In a daze, Yun Musong turned his gaze to the emperor, as if he wanted to find a negative answer in the latter's eyes.
However, he was disappointed.
The emperor just said lightly: "Everyone, get up."
There was no intention of punishment, but there was no intention of denial either. It was as calm as the setting sun at this moment.
"Uncle King Yan, take the old lady back and have a good rest. Danyuan, you go to the Zichen Palace with me. The rest of the people have dispersed." The emperor glanced at Yun Musong, turned around and entered the palace gate.
The prince quickly helped Yun Yao up: "Mother, concubine, I will go back to Weiyang Palace with you."
"Yeah." Yunyao nodded numbly.
The sun set in the west, and as the emperor, empress, and everyone from Prince Yan's mansion left, only the Yun family remained at the gate of the palace.
Compared to the indignation they had when they arrived in the morning, there was only confusion on their faces at this moment.
"Clan leader..."
Everyone didn't know what to do. They looked at the white-haired old man eagerly like they were grasping at driftwood in the lake.
Yun Mu Song pressed his hand on the ground, and the back of his hand, which was as old as a twig and a vine, was covered with slightly trembling blue veins.
He wanted to get up from the ground, but he knelt for too long and was defeated by the last order. He really had no strength.
When the servants around him saw this, they quickly helped him.
Standing upright unsteadily, his eyes were in a trance for a while, then darkened, and his whole body fell softly.
"Clan leader!"
*
The Yun clan leader is really sick this time.
The clan elders also became headless flies one by one, not knowing how to decide on those business deals.
There was no news from the palace either.
Everything seemed to have stopped.
Wei Zi still went to the palace with Feng Danning as usual to give lessons to the prince every day.
The prince studied harder than usual. After Wei Zi finished the class, he asked her if he could teach more.
Wei Zi thought for a while and said: "It would be very difficult if we could draw inferences from one example. Your Highness, too much is never enough. Learning is also a step-by-step process."
The prince looked worried: "Sorry, I was too anxious. Sister Wei, my mother-in-law has been in a bad mood these past two days. I want to do better and make her happy."
Wei Zi said gently: "Your Highness has always been very attentive, and the Queen can see it. Don't worry, according to your current learning progress, you will be enough to deal with the upcoming eunuchs."
The prince said: "I'm not afraid of that. I'm worried that I won't be able to properly supervise business and trade."
"Don't be afraid, you can do it well." Wei Zi encouraged him: "In this way, starting from tomorrow, there will be three more big questions in the after-school homework. Your Highness, you can decide whether to do it or not according to the situation."
"I will definitely complete it seriously!" The prince nodded seriously.
Wei Zi left Zhaoyang Palace and when he walked to the gate of the palace, he met Feng Danyuan who was waiting there.
"Let's go."
He took her hand and helped her into the carriage.
"Is everything settled?" Wei Zi asked him.
"It's settled, I'll go to the Yun family with the imperial edict early tomorrow morning," Feng Danyuan replied.
Wei Zi sighed: "How could the Yun family be so confused? The emperor gave them three days, not to let them hide in their shells like tortoises, but to hope that they would hand over the business themselves, not to mention that they would lose their merits.
But at least we gave each other face."
"It's not that I'm confused, I'm just asking for something." Feng Danyuan said in a deep voice.
