At the gate of Chang'an City, a carriage drove into the city.
Ye Wanhe in the carriage called Zhu Ting outside to come in.
Zhu Ting felt a little embarrassed to ride in the same carriage with Ye Wanhe.
Ye Wanhe smiled faintly and said, "With your face, if you don't hide in the carriage, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to meet His Highness. Chen Qing and I used to be good friends, so we don't have so many concerns."
Zhu Ting then sat awkwardly in the carriage.
At noon, Ye Wanhe only let Chen Qing get off the carriage to buy some food. She did not dare to get off the carriage, nor did she dare to leave the Gu family's guards.
Chen Qing brought back a few large pancakes not long after. "I went to buy some pancakes just now, and I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is dying, and he can't even make it through the Dragon Boat Festival. I wonder if we can still see His Royal Highness?"
After hearing what Shen Qing said, Ye Wanhe lost all interest in eating the cake.
He only ordered the guards driving the carriage to go to the Princess's Mansion quickly.
--
Inside the Princess's Mansion.
Yun Xiangye accompanied Nuonuo and Xiao Jingyu in pounding spices. Although Xiao Jingyu was young, she was very skilled in pounding medicine.
Run'er came over hurriedly and said, "Miss, Miss, the doorman is here to report that Miss Shen Qingchen wants to see you."
Yun Xiangye looked at Xie Zhixuan and said, "Mother, my good friend in Yongxing City is here."
Xie Zhixuan nodded lightly towards Yun Xiangye and said, "You go meet them."
Yun Xiangye hurriedly took Xiao Nuonuo's hand and went to the reception hall of the Princess's Mansion. She saw Chen Qing in the hall, as well as a man and a woman, both wearing veils.
But Yun Xiangye immediately recognized the woman in the veiled hat in front of her, "Sister? Why did you return to Chang'an?"
Ye Wanhe asked Yun Xiangye, "Your Highness, is he... okay?"
Yun Xiangye said, "He's not a good person."
Ye Wanhe frowned slightly.
Yun Xiangye said, "He's not feeling well. Half of his black hair has turned white. He can't eat anything. He throws up after eating..."
Ye Wanhe clenched her hands and said nothing more.
Yun Xiangye saw Chen Qing with a puzzled look on her face and smiled faintly, "It's been almost two years since I last saw you. Nuonuo, call me auntie."
"Auntie."
Chen Qing also smiled at Yun Xiangye and said, "Xiangye, Nuonuo has grown so big."
Chen Qing picked her up and said with a soft smile: "Oh, I can hardly hold this little girl anymore. Do you still remember your aunt?"
Nuonuo smiled and said, "Auntie!"
Yun Xiangye saw the man wearing a veil next to Chen Qing and asked, "Chen Qing, who is this?"
Chen Qing smiled faintly and said, "He is my husband, Zhu Ting."
Yun Xiangye asked, "Why is your husband still wearing a veil? Come to think of it, I don't even remember what he looks like."
Chen Qing's husband had only met her a few times from afar. It was really because Chen Qing's parents-in-law were too partial to each other. There were many farmhands in the house, and they all insisted that their second son make wine. As a result, Zhu Ting rarely came out and had no time to accompany Chen Qing out.
Ye Wanhe said from the side: "Zhu Ting, take off your veil. It's safe here."
After Zhu Ting took off his veil, a face that Yun Xiangye felt was familiar was revealed. It took Yun Xiangye a while to realize that this face really looked like the King of Chu.
Chen Qing saw the look on Yun Xiangye's face as she looked at her husband and asked, "Who does my husband look like?"
Yun Xiangye said, "It looks like His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu. Very similar."
Shen Qing was stunned, "King of Chu?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Yes, he looks very similar to Gu Yan's second uncle, the King of Chu. By the way, sister, how did you two get together?"
Chen Qing said, "Originally, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent Prince Ning to find someone to get us to Chang'an. However, a while ago, the boatman who brought us to Chang'an and my servants took advantage of a violent storm to commit murder and money. They also poisoned Prince Ning's men and they are still in danger of dying. Luckily, Wan He saved us. I still get scared when I think about it now."
When Yun Xiangye heard what Chen Qing said, "I'm afraid this isn't just a simple murder for money, is it?"
Ye Wanhe nodded and said, "I also don't think it's a murder for money. It's not surprising that people in this world look alike. There are tens of millions of people in this world, so it's inevitable that some look alike. Chen Qing and her husband were stopped by the Zhu family when they were about to come to Chang'an, and now they were almost killed. It's obvious that Zhu Ting's identity must be related to the King of Chu..."
Chen Qing raised her eyes and looked at her husband. She kept lowering her head. If her husband was the son of the King of Chu, then she, a common girl, would probably not be worthy of Zhu Ting.
Chen Qing said: "Could it be just a coincidence?"
Yun Xiangye said, "If the resemblance seems like a coincidence, then the murder is also a coincidence."
Yun Xiangye said, "You can go to my courtyard and rest for a while. When my husband returns, I will have him take you to meet His Highness."
Chen Qing looked at Zhu Ting, who remained silent, and nodded, "Okay."
Yun Xiangye took them to Qingfeng Garden.
After entering Qingfeng Garden, Ye Wanhe called Yun Xiangye to the side and asked, "Is Your Highness truly doomed and dying?"
Seeing that no one was around, Yun Xiangye told Ye Wanhe the truth: "This is what happened before. The Crown Prince couldn't eat anything and almost lost his life. So the Princess told His Highness that you were still alive and showed him the letter you wrote. After His Highness knew you were still alive, he gradually got better..."
Ye Wanhe said calmly, "Then why is there still news circulating in Chang'an City that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is seriously ill and about to die?"
Yun Xiangye leaned close to Ye Wanhe's ear and told her about Zhao Jing's attempt to rebel and seize the throne from the young emperor's grandson.
Ye Wanhe couldn't help but frown.
Yun Xiangye said, "Your Highness also wanted to see who in the court had second thoughts, so he pretended to be dying."
