Everyone waited for Zhao Moyan's reaction. Zhao Moyan forced himself to stand up and said to Prince Wu, "The rest is up to you!" Then he dragged his heavy steps toward the East Palace.
Prince Wu panicked and hurriedly said, "Zhao Moyan, don't go! Tian Yu said when she left that the real mastermind is someone else, so be careful, it might be a trap!" Zhao Moyan stopped and thought for a moment before continuing to walk towards the East Palace.
"Find a way to stop him!" Prince Wu said to Li Yong.
Li Yong was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and caught up with Zhao Moyan.
"Brother, it's dangerous. What if it's a trap? Should we let Doctor Li check on your injuries first?"
"Brother, you'll faint before you reach the East Palace! Let me help you. I'll have a soldier check on you first!" Li Yong said anxiously. Zhao Moyan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, waved his hand, and continued walking forward.
"Brother, why don't we wait until we're healed before we go see him?"
"Brother, Tangyuan is still waiting for us outside." Li Yong didn't know what was in the Eastern Palace, but he knew it would definitely take Zhao Moyan's life.
Zhao Moyan didn't want to answer a word and resolutely walked towards the East Palace step by step. Li Yong was anxious, fearing that this was a trap set by Wu Yaohui. They were almost at the East Palace. Li Yong knocked Zhao Moyan unconscious from behind, and supporting the unconscious Zhao Moyan, Li Yong said, "Brother, let me go check first. If there's no danger, you can go later!"
Soldiers surrounded the entire palace, and Consort Li and the concubines of the harem were arrested. Subsequently, the Li family was also surrounded, and the entire capital was in a state of panic. Just then, a familiar figure, a figure that did not belong to this era, appeared on the streets of the capital, busy bandaging the wounds of the injured people.
When Zhao Moyan woke up, he was already in his own residence. Li Yong and Tangyuan were guarding his bedside. When Tangyuan saw Zhao Moyan move, she cried and said, "Father! Father, you're finally awake!"
"Brother, you're finally awake!" Li Yong said excitedly, and quickly ordered someone to inform Li Xingyun. Qiu Ju and Lü Liu also hurriedly ran to prepare food and medicine.
Zhao Moyan opened his eyes to look at Tangyuan, then slowly closed them again, not understanding why he could still wake up, why he couldn't just sleep like that, at least Tianyu was still in his dreams.
"Father! Mother is gone, are you going to abandon me and my sister too?" Tangyuan cried.
Zhao Moyan didn't react, so Tangyuan continued to pull on his arm and said, "Daddy, don't sleep! You've been sleeping for three days! Please get up! The person who hurt Mother hasn't been punished yet, you can't fall down, Daddy!"
Only then did Zhao Moyan remember that she was supposed to go to the East Palace before she fainted. Remembering what Wu Yaohui had said, she opened her eyes again and said to them, "Help me up!"
"Lie down! Don't move!" Li Xingyun and the others walked in and said.
"I want to go to the palace!" Zhao Moyan said, forcing himself to sit up.
Li Xingyun stepped forward and pushed him back onto the bed, saying, "Are you out of your mind?! Even if you don't care about Tangyuan and your daughter, can you at least think about Tian Yu?! She sacrificed herself to protect all of us."
"I want to go to the palace!" Zhao Moyan said to Li Xingyun. Li Xingyun looked at him for a long time before finally letting go of his hand and handing the medicine that Qiuju had brought over to Zhao Moyan.
Looking at the medicine in front of him, Zhao Moyan remembered that Tian Yu was most afraid of drinking medicine. He reached out, took the bowl of medicine, and drank it down in one gulp. He then stood up and walked out step by step, supporting his battered body.
Li Yong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother, why don't we wait until your injury has healed before going?"
That day, he knocked Zhao Moyan unconscious and entered the East Palace first. He opened the bedroom where Tian Yu used to live. He thought Wu Yaohui was trying to frame his elder brother, but when he saw the scene in the room, he knew that it would definitely take his elder brother's life. The others who arrived later were also shocked by the scene in the room. Chen Chong was about to rush to kill Wu Yaohui on the spot, but Pei Yuling had dozens of soldiers stop him.
He also wanted to kill Wu Yaohui, but he knew it was his elder brother's business and he couldn't do it for him. However, he still couldn't resist beating Wu Yaohui severely. Chen Chong suffered the consequences, being locked in a room by Pei Yuling until today. Now, although Zhao Moyan is awake, he absolutely cannot be allowed to go anywhere! Li Yong anxiously looked at the others, hoping they could stop Zhao Moyan. Tangyuan, unaware of the situation, could see Li Yong's worry and hugged Zhao Moyan's leg, saying, "Daddy, you can't leave Tangyuan behind, you can't abandon Tangyuan."
"Good girl! You and your sister wait at home, Daddy will be right back." Zhao Moyan patted Tangyuan's head and said softly.
"Father!" The little girl ran to Zhao Moyan's feet and hugged him, calling out.
Then, under everyone's gaze, he slowly walked out of the room. Li Yong wanted to stop him, but Li Xingyun sighed and said, "Never mind, he'll see it sooner or later."
"I should have burned it down that day! If my brother had seen it, it would have killed him!" Li Yong said regretfully.
"Do you dare?!" Chen Chong's words shut him down.
Zhao Moyan stepped out of the gate, mounted his horse, and rode straight towards the palace. In three days, the capital city had returned to its original state; the streets were clean and tidy, and pedestrians were bustling about, a far cry from the carnage of three days prior. A black steed galloped past, and a figure in coarse cloth, holding a candied hawthorn skewer, turned to look at the passing horse, shaking his head and saying, "How can someone with a full head of white hair still have the energy to charge around like that? The ancients were truly amazing!" The candied hawthorn vendor smiled and said, "He's not old at all, just his hair has turned white from worry, sigh!"
The woman said to the candied hawthorn vendor, "Are there really people like this? How much is a skewer of candied hawthorns, boss!"
Zhao Moyan arrived at the palace. Upon hearing the report from the palace servants, Prince Wu put down the memorial he was holding and rushed over. At the gate of the East Palace, he ordered someone to stop Zhao Moyan and said, "Zhao Moyan, wait!"
