Chapter 231: Will bring the Queen's position to Yun Xiangye
Gu Yan couldn't help but frown as he listened to Zhao Rui's words.
Xie Shian on the side sighed and said, "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such deep feelings for the Crown Princess."
Gu Yan said: "I will go with you to the East Palace to take a look."
Inside the East Palace.
Prince Zhao Jing of Chu looked at the skinny Crown Prince in front of him and said, "Your Highness, please accept my condolences. A woman who wants to kill you is not worth ruining your body for."
Zhao Yun frowned and looked at Zhao Jing. He remembered that when Zhao Jing was willing to die for Yun Xiangye, he once said, "Why bother doing that for a woman?"
But at that time he didn't expect that he would fall into such a situation.
Zhao Yun knew very well that he was the crown prince, holding the country in his hands and possessing power that was envied by everyone in the world.
But after Ye Wanhe was no longer in this world, he felt that the power of possessing the country and the people was not worth clinging to.
Zhao Jing whispered again, "Your Highness, there are rumors outside that the Crown Princess fed you poison under the instructions of the Gu family. You must take care of yourself now. You can't let the little grandson become a puppet emperor of the Gu family in the future."
Zhao Yun frowned and looked down at Zhao Jing.
Zhao Jing also said, "Your Highness, since Gu Yan gave the Crown Princess the drug to fake her death, you shouldn't just dismiss him from his position. You should punish Gu Yan and convict him of a serious crime to prevent the little grandson from being a puppet of the Gu family."
While Zhao Yun was thinking, Li Quan came in and said, "Your Highness, Prince Ning, thank you Sir, the Prince of Xiang County wants to see you."
Zhao Yun said: "Let them in."
Gu Yan entered the room. After only one day's absence, it seemed that Zhao Yun had a lot more white hair on his head and his complexion was extremely bad.
Zhao Jing frowned slightly when he saw Gu Yan come in.
Gu Yan didn't look at Zhao Jing, but walked to Zhao Yun and comforted him, "Your Highness, you should eat something. The Crown Princess would definitely not want you to torture yourself like this."
Zhao Yun said: "No, she hated me, she hated me so much, didn't she commit suicide just to torture me?"
Gu Yan said: "My sister's last wish before her death must be that you take good care of Yu'er. You should eat something, after all, Yu'er is too young."
After hearing Gu Yan's advice, Zhao Jing sneered and said, "Your Highness doesn't eat and can't take good care of the Crown Prince. Isn't that what you wish for?"
Gu Yan frowned and asked, "Zhao Jing, what did you say?"
Zhao Jing asked, "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come back to life? Wasn't it because you and the Crown Princess gave His Royal Highness the medicine?"
Gu Yan frowned and said, "I am doing the right thing in this matter."
Zhao Yun said angrily: "Don't come to the East Palace to make trouble, get out."
Zhao Jing bowed and left. Seeing Zhao Yun's weak appearance, Gu Yan was really worried, "Your Highness, please eat a little. If my sister in heaven sees you like this, she will definitely not feel good."
Zhao Yun sat weakly on the small couch, shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to eat, but I really can't eat anything..."
Seeing that Zhao Yun was dying, Gu Yan felt extremely upset.
Gu Yan really couldn't bear to watch Zhao Yun leave like this. He also didn't expect that Sister He faked her death and His Highness would not even care about his own life.
But at this moment, rumors were flying outside, and his sister's ship had not yet gone far. He could not tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that Sister He was still alive. He could only hope that His Royal Highness could hold on for the next few days.
"Yun'er."
Queen Wei and His Majesty entered.
Gu Yan saluted to His Majesty and the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, Queen."
Queen Wei looked at Gu Yan, Zhao Rui and Xie Shi'an in front of her, all of whom had black hair. Then she looked at Zhao Yun, who was of the same age as them and had half of his hair silver. She couldn't help feeling sad.
"Yun'er... please don't scare me, okay? I really can't bear to see someone die before me anymore."
Zhao Yun lay weakly on the small couch, holding the jade bracelet that Ye Wanhe had worn in his hand, "Mother, I'm sorry, I want to accompany Wanhe..."
Queen Wei couldn't help but said sadly: "Yun'er!"
Zhao Yun whispered, "Mother, after I leave, can you change Wan He's name back? She didn't want to be Wei Zhenzhu when she was alive. After she dies, let me and Wan He be husband and wife, okay?"
Queen Wei cried helplessly, "Yun'er, you can't leave. Your mother can't bear the pain of losing a child again."
Zhao Yun whispered, "Mother, but I really can't eat anything. I don't want to eat anything. Please forgive me for being unfilial..."
His Majesty frowned and supported the staggering Queen Wei. He held Queen Wei in his arms and said, "Don't worry. The imperial physician is here. He will not let Yun'er get into trouble. Even if he has to hang on for a breath, he will be kept alive. You go back to Fengyi Palace first and leave this to the imperial physician."
When Gu Yan saw this scene, he felt really sad. He just sighed deeply and returned to the Princess's Mansion.
In Qingfeng Courtyard, Yun Xiangye saw Gu Yan coming back with a worried look on his face and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Yan said: "His Highness is in a very bad state. If he continues to be so sad, I am afraid he will only live for a few days. Xiangye, if His Highness really can't survive, I can only tell him the truth."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly and said, "Okay, since he is so affectionate now, why did he hurt my sister like this before?"
Gu Yan sighed and said, "Perhaps only after losing something will one know how to cherish it."
Yun Xiangye also sighed: "By the way, I just went to the embroidery workshop, and even the embroiderers in the workshop were saying that the Gu family had teamed up with the Crown Princess to harm the Crown Prince. Will this rumor really have no impact on the Gu family?"
Gu Yan said, "It's spreading in the embroidery workshop? Then we have to find out who is spreading this rumor behind the scenes."
Inside Chujing Pavilion.
After being smashed and looted, Chu Jing Pavilion has not yet opened its doors to the public.
On the second floor, Zhao Jing walked upstairs, looked outside, and then closed the door.
Zhao Jing looked at the people sitting in the room and said, "I just learned today that the Crown Princess committed suicide. It was not because His Highness knew that the Crown Princess was trying to kill him and ordered her death. If you want to use this to deal with the Gu family, it will not be easy.
Your Highness is really confused. The Crown Princess colluded with the Gu family to harm him, and he even gave up his life for the Crown Princess. "
Wei Shao smiled faintly and said, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to die, then it will be a good thing for the Crown Prince."
Zhao Jing looked at Wei Shao in front of him, "What do you mean?"
Wei Shao chuckled and said, "Your Highness has passed away. The Crown Prince's biological mother was guilty of poisoning the crown prince. She is not fit to be the Crown Prince. Even if he is still the Crown Prince, what is there to fear about a little baby? Your Majesty is already old and may not be able to have another child. By then, won't the throne have to be chosen from among the princes of the Zhao family?"
Zhao Jing said: "You mean to let me ascend the throne? Wei Shao, you are so bold!"
This Wei Shao was the younger brother of Wei Jian, the governor of Lijiang. Zhao Jing became acquainted with Wei Shao when he came to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince last year. After a few interactions, they became good friends.
Zhao Jing didn't expect Wei Shao to have such a bold idea!
Wei Shao said, "Your Highness, think about it. It was you who met Yun Xiangye first. The little thief from the Gu family stole your woman. Not only did the Crown Prince protect the little thief from the Gu family, but he also wanted you to be the consort of Xiwan. This shows how much the Crown Prince and His Majesty despise you."
"Now, you are only one step away from the throne. My brother and I are willing to lead 100,000 soldiers from Lijiang to help you ascend the throne."
Zhao Jing frowned and said, "Stop talking nonsense!"
Wei Shao chuckled and said, "Sir, are you really willing to let Gu Yan snatch your woman away? Seeing how loving they are as a couple, and you, you can't even get close to Yun Xiangye?"
"Don't you want the high and mighty throne where you can make your beloved woman the queen? Do you want to see the Gu family really be able to hold power by using the little grandson as a puppet, and have to bow to Gu Yan for the rest of your life?"
Zhao Jing narrowed his eyes. He naturally wanted Yun Xiangye to be his wife. It was Yun Xiangye who was snatched away from him by Gu Yan.
Your Majesty and Your Highness have always favored Gu Yan. Now that Your Highness is dying, the mother of the Crown Prince has committed a serious crime, so it is understandable that he wants to seize the throne. Zhao Yun cannot blame him for wanting to seize the throne.
Zhao Jing thought that he was not coveting the throne, but wanted to prevent the Zhao family's throne from falling into the hands of the Gu family.
Zhao Jing frowned and looked at Wei Shao and asked, "Why are you helping me?"
Wei Shao said, "To be honest, my elder brother and I both hate Gu Ling, and we are loyal to the Zhao family. We naturally cannot stand the Gu family's attempt to override the imperial power. Moreover, we helped you ascend the throne because we wanted to be rewarded with a title of nobility and a chancellor."
Zhao Jing clenched his hands. If His Highness really lost his life, the throne would belong to him, Zhao Jing, and Yun Xiangye would also belong to him.
Zhao Jing fantasized that one day, he would bring the position of queen to Yun Xiangye. He wanted to make Gu Yan the most humble commoner and trample him under his feet to relieve the humiliation he had endured from Gu Yan since he was a child...
Why have all the good things always belonged to Gu Yan? Now it’s time for things to change.
