"You, are you going back to Yingzhou? If you were leaving, couldn't you tell me? Why did you leave without saying goodbye!"

Yunhua saw her crying and was a little flustered, "You, don't cry... I'm not leaving..."

Yuan Ying cried even louder, "You're lying! Since that day you entered the palace, you never came to see me again. Did you know that I was going to be married to Prince Yu, so you wanted to draw a clear line between you and me..."

Yunhua finally realized that she didn't know her identity yet...

He pulled Yuan Ying over and stood in front of his parents. "Dad, Mom, this is the girl I told you about. Her name is Yuan Ying. That day, I was chased all the way and was seriously injured. I hid in Qingguang Temple outside the city. It was she who saved me..."

Seeing the presence of elders, Yuan Ying quickly wiped away her tears and bowed slightly, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie. I'm sorry for being so rude..."

Captain Yun and Doctor Yu liked the girl as soon as they saw her.

I heard from Yunhua before that she came from a prominent family and her father was the governor-general of the Jiuzhou Grain Transport Administration, a second-rank official.

Even without knowing Yunhua's true identity, she was able to take good care of him, which shows that she is not a vain girl.

There were many things they couldn't say now. After all, Yunhua was now a legitimate prince. They, as his former parents, would cast a shadow on his bright future life, so it would be better for them to leave as soon as possible.

After a farewell, the two elders boarded the carriage back to Yingzhou. Yunhua specifically requested Emperor Jianning to send someone to escort them. After all, they were elderly people and needed someone to take care of them along the way.

Watching the carriage go away, Yun Ha hurriedly took off his cloak and put it on Yuan Ying, "It's windy outside the city, let's get on the carriage first..."

Yuan Ying was still wondering why he didn't leave, but the city gate was crowded with people coming and going, so it was definitely not a place to talk. So, Yun Hua helped her get on the carriage.

Seeing that there was nothing left for him to do, Ah Shang mounted his horse, took the reins of the other horse in his hand, and returned to the city.

Yuan Ying just wanted to see someone, so she drove fast all the way and didn't feel how cold it was. But now, she was so cold that her teeth were chattering.

Yunhua sat closer and wanted to hug her, but Yuanying refused and kept her distance from him.

Yunhua was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Ying was very sad and lowered her head. "I, I just received the imperial decree granting me marriage. I am going to marry Prince Yu. I cannot be so close to you, otherwise, it will hurt you..."

Yun Hua ignored her refusal and held her tightly in his arms, "Blame me, blame me for not having enough time to explain it to you clearly..."

Yuan Ying raised her head, her eyes blurred with tears, "Why didn't you go back to Yingzhou with your parents?"

Yunhua pinched her face and said, "How come you are such a smart person, so how come you have become so confused?"

There was a flash of lightning in Yuan Ying's mind. Suddenly, she blinked her eyes and said, "You, you are Prince Yu?!"

Yunhua nodded and gave her a positive answer.

"I heard from my uncle that it was Prince Yong who switched me with his own child. Prince Chong was his child. He had been plotting to seize the throne for many years, thinking that if he didn't have the chance to rebel, he would support his own son to take the throne. Unfortunately, his scheme was discovered by my father and uncle, and they eliminated him and his son in one fell swoop... Your sister knows the inside story. When she was in Qingguang Temple, she saw that I looked similar to Empress Xian, so she brought me back to Prince Ling's mansion. Coincidentally, I was going to find Prince Ling to report the matter of Yingzhou, so it was a coincidence..."

The shadow of Yuanying's plan to marry someone else was finally cleared up at this moment.

She burst into laughter and said, "Sister Yan is really something. She refuses to reveal any news to me..."

However, since it concerns the imperial court and the royal heir, she cannot talk about it everywhere. She was not complaining that Mu Qingyan was intentionally concealing it, she just said it casually.

After speaking out her worries, Yuan Ying felt a little embarrassed.

After all, although both of them had that intention before, Yunhua, from this moment on, his name is Junhan, he is His Majesty's prince, the officially canonized Prince Yu.

Jun Han has never taken the initiative to say that he is interested in me, so is my behavior today too frivolous in his eyes?

She raised her head with some concern.

Jun Han seemed to see through her thoughts. "At first, I felt that I was not worthy of you with my status, so I didn't dare to reveal my feelings... Later, when I learned that I was a prince, my first reaction was that I could finally marry you... With the status of a prince, there should be no obstacles between you and me... So, after my father issued an edict to confer the title, the first thing I did was to ask him to grant us marriage. But I didn't tell you in advance, and I made you sad. I'm sorry..."

Yuan Ying smiled and shook her head, "No need to say sorry... I, I'm not sorry because of your identity... It's just because of you..."

He followed Yuan Ying to Gu's house.

General Gu and Gu Qingsu had both met this Prince Yu, but the rest of the Gu family had not. Now that the matter was clear and Prince Yong and Prince Chong had been executed, Mu Qingyan briefly told the story of Prince Yu and also talked about Yuan Ying's encounter with him.

Only then did Mrs. Yuan feel relieved.

Her daughter knows herself well. If she were to marry a man she doesn't like, it would make her more sad than killing her.

I accepted the imperial order today only because disobeying it would bring trouble to my family.

"What about his character?" This is what Old Madam Gu cares about most. Identity and family background are secondary. The most important thing is character.

Mu Qingyan smiled and said, "Grandma, Sister Ying is a very opinionated woman. She has her own judgment. If the person has bad character, will she still like him?"

Madam Yuan quickly agreed, "That's right, Ying'er is really good at judging people. In Huaiyang, many people who wanted to marry into our family were exposed and dismissed by her one by one."

When talking about her daughter, Mrs. Yuan's face was full of pride.

Her two children have never made her worry. Instead, she, as a mother, is the one who always makes her children worry. It's really shameful.

While everyone was talking in the flower hall, the doorman came to report that Prince Yu was here to visit.

Just as Madam Gu was about to take people out to greet them, someone came in.

Jun Han was very humble. He had been planning to pay a visit today, so he had prepared generous gifts in the carriage and ordered someone to deliver them.

After greeting the elders one by one, he said, "Today is the first time I have come to visit you. If there are any improprieties in my manners, I hope you will forgive me."

He was dressed simply and didn't look like a prince.

But that innate nobility cannot be ignored.

General Gu and his men have gone to the military camp and are not in the mansion.

The old lady smiled and said, "Your Highness Prince Yu is too polite. You are a prince, and we were not able to welcome you. It is our fault. Your Highness, please forgive us..."
