Chapter 199 Entering the Palace to Apologize
Yun Xiangye didn't dare to look into Gu Yan's eyes and whispered, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed not dead. He took a drug that caused him to fake his death..."
Gu Yan tightly grasped Yun Xiangye's shoulders and said, "Xiangye, this is not a joke."
Yun Xiangye whispered, "How could I joke about this matter? His Highness is not dead. He was just given a fake death drug by my sister..."
Gu Yan frowned and asked, "Then where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now? Is he still in the mausoleum? Can the fake death drug last for so long?"
Yun Xiangye shook her head and said, "After the Crown Prince was buried, my sister took him out of the mausoleum, poisoned him and made him mute, and then sold him to a human trafficker from another place to be a slave. We don't know where the Crown Prince is now."
Gu Yan looked into Yun Xiangye's eyes and said, "Why didn't you keep this important matter a secret from me forever?"
Yun Xiangye whispered, "I want to keep it a secret from you forever. After all, it concerns my sister's life. But...what my sister said today makes sense. I hate you hiding it from me, but I can't hide it from you..."
Gu Yan was very annoyed and said, "It has come to this, you might as well keep it a secret from me forever!
Yun Xiangye! When you were involved in this matter, did you ever think of me? Did you ever think of our Gu family?
Once this matter is exposed, even if my mother is Her Royal Highness the Princess, she won't be able to protect you and me!"
Seeing Gu Yan angry, Yun Xiangye said, "If you are afraid that I will implicate you, then divorce me. My sister and I will take responsibility for our actions and will not implicate you."
Gu Yan was even more angry: "Why don't you try to mention divorce again?"
Yun Xiangye said in a low voice with guilt: "Gu Yan, then you should divorce me, so that I won't be implicated in your Gu family... But I can't help but stand on my sister's side."
When Gu Yan heard the word "rest", he said coldly: "Shut up!"
After saying that, Gu Yan took the cloak beside him, put it on and was about to go out. The door was closed heavily.
Yun Xiangye saw the closed door and sighed softly. No matter how you look at it, she was the one who was sorry for Gu Yan.
The door was opened again. Gu Yan walked in angrily and held Yun Xiangye's hand tightly, saying, "Come with me to see my parents."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and asked, "Are you going to tell your parents about this?"
Gu Yan said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is my mother's nephew, who was born by her own hand. Do you know how sad my mother was after His Highness passed away? I must tell my mother about this so that she won't be sad anymore."
Yun Xiangye asked: "But what about my sister?"
"You still want to protect your sister?" Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "In your eyes, my and Nuonuo's lives are not as important as your sister He's?"
Yun Xiangye said: "No, you and Nuonuo are naturally more important than my sister, but it was the Crown Prince who first forced my sister, and my sister is just giving him a taste of his own medicine..."
"Give someone a taste of their own medicine?" Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's hand tightly and said, "The Crown Prince wanted your sister to be the Crown Princess, but your sister? She wanted the Crown Prince to be a mute slave."
Yun Xiangye said: "But the position of Crown Princess was not what my sister wanted. It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who coerced her into taking the position."
Gu Yan was speechless for a moment, and after a while he said, "Come with me to see my parents first, and we will discuss this matter together. The most important thing is to save the lives of our Gu family."
Gu Yan and Yun Xiangye hurried to the main courtyard, but were stopped by the guards before they entered.
Gu Yan said to the guard, "I have something important to discuss with my father."
Gu Yan ignored the guards' attempts to stop him and walked into the house holding Yun Xiangye's hand. When he entered the house, he saw his parents playing chess.
Gu Ling looked at Gu Yan and Yun Xiangye unhappily and asked, "It's so late, what are you doing here?"
Gu Yanping dismissed the servants beside him, and then said to Gu Ling and Xie Zhixuan: "Dad, Mom, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not dead!"
Xie Zhixuan raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yan, "What did you say? Yun'er is not dead? How is that possible? I saw his corpse with my own eyes..."
Gu Yan said: "Didn't you give me three fake death pills before? I gave them all to the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess gave the fake death pills to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Gu Ling put down the chess piece in his hand, looked at Gu Yan and Yun Xiangye with sharp eyes and said, "You really think we have too many Danshu Tiequan, don't you?"
Yun Xiangye didn't dare to look at Gu Ling's eyes and lowered her head.
Gu Yan whispered, "I didn't expect the Crown Princess to be so cruel and ruthless as to do such a thing."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly when she heard the cruel and ruthless words, but she did not argue.
Xie Zhixuan looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Since Yun'er took the fake death drug and is not dead, then where did Yun'er go?"
Gu Yan said: "He was sold by the Crown Princess to a black market trafficker and taken to another place where he disappeared without a trace. I just want to use our Gu family's secret guards to secretly track down the Crown Prince and make up for my mistake."
Gu Ling stood up to get his cloak and said, "We have to tell His Majesty and His Majesty first. His Majesty was deeply hurt by the early death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If we tell them this, they will still have hope."
Gu Yan glanced at Yun Xiangye and said, "No, if we tell His Majesty now, the Crown Princess will definitely die, and our Gu family may also be suspected by His Majesty."
Gu Ling said: "Do you think you won't be suspected if you don't tell me? Every trace is left behind. If His Majesty finds out about this, there will be no chance for you to make amends."
Gu Yan stopped Gu Ling and said, "Dad, if you tell His Majesty and the Queen about this now, the Crown Princess will definitely lose her life..."
Gu Ling glared at Gu Yan and said, "Before we find the crown prince, your majesty now only has the royal grandson as his bloodline. The reputation of the royal grandson's birth mother must not be damaged in the slightest. The royal grandson is young and cannot be separated from his mother for the time being. The crown princess will only be imprisoned, but her life will not be in danger. You should all follow me to the palace to plead guilty."
Gu Yan glanced at Yun Xiangye and seeing that there was nothing unexpected on her expression, he rushed to the palace first.
Gu Yan and Yun Xiangye rode on the same horse to the palace.
On the way, Gu Yan whispered to Yun Xiangye, "My father is going to the palace to marry Crown Princess Gaofa, and you don't seem to be worried about the Crown Princess at all..."
Yun Xiangye didn't dare to hide it from Gu Yan anymore, and whispered, "Sister still has two fake death pills left."
Gu Yan gripped the reins tightly and asked, "She is still willing to give up her position as the Crown Princess, who is second only to the emperor and above everyone else?"
"Sister has never thought about being Wei Zhenzhu. She wants to be Ye Wanhe again rather than the position of Crown Princess."
Gu Yan said in a muffled voice: "How dare you hide such an important matter from me? I will settle the score with you after we return to Qingfeng Garden!"
Yun Xiangye whispered, "Why wait until we get back to Qingfeng Garden? Why don't you give me a divorce letter before entering the palace? That way you won't be implicated. Besides, our marriage doesn't count. Just insist that we are not husband and wife."
Gu Yan said: "If you mention the word 'break' again, I will come to settle the score with you, and your begging for mercy will be useless!"
Yun Xiangye: “…”
When they arrived at the palace, it was already dark and the palace gates were about to be locked. They rushed to Fengyi Palace before the gates were locked.
In Fengyi Palace, Yun Xiangye had not seen Queen Wei for a long time. She had lost a lot of weight, which showed how painful it was for her to lose her son.
Yun Xiangye followed Gu Yan in paying respects.
The half-white-haired emperor looked at the four people in front of him and said, "It's getting late. What are you doing in the palace?"
Gu Ling looked around at the palace maids and eunuchs on both sides and said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
His Majesty ordered all the palace servants to leave and looked at Gu Ling and asked, "What's the important matter?"
Gu Ling said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not dead."
Queen Wei's eyes were broken when she heard Gu Ling's words. She looked up at Gu Ling and said, "What did you say? Yun'er is not dead? Is Yun'er really not dead? Is he really not dead?"
Xie Zhixuan said: "Yes, Yun'er is not dead, he is still alive, he just took a fake death drug."
