could Zhao Yun say such words so lightly...
Ye Wanhe sat on the small couch and said, "Your Highness, I'm tired. I want to take a nap. You can go out first."
Zhao Yun looked at the weak Ye Wanhe and said, "I'll stay by your side, go to sleep."
Ye Wanhe fell asleep slowly and took a nap for about quarter of an hour. However, she had many dreams and when she woke up, she had a thin layer of sweat on her body.
There was no trace of Zhao Yun around.
Ye Wanhe went to a corner of the bedroom, opened the locked box, and took out the dagger from it.
Ye Wanhe dug out the wedding dress she wore on her wedding day. She sat in front of the bronze mirror and dressed herself up. She put on a red coral phoenix crown. After putting on makeup in the mirror, she saw that she looked much better.
Ye Wanhe sat at the desk, thinking for a long time, but didn't know what to write.
Until dark.
Ye Wanhe heard the sound coming from outside, so she took out a fake death pill and drank it mixed with tea.
Ye Wanhe stabbed her thigh with a hairpin, causing herself pain and keeping herself conscious.
Zhao Yun walked in from outside and saw only Ye Wanhe in the bedroom. Looking at Ye Wanhe's attire, Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Why are you wearing your wedding dress again..."
Ye Wanhe walked up to Zhao Yun and threw herself into his arms.
Zhao Yun thought that she had thought he was dirty during the day, but now she was willing to be in his arms, so he just thought she had figured it out.
Zhao Yun touched Ye Wanhe's head and said, "Wanhe."
Ye Wanhe whispered in Zhao Yun's arms: "Your Highness, I'll trouble you to take good care of my parents and my Yu'er..."
Zhao Yun looked down at Ye Wanhe in his arms and said, "I will take good care of your parents and Yu'er. What happened to you today?"
