Hong Wen had already learned of Ye Hui’s identity and dared not disobey, carefully recounting the events after returning home.
“As a man reduced to this state, what’s the point of living?”
Hong Wen began to cry, not wanting this life, but after years in the brothel, he knew nothing except singing and entertaining clients.
Ye Hui felt disgusted and didn’t want to look anymore, ordering someone to take him away.
Qin Yuhang walked to the carriage and said to his wife, “My dear, I know you want to show kindness, but as the Crown Princess, it wouldn’t be appropriate to be too involved. Even if Hong Wen is good-hearted, he’s from that kind of place. Just arrange a place for him to stay, but don’t bring him to the capital.”
Ye Hui laughed, “I won’t make things difficult for myself. I’ll arrange for him to stay at Tianying Mountain and have Uncle Qing Tian take care of him.” She had initially thought of leaving him in the Prince’s Palace, but the eunuchs there were too observant, and they might even cook him for a meal.

They had wandered around the Ping Zhou area, and with no urgent matters, they returned leisurely, sometimes stopping for two or three days to enjoy the scenery. Fortunately, the weather was not too cold.
Ye Hui’s carriage, though not as grand as the one used by Emperor Wu of Han that could seat thirty-six people, was still spacious and luxurious. Thick brocade cushions lined the floor, and a small purple sandalwood table was placed beneath a side window. They could sit, lie, or recline in the carriage, occasionally engaging in exciting three-way, four-way, or five-way games with her husbands.
Sometimes she felt sorry for her two husbands in the capital, as Ying Tang’s rules were strict, unlike ancient China where men could take women whenever they wanted. It was all due to the gender imbalance, and the male-dominated world was futile.
They returned to Tianying Mountain after more than ten days, with five hundred imperial guards setting up camp in the valley, with supplies regularly transported.
