Gu Yan gestured for Run'er to leave after applying the medicine. He went over and sat down next to Yun Xiangye, comforting her, "Don't worry, I won't let Wu Yong off easily."
Yun Xiangye bit her lip and said, "I heard he's the Crown Princess's cousin?"
Gu Yan said: "Yes, the Crown Princess's biological mother, Madam Wu, is the sister of the current Earl of Xicheng."
Yun Xiangye said, "Will punishing Wu Yong offend the Crown Princess? I don't want to offend Fu Qianran."
Yun Xiangye also had to consider her sister to some extent. If her sister could never leave the palace for the rest of her life, then she obviously could not offend Fu Qianran.
Gu Yan said: "Wu Yong was disrespectful to you first, you don't have to endure the injustice."
Yun Xiangye said in a low voice, "But if I offend Fu Qianran because of this, and my sister is implicated, I will be guilty. I don't want to become Fu Qianran's enemy."
Gu Yan embraced Yun Xiangye in his arms and said, "Wu Yong was wrong to tease you with his words. If Fu Qianran holds a grudge against you because of this, then she is not worthy of being the Crown Princess."
After Gu Yan finished speaking, he yawned and said, "My knees are hurt after kneeling all night. Can you help me apply some medicine?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Wipe it yourself."
Gu Yan said, "Xiangye, am I not even as good as Run'er in your heart? You help Run'er apply the medicine but not me?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Run'er took that slap for me, but the injury on your knee was your own fault."
Gu Yan was really tired, and yawned again, saying, "I was punished to kneel all night and didn't sleep. You can accompany me to take a nap for a while."
Yun Xiangye didn't refuse. After all, she also wanted to take a nap. Maybe it was because it was spring, but she had been feeling very sleepy lately.

Fu family.
Fu Qianran was reading poems in the room. When she heard that the old lady and the wife of the Marquis of Xicheng were coming, she went to the yard to greet them.
"Grandma, aunt, why are you two here?"
The old lady of Xicheng County held Fu Qianran's hand and said, "Qianran, you have to help your brother. The Yun family is really too bullying. First, they poured tea all over your brother, and then allowed her maid to slap your brother. Your brother is so delicate and precious that no one in the family has ever been willing to hit him! The Yun family even asked the prefect of Chang'an to put your brother in jail..."
The old lady of Xichengbo said anxiously, "Brother Yong has never suffered such hardship before. Go and beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to release your cousin from prison and punish Yun severely!"
