Hearing Zhao Yunhui's extremely affirmative words, Ye Xuan couldn't help but look at him a few more times, then lowered his voice and asked: "If His Majesty is faking his death, what would you do?"

When Zhao Yunhui heard this, he rolled his eyes at him unceremoniously and said sarcastically, "What can I do? Apart from being loyal to Your Majesty, I have no other thoughts."

After finishing his words, Zhao Yunhui looked at Ye Xuan with a strange look, and it was unknown what he was thinking of, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Ye Xuan, what do you think of me? How dare you doubt me so much!"

On the surface, Ye Xuan's words sounded like he was worried about him, but upon closer inspection, it turned out that he was suspicious that he was the emperor's man.

"Although His Majesty is not as kind to you as before, compared to others, you are still in the Emperor's heart, so I don't understand why you want to lean towards the Crown Prince?"

Facing Zhao Yunhui's gaze, Ye Xuan was silent for a long time before expressing his concerns.

"Your Majesty does trust me, but this trust is much less than that of others, and my son was sent out to follow the crown prince."

Zhao Yunhui didn't want to share his ideas with Ye Xuan, for fear that he would have wild thoughts and disagree with him.

But when he saw Ye Xuan's worried look, he knew that if he didn't explain things clearly to him, he would become suspicious.

"My son has been spoiled by me. He can only talk about military affairs on paper, but not march and fight. If it weren't for the ability of the prince, my son would have died in Qingzhou."

"As for your majesty's trust in me, it is just like a piece of thin paper. A light fire is enough to burn it to ashes. In addition to worrying about my son, I also have to consider the Zhao family, so naturally I have to lean on the prince."

Having said this, Zhao Yunhui looked at Ye Xuan indifferently and continued speaking with a meaningful tone.

"Why did you arrange for some of your clansmen to leave before? Then you should understand what I am thinking at this moment. Ye Xuan, you are not the only one in this world who is frightened by His Majesty's cruelty and ruthlessness."

Ye Xuan listened to these straightforward words, stared at Zhao Yunhui for a while, then sighed and said, "We were all forced by His Majesty. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have died at the hands of the Eighth Prince."

"You are wrong." Zhao Yunhui quickly retorted, "The relationship between the Eighth Prince and His Majesty has become strained. Even if no one instigates him, the Eighth Prince will get rid of His Majesty."

"The news of His Majesty's death spread so quickly. Although it was due to the instigation of others, it was also due to the connivance of the Eighth Prince."

"So don't think that he will live well if we continue to be loyal to His Majesty."

Zhao Yunhui understood many things clearly, so when he learned the news from the emperor, he no longer rushed to Luoyang City, but directly occupied Yongzhou.

"Lord Ye, the death of His Majesty is a foregone conclusion. What we need to do now is to survive in the chaotic world that has begun, rather than lamenting that His Majesty's death was too absurd."

Wei Mingzhou has been locked up in the same place with Ye Xuan for some time, and he has long understood some of Ye Xuan's thoughts.

He knew that Ye Xuan was actually happy about the emperor's death. The reason why he was so conflicted at the moment was because he was worried that the emperor was still faking his death and would suddenly show up later, making their actions the knife that would crush them.

"You're right, I was too worried." Ye Xuan listened to Wei Mingzhou's words and was silent for a while before he realized his own mentality.

He quickly adjusted it and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Chen are still in Chang Xuewei's hands. We have to find a way to rescue them, and then find a way to study the antidote for the Phoenix Gu."

When talking about Phoenix Gu, Ye Xuan thought of the hundreds of thousands of weirdos in Luoyang City, and said with lingering fear: "The weirdos are very fierce, and ordinary people have no way to deal with them. We can only combine everyone's strength to research the antidote."

"Are they really that powerful?" Zhao Yunhui had never seen any weirdos, he had only heard of their reputations. He thought that Ye Xuan and the others were able to survive because they were powerful. Why did it now sound like they were lucky to be alive today?

Wei Mingzhou immediately spoke up: "They are very dangerous, and they are in this state because of the poison. If there is an antidote, they might be able to survive."

Ye Xuan nodded quickly: "Those people have become weird, as if they have entered a state of suspended animation. As long as there is an antidote, they can come back to life. However, it is not easy to research the antidote, and Chen Changli and his wife are the key to researching the antidote."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Mingzhou glanced at him, then lowered his eyelids, frowned slightly and said, "Phoenix Gu is very important to Chang Xuewei. Even if Wan Shufang is brought by her side, she will not be able to get the opportunity to study Phoenix Gu."

"So if we want to research an antidote, we have to get the Phoenix Gu instead of simply placing our hopes on one person."

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. No matter how powerful Wan Shufang is, she is just an ordinary person.

Wei Mingzhou didn't want Ye Xuan to have too much hope for her, otherwise disappointment would turn into a demon in his heart.

"Is there no other way besides this?" Zhao Yunhui had heard of the name of Phoenix Gu a long time ago, but he had been fighting on the border before and had no time to think about it.

Now that he heard the news about Phoenix Gu, he was very curious and wanted to know if there was a solution to it.

"There is no other way, because Phoenix Gu is the king of Gu, and it is made with countless poisons."

"If the Phoenix Gu was not still alive and Chang Xuewei had it under her control, those weirdos in Luoyang City would have become an invincible army, causing great suffering to all living beings in the world, and no one would have escaped."

Wei Mingzhou knew something about Phoenix Gu. He believed that if Phoenix Gu did not have defects, Chang Xuewei would not have stayed in Luoyang City at all.

The monsters created by Phoenix Gu will also make the whole world more chaotic. Maybe all living beings in the world will be turned into puppets, and only Phoenix Gu can survive.

"Is Phoenix Gu so scary? Are those people like Chang Xuewei crazy? Why would they create such a scary thing?"

Listening to Wei Mingzhou's very serious words, Zhao Yunhui didn't think he was exaggerating, and was immediately frightened to the point that his heart almost stopped beating.

He covered his chest and slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, then said worriedly: "If there is no antidote for Phoenix Gu, what should we do? Try to take Phoenix Gu away? But if Phoenix Gu was easy to snatch, Chen Changli and his wife would not have been taken away by the rebels."

At this point, Zhao Yunhui was in a dilemma. Many thoughts were churning in his mind, and he didn't know how to express them.

He stared at Wei Mingzhou with burning eyes, hoping that he could come up with a good idea.

Wei Mingzhou felt uncomfortable when he was stared at with expectant eyes.

He shook his sleeves, rubbed his swollen forehead, and sighed, "Phoenix Gu is the most important. As for other people or things, we don't need to think about them at this moment."

Ye Xuan nodded immediately: "That's right, but if we don't think about some things, who can feel at ease? The most important thing is how many people Chang Xuewei has under her command, and whether Chen Changli and his wife can be rescued, none of us knows."
