Upon hearing this, Xie Xin moved closer to Yun Chuwei again.
She hugged him and then said, "Can I sleep with you tonight? I'll think about it!"
Yun Chuwei: ...
"I'd like to ask, do I need to think about this question?"
Xie Xin replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, making such a decision takes courage. You can give me immense courage!"
Yun Chuwei's lips twitched slightly, but she didn't say anything, just let Xie Xin hold her.
-
Yun Chuwei thought she would hear Xie Xin's answer the next day.
Unexpectedly, when she woke up the next day, she did not see Xie Xin.
It seemed that the person had left while she was asleep, so Yun Chuwei didn't mind.
Yun Chuwei continued living her life as usual, while hoping for news from Xie Sheng.
When several cases of witchcraft and sorcery were reported in the capital, Yun Chuwei knew that the storm was finally coming.
On this day, Yun Chuwei was originally summoned to the palace.
Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the palace gates, they were told that they did not need to enter the palace.
That was an imperial decree personally delivered by Sun Jiasheng, saying that His Majesty was too busy to see her today.
This is the first time.
Yun Chuwei didn't say anything and planned to return to her residence.
At this moment, Xie Sheng appeared.
Yun Chuwei bowed to Xie Sheng and turned to leave.
Xie Sheng stepped forward and stopped Yun Chuwei.
Do you know why Father Emperor has no time to see you?
Yun Chuwei raised an eyebrow: "Isn't it normal that His Majesty is too busy with state affairs to see me?"
Xie Sheng sneered: "You're really optimistic. Little do you know, you're about to lose your father's favor!"
Xie Sheng paused deliberately at this point.
He was expecting Yun Chuwei to press him for answers, but to his surprise, Yun Chuwei walked past him and was about to leave.
Xie Sheng frowned in displeasure, but stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "A few days ago, I recommended Lin Ji, the sorcerer who has been making waves in the capital, to Father Emperor. Today, Father Emperor summoned Lin Ji. The two had a very pleasant conversation, and I'm afraid they'll forget about you in the future. Chuwei, have you thought this through? If you stand with me now, I can guarantee that you can do whatever you want from now on!"
If she refuses, he will have no choice but to imprison her.
Upon hearing the name Lin Ji, Yun Chuwei could confirm that things were indeed developing in the same direction as in her previous life.
In his previous life, the entire Xuanwang family was massacred, and this Lin Jike was inextricably linked to it.
Those things that prove Xie Xuan used witchcraft against the emperor should have come from Lin Ji, and then Jiang Wanqiu and Huo Qingjue put them into the Xuan Prince's mansion.
Therefore, it is highly likely that Lin Ji was one of Emperor Tianqi's men from the very beginning.
Xie Sheng certainly didn't know Lin Ji this early in his previous life.
It seems that Xie Sheng used his memories from his previous life to find Lin Ji in advance and then introduced Lin Ji to the emperor.
Furthermore, in his previous life, Lin Ji's goal was the Xuan Prince's Mansion.
In this life, she managed to get Xie Xuan away, but who is his target now?
She was starting to look forward to it.
Xie Sheng frowned in displeasure when he saw the mocking smile on Yun Chuwei's face.
"Chuwei..." Xie Sheng wanted to say something, but Yun Chuwei interrupted him.
Yun Chu smiled slightly: "Your Highness, the game has officially begun. I hope you are fully prepared."
Xie Sheng was taken aback, not understanding what Yun Chuwei meant by those words.
Yun Chuwei said no more.
-
Three days later, Emperor Tianqi suddenly suffered from a splitting headache.
On that day, Lin Ji led his men to search the inner palace and found witchcraft items. His Majesty's headache improved somewhat, but he was still in pain.
Emperor Tianqi, in order to recuperate and to facilitate Lin Ji's efforts to eliminate witchcraft and sorcery throughout the palace, arranged for his journey to the Hot Spring Palace.
A eunuch delivered an imperial decree to Yun Chuwei, ordering her to accompany the emperor.
After receiving the imperial decree, Yun Chuwei went to see her grandmother and mother immediately.
The old lady found it strange: "His Majesty has a headache, he should be resting. Why did you come to accompany him?"
No matter how capable her daughter Weiwei is, she is still a beautiful young girl.
When the emperor falls ill and goes to recuperate, why doesn't he bring his concubines to serve him? Why does he bring his little girl instead?
He Ning nodded repeatedly: "What Your Majesty did was indeed inappropriate."
Yunmo, who was standing to the side, also felt very uncomfortable.
Looking at the three people who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, Yun Chuwei smiled and said, "Your Majesty is not ill."
She paused for a moment and then explained, "It's not that I'm not sick, but I'm not sick enough to need to go to the palace to recuperate!"
Upon hearing this, the old lady's eyes widened: "You mean, he's faking illness? Using this as an excuse to go to the palace? What does he want to do?"
The more the old lady talked, the more she felt something was wrong.
"There's definitely something wrong with this emperor. How could a powerful ruler who conquered the world and possessed the aura of a true dragon be afraid of a little bit of witchcraft? How could a little bit of witchcraft possibly harm him? But why did he send that Lin Ji around to clean up some witchcraft?"
The old lady shook her head, feeling that something was wrong.
Yun Chu smiled slightly. As they say, old ginger is spicier; her own grandmother really saw the crux of the problem at a glance.
"His Majesty not only took action himself, but also mobilized troops!" Yun Chuwei added quietly.
The old woman felt even more uneasy: "What exactly does he want to do?"
Yun Chu smiled slightly and said, "Grandmother, I think we have no say in what His Majesty wants to do. The question is, what should we do?"
The old lady nodded hurriedly: "Yes, you're right! Yunmo, starting today, take a headcount of the people in the mansion, divide the guards and servants into groups of three, have them work and rest at the same time, supervise each other, and report any abnormalities immediately. Strengthen the guards and patrols in all places, strictly control entry and exit, and report any unusual occurrences."
Yun Chuwei added, "Most importantly, be careful of anything related to witchcraft."
The old lady nodded: "Yes, you're right!"
Upon hearing this, Yunmo immediately went to do it.
The old lady then took Yun Chuwei's hand and whispered, "Are you really going to the imperial palace?"
"The imperial decree has arrived, ordering me to accompany the Emperor. How could I refuse?" Yun Chu smiled.
Hearing this, the old lady could only sigh and then said, "Then be careful!"
Yun Chuwei smiled slightly: "Grandmother, don't worry. Don't you know me? Even if I can't do anything, I can still protect myself."
The old lady nodded, agreeing with her granddaughter's assessment.
Before leaving, Yun Chuwei looked at her mother.
He Ning didn't speak, but his eyes were full of worry as he looked at Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei said, "Mother, don't worry, I can protect myself. Mother, please take good care of yourself and Grandmother at home!"
He Ning nodded gently: "Then we'll wait for you to come back!"
-
After Yun Chuwei went out, she got into the carriage.
She never expected that as soon as she lifted the carriage curtain, she would be pulled into a warm embrace.
When she looked up, she found that the person holding her in his arms was Xie Xuan.
Yun Chuwei: ...
