After Xie Shian's eyes met Fu Qianran's, he hurriedly looked away.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard again.
Yun Xiangye saw the big maroon horse from afar, and her heart finally settled down.
Gu Yan came on horseback and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yun Xiangye on the horse intact.
Gu Yan walked up to the white horse, hugged Yun Xiangye's waist tightly, and led her onto his horse. He held Yun Xiangye tightly in his arms and said, "Didn't you say you would always be with Nuonuo? I won't see you after I finish the polo match."
Yun Xiangye said, "Miss Fu and I wanted to go out for a walk to relax, but we lost our balance and rolled down the hillside."
Gu Yan saw Yun Xiangye's outer garment on Fu Qianran, "Why are you relaxing in the mountains?"
Yun Xiangye looked at the Crown Prince who came up behind Gu Yan and saluted, "Your Highness."
His Royal Highness dismounted and saw Fu Qianran standing beside the white horse. Her face was red and swollen, with obvious finger marks. He frowned and asked angrily, "Who hit you?"
Yun Xiangye quickly said, "I hit her. She fell and fainted. I was afraid she wouldn't wake up, so I slapped her hard. I had to do it out of urgency. I just wanted to save her..."
Zhao Yun turned around and looked at Yun Xiangye.
Gu Yanlian got off the horse, put his arm around Yun Xiangye, and knelt in front of Zhao Yun with her.
Zhao Yun frowned and looked at Yun Xiangye, saying, "Do you know what deceiving the emperor means? Tell me everything that happened today, without hiding anything!"
Fu Qianran also knelt in front of Zhao Yun.
Yun Xiangye glanced at Gu Yan and said, "I didn't dare lie to Your Highness. It was indeed me who slapped him."
Zhao Yun looked at Gu Yan and said, "You've found a good wife, Anque."
Yun Xiangye saw a woman in black descending from the tree. She knelt before Zhao Yun and said, "Your Highness, it was Lu Qingchao, a villager from Hongliu Village, who abducted Miss Fu to avenge his brother and sister-in-law. The Crown Prince's Consort had been following Miss Fu, trying to dissuade her from taking any risks, and was subsequently knocked unconscious..."
The black-clad secret guard reported everything that had just happened.
Yun Xiangye clenched his fists as he listened and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, the Lu family is already pitiful enough. After all, they didn't do anything to the Crown Princess. Please let them go."
Fu Qianran also kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, they are indeed eager for revenge. Please forgive them."
Zhao Yun looked at Fu Qianran's tattered clothes and said coldly, "You can be the Crown Princess because the Fu family has an excellent reputation and is a clean family. Now your brother has been causing trouble again and again, looting the people's land, and treating human life as worthless. Today, he even refused to care about the remains of his own mother, and instead let you, a woman, come and take risks. I can no longer forgive him, nor can I let you enter the Eastern Palace.
I will report this to my father and revoke the decree granting you the title of Crown Princess."
Upon hearing this, Fu Qianran kowtowed and said, "Your Highness...don't..."
"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. Please don't take back my position as Crown Princess..."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan, wanting Gu Yan to plead for Fu Qianran.
Gu Yan just held Yun Xiangye's hand tightly, signaling her not to make a sound.
Xie Shi'an quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, this was all done by Fu Ming. Your wedding date has been set, and it's less than two months away. The envoys from those small countries have probably already come to Chang'an to congratulate you on your wedding. You absolutely cannot revoke Miss Fu's position as Crown Princess at this time."
Zhao Yun said, "The Eastern Palace doesn't need a Crown Princess with a bad reputation!"
Yun Xiangye whispered, "It's not Fu Qianran whose reputation is ruined, it's her brother."
Gu Yan quickly reached out and covered Yun Xiangye's lips.
Zhao Yun didn't say much and left impatiently.
Yun Xiangye and Fu Qianran both collapsed to the ground powerlessly due to fainting just now.
Gu Yan hurriedly supported Yun Xiangye, and Yun Xiangye hurriedly said to Gu Yan: "Your Highness must get married in April!"
Gu Yan said: "Your Highness will definitely get married in April, but the person chosen will be different."
"Will there still be a big wedding?"
Yun Xiangye was really afraid that Zhao Yun would not get married in April. Her sister's belly might not be able to be hidden anymore and would start to show in four months. By then, her sister would have to fake her death and leave the palace.
Gu Yan hummed, "The wedding date has been set. His Majesty and the Queen will also allow the Crown Prince to get married in April."
Yun Xiangye breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Qianran, who was standing aside, had a look of despair on her face. She looked up at the sky helplessly, tears blurring her eyes... After all, could she still not be the Crown Princess?
When she was chosen as the Crown Princess five years ago, my mother was very happy, but not long after, she fell seriously ill and died.
Fu Qianran also delayed her first marriage because of this.
In order to manage the affairs of the harem, her father took in a second wife and arranged her wedding. However, on the third anniversary of her biological mother's birth, her stepmother passed away. Although she had only been her stepmother for two years, they were still mother and daughter, so she had to observe mourning again.
This time the wedding date was set, and when Fu Qianran thought she could finally enter the palace to fulfill her mother's wish, she was disliked by His Highness.
Fu Qianran, however, felt relieved. In the future, she would no longer be the Crown Princess... She didn't have to worry that after becoming the Crown Princess, she would be threatened by her brother to help him get promoted and seize the wealth of the common people.
She also doesn't have to let her family use her name as the Crown Princess to do evil things.
But she... was too embarrassed to go back to the Fu family.
Fu Qianran staggered to her feet and pulled out the phoenix hairpin on her head...
Seeing this, Yun Xiangye hurriedly said to Xie Shian, "Quickly stop her!"
Xie Shian quickly reached out and grasped the phoenix hairpin in Fu Qianran's hand, and with his other hand, he snatched the hairpin from Fu Qianran's hand.
