Chapter 248 Do You Really Think Gu Yan Loves You?
Yun Xiangye went to the Wuse Embroidery Workshop, checked the account books, and instructed the embroiderers to finish the clothes on time, and then returned to the Princess's Mansion.
Before entering the Princess's Mansion, I heard the painful sound of Yan kneeling on the ground.
Yan knelt outside the Princess's residence and kowtowed, saying, "Aunt, please save the Wei family! The Wei family cannot be extinct in my generation. Please save Wei Qian and Wei Xi, so that the Wei family can at least have a successor."
Yun Xiangye looked at Yan who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, and couldn't help but shake her head. There must be something hateful about every pitiful person.
If it was Wei Xi who succeeded this time, how could Yan let go of the Princess's Mansion?
Yun Xiangye entered the Princess's Mansion and heard Gu Jingyu's voice, "Grandmother, ignore her. She forgot when her daughter led the troops to surround our Princess's Mansion. If we fall into her hands, she will not leave a single bloodline in our Gu family. Wei Xi even dared to attack the Crown Prince. We must not keep Wei Xi alive."
Madam Gu sighed and said, "I won't pay any attention to her, don't worry."
"Grandma, sister."
"Sister-in-law." Gu Jingyu smiled at Yun Xiangye and said, "I was away from home a few days ago, and you suffered a lot. Is your foot injury healed?"
Yun Xiangye smiled and said, "It's gotten much better now. I can get out of bed now."
Gu Jingyu said: "That's good."

In Fengyi Palace.
Queen Wei lowered her eyes to look at Wei Zhan who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Do you really want to hand over the title of Duke of Wei and the red seal to save the lives of Wei Xi and Wei Qian?"
Wei Zhan knelt on the ground and said, "I have failed in educating my son and daughter, and I am no longer worthy of being the Duke of Dasheng. I am willing to give up the title of Duke and the red seal of honor bestowed by Emperor Taizu, just to save the lives of these two brothers and sisters."
Queen Wei said: "Wei Zhan, you must know that the crimes committed by Wei Xi and Wei Qian are punishable by the death of all nine generations of their clans. His Majesty and Yun'er did not seek revenge on you because they saw that you were also poisoned. If you hand over the position of Duke of Guo, the glory of our Wei family for generations will be destroyed today..."
Wei Zhan sighed and said, "Sister, my mother threatened to die and insisted on leaving an heir to the Wei family, so I had no choice but to obey."
Queen Wei thought of her mother who had been ill for a long time and whom she had not seen for more than ten years. When she had a difficult birth, she brought a girl from the Wei family's side branch to her delivery room...
Queen Wei said, "Adopt a son with good character from a branch family. The achievements of the Wei family were won by our ancestors at the cost of their lives, and they were also the wealth and honor that my aunt gave up everything and entered the palace for many years to protect. I will never allow you to destroy the Duke's Mansion!"
Wei Zhan said: "Sister, I can't watch mother die because of this."
Queen Wei said: "I watched these two children, Wei Xi and Wei Qian, grow up, but they must pay the price for what they have done."
"elder sister……"
"Mother." Queen Wei looked at Zhao Yun who had entered, and the child in Ye Wanhe's arms.
Queen Wei walked up to Ye Wanhe and said, "Yu'er."
Zhao Yun looked at the Duke of Wei who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Uncle, the imperial seal cannot guarantee the death penalty for treason. Not depriving you of your title of Duke is already a favor from our father."
Upon hearing this, Duke Wei sighed and said, "Your Highness."
Zhao Yun said, "Wei Xi and Wei Qian have been sentenced to death and will never be pardoned! If you are willing, you can adopt a child from a branch family. If not, the position of Duke of Wei will end with you. The imperial seal and iron certificate cannot protect you from the crime of treason."
"Since they are children of the Wei family, I can only give them a cup of poisoned wine to send them off. Uncle, please go and visit them for the last time."
Duke Wei sighed heavily.

Yun Xiangye was packing her luggage for the trip to Yongxing City in the Princess's Mansion. This trip back to Yongxing City would probably be one of the few times in her life.
"Princess, thank you for coming to see you."
Yun Xiangye got up and went to look for Xie Shian. She was curious about why Xie Shian came to see her.
Yun Xiangye walked outside and said to Xie Shian, who was wearing an official uniform, "Cousin Shian, is there anything I can do for you?"
Xie Shian said, "Cousin, I came to see you today because Wei Xi said her last wish was to see you."
Yun Xiangye raised an eyebrow and said, "Wei Xi wants to see me?"
Xie Shian nodded and said, "If you don't want to see her dying person, that's fine."
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly and said, "No problem, I'll go see her."
Yun Xiangye followed Xie Shian to the Heavenly Prison.
The prison here is used to detain officials, so it is quite spacious. However, it is dark and damp inside because it cannot see the sun.
Yun Xiangye followed Xie Shian to the innermost prison and saw Wei Xi with disheveled hair. She was dirty and smelly as she had not bathed for half a month. She did not look like the noble lady she used to be.
When Wei Xi saw Yun Xiangye coming, he looked at her solemnly and said, "Yun Xiangye!"
Yun Xiangye saw Wei Xi and asked, "Is your last wish to see me for the last time?"
Wei Xi clenched his fists and said, "Yun Xiangye, when a man is about to die, his words are kind. Your Highness has already given me poisoned wine, and I know I won't live long..."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly and looked at Wei Xi. She could not sense any kind words from Wei Xi's eyes. Wei Xi said slowly: "Yun Xiangye, do you really think Gu Yan loves you? Gu Yan just wanted to marry you because you are a lucky charm. He cannot divorce you because if he divorces you, he will be immoral."
Yun Xiangye looked at Wei Xi and said, "You are about to be given poisoned wine and die. There is no need to say these meaningless words."
Wei Xi said: "Don't you believe it?"
Yun Xiangye smiled and said, "Whether Gu Yan loves me or not, I can feel it myself. I don't need you to tell me."
Wei Xi said: "If you don't believe it, you can go to the Gu family's villa in Luoyang and take a look. After the four maids Lian Yi and Lan Yi who grew up with Gu Yan offended you, he didn't drive them away. He settled them in Luoyang City because Gu Yan had a special relationship with them..."
Yun Xiangye looked at Wei Xi and smiled sarcastically.
Wei Xi said: "Yun Xiangye, don't you believe it? I'm almost dead, why would I lie to you? Just go to the Gu family's villa in Luoyang and take a look!"
"Isn't your sister a palace maid who became the Crown Princess? You should know that Lian Yi and Lan Yi have always been closely following Gu Yan."
"How could Gu Yan be willing to drive them away for you?"
Yun Xiangye listened to Wei Xi's anxious tone, smiled faintly and said, "I almost forgot about it, but you still remembered it. I have been to the Gu Family Villa in Luoyang a long time ago, and Gu Yan and I also knew that it was you who arranged for them to stay in the Gu Family Villa."
Wei Xi was stunned. She reached out like crazy and tried to grab Yun Xiangye's hair. "Yun Xiangye, you bitch!"
Yun Xiangye took two steps back and said, "Wei Xi, you are a noble lady who grew up in Chang'an City. You are proud of your background, but you did something that is inconsistent with your status. It's really... Alas!"
Yun Xiangye sighed deeply.
"Yun Xiangye! Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you have your way!" Wei Xi said, "It would be better if you were not here. You took away everything from me..."
"I'm not afraid of you being alive, so why should I be afraid of you becoming a ghost?"
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly, "If there really are ghosts in this world, then I would have my parents, grandparents, and grandparents to protect me. But you, since I first came to Chang'an, you have targeted me time and time again, and I have ignored you time and time again. Now you are trying to plot against me before you die. My parents will help me teach you a lesson in the underworld!"
Yun Xiangye turned and left the cell. She looked at Xie Shian at the door and said, "I have seen her for the last time."
Xie Shian nodded slightly, took a cup of poisoned wine and went in to send Wei Xi off.
When Yun Xiangye left, he heard the shouts of Wei Zhan and Yan Shi coming from the cell.
Yun Xiangye touched her lower abdomen, walked out of the cell, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside. She missed Gu Yan again.

May 15th.
The big ship set off for Yongxing City.
There were more than ten ships traveling to Yongxing City this time. After all, the event involved marrying the Crown Princess, so the ceremony would not be small.
As the prince's elders, Xie Zhixuan and the King and Queen of Chu went to Jiangnan to welcome the bride, so Yun Xiangye stayed on the boat of the Princess's Mansion.
Yun Xiangye was on the deck, looking towards the southeast, hoping to return to Yongxing City soon...
Chen Qing walked to Yun Xiangye's side and asked, "Are you thinking about Gu Yan or Shuang Bai?"
Yun Xiangye smiled at Chen Qing and said, "I miss home, but I also feel that after returning home this time, I may never come back again in this long life."
Chen Qing smiled and said, "Then take a closer look during this period of time."
