How did the emperor manage to get Wanwan to risk her life for him like that?

It wasn't until he saw him abandon all matters of state and search everywhere for an antidote that he finally understood.

I finally felt relieved.

Now, when he sees Wen Shuyi again, he feels no emotion.

Seeing that he remained silent, Wen Shu decided to get straight to the point.

"My father is imprisoned in the imperial prison and hasn't been released yet. Can you help me plead with the Emperor on his behalf?"

The appetite of the Ninth Prince Liu Jin is too great.

Even after the family sold all their possessions to give as gifts, he still felt it wasn't enough and refused to release the man.

"I'll mention it when I meet the Emperor next time," Gu Ziyu said, carefully choosing his words.

"But don't get your hopes up too high. The Empress is in poor health, and you harmed her last time. I'm afraid that with the old and new grudges combined, the Emperor might not be willing to give in."

Wen Shuyi took two steps forward urgently: "Can't you go and plead for me now?"

"I've been longing for your return day and night..."

Gu Ziyu's heart softened a little.

Wen Shuyi's face was streaked with tears. "There's really no one else I can rely on. I can only ask you to help my father, okay?"

Gu Ziyu nodded: "Alright, I'll go to the palace."

Wen Shuyi was stunned for a moment.

I didn't expect Gu Ziyu to be so easy to talk to.

She thought he hated her and wouldn't budge.

She glanced at the dimming sky, a little conflicted: "Should we go tomorrow?"

Gu Ziyu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."

He actually wanted to go to the palace to see if Su Wanwan's condition had improved.

But I also worry that excessive concern might lead to unnecessary suspicion, which would be bad for everyone.

A part of Wen Shuyi's heart that had died inside her came back to life: "Should we go see the child?"
