Ye Beilan was silent for a moment, but did not insist that Yun Wanyue follow him.
Yun Wanyue watched Ye Beilan leave, turned around and left, intending to go see Mei Bin.
The news of Concubine Mei's pregnancy was already known by Ye Fengtian, who restored Concubine Mei's position as concubine and was only waiting for the birth of a prince before she could be promoted.
Yun Wanyue wanted to congratulate her.
Ye Jinchao called out to Yun Wanyue: "Yue'er."
Yun Wanyue turned back and looked at Ye Jinchao with a frown. In the palace, it would be inappropriate to address herself like this to others, right?
Ye Jinchao saw Yun Wanyue's troubles and explained: "I know you will be unhappy if I call you brother or sister."
Yun Wanyue saw that Ye Jinchao had good intentions, so she didn't say much at this time.
Ye Jinchao looked at Yun Wanyue with a gentle face, and there was a bit of pity in his eyes: "I apologize to you on behalf of Beilan. He was obsessed with Shen Rong'er and didn't know how good you were."
Yun Wanyue didn't expect Ye Jinchao to comfort her.
She said: "Thank you, His Highness King Zhao."
After she and Ye Beilan reconciled, King Zhao was no longer a brother-in-law, so it was better to stay apart at this time.
"Your Highness, I still have things to do, so I'll take my leave first." After Yun Wanyue finished speaking, she left without giving Ye Jinchao a chance to recover.
Ye Jinchao stretched out his hand, trying to grab Yun Wanyue's sleeve, but it fell down empty. He only caught two snowflakes in his hand. The snowflakes melted in his hands, leaving only a bit of coolness.
But Ye Jinchao didn't know what he thought of, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.
Yun Wanyue has arrived at Mei Concubine's palace.
Concubine Mei was very happy when she saw Yun Wanyue: "Sister Wan Yue, why haven't you entered the palace during this time?"
After Mei Bin said this, she seemed to realize that something was wrong, so she said: "I know what King Lan did... and I also know why you didn't enter the palace. I just miss you so much."
She is also a person with a cold personality and doesn't have many friends around her, but she truly treats Yun Wanyue as a friend who helps her wholeheartedly.
Yun Wanyue looked at Mei Concubine's swollen belly and said with a smile, "I'm here, aren't I?"
"Do you know whether the one in your belly is a prince or a princess?" Yun Wanyue asked.
After hearing this, Mei Concubine said worriedly: "I hope this is a little princess. It has been a long time since the prince in the harem has grown up healthily..."
Yun Wanyue knew what Concubine Mei was worried about, so she comforted her: "It's different now. Your Majesty already has three adult princes by your side. No one will pay attention to this newborn baby."
Even if it is a fight, it should be a fight between adult princes, right? It would be too crazy to not let go of a newborn child.
Mei Bin was comforted and her eyebrows relaxed.
Mei Bin hesitated for a moment, then asked with concern: "After King Lan comes back, how will things... be between you two?"
Yun Wanyue knew what Concubine Mei was worried about, and she had no intention of hiding it, so she said openly: "Ye Beilan and I have decided to make peace, and His Majesty has promised us that once the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is over, we will be allowed to leave." Peace and separation."
Mei Bin was startled: "Did King Lan force you to do so?"
Yun Wanyue shook her head: "No, Sister Mei Bin, you should know that even though that person is high and powerful, he is not what I want, so there is no force to speak of. It is me who wants to leave."
Mei Bin's expression darkened, and she said thoughtfully: "It would be great if I could be as free and easy as you.
"By the way, I have already investigated everything you asked me to investigate." Mei Bin said.
After hearing this, Yun Wanyue suddenly became energetic.
Mei Bin stepped back and then whispered: "Your guess is correct. Prince Lan is indeed not the biological prince of Concubine De."
"Not many people know about this matter. When I was in the clothing bureau, I accidentally met an old woman and found out the secret of that year."
"Only after verification and confirmation can I dare to tell you." Mei Bin's tone was serious.
The look on Yun Wanyue's face also became serious.
Just listen to Mei Bin continue to say: "Back then, your Majesty loved a woman from the common people very much, but the woman passed away when she was giving birth to a son."
"Empress De Fei also gave birth at this time. After the child she gave birth to died, Concubine De quietly had the two children swapped..." Mei Bin lowered her voice.
After Yun Wanyue listened, she finally understood.
No wonder Concubine De didn't want Ye Beilan to steal Ye Jinchao's limelight.
On normal days, when there were no disputes over interests, Concubine De might not intend to take action against Ye Beilan, because Ye Beilan's following Ye Jinchao would also be a great help to Ye Jinchao.
But now that His Majesty has begun to value Ye Beilan, Concubine De is naturally unhappy and wants to take action to "rectify the chaos."
As for the matter of Concubine De changing her children, it is also easy to understand.
The death of her biological son would inevitably cause her status in the palace to plummet. If she were replaced by a healthy prince, it would be of great benefit to her without any harm.
only……
Did that folk woman really have an accident or died of illness?
Just when Yun Wanyue thought of this, Mei Bin said with an embarrassed look on her face: "I shouldn't tell you this matter, but I'll tell you anyway."
"I suspect that there was something wrong with the cause of death of this woman who came from the private sector."
Mei Bin continued: "I can't say for sure, it was that person's handiwork."
Yun Wanyue said: "Is there any evidence?"
Mei Bin said: "There is no direct evidence, but an insider told me that this folk woman was not a concubine at the time, but she was loved very much. Everyone called her Miss Jade."
"It was midsummer when Miss Jade gave birth. Concubine De sent some ice over. I heard that Miss Jade was in good health and had no signs of premature birth. But on the day the ice was delivered, there was an accident."
"And everyone present said that everyone felt a little sleepy that day. If this woman had no strength when she gave birth...something would naturally happen." Mei Bin said meaningfully.
Yun Wanyue grabbed Mei Bin's hand and said, "This matter is of great importance. You must not tell others about it."
Mei Bin nodded: "I was also investigating this matter for you. If you don't want it to be spread, I naturally won't tell it."
Yun Wanyue said: "You are taking a huge risk by investigating this matter for me. If it spreads from you, it will definitely cause trouble."
"Don't worry, even if one day I want to tell this matter, I will hide it from you so that no one will know that it was you who investigated it." Yun Wanyue promised.
Mei Bin smiled bitterly: "You gave me my life. What's the point of doing something for you and taking some risks?"
Yun Wanyue shook her head and said: "You regard me as a friend, and I also regard you as a friend. Naturally, it is impossible for me to do anything to implicate you."
