Yun Zhihan was happy. Was she feeling wronged? Of course not. She was about to receive the reward. How could she feel wronged?

Xie Boyuan replied, "I only want to prove the innocence of the Xie family. I dare not ask the emperor for a reward."

"How can this be possible? There must be rewards and punishments, both are indispensable. If there are only punishments but no rewards, who will be willing to serve the royal family and be loyal to me in the future?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Xie Baiyuan looked at his mother. He wanted to know what his mother wanted.

Yun Zhihan took a step forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, I have a request. I beg for your grace."

"tell me the story!"

"Just now, Young Master Zhao searched my Xie family from top to bottom. Please, Your Majesty, send someone to help us reorganize the backyard."

"Hahaha!" The emperor said cheerfully, "What kind of reward is this? Whoever destroyed it should repair it."

After saying this, the emperor looked at Zhao Feng and said, "Master Zhao, the cost of this renovation will be paid by your Zhao family? Do you have any objection?"

"I am willing!" How could Zhao Feng dare to object? It was all because of this stupid son.

"Hmm!" the emperor then asked, "Think of another one, this one doesn't count."

Eunuch Huang is the best at observing people's words and expressions. He saw that the emperor was in a very good mood today and felt that something was wrong.

"Madam Xie, please feel free to ask for anything you want. Our emperor is a wise ruler. If you don't ask for a reward, you will be slandering his wisdom."

"Well, you hit the nail on the head." The emperor was very satisfied with Huang Desheng's words.

Yun Zhihan smiled slightly and said, "Eunuch Huang is absolutely right. It is I who am too short-sighted." Then she would not be polite.

"Then can His Majesty personally write a plaque for the Xie family? From now on, our Xie family will have honor."

"Okay!" The emperor looked at Huang Desheng, "Write it down. When I'm done, send it to the Xie family immediately."

"Yes! Your Majesty."

Yun Zhihan: "I, your humble servant, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xie Boyuan: "I thank the emperor!"

"Okay, stand up. Now that everything is alright, I will take everyone back first."

"Congratulations to your Majesty!"

Just as the emperor was about to stand up, Nanny Liang came running over in a panic and accidentally fell flat on her face.

When Eunuch Huang saw this reckless servant, he angrily shouted, "You daring servant, how dare you act rashly in front of the emperor? I think you are tired of living!"

Yun Zhihan saw that the emperor was frowning, and asked quickly, "Madam Liang, why are you so anxious? Aren't you taking care of your mother in the room?"

Madam Liang wiped the dirt off her mouth and explained while crying, "Your Majesty, spare my life. I dare not do anything rash. It's just that the old lady, the old lady is dead!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

The ministers all had puzzled expressions on their faces, and without exception they looked at the Zhao father and son.

These two people came to the Xie family, but not only did they find nothing, they also scared the old lady to death.

Zhao Feng wanted to faint, but he didn't dare to, for fear that the emperor would take this opportunity to bury him.

Yun Zhihan looked flustered and knelt before the emperor, "Your Majesty, please allow me to go and see my mother-in-law."

"Let's go. I'll go with you! The others will wait here."

"Huang Desheng, call the imperial physician over quickly!"

"Yes!"

After that, the emperor brought a few confidants and the three legitimate children of the Xie family, and followed Yun Zhihan to the South Courtyard to find out what was going on.

As a concubine's wife, Yuan Shi was not taken seriously, which made her unhappy. In addition, Bai Liang was not around, so no one cared about her.

South courtyard.

Old Madam Xie lay motionless on the bed, her face pale and her body temperature gradually dropping.

Xie Boyuan walked forward, put his hand close to his grandmother's nose, and found that she was no longer breathing. Tears immediately started flowing.

No matter what, this grandmother had loved him since he was a child, and only loved him, so it was impossible for him not to be sad.

"Grandma!" he cried, kneeling in front of the bed.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Baichen and Xie Baijin also knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and cried for their grandmother.

Although they have no feelings for the old lady, they still show their filial piety to her.

At this time, Yun Zhihan was crying. When Tongzi notified her, she had already been making preparations.

"Mother! How could you leave this family behind and just go away like this? Who will your daughter-in-law rely on in the future?"

"Plop!" Yun Zhihan fell to his knees.

The emperor and his ministers stood by, not knowing what to do and could only push all the responsibility onto the Zhao father and son.

But Yun Zhihan, who was kneeling on the ground, was really tired from crying. It was too exhausting.

"Tongzi, I'm going to faint!"

"The Emperor is still here."

"I just can't cry any more."

"Ok."

In an instant, Yun Zhihan’s crying stopped abruptly, and she closed her eyes and fainted.

The emperor acted quickly and picked her up, and everyone was shocked.

"What are you looking at? Bai Yuan, lead the way! Where does your mother live?"

The three children quickly stood up and looked at their mother. Compared to the old lady, she was the most important person to them.

"Your Majesty, can I hold my mother?"

"No need, just lead the way. I'm coming. Don't waste time!"

Xie Baiyuan did not dare to disobey the imperial edict and quickly stepped forward to lead the way.

"Huang Desheng, the imperial physician will be here soon. Go to Madam Xie first."

"Yes!" Eunuch Huang and other ministers also hurriedly followed out.

Nanny Liang was the only one guarding the room.

She knelt in front of Old Madam Xie and cried, "Old Madam, if you could have foreseen what would happen to you today, would you have agreed to let me kill Yun's parents?"

The emperor held Yun Zhihan in his arms and ran towards the southwest. The servants and ministers kneeling on the ground were quite shocked.

"Who is the emperor holding?"

"It's too far away to be seen. Could it be Mrs. Xie?"

"Ah? Why did Mrs. Xie faint?"

"I don't know."

General Liu at the side reminded them, "Keep your voices down. Don't you think it's shameful? If Madam Xie gets into trouble again, the emperor's reputation will be damaged, and we will all be buried with her!"

After these words were spoken, everyone lowered their heads and dared not say another word.

When Yuan saw this scene, she cursed in her heart: Yun Zhihan, this little whore, actually seduced the emperor. How could she think of such a thing? She should dream on!

Yun Zhihan only felt that he was lying in a broad chest, and he was secretly complacent in his heart: Is this Yuan'er or Chen'er? He will definitely become a good husband in the future.

Tongzi reminded her, "Hanhan, you think too much. The one holding you is the emperor!"

Hearing this shocking news, she almost woke up in shock, "Why is it someone else again?"

She felt like crying but had no tears. She didn't know what would happen to the Xie family if this got out, but she would have no chance of survival.

"Hanhan, don't worry. You have been a widow for more than eight years. According to the laws of the Great Zhou, you can remarry and no one will criticize you."

"What do you know? This is the current emperor! He has three thousand beauties in his harem."

Yun Zhihan thought that it would be better if he just fainted. It would be so embarrassing if he opened his eyes.
