Gu Yan stepped forward and helped Zhao Yun up. After eating the medicinal porridge, Zhao Yun regained some strength and could at least stand steadily.
Gu Yan helped Zhao Yun out of the door. The Empress and His Majesty outside saw this scene and were extremely happy, "Yun'er!"
Zhao Yun walked up to Queen Wei and said, "Mother, I am unfilial. I will take good care of myself in the future and will not cause you any more worries."
Queen Wei chuckled and said, "Okay, that's good."
Zhao Yun followed Gu Yan into the Gu family's carriage.
It was not until Zhao Yun entered the imperial mausoleum, opened the coffin and did not see the corpse inside that he completely believed that Ye Wanhe was still alive. After all, they would never dare to hide Ye Wanhe's corpse from themselves.
Zhao Yun frowned and looked at Gu Yan in front of him and said, "You seem to be willing to grant Yun Xiangye's every request. You don't want to enter the court again in this life, right?"
Gu Yan said, "Your Highness, I never thought you would risk your life for a woman. Even if my mother didn't come today, I would still want to tell you the truth."
Zhao Yun glared at Gu Yan and asked, "In your eyes, do Yun's words sound more like an imperial decree than mine?"
Gu Yan said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, but I didn't want to lose my wife again after coaxing her back with great difficulty. After all, you've experienced the pain of losing your beloved these past few days..."
Zhao Yun snorted, "Yun Xiangye has repeatedly committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. He deserves the death penalty, but he cannot be forgiven even if he lives."
Gu Yan knelt before Zhao Yun and said, "I am willing to take the blame for Yun Xiangye's crime."
Zhao Yun said, "Although I have been dying these past few days, I have heard that someone in Chang'an City has harbored ulterior motives.
For the sake of our brotherhood, I didn't want to punish him. He has been stubborn and self-righteous since he was young, so he is not worth worrying about. I believe that even if I am no longer in this world, it will be difficult for him to become a powerful figure in the court. His status is also a bit embarrassing..."
Gu Yan listened to Zhao Yun's words and said, "Is it Zhao Jing?"
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Well, after the incident in Lizhou, I sent secret guards to Wei Shao, the younger brother of Wei Jian, the governor of Lijiang. I knew Wei Shao was close to some of the young masters in Chang'an City, but I didn't take it seriously. But these past few days, I've been seriously ill, and his wolfish ambitions have been revealed. He even wants to win over Zhao Jing and seize the throne. Zhao Jing has also been interested in this, and seems to think he can really be the emperor."
Gu Yan said, "Those rumors out there that are trying to sow discord among our Gu family's loyalists were also spread by Zhao Jing. I originally thought he was just resentful that I had taken Xiangye away from him."
