Yun Chuwei understood the meaning behind Xie Xuan's words.

In his previous life, Xie Xuan's death was inextricably linked to these two people.

Later, Emperor Tianqi did indeed pin the blame for Xie Xuan's death on these two people and had them executed.

But she always felt it wasn't them, and she wanted to find out the truth and clear their names.

But Emperor Tianqi stopped her.

Because of Emperor Tianqi's deliberate control, she never saw the two men from their arrest to their deaths.

Huo Qingjue shielded her from a knife, and Jiang Wanqiu saved her life.

She not only couldn't protect them, but she also couldn't clear their names.

She actually felt somewhat guilty towards the two of them.

Yun Chuwei wanted to explain, but Xie Xuan had already shaken off her hand and left on his own.

"Xie Xuan!" Yun Chuwei called out to his retreating figure.

Xie Xuan paused briefly, then quickly got back into the carriage.

Watching his carriage speed away, Yun Chuwei had no choice but to give up chasing after him.

Huo Qingjue and Jiang Wanqiu exchanged a glance, then moved closer to Yun Chuwei.

They watched Xie Xuan's carriage disappear before turning to look at Yun Chuwei.

Huo Qingjue asked in a low voice, "Miss Yun, does His Highness Prince Xuan have some misunderstanding about us?"

He could sense the coldness in His Highness Prince Xuan's eyes as he looked at them.

Jiang Wanqiu added, "His Highness Prince Xuan seems to dislike your proximity to us. Perhaps Miss Yun could go and inform His Majesty, and ask him to replace you with two different people?"

Huo Qingjue nodded in agreement.

His Highness Prince Xuan didn't like them getting close to Miss Yun, and they didn't really like following a young girl either.

If Yun Chuwei could ask His Majesty to replace her, that would be a truly happy thing for everyone.

Yun Chu said coolly, "Then I'll go tell His Majesty that you're unwilling to cooperate with me, and ask him to replace you with two people?"

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the palace.

The two were shocked and quickly stopped Yun Chuwei.

Jiang Wanqiu said with a forced smile, "We were just joking! We were just kidding! We swear to follow Miss to the death! If Miss tells us to go east, we will never go west!"

Huo Qingjue nodded: "If Miss tells us to catch ducks, we absolutely won't catch chickens!"

Yun Chuwei glanced at the two of them and said slowly, "Remember what you said! If you ever don't want to follow me anymore, just tell me and I will report directly to His Majesty!"

The two nodded quickly.

Yun Chuwei thought for a moment and said, "His Majesty just assigned me a task that needs to be completed within three days!"

As she spoke, she looked at Huo Qingjue.

Huo Qingjue, being very perceptive, asked, "What are your orders, Miss?"

"Send a few people to keep an eye on Yue Jingsheng. Let me know when he leaves the house," Yun Chuwei said in a low voice.

Huo Qingjue was puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to start with Yue Jingsheng?"

Yun Chuwei nodded: "Yes, I've disliked him for a long time!"

Huo Qingjue perked up: "Received, mission accomplished."

He had disliked Yue Jingsheng for a long time.

Huo Qingjue summoned his men, gave them a few instructions, and then pointed to his carriage, saying, "I'll take you back!"

Yun Chuwei did not refuse. After getting into the carriage, she asked Huo Qingjue to take her to the Xuan Prince's residence.

Huo Qingjue naturally instructed the groom to do so.

Soon, Yun Chuwei arrived outside the Xuan Prince's residence.

She knocked on the door of Prince Xuan's residence, only to be told that Prince Xuan did not receive guests.

Yun Chuwei stood in front of the Xuan Prince's mansion for a moment before returning to the carriage.

Jiang Wanqiu looked at Yun Chuwei, her eyes sparkling with interest.

"Young Miss, is His Highness Prince Xuan not seeing you?"

Yun Chuwei leaned against the carriage floor and said lazily, "They said they don't receive guests!"

Jiang Wanqiu leaned a little closer to Yun Chuwei and said with a smile, "Should I go and explain to His Highness Prince Xuan?"

Yun Chu glanced at him: "Don't let them kill you!"

This person had no idea what Xie Xuan was angry about, and still tried to explain. There's no one else like him!

Jiang Wanqiu: ...

Huo Qingjue said seriously, "If you ask me, you shouldn't spoil him. If he's angry and won't see you, you should ignore him too."

Although he didn't follow Yun Chuwei willingly, he knew that Yun Chuwei's status was unmatched among the noble ladies of the capital.

Not to mention, Yun Chuwei is still deeply favored by the Emperor.

In his opinion, if Prince Xuan dared to give Yun Chuwei a hard time, Yun Chuwei should ask His Majesty to change her betrothal partner.

Then we'll see King Xuan begging Yun Chuwei for help.

Jiang Wanqiu nodded repeatedly: "I think Brother Huo is right. Miss, you'd better get to know the other princes better, and see if Prince Xuan still dares to give you attitude!"

Yun Chuwei glanced at the two of them and said slowly, "His Majesty sent you to follow me, did he mean to have you teach me how to do things?"

Upon hearing this, the two quickly waved their hands, saying, "No, no!"

His Majesty's meaning is clear: they are to follow Yun Chuwei, obey her orders, and protect her safety.

How could it be teaching Yun Chuwei how to do things?

Yun Chuwei tilted her head slightly and said slowly, "Then stop coming up with bad ideas and go back!"

Huo Qingjue could only instruct the coachman to go to the Marquis's residence.

-

The next day, Huo Qingjue sent a message to Yun Chuwei, saying that Yue Jingsheng had gone out to a restaurant.

Yun Chuwei nodded and instructed, "Go and take your men to the restaurant immediately!"

Huo Qingjue didn't know much about Yun Chuwei and her actions, so he was a little puzzled: "What are you going to the restaurant for?"

Yun Chuwei said casually, "Arrest them!"

Huo Qingjue: ...

Is there any reason to arrest people like this?

Before he could say anything more, Yun Chuwei had already turned and left.

Before leaving, she only left him with the words, "I'm going now, you'd better hurry!"

Huo Qingjue opened her mouth, but couldn't utter any words of rebuttal.

He could only leave quickly and go back to get help.

-

After leaving the house, Yun Chuwei headed straight for the restaurant that Huo Qingjue had mentioned.

She had just entered the restaurant when she saw Yue Jingsheng.

Yue Jingsheng naturally saw Yun Chuwei as well. Or rather, Yue Jingsheng heard that Yun Chuwei was coming this way, so he specially came out of the private room to see Yun Chuwei.

Yun Chuwei had a terrible reputation in the capital at this time, and many people would whisper among themselves when they saw her.

However, this was only said in private; no one dared to speak to her in person.

Yue Jingsheng, however, dared to do it!

He is the Empress's nephew and the Crown Prince's cousin. In this capital city, he fears no one except His Majesty!

"Oh, isn't this Yun Chuwei, the jinx of the Marquis's mansion? How dare you go out? Aren't you afraid of bringing misfortune to everyone? Yun Chuwei, you can't be so selfish. If I were you, I would stay at home and not go out, so as not to bring disaster to everyone!" Yue Jingsheng said.

Upon hearing this, Yue Jingsheng's cronies all laughed and echoed his sentiments.

"Yes, yes, yes! Miss Yun, since you're a jinx, you can't be too selfish!"

"Go back quickly!"

...

Yun Chuwei smiled slightly as she quietly looked at Yue Jingsheng.

At this moment, Huo Qingjue led a team of Embroidered Uniform Guards to Yun Chuwei's back.
