The news that Emperor Tianqi had sent Huo Qingjue and Jiang Wanqiu to pick up Yun Chuwei quickly spread throughout the capital.
After all, everyone saw Huo Qingjue leave the capital with his men.
Xie Che didn't intend to hide it, so he didn't order anyone to suppress the news.
He wanted to tell everyone that he had sent someone to pick up Yun Chuwei.
In fact, besides the people he had on the surface, he also had arrangements made in secret.
He wanted everyone to know that he wanted Yun Chuwei to return to the capital safely.
After leaving the Imperial Study, Empress Wang moved directly into the Eastern Palace.
With Emperor Tianqi's reminder, she knew she had to ensure the Crown Prince's safety!
While Empress Wang was guarding the Crown Prince, she received news that Emperor Tianqi had sent someone to meet Yun Chuwei.
She frowned and looked at the person who had given her the message: "You mean, His Majesty has sent another group of people to pick up Yun Chuwei?"
The man whispered, "On the surface, a batch has been sent out, but there are undercurrents of power in the capital. It seems His Majesty has sent more than just one batch."
Empress Wang's face darkened upon hearing this.
Why is it that Yun Chuwei, who caused such a stir by defecting to Goryeo, is still so highly regarded by Emperor Tianqi?
The man asked, "Should our men make a move?"
Empress Wang said, "Send a team to investigate. If there's an opportunity, then make your move. If not, then let it go!"
Upon hearing Empress Wang's words, the man quickly agreed and then hurriedly left.
Right there, the Empress's hand was grabbed.
Empress Wang turned to look at Xie Sheng on the bed, and her heart leaped with joy.
"Sheng'er, you're awake?"
Xie Sheng spoke in a low voice, "Mother!"
He has actually woken up occasionally these days, but only for a short time.
Waking up now feels much better than the past two days.
At this moment, Empress Wang showed a rare tenderness: "Sheng'er is alright, I'm here!"
Xie Sheng spoke with some difficulty: "Mother, Yun Chuwei must not be moved!"
Empress Wang was somewhat puzzled: "Why does Sheng'er say that?"
Xie Sheng naturally couldn't say directly that Yun Chuwei was his savior.
He began, "The reason why Father values Yun Chuwei so much is not only because she is a descendant of Prime Minister Yun, nor merely because she is the successor of the Sage of Strategy, but also..."
Xie Sheng coughed softly.
Empress Wang gently stroked Xie Sheng's back.
Xie Sheng paused for a moment, then continued, "When we're on campaign, Yun Chuwei's predictions always seem to bring good fortune and avert disaster. Xie Xin listens to her without question. But this was probably at Father Emperor's request!"
Empress Wang was slightly startled: "You mean, Yun Chuwei really has the abilities of a strategist like the Sage of Strife?"
Xie Sheng remained silent for a moment, then continued, "Mother, are you aware that Yun Chuwei often vomits blood due to the backlash she suffers?"
In his previous life, he often saw Yun Chuwei vomiting blood.
He also asked Yun Chuwei why this was happening.
At the time, Yun Chuwei simply said it was because of a backlash, without much concern.
He didn't care about her at the time, so naturally he didn't care about these things.
This time, however, because he ignored Yun Chuwei's assertion and chased after her, and after experiencing life and death, all the previous events gradually became clear in his heart.
"Spitting blood? Backlash?" Empress Wang's brow twitched slightly.
Xie Sheng nodded: "It seems to be related to Yun Chuwei revealing heavenly secrets!"
She suddenly remembered something and immediately sent someone to the Imperial Observatory.
Not long after, the man brought Mo Xu, the deputy director of the Imperial Observatory, to the East Palace.
When Mo Xu saw Empress Wang and the Crown Prince, he immediately bowed respectfully, his heart pounding with tension.
He actually had no relationship with the Empress and the Crown Prince, so he didn't know why they had summoned him.
Empress Wang asked directly, "Lord Mo, I've summoned you here because I have some matters I'd like to consult you about."
Mo Xu could only say, "Please speak, Your Majesty."
"I would like to ask, people like Lord Mo, aren't the things you do considered to be revealing heavenly secrets? Will Lord Mo suffer a backlash for this?" Empress Wang said.
Mo Xu relaxed a bit upon hearing this and said, "No!"
Upon hearing this, Empress Wang's face darkened, and she said coldly, "Is it that you can't do it, or are you just trying to gain fame but lack the ability? Why does Miss Yun often suffer backlash and repeatedly vomit blood?"
Empress Wang's voice was filled with anger.
The anger of those in high positions can naturally intimidate people.
Mo Xu knelt down with a thud and explained, "It's not that we lack ability, but that someone of Miss Yun's caliber is one in a hundred years."
Empress Wang's hand trembled slightly. After a moment of recovery, she asked, "Miss Yun... what level is it?"
Mo Xu lowered his head and said, "The level of a founding military strategist! It is said that such a person only appears when the world is in chaos or a dynasty undergoes a great upheaval!"
"Will people like this always suffer a backlash?" Xie Sheng pressed. "Is there any way to treat it?"
Empress Wang listened and gave Xie Sheng a strange look.
Mo Xu shook his head: "There probably isn't a cure; it's all fate!"
Empress Wang replied, "I understand. Lord Mo, you may leave now!"
Mo Xu quickly took his leave and hurriedly departed.
After leaving the East Palace, Mo Xu finally came to his senses.
He seemed to have been tricked into revealing information.
However, what he said was just the truth.
Moreover, Empress Wang and the Crown Prince clearly had suspicions, and they summoned him simply to confirm them.
This shouldn't be considered a crime, right?
-
Empress Wang summoned Mo Xu simply to confirm the matter.
Because Yun Chuwei worked at the Imperial Observatory, and the Imperial Observatory had a natural connection with Taoist priests, she thought of asking people at the Imperial Observatory for information.
She had been skeptical of Xie Sheng's words, but after seeing Mo Xu's reaction, she understood completely.
No wonder His Majesty values Yun Chuwei so much; it turns out Yun Chuwei has such great abilities.
She frowned unhappily, looked at Xie Sheng with some disdain: "If you hadn't refused the marriage in the first place, none of this would have happened?"
Xie Sheng looked ashamed: "Mother, I know I was wrong! Moreover, the reason I refused the marriage was because I was deceived. I have already reformed, and when Yun Chuwei returns, I will apologize to her properly. I am confident that she will forgive me!"
Empress Wang frowned slightly upon hearing this, then said, "Alright, let's do as you say!"
Anyway, the emperor is keeping a close eye on things now, so she definitely can't touch Yun Chuwei.
Empress Wang remembered something and asked, "By the way, what about Yun Lianhua?"
Xie Sheng thought of Yun Lianhua, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
He said, "I have already disposed of Yun Lianhua. Now, she is probably dead."
Empress Wang was very satisfied: "It's done! Yun Chuwei will be back in a few days. You can go and pick her up yourself!"
