Upon hearing this, Huo Qingjue said, "You mean Luo Jifeng? Actually, it's nothing much. He just committed a minor offense and I imprisoned him in the imperial prison. Miss said this jade pendant was unique, so she asked me to bring it over!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Xian glared at Yun Chuwei.

How did you find out about Luo Jifeng?

Yun Chu raised an eyebrow: "You mean Luo Jifeng? I don't know him! I just feel like he can change Father's mind. I wonder if I've made the right bet?"

Luo Jifeng was Yun Lianhua's biological brother in her previous life.

Later, when Luo Jifeng tried to harm Xie Sheng, she intervened and killed him. It was because of this incident that Yun Lianhua faked her death.

Since Yun Lianhua is Yun Xian's biological daughter, she guessed:

Luo Jifeng is also Yun Xian's son. And Luo Jifeng's mother, Luo An, and He Ning's sister, He An, are the same person.

In hindsight, she was right.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xian tried to calm herself down and said, "I don't know what you're talking about! I don't know Luo Jifeng at all."

Yun Chu smiled slightly and said to Huo Qingjue, "Did you hear that? My father said he doesn't know Luo Jifeng. Don't keep him alive, just kill him! Execute him first and report later!"

"Yes!" Huo Qingjue immediately agreed and turned to leave.

Yun Xian didn't expect Yun Chuwei to say that.

Seeing that Huo Qingjue was about to walk out the door, he could only say angrily, "Stop!"

Huo Qingjue turned around, glanced at Yun Xian with some disdain, and said, "My lord, can you just say what you have to say at once? I'm very busy and don't have time to keep you in suspense!"

Yun Xian ignored Huo Qingjue and looked at Yun Chuwei with hatred in his eyes.

"Yun Chuwei, what gives you the right to arrest Ji Feng?" Yun Xian asked unhappily.

Yun Chuwei smiled slightly: "I didn't arrest anyone, it was the Embroidered Uniform Guard who did! By the way, do the Embroidered Uniform Guard need a reason to arrest someone? I don't think so!"

As long as there is suspicion that a person has a problem, the Embroidered Uniform Guard has a reason to arrest him.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xian's expression darkened.

Yun Chuwei smiled and said slowly, "Of course, the Embroidered Uniform Guard needs a reason to kill someone! Do you think Luo Jifeng can withstand an investigation? His connections, his past statements, his background... it shouldn't be difficult to kill him, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Xian's face turned extremely grim.

"Yun Chuwei, how dare you!"

Yun Chuwei looked at Yun Xian with a calm expression: "Then do you want to try and see if I dare? I'm just afraid that when the time comes, death will be the end of everything, and it will be too late for you to regret it!"

Yun Xian gritted his teeth in hatred and asked, "If I do as you say, will you let him go? What if you go back on your word?"

Yun Chu smiled slightly: "What can you do? If you don't want to collect his body, you can only choose to trust me!"

Yun Xian's face was grim, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Yun Chuwei paused slightly before continuing, "If you truly need a guarantee, then I swear on my Dao heart that as long as you do as I say, Luo Jifeng will be safe and sound. If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning and die!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Xian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He had heard that these Taoists valued oaths the most, and Yun Chuwei dared to make such an oath, so she must be sincere.

In truth, now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to trust Yun Chuwei.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I will do as you say. Remember what you said!"

Yun Chuwei stood up with great satisfaction: "Father just said firmly that he wouldn't help me and my second brother, but now it seems that Father is a good person! I believe my second brother will definitely thank Father when he gets out!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Xian felt a surge of anger that was difficult to quell.

"Pfft—" He spat out a mouthful of blood and then fainted.

Yun Chuwei looked at Yun Xian, who was lying on the rocking chair, with a smile in her eyes.

The maids nearby panicked, some helping the person up, others calling for a doctor, and still others notifying the steward.

In no time, Yun Xian's courtyard was in complete chaos.

Yun Chuwei and Huo Qingjue left amidst the chaos.

"Who is Luo Jifeng?" Huo Qingjue asked in a low voice as he followed Yun Chuwei.

Yun Chuwei said directly, "Yun Xian's illegitimate son."

Huo Qingjue was somewhat surprised and asked, "How did you know?"

"Just a guess!"

Huo Qingjue was at a loss for words.

Yun Chuwei then asked him, "Can messages be sent into the Ministry of Justice's prison cells?"

Huo Qingjue said seriously, "If it's about saving people, perhaps I can't. But if it's just about sending a message, I can!"

The Embroidered Uniform Guard, acting as His Majesty's eyes and ears, had planted spies in various departments.

Although I can't do much, I can still pass on messages or something.

Yun Chuwei whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Send a message to Yun Zheng, saying that I've made arrangements, and that he should do as His Highness the Crown Prince and the others say, without resisting. Perhaps then we can even pin a charge of torture on the Ministry of Justice!"

Huo Qingjue nodded slightly upon hearing this, then, as if remembering something, said, "Why don't you give me a token? Otherwise, I'm afraid the Second Young Master won't believe me!"

Yun Chu raised an eyebrow: "A token?"

She felt that she couldn't find a token to keep.

Huo Qingjue looked Yun Chuwei up and down, then fell silent.

The woman before him possessed an elegant and refined demeanor that commanded respect and inspired no contempt.

But upon closer inspection, she was dressed in a blue robe, her long black hair tied up high with a sandalwood hairpin, and loose strands of hair falling around her forehead and temples.

Its ethereal quality and unparalleled color are entirely supported by its inherent qualities, without the slightest embellishment.

Apart from the white jade Qiankun Ring on his wrist, there was not a single piece of gold, silver, or jewels on his body.

Asking her to produce a token would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Yun Chuwei thought for a moment and said, "Go and get the token from Nineteen. They've been together for a long time, so they must know what kind of token to give."

Huo Qingjue nodded quickly: "You're right, then I'll go first!"

After saying that, Huo Qingjue suddenly left.

-

The Ministry of Justice quickly arranged for a trial to hear the case of Yun Zheng's patricide.

When the court session began, Xie Sheng and Xie Xuan both arrived.

Yun Chuwei and Yun Xian were naturally asked to come up to the hall.

Yun Xian appeared in court as the aggrieved party, while Yun Chuwei was the mastermind.

When Xie Sheng saw Yun Chuwei in court, he smiled mockingly.

Yun Lianhua appeared with her.

Yun Lianhua stood directly next to Yun Chuwei and whispered, "Sister, His Highness the Crown Prince told me that you instructed Second Brother to kill Father. Is that true?"

Yun Chuwei glanced at Yun Lianhua and said slowly, "Yun Lianhua, have I ever told you that your pretentious behavior is disgusting?"

Yun Lianhua: ...

She covered her face and said, "Sister, I just wanted to advise you! If you admit your mistake soon, Father and I will forgive you!"
