If Zhao Jing really liked Yun Xiangye, he wouldn't have found out after three years of marriage.
All of this is due to fate.
The reason why Zhao Jing found it so hard to accept was simply that Yun Xiangye’s husband was Gu Yan, the Gu Yan he had been jealous of all his life.
Zhao Jing said, "So what? I'm going to take everything that belongs to Gu Yan. Xiang Ye should be my woman, my Imperial Consort! Gu Yan should bow down and serve me as his subordinate!"
"Mother, you don't need to persuade me. I'm determined to take the throne! You and father don't need to stop me. Anyone who obstructs my great cause will be treated as a traitor to me!"
When the Princess of Chu saw Zhao Jing walking away angrily, she shook her head and sighed. She couldn't help but wonder, was it because she didn't teach him well?
But I have also taught well in the past twenty-four years.
Or is it that he has Zhu family blood in his veins, which is why he is so jealous and extreme?
The King of Chu walked up to the Princess of Chu and advised, "It's my incompetence. I have no power in the court. I've been a coward all my life. I can't even discipline our son."
"Husband, I have something to say to you alone."
The Princess of Chu took the King of Chu into the bedroom and tearfully told him everything about the Zhu Ting.
Seeing the tearful Princess Chu, the King of Chu said, "Don't blame yourself. It was my fault back then. I have let you down and let our child down. Tomorrow I will go to the Princess's residence to meet him."

Inside the Princess's Mansion.
At dusk, a meal was served at the Tingyun Water Pavilion to entertain Zhu Ting and Chen Qing.
Gu Yangang came back and rushed to the banquet. When he saw Zhu Ting's appearance, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Yun Xiangye whispered a few words in Gu Yan's ear, and Gu Yan finally understood.
Yun Xiangye whispered to Gu Yan again, "My sister is back. She asked you to pass a message to His Highness, telling him that my sister is in the Princess's residence."
Gu Yan also whispered to Yun Xiangye, "Okay, I'll go to the East Palace to deliver the message later."
After the meal, Yun Xiangye went to the guest house next to Qingfeng Garden and asked Chen Qing if there was anything else he wanted to buy.
Chen Qing said, "We already have everything here, no need to buy anything else. Xiangye, thank you very much."
Yun Xiangye said, "Why bother with such polite words between you and me? If you need anything, just tell Xueyan. I'll let Xueyan take good care of you these few days."
Yun Xiangye saw that Chen Qing looked uneasy, so she took him to the pavilion in the courtyard. The early summer evening breeze was quite cool.
"Chen Qing, you don't have to worry too much about your safety. You are safe in the Princess's Mansion."
Chen Qing said, "Now that we're here, I'm not worried about our safety. I just didn't expect Zhu Ting to become the prince of the palace. The princess just said that she would return the position of the Prince of Chu to Zhu Ting. How can a small town merchant girl like me be worthy of the Prince of Chu?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Why do you have to belittle yourself? Am I not also a small town merchant's daughter who married the Prince of Ning?"
Yun Xiangye gently patted Chen Qing's hand and said, "You and Zhu Ting have been married for many years. He won't betray you."
Shen Qing looked back into the house and sighed, "Alas."
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly at Chen Qing: "Have more faith in your husband. If you have this concern, you should talk it out with Zhu Ting."
Yun Xiangye recalled the quarrel she had with Gu Yan when she first came to Chang'an. Now thinking about it, she also did not trust Gu Yan, but Gu Yan had kept it a secret from her for three years. How could she trust him?
However, Chen Qing and Zhu Ting are different. There is nothing hidden between them, so there should be no misunderstanding.
Chen Qing smiled at Yun Xiangye and said, "By the way, why didn't Wan He eat with us just now?"
Yun Xiangye explained, "She can't show her face in front of others for the time being."
Shen Qing was curious, but did not ask any further questions.
Yun Xiangye chatted with Chen Qing for a long time, and only said goodbye to Chen Qing when it was dark.
Yun Xiangye went to Ye Wanhe's room again and asked if there was anything she needed to buy.
When Yun Xiangye entered, she saw Ye Wanhe holding Yu'er's rattle and gently turning it.
Yun Xiangye asked, "Sister, do you miss Yu'er?"
Ye Wanhe said, "I haven't seen Yu'er for so long, I miss him so much, but I can't enter the palace right now."
Yun Xiangye said, "Sister, Gu Yan has gone to the East Palace to deliver the message."
Ye Wanhe held the rattle tightly in her hand, but she didn't know how to face Zhao Yun. She looked towards the door, her mind in a mess.
But now that she has returned to Chang'an, she also wants to see Zhao Yun...
Just say goodbye properly.
