Early the next morning.
When the servants attending to Yunhui saw that Yunhui had not woken up by midday, they went into the room to check on her. They found Yunhui lying on the bed with a deathly pale face, and the maid immediately screamed.
"What's wrong? Why hasn't Your Highness gotten up yet?"
Upon hearing the commotion, Yunwei rushed over and saw the little maid trembling with fear, pointing towards the door, "Your Highness... Your Highness has fainted."
"What! Quickly, summon the imperial physician."
Yunwei rushed in with a worried expression. Even though she knew it was all planned, her heart still skipped a beat when she saw Yunhui's pale face.
"Big sister, don't worry." Yun Hui winked at Yun Wei. "I put on the powder on my face in the middle of the night. I've already told the doctor about it, and no one else knows about it."
Seeing this, Yunwei breathed a heavy sigh of relief. "You should rest well these next few days. Is that maidservant of yours trustworthy?"
“It’s believable, but I didn’t tell her because I was afraid she would be targeted.”
The family physician soon arrived at the room. After taking the pulse, his expression was extremely grave. "The patriarch's pulse appears perfectly normal. I cannot detect any problems."
"If we can't find out anything, what use is the Yun family to keep you?" Yun Wei roared, making the surrounding servants somewhat intimidated. "You stay here, the rest of you go find a good doctor for Luo Ming."
When the news of Yun Hui's unconsciousness spread, some people in Luoming became uneasy. After all, Yun Wei had just arrived in Luoming, and Yun Hui had just gotten into trouble. Many people couldn't help but connect the two events and believed that Yun Wei was responsible for Yun Hui's death.
In the afternoon, a group of people barged into the Yun residence.
"The Yun family's guards couldn't even stop one person?" Yun Wei glanced at the guards beside her. It seemed that even the servants in the Yun mansion thought she had harmed Yun Hui, so they didn't bother to stop her at all.
"Stop spreading rumors here. You are from a noble family, while we Luoming are from Dayu. So you came here with ill intentions." A leader of the people spoke angrily. "You took advantage of the prince's trust to attack him. We Luoming have finally achieved a peaceful life. If you want to destroy this peace, we will never forgive you."
“Yes, since you are from a noble family, go back to your noble family and don’t stay in our Luoming.”
"Don't think that just because the patriarch is in a coma, you can act like a tyrant in Luoming. We still have the troops of Dayu stationed here."
Looking at the people of Luoming who had completely submitted to Dayu, Yunwei felt a slight ripple in her heart.
The people's words reached Yun Wei's ears, and the expression on Yun Wei's face was a half-smile, "You say that I, Yun Wei, am abusing my power?"
"But don't forget, I am also a member of the Yun family, and the blood of the Yun family flows in my veins."
As Yun Wei finished speaking, everyone present fell silent for a moment.
Yun Wei held up a jade pendant that everyone was familiar with. "You must all be familiar with this jade pendant. If I really harmed the prince, why would he hand this jade pendant to me as soon as I arrived in Luoming?"
"You probably stole this jade pendant from the prince."
"Nonsense!" Yunhui's maidservant spoke up. "The prince never takes the jade pendant off his person. If it's in someone else's hands, it must have been given to him by the prince himself."
"All of you, go back now and do what you were supposed to do." Yun Wei's face also turned cold. "As for the Prince, I will find a doctor to treat him."
"Also, I will handle all of Luoming's affairs during this period."
After saying that, Yunwei ignored everyone's reactions and went straight back to the courtyard.
The next day, Yunwei received a letter from the Gong family.
"Madam, should we reply to the old lady?"
"I won't reply."
Yun Wei calmly said, "Remember, you don't need to reply to any news or letters about the Gong family after this."
"What if the old lady and the others hold us accountable later?"
"They... have no chance to be held accountable."
Yun Wei curled the corners of her lips. As long as she firmly held onto Luo Ming's power, the Gong family would definitely be anxious to contact her.
She didn't respond, which is why the Gong family might send someone over.
"By the way, tell the guards stationed in Luoming that they cannot let anyone from the Gong family into Luoming unless they are their master."
"yes."
After the air quieted down, Yunwei slowly brewed herself a cup of tea. Smelling the familiar aroma of tea, Yunwei smiled from the bottom of her heart.
Aunt Zhu used to teach her that in critical moments she should be willing to risk everything, and isn't that what she's doing now?
......
The Pei family.
"Patriarch, I heard that Luo Ming has been taken control of by Yun Wei."
Pei Jian smiled knowingly. "Indeed, the power of bloodlines can be quite formidable sometimes. Do you think that if it weren't for Yun Wei, anyone else could have poisoned Yun Hui so easily?"
"What the patriarch says is true, but the patriarch is wise to have told Old Madam Yun about this brilliant plan in advance."
"Alright, stop flattering me."
Despite this, Pei Jian still wore a smug smile. Once the Gong family took over the Yun family, they would inevitably become a thorn in the side of Dayu, which would give the Pei family some breathing room.
Time is now priceless to him, and the Pei family must hold out until the Empress Dowager of Dayu gives birth.
At that time, a major upheaval will inevitably occur in Chongqing.
"I don't know why, but my right eyelid has been twitching lately," Pei Jian said, pressing his eyelid. "What's been happening with the young master lately?"
"Returning home, Master, the young master has been refining medicine."
“My daughter is kind-hearted and has an exceptional talent for alchemy, but she’s not suited to manage the Pei family.” Pei Jian sighed softly. “Sometimes I really don’t know what to do.”
"The head of the family has his own arrangements."
Pei Jian's eyes gradually turned cold. For the sake of the Pei family, he could not only cherish that little bit of blood ties.
He needs to start looking for a new successor.
Meanwhile, the Gong family, having received no reply from Yun Wei, showed no sign of joy whatsoever.
"Mother, why hasn't Yunwei replied to our letters?" The head of the Gong family asked with a complicated expression. "Could it be that she didn't receive our letters at all?"
"Yunwei has already grasped the fact that the Yun family is a done deal. All of us have confirmed this information," Old Madam Gong said slowly. "In that case, we can only send someone to Luoming and say that things have been a bit unsettled there recently, and that we would like to visit the young mistress."
"Who should we send?"
"Just send any servant; they only need to see Yunwei once."
Old Madam Gong was still somewhat wary. "This Yun Wei is ruthless. She actually managed to take over the Yun family. It's no wonder that I, this old woman, have nurtured her for so long."
"It was my mother who taught me the best."
