Yun Xiangye raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yan. Gu Yan was indeed very handsome.
Three years ago, her parents had passed away and she had registered as a daughter. She had originally planned not to marry in this life, but she still married Gu Yan.
Firstly, it was because of the life-saving grace, and secondly, it was because he was so handsome.
No wonder my cousin said that those noble ladies all fell in love with Gu Yan.
After getting on the carriage, Yun Xiangye said to Gu Yan, "This is truly a coincidence. I didn't expect to find my cousin so easily. Coming to Chang'an isn't all bad. At least I got to see my cousin and can get her out of the palace before the New Year."
Gu Yan said, "Aunt Ye, your cousin, is the head maid of the Eastern Palace and a first-rank female official. If the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, she will be the head maid of the imperial court, so she cannot leave the palace until she is 25."
Yun Xiangye said angrily, "But His Highness has already promised me that my cousin will leave the palace before the New Year. How can His Highness go back on his word?"
Gu Yan reached out and covered Yun Xiangye's mouth, saying, "Shh, don't be disrespectful to His Highness."
Yun Xiangye blinked and looked at Gu Yan, "But it was His Highness Wuxin who came first."
Gu Yan said slowly, "Your Highness didn't know earlier that your cousin was his chief maid. The head aunt of the Eastern Palace is not an ordinary maid, and there is no rule that says she can leave the palace at the age of 25."
Yun Xiangye said, "Can't you ask His Highness for help?"
Gu Yan said, "I begged His Highness, but the aunt who manages the Eastern Palace is His Highness's confidant and cannot leave the palace easily. Your cousin is powerful and influential in the palace and is a close confidant and favorite of His Highness. She will not have a hard time staying in the Eastern Palace."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly. Of course she was sad, after all, she was a slave.
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said, "Is there really no way to let my cousin leave the palace?"
Gu Yan shook his head, "Xiangye, that's the East Palace."
"But aren't you also His Highness's cousin? His Highness has so many servants and palace maids, why does he have to take my sister?" Yun Xiangye asked anxiously, "Gu Yan, can you help me get my sister out of the East Palace?"
Yun Xiangye thought of her uncle and aunt who were still waiting for her cousin to return home in Yongxing City. She could only suppress her anger towards Gu Yan and plead humbly.
After arriving in Chang'an City, everything went wrong.
I thought I was lucky enough to see my cousin without having to look for her, but I didn't expect such bad news.
Gu Yan sighed and said, "Xiang Ye, I can't help Aunt Ye leave the East Palace."
--
In the prince's bedroom.
Ye Wanhe put the contraceptive pill residue into gauze. After the residue dried, she would grind it into powder and sprinkle it in the East Palace Garden. No one would find out that she was taking contraceptive pills.
Squeak.
The door was pushed open.
When Ye Wanhe saw Zhao Yun enter, she bowed and said, "Your Highness."
Zhao Yun looked at Ye Wanhe's red eyes and said, "Seeing your family is a happy thing, why are you crying?"
Ye Wanhe hurriedly wiped her tears with the back of her hand and knelt down, saying, "I shouldn't cry in the palace. Truly...truly, I was heartbroken after hearing what my cousin said about my aunt and uncle's untimely death. My aunt took such good care of me when I was little."
Zhao Yun reached out and helped Ye Wanhe up. Looking at her tearful face, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. "Write a letter to your parents later to let them know you're safe. Also, tell them that after you turn twenty-five, you will remain in the palace and will not leave."
Ye Wanhe exclaimed in surprise: "Your Highness!"
"What?" Zhao Yun said in a light tone.
Ye Wanhe also knew that she had lost her composure. She lowered her head and knelt on the ground again, saying, "Your Highness, this servant, this servant..."
The words "I want to leave the palace" lingered on Ye Wanhe's lips, but she didn't know how to say it, nor did she dare to say it.
The Crown Prince in front of him appears gentle on the surface, but in fact he is the coldest and most ruthless.
"I obey your orders."
Ye Wanhe kowtowed, slowly closed her eyes, and tried her best not to let the tears fall.
