Yun Xiangye went to the Five Colors 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 shaking her head. There must be something hateful about a pitiful person.
If it was Wei Yu who succeeded this time, how could Yan let go of their Princess Mansion?
As Yun Xiangye entered the Princess's residence, she heard Gu Jingyu's voice, "Grandmother, ignore her. She forgot when her daughter led the troops to surround our Princess's residence. 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 spare Wei Xi's life."
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, "Are you really going to hand over the title of Duke of Wei and the imperial seal to save the lives of Wei Xi and Wei Qian?"
Wei Zhan knelt on the ground and said, "I have failed in my parenting and 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 siblings."
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 didn't come after 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, insisting on leaving an heir for 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 labor giving birth to Zhao Yun, she brought a girl from the Wei family's side branch to her delivery room...
Queen Wei said, "Adopt a son of good character from a branch of the family. The Wei family's achievements were earned through the desperate efforts of our ancestors, and it was 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 Wei Xi and Wei Qian grow up, but they must pay the price for their actions."
"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 kneeling Duke of Wei and said, "Uncle, the imperial seal cannot guarantee the death penalty for treason. The fact that you haven't been stripped of your title is a sign of mercy from our father."
Upon hearing this, the Duke of Wei sighed and said, "Your Highness."
Zhao Yun said, "Wei Xi and Wei Qian are sentenced to death and will not be pardoned! If you wish, you can adopt a child from a branch family. If not, the Duke of Wei will be gone with you. A red seal and iron certificate cannot guarantee the crime of treason."
"Considering 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 one last time."
Duke Wei sighed deeply.

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 his official uniform, "Cousin Shian, is there anything wrong?"
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 asked, "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 sky prison.
The prison here is specially used to detain officials, so it is quite spacious. However, it is dark and damp because it cannot see the sun.
Yun Xiangye followed Xie Shi'an into the innermost prison and saw Wei Xi with disheveled hair. She was dirty and smelly because she hadn't bathed for half a month. She didn't look like the noble lady she used to be.
When Wei Yu saw Yun Xiangye coming, he looked at her gravely and said, "Yun Xiangye!"
Yun Xiangye saw Wei Xi and asked, "Is your dying wish to see me one last time?"
Wei Xi clenched his fists and said, "Yun Xiangye, a dying man's 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 couldn't sense any kindness in Wei Xi's eyes.
Wei Xi said slowly, "Yun Xiangye, do you really think Gu Yan loves you? Gu Yan is only marrying you because you're a lucky charm. He can't divorce you because divorcing you would imply a loss of character on his part."
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 lightly and said, "Whether Gu Yan loves me or not, I can feel it myself. I don't need you to tell me."
