Yun Chuwei respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. Prince Xuan returned in such a hurry that he did not retrieve the marriage certificate, so I sent the two of them to fetch it. However, they should not have left the city yet, so Your Majesty can still call them back if you wish."
Emperor Tianqi said lazily, "No need. Since you want them to go, then let them go. But do you know what to do next regarding matters in the capital?"
Yun Chu pursed her lips and slowly said, "If the emperor makes a mistake, it may be necessary to issue an edict of self-reproach?"
Emperor Tianqi nodded with great satisfaction: "You shall draft this edict!"
Yun Chuwei nodded: "As you command."
Emperor Tianqi waved his hand, signaling her to leave: "Let Xie Xuan come to see me!"
-
After Yun Chuwei left the Imperial Study, she asked Xie Xuan to go see Emperor Tianqi.
Xie Xuan didn't say anything, just smiled at Yun Chu, and then prepared to walk inside.
Yun Chuwei reached out and grasped Xie Xuan's hand.
She looked at him, a hint of worry in her eyes.
Xie Xuan said gently, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Yun Chuwei then released him.
After Xie Xuan entered the Imperial Study, Yun Chuwei did not leave, but stood there waiting for him.
Soon, what she feared happened.
Soon, the sounds of arguing filled the Imperial Study. Of course, it was mostly His Majesty speaking, with Xie Xuan only offering a few words of response at crucial moments.
However, Xie Xuan's words sounded very firm and unyielding, showing no sign of backing down.
She rarely saw Xie Xuan speak to others like that.
Yun Chuwei couldn't help but smile. It seemed that this person had never let go of the things from his previous life.
If the culprit in his previous life had been someone else, perhaps he could have taken action to get revenge.
But that happened to be his father, the emperor.
A person who gave him life and, in a sense, fatherly love.
Yun Chuwei heard the last part, and it seemed that Emperor Tianqi told Xie Xuan to get lost and not to come back.
Yun Chu lowered her head slightly, looking somewhat helpless.
Xie Xuan came out very quickly.
He pulled Yun Chuwei up and walked out.
Suddenly, Sun Jiasheng, who had come running out, said, "Miss Yun, please wait."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan released Yun Chuwei and walked forward alone.
Yun Chuwei turned to look at Sun Jiasheng and asked with a smile, "What brings you here, Eunuch Sun?"
Sun Jiasheng glanced at Xie Xuan, who had walked away, before speaking, "Miss Yun, why don't you try to persuade His Highness Prince Xuan? Actually, His Majesty is most soft-hearted right now. He just needs to soften his stance. Why must he suffer in a place like the border?"
Yun Chuwei was somewhat surprised: "Did the Prince of Xuan propose going to the border?"
Sun Jiasheng nodded hurriedly: "That's right! I really don't know what His Highness Prince Xuan is thinking. He and the Crown Prince are brothers, but he wouldn't go to such lengths for the Crown Prince, would he? He's clearly ruining his own future!"
Yun Chuwei understood that Xie Xuan had used the Crown Prince's matter to start a dispute with Emperor Tianqi.
They all thought Xie Xuan clashed with Emperor Tianqi because of the Crown Prince, but only she knew that Xie Xuan did it for her past life.
Yun Chuwei felt somewhat helpless; this was an unsolvable problem in itself.
Not hearing Yun Chuwei's reply, Sun Jiasheng couldn't help but ask, "Miss Yun, what I said..."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I understand! If there's nothing else, I'll be going now!"
Sun Jiasheng said respectfully, "Miss Yun, please take care!"
Yun Chu nodded slightly, then turned and left.
She walked a short distance forward and came to a corner when Xie Xuan suddenly pulled her into his arms.
He pulled her into his arms, rested his head on her shoulder, and whispered, "I didn't really say anything. I just asked him why he wouldn't see the Crown Prince, why he wouldn't give the Crown Prince a chance to explain, and why he just watched the Crown Prince die. Is everyone less important than what he wants to do?"
Yun Chuwei chuckled softly, "You asked everything you should and shouldn't have asked, and you still say you didn't ask anything? Xie Xuan, you really are... what should I say about you?"
Xie Xuan remained silent. He released Yun Chuwei and looked at her: "Do you also think I shouldn't have asked these questions?"
Yun Chuwei shook her head: "I think you should ask if you want to. If you want revenge, I can help you. We'll do our best to take him down..."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan reached out and pressed his hand to her lips.
He glanced around to make sure no one else was there, then whispered, "Yun Chuwei, are you out of your mind? You dare to say anything!"
Yun Chuwei pulled his hand away and said with a smile, "What's there to be afraid of? If you're willing, let's do it, so you won't hold a grudge."
Xie Xuan pulled Yun Chuwei into his arms again, holding her tightly, and whispered, "You only said that because you're sure I won't become a traitor, right? He's ruthless to us, but he's quite good to you."
In her previous life, she was engaged to the Crown Prince, so he was unharmed.
In this life, he was the one engaged to her, so he was safe and sound.
That person treated Yun Chuwei so well, how could Yun Chuwei really rebel against him?
Yun Chu smiled slightly: "I'm asking you to let go, but you can't. I'm asking you to go to extremes, but you can't do it. Tell me yourself, what do you want to do?"
Xie Xuan pursed her lips for a moment before speaking seriously, "I might need to calm down."
"Is this your reason for going to guard the frontier?" Yun Chuwei asked.
Xie Xuan nodded seriously: "Yes! Weiwei, will you blame me?"
Yun Chuwei shook her head: "No. You've been looking preoccupied since yesterday, it's good for you to go out and clear your head! Come back soon, and we'll get married when you return, okay?"
It's good that Xie Xuan left the capital; at least it will make things easier for her and Xie Xin to carry out their plans.
"Okay," Xie Xuan replied earnestly.
-
That afternoon, while Yun Chuwei was helping Xie Xuan tidy up the Xuan Prince's residence, she saw Sun Jiasheng, who had come to deliver the imperial decree.
That was an imperial edict ordering Xie Xuan to guard the border.
Xie Xuan remained calm after receiving the imperial edict.
Seeing this, Sun Jiasheng said, "This servant takes her leave. His Majesty is waiting for this servant to return to the palace to report!"
As Sun Jiasheng spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Yun Chuwei.
"Take care, Eunuch Sun!" Xie Xuan said calmly.
Sun Jiasheng agreed without moving, still looking at Yun Chuwei.
Although Yun Chuwei was accompanying Xie Xuan in tidying up the Xuanwang Mansion, she actually sat to the side the whole time, watching Xie Xuan and the servants do their work.
Feeling somewhat helpless under Sun Jiasheng's gaze, she stood up from the recliner and said, "Shall I see Eunuch Sun off?"
Sun Jiasheng was satisfied and followed Yun Chuwei outside.
Once outside the door, Sun Jiasheng finally spoke, "My dear young lady, didn't I ask you to persuade Prince Xuan to go to the palace to apologize and back down? Why is there no movement at all? His Majesty waited for half a day and threw a huge tantrum before finally writing this imperial edict!"
