Yuan Hesong couldn't help but take a step forward, "Are you the cousin of the Yang family?"

Wen Yan nodded slightly and saluted.

I didn't expect that so many people knew that the Yang family had brought her to the capital. It seemed that the Yang family was indeed in decline and there was no one who could do anything, otherwise they would not have made their plans known to the whole world.

Wen Yan looked at the familiar faces in front of her and couldn't help complaining in her heart that everyone who came today was an acquaintance.

In front of so many people, Yuan Hesong did not go too far after all. He just restrained himself and looked at Wen Yan a few more times, then took his seat.

Ordinary people might not have noticed Yuan Hesong's mood swings, but Yuan Xin had been fighting with Yuan Hesong for so long that he knew everything Yuan Hesong said and did, so he naturally noticed the difference in the way his brother, the prince, treated this cousin.

Yuan Xin glanced at Wen Yan, then took his seat.

Yang Li, who originally thought that Princess Zhaoyang would embarrass Wen Yan, was stunned. Just let her pass by so lightly?

She stared at Zhaoyang for a while, and finally guessed that it was because the Crown Prince and the King of Chu had come, and she needed to restrain herself. Yang Li, who thought she had guessed the correct answer, looked at Wen Yan resentfully. This person was really lucky.

Zhaoyang held Wan Gaofeng's hand tightly. Although he pretended not to care, he still felt an inexplicable fear. "Is it really her?"

Wan Gaofeng nodded grimly, "It's her."

"Why is this person haunting us? We sent so many assassins, but none of them succeeded. And now he has transformed himself into the Yang family's cousin?"

Zhaoyang was really scared. Although she was powerful, there was no one she couldn't kill in the past. This was the first time someone as difficult to kill as Wen Yan.

And that face, it's really weird.

Wan Gaofeng looked at Wen Yan's profile and felt dazed.

He hadn't seen her for many years... Why did she look younger and younger? It was like the first time they met, even more mature and calm than when they first met.

There were turbulent waves at the banquet. Many people were interested in Wen Yan, but no one dared to make a move.

When the time was almost right, Zhaoyang couldn't stay any longer and left with Wan Gaofeng.

Yuan Xin also came over. His imperial sister had never been able to keep secrets from her since she was a child. "What's wrong? Why are you so uneasy?"

Zhao Yang asked everyone in the inner hall to leave. "Brother... do you remember the woman that the Yang family sent before, and the child she gave birth to? Do you remember?"

Yuan Xin naturally remembered: "Why are you suddenly mentioning her? Didn't she fall into the lotus pond and drown?"

Zhao Yang nodded, his lips turning pale as he said, "Wen Yan's face looks almost exactly like that woman's. They are about 70% similar."

"Seven or eight points?" Yuan Xin raised an eyebrow. "Since they are all from the Yang family, it is reasonable for them to be similar. You don't have to be so scared."

"That's right, but what if this Wen Yan is Wan Gaofeng's ex-wife?"

Now it was Yuan Xin's turn to be surprised. In other words, Wan Gaofeng's original wife was actually Yang's cousin?

This is really messy.

If I had known... I shouldn't have agreed to them being together.

Wan Gaofeng didn't dare to say a word at this moment, for fear that he would not be able to survive the day after saying anything.

The little bit of romantic thoughts about Wen Yan in his heart had disappeared, replaced by a strong murderous intent.

"I'm more concerned about why the Yang family brought her back." Yuan Xin walked to the table and took a sip of tea, chuckling, "The Yang family's intentions are really obvious, but I don't know who they are eyeing this time? The prince? After all, the emperor's health has deteriorated so much that it looks like he won't live for many years."

Outside the palace, after Princess Zhaoyang left, many people also left one after another.

Yang Li didn't want to pay any attention to Wen Yan in the first place, and now she turned around and left without paying any attention to Wen Yan at all.

Aunt Liu said awkwardly, "Madam Wen, don't be angry. This is the character of the Second Miss."

Wen Yan didn't care. It was getting late. Since the banquet was over, it was time for her to leave.

It's just a pity. I thought these people would have some big reaction when they saw her, but they just kept silent? Or were they waiting to take action in private?

Only after the crowd dispersed did Peng Luoyun dare to come look for Wen Yan.

She pulled Wen Yan to a secluded place and patted her chest with lingering fear: "I didn't expect that the prince would also come to the Spring Banquet... Sister, you have to be careful of the prince. When Xiang Yun was in his hands before, I felt that the prince's attitude towards her was not right. You and Xiang Yun look so similar, you have to be careful."

Wen Yan nodded. It wasn’t just the prince that she needed to be careful of.

At this moment, a man who looked like a guard came over and said, "Madam Wen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see you."

Peng Luoyun looked worried and asked the guard, "Can you tell me why, Prince?"

The guard didn't answer.

Wen Yan patted Peng Luoyun's hand soothingly: "It's okay, I'll be back soon."

Peng Luoyun hesitated for a moment, but decided to go along.

The place where the prince asked Wen Yan to meet was beside the pond in the princess's mansion. There was clear water, willow trees, and a gentle breeze. The prince was sitting in the pavilion, pouring tea in his hands.

Wen Yan walked over slowly, "Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Yuan Hesong pointed to the seat in front of him and said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Neither of them spoke for a while. Yuan Hesong looked at Wen Yan's face, feeling dazed, as if her Yun'er had never left.

If the two people didn't look slightly different, he would have really thought that the person sitting in front of him was Yun'er.

But she wasn't after all.

Yuan Hesong lowered his eyes and said sadly, "I have an old friend who looks a lot like you."

"Really?" Wen Yan chuckled, "It seems that the prince has a close relationship with this old friend."

I don’t know if it’s because the weather today is too warm, or because the person in front of me is so suitable for listening, Yuan Hesong felt a strong desire to talk.

He and Yun'er's story is something he never tires of telling.

But where to begin?

The wind blew ripples in the pond beside him. Yuan Hesong smiled and said, "It all started when I rescued Yun'er by the pond."

What Yuan Hesong said was similar to what Xiangyun said, but in his version, Xiangyun's refusal was not very obvious, which gave Yuan Hesong a lot of room for imagination.

Wen Yan listened casually, and when he finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she had always thought that Xiangyun was the emperor's child for so long, but what if Xiangyun was not the emperor's child at all?

Originally, she thought that the prince liked Xiangyun because he was a psychopath, but if Xiangyun was not the emperor's child at all...then wouldn't Xiangyun be her biological sister with the same father and mother?

After Yuan Hesong finished speaking, he looked at Wen Yan and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Madam Wen."

"No, the Crown Prince is deeply in love with her." Wen Yan lowered her eyes and said what she had been holding back for a long time, "But why didn't you help the Crown Princess when she suppressed Yun'er? Instead, you just stood by and watched coldly?"

Yuan Hesong was stunned, his eyes dodged for a moment: "I am the crown prince, there are things I need to consider the overall situation."

Wen Yan smiled, and then asked, "Then may I ask, Prince, Yun'er has done so much to repay you for saving her life, but what has she gained from you?"

Yuan Hesong was speechless.

What did Yun'er get?

Wen Yan decided to take a risky move. She said, "Your Highness, if the prince treated me like this, I would never fall in love with you. I think Yun'er would be the same."

After saying that, Wen Yan turned and left, leaving Yuan Hesong standing there in a daze.
