Gu Yan couldn't help but frown when he heard what Zhao Rui said.
Xie Shian, who was standing aside, sighed and said, "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be so deeply in love with the Crown Princess."
Gu Yan said: "I'll go with you to the East Palace to take a look."
Inside the East Palace.
Prince Zhao Jing of Chu looked at the emaciated Crown Prince standing before him and said, "Your Highness, please accept my condolences. A woman who harbors murderous intentions towards you is not worth ruining your health 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, Zhao Yun never thought 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 owning the country and the people was not worth clinging to.
Zhao Jing whispered again, "Your Highness, there are rumors out there that the Crown Princess fed you poison on the orders 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. You should punish Gu Yan severely and convict him of a serious crime, and stop the little prince from being a puppet of the Gu family."
While Zhao Yun was pondering, Li Quan entered and said, "Your Highness, Prince Ning, thank you, sir. The Prince of Xiang County requests an audience."
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. He just walked over to Zhao Yun and said comfortingly, "Your Highness, you should at least 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."
Zhao Jing sneered after hearing Gu Yan's advice and said, "Your Highness refuses to eat and can't properly take care of the Crown Prince. Isn't that just what you wished for?"
Gu Yan frowned and asked, "Zhao Jing, what did you say?"
Zhao Jing asked, "Why did His Royal Highness come back to life earlier? Wasn't it because you, along with 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 angrily said, "Don't come to the East Palace to make trouble. Get out."
Zhao Jing bowed and retreated. Seeing Zhao Yun's frail appearance, Gu Yan was really worried. "Your Highness, please eat a little. My sister's spirit in heaven would not feel good to see you like this."
Zhao Yun sat powerlessly on the small couch, shaking his head calmly, saying, "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 uncomfortable.
Gu Yan really couldn't bear to watch Zhao Yun leave like this. He really 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 around 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 survive the next few days.
"Yun'er."
Queen Wei and His Majesty entered.
Gu Yan saluted 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, and then looked at Zhao Yun, who was of the same age as them and had half of his hair silver, and 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 powerlessly on the small couch, holding the jade bracelet that Ye Wanhe had worn in his hand. "Mother, I'm sorry, I want to go 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. Mother really can't bear it anymore."
Zhao Yun whispered, "Mother, 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 stumbling Queen Wei. He gently held her in his arms and said, "Don't worry, the imperial physician is here. He won't let Yun'er die. Please return 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'm afraid he will only live for a few days. Xiangye, if His Highness really can't survive, I will have no choice but to tell him the truth."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly and said, "Well, if His Highness really can't hold on any longer, then we can tell him the truth. If he's so affectionate, why did he hurt me like this before?"
Gu Yan sighed and said, "Perhaps only after losing something will one know how to cherish it."
Yun Xiangye also sighed. "Oh, right, I just went to the embroidery workshop, and even the embroiderers there were saying that the Gu family had colluded with the Crown Princess to harm the Crown Prince. Will this rumor really have any impact on the Gu family?"
