“Ye Binghuai, I know  everything  you have done these past few years. Don’t try and back me into a corner.”

Ye Binghuai closed his eyes in frustration.  What was I thinking when I married this crazy woman?

“Do you think that I want to do this? Either we do this or you go back to your mother’s home for a while and lay low!” Ye Binghuai reasoned.

Ye Ning huffed in distaste. “I will not hide and cower like a dog, Binghuai. Get that idea out of your head!”

The following day, Xia Chunyu came to pick up Ye Jiayao. They both stayed silent the whole ride, their nervousness almost palpable. Xia Chunyu just held on tightly to her hand, trying to give her comfort.

Ye Jiayao looked over to the palace wall, hoping that this would be the last time she would need to go here.

When they arrived at the Zi Chen Palace, she noted the two Helian brothers, Zhao Qixuan, Chunfeng, and Susu waiting outside the hall. There was also an elderly man next to Xia Chunfeng that looked a lot like Chunyu.

“Why are they all here?” Ye Jiayao whispered to Chunyu.

Xia Chunyu looked at her, not understanding her surprise. “What do you mean? They came for you.”

They came for me? Ye Jiayao’s eyes stung with unshed tears. Her friends might not be perfect, but they do love her.

Zhao Qixuan looked Ye Jiayao up and down, puzzled. “Why can’t I see it?”

Helian Jing didn’t want to be here at all. He was just afraid that Yaoyao wouldn’t be able to handle all the stress, so against his better judgment, he went, dragging Zhao Qixuan and Su Yi with him.

Xia Zhuofeng observed Ye Jiayao silently.  So this is Lady Ye?  A privileged woman who dressed up as a man and made her living through cooking? That was beyond impressive. Even when Chunyu told him all about this situation last night, he couldn’t really believe it.

“If everyone’s here, let’s go in,” Xia Zhuofeng called out. This was such a delicate situation that every move they make should be calculated correctly. Chunyu and Lady Ye  lied  outright to the Emperor – that’s not a crime that His Majesty would just wave away.

Helian Xuan turned to Helian Jing and the others and said, “You all can wait here.”

Ye Jiayao followed Xia Chunyu and walked inside the Zi Chen Palace.

As Eunuch Wei led them into the house, he said, “The Emperor is not in a good mood today.”

Xia Chunyu glanced at Helian Xuan.

Helian Xuan shrugged helplessly.

Ye Jiayao tugged on Chunyu’s sleeves. “Can’t we just come back another day?

Chunyu shook his head. They needed to get this over with. They’ve been battling with this secret for far too long, he was tired of it.

“Chunyu, you said that you have found Miss Ye? Where is she?” the Emperor asked, his face harshly stoic. His dark mood was not just because of their military disadvantage but also because of this whole Miss Ye situation. He could not believe that Xia Chunyu managed to find her this quickly. He felt as if though he was somehow being tricked.

Xia Chunyu kneeled and kowtowed on the ground. “Your Majesty, she’s here – the Mobile Imperial Chef, Li Yao.”

Ye Jiayao nervously stepped forward and kowtowed. “I am Ye Jinxuan, Your Majesty.”
