Xie Zhixuan glanced at Gu Yan calmly and said, "I can give you this fake death drug, but it's a serious matter and you should use it with caution."
Gu Yan hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, mother."
Gu Yan hurriedly followed Xie Zhixuan to the main courtyard to get the fake death medicine.
After getting the fake death pill sealed in the porcelain bottle, Gu Yan returned to his room.
As soon as he entered the inner room, Gu Yan saw the peaceful sleeping faces of the mother and daughter, and whispered to wake Yun Xiangye.
Yun Xiangye opened her eyes and looked at Gu Yan, annoyed, "Isn't it enough that you've made me angry? You're also disturbing my sleep?"
Gu Yan handed a small porcelain bottle to Yun Xiangye and said, "This contains the fake death drug."
Yun Xiangye took the porcelain bottle, opened the lid, took out the red cloth stuffed inside, and saw the pill inside. "Can taking such a small pill really be the same as death?"
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Yeah."
Yun Xiangye put the porcelain bottle aside and said, "It's a pity that my sister didn't agree to fake her death. She didn't want it to implicate me and her family. So you took the medicine in vain."
She wanted her sister to fake her death and leave the palace, but her sister was unwilling to cooperate, and Yun Xiangye couldn't force her to fake her death.
Gu Yan said: "Sister He is much more considerate of the overall situation than you."
Yun Xiangye got angry again after hearing what Gu Yan said, "This medicine is not completely free, at least I can use it."
Gu Yan frowned upon hearing this and said, "I don't agree to a divorce, and you can't even think of faking your own death and leaving. Most doctors can't see the symptoms of this, but my mother can."
Yun Xiangye said, "Bah! I wouldn't take the fake death drug myself. If I gave it to you, I would secretly give it to you when your mother-in-law is not at home. I would keep your body for two days and then bury you alive!"
Gu Yan chuckled softly, then climbed onto the bed and rested beside Yun Xiangye. "I know you're reluctant to kill me, it was just a fit of anger."
Yun Xiangye glared at Gu Yan and said, "Don't you despise me because I'm a commoner? Go away now, or you'll be tainted by my commoner airs."
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye in his arms and said, "Didn't I tell you that my mother was also a pharmacist in the market when she was young? Even my grandmother's second husband after leaving the late queen was a pharmacist. My mother worked as a merchant for more than twenty years before she realized she was the princess. Why would I care whether I am a pharmacist or not?"
Gu Yan whispered in Yun Xiangye's ear, "You've been blaming me for hiding my identity from you for three years. I really don't think it's necessary to say all this. It's because my mother was born into a merchant family. She wouldn't look down on you because of your background. As for my father, he rarely even cares about me. He's either preoccupied with His Majesty's worries or with my mother. He never bothered with you."
Yun Xiangye said, "Who said your father doesn't care about me? On the third day of junior high school, I ran into your father in my mother's yard. He looked at me and Nuonuo with displeasure, even anger... He was just not satisfied with me..."
Gu Yan said: "On the third day of junior high school... I understood."
Gu Yan said helplessly, "You went to my mother's yard to pick up Nuonuo that day, right? When I was little, my father would get jealous because my mother took care of me so much. What's more, we left Nuonuo in my mother's care on her rare day off."
Yun Xiangye was stunned for a moment before saying, "Are you saying that my father-in-law was upset with me because he felt that Nuonuo was monopolizing the time he spent with mother?"
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Well, don't underestimate him, he's second to none and holds great power, but he's like a candy man in front of my mother, very clingy. My father was so jealous when I was a child. We left Nuonuo with my mother, taking up the time he and my mother had alone. How could he not be angry with you and me?"
Yun Xiangye asked, "Are you serious?"
Gu Yan said, "If my father really hated you, he wouldn't have just been teasing you based on the slaps you gave me."
Yun Xiangye's face flushed immediately, "Does my father-in-law know that I hit you?"
Gu Yan said: "Well, my father only cares about my mother. When Jingyu and I were young, we were always attached to our mother, but he even despised us. He didn't think it was childish to be jealous of the child."
Yun Xiangye thought, Gu Yan felt that his father was childish for stealing his mother from him, was it because Gu Yan didn't care about or love him at all?
If he could care about me as much as Prince Ning cares about the eldest princess, I would probably understand.
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye in his arms and said, "My parents really don't dislike you. Don't make yourself angry and don't think too much about it."
"Did I make myself angry today? You're going to argue about who's superior to me, how can I not be angry?"
Yun Xiangye said, "If you want to be respected, then you'd better agree to a divorce. By then, I'll be just a small embroidery shop owner, and you'll be the high and mighty Prince of Ning. Naturally, I'll be respectful to you and kneel whenever I see you. But if I were still your wife, I would never respect you."
Gu Yan said: "I just said that what His Royal Highness said is correct, and I don't want you to respect me."
Gu Yan looked down at Yun Xiangye in his arms and said, "If I really had this idea, why would I let you beat and scold me time and time again, and force me to kneel down? Don't you know who is the respected one in our family? Did I slap you four times?"
Yun Xiangye said, "I didn't do anything wrong, why did you slap me?"
Gu Yan said: "Yes, it's my fault, but you are obviously the most respected person in our family. Why are you still angry about this?"
Yun Xiangye snorted, "I absolutely do not agree with your statement that you respect me."
Gu Yan said, "From now on, I will respect you as my superior. Can you calm down now?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Just because I'm your superior, does that mean you have to obey me in everything?"
Gu Yan said: "As long as I can do it, I will obey you in everything."
