Yun Chuwei looked at Yun Xian, whose face was full of disbelief, and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Oh? What did you dream about? You dreamed that you weren't your grandmother's biological child, that she was preventing you from marrying He An, so you poisoned your grandmother?"

Yun Chuwei spoke in a low, casual voice.

Yun Xian raised her head, looking at Yun Chuwei in horror: "You... how did you know?"

Yun Chuwei said, "Although it was a dream, it wasn't fake! If it weren't for your birth mother's scheming, you might not have any connection with the Marquis's mansion at all!"

Yun Xian looked at Yun Chuwei, his eyes filled with disbelief: "What about He Ning?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "He Ning is naturally Grandmother's biological child. Otherwise, why do you think His Majesty would allow Yun Mo to inherit the title of Marquis?"

Yun Xian's face was grim.

No wonder his mother insisted that he marry He Ning; even though he tried his best to resist, he couldn't change anything.

No wonder his mother treated He Ning better than he did.

No wonder his mother chose He Ning and gave him up!

Yun Chuwei continued, "What else did you dream about? Did you poison me so that Yun Lianhua could become empress?"

“You…” Yun Xian stared at Yun Chuwei in astonishment, unable to utter another word.

How did Yun Chuwei know about all the things he dreamed about?

Yun Chuwei slowly said, "Fortunately, you didn't dream that His Majesty knew you were an imposter, otherwise His Majesty would have killed you in his dream too!"

Yun Xian's eyes widened: "So, it's His Majesty..."

Yun Chu smiled sweetly: "Unfortunately, in reality, His Majesty has learned that you are not a descendant of Prime Minister Yun. You are going to die!"

Yun Xian shook his head, his face filled with disbelief.

He understood what Yun Chuwei meant, but he didn't believe it.

His Majesty would never want to kill him.

As he was thinking, he saw Sun Jiasheng walk in with a eunuch and two imperial guards.

The eunuch was carrying a tray with a wine cup and a pot of wine on it.

Seeing this, what else could Yun Xian not understand?

His face turned deathly pale, and he hurriedly said to Yun Chuwei, "Weiwei, I am your father, please save me, I beg you!"

Yun Chuwei's expression remained calm: "Father? What kind of father are you? Spreading rumors to ruin my reputation? Collaborating with the Empress to try and force me to my death? Collaborating with Xie Sheng to poison me?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Xian cried and said, "I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong, Weiwei, please save me!"

Yun Chuwei said slowly, "You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to die! By the way, your grandmother and mother also know that His Majesty is going to kill you today, and they didn't even have the thought of coming to see you one last time. Yun Xian, you're truly a failure!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Xian collapsed to the ground, unable to utter another word.

He regretted it.

If he had treated He Ning better from the beginning, if he had always been loving and affectionate with He Ning, and if He An hadn't existed, wouldn't He Ning and her mother have tried their best to protect him now?

But there are no "what ifs"...

As Yun Xian watched Sun Jiasheng approach, his eyes were filled with despair.

Sun Jiasheng approached Yun Chuwei and bowed to her: "Miss Yun, have you finished what His Majesty instructed? If so, this old servant will see Lord Yun off on his way."

Yun Chuwei nodded in return, then said, "His Majesty's instructions have been completed. Please proceed, Eunuch!"

After Yun Chuwei finished speaking, she turned and walked out.

Emperor Tianqi's intention was to let Yun Xian die knowing why.

She felt that Yun Xian now understood perfectly why he had died.

No one could know this better than him.

So, Yun Chuwei called her people to leave.

Seeing this, Yun Xian crawled forward a few steps, looked at Yun Chuwei's back, and said, "Weiwei! I really know I was wrong! Don't go, please save me!"

However, Yun Chuwei ignored her and left.

Sun Jiasheng entered the prison cell, looked at Yun Xian, and said with regret in his eyes, "My lord, there's no need to cry out, it's useless. His Majesty has ordered your death, who can help you? My lord, you should drink a cup of wine and go on your way!"

-

When Yun Chuwei returned to the Yun residence, she saw He An and Yun Lianhua kneeling at the entrance of the residence.

He Zhiqian and his wife were also present.

The reason these people are here is clearly to see Old Madam Yun and ask her to plead for Yun Xian.

Yun Chuwei raised an eyebrow slightly. These people didn't know that Yun Xian was probably already gone.

Upon seeing Yun Chuwei, He An immediately pleaded with her, "Yun Chuwei, could you please ask the old lady to come out and see me? I have something extremely important to tell her, and it can't be delayed! I'm begging you!"

He Zhiqian also chimed in to support He An, saying, "Yun Chuwei, you had the Embroidered Uniform Guards injure me that day, and I didn't even impeach you in front of His Majesty. Haven't I already treated you fairly? It's not too much to ask you to help He An today, is it?"

Yun Chu smiled sarcastically. She looked at He Zhiqian and said slowly, "The Embroidered Uniform Guards are His Majesty's men. Although they are by my side protecting me, do you think what happens around me won't reach His Majesty's ears? Why didn't he even reprimand me? You didn't impeach me in front of His Majesty that day. Was it because you didn't want to, or because you were afraid?"

He Zhiqian's face turned pale and then red, looking extremely unwell.

Yes, the reason he didn't read Yun Chuwei's book wasn't because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare to.

Since the Embroidered Uniform Guard is present, His Majesty will surely know what happens around Yun Chuwei.

His Majesty is already pretending not to know, so he can't very well embarrass himself by revealing it, can he?

Seeing that He Zhiqian didn't speak again, Yun Chuwei smiled and said, "If you want to see my grandmother, just wait a little longer. Anyway, my grandmother will come out soon!"

Hearing this, He An was overjoyed and a smile appeared on his face.

"Are you telling the truth? Will your grandmother really come out in a little while?" He An asked.

Yun Chuwei nodded very seriously, then slowly added, "Of course, when the people from the Imperial Prison bring Yun Xian's body back, my grandmother and my mother will come to receive it personally! After all, respect for the dead is paramount!"

He An didn't react for a moment. She looked at Yun Chuwei and asked, "What did you say? What do you mean?"

Yun Chuwei's expression remained calm: "The literal meaning!"

Madam He quickly interjected, "Yun Chuwei, what are you saying? Yun Xian is still your father, isn't he? How could you curse your father?"

Yun Chuwei's lips curled slightly, and without saying anything more, she stepped into the Marquis's residence.

When Yun Lianhua saw Yun Chuwei enter, she felt very uneasy.

"Mother, could it be that something really happened to Father?"

He An's expression was somewhat unpleasant, and he shook his head.

She didn't know either.

Madam He reassured him, "Don't worry, even if Yun Chuwei dies, your father will be fine!"
