When Yun Chuwei came out of the delivery room, Xie Xin, who had been waiting outside the back door, went to greet her.
Clearly, she also knew what was happening inside the delivery room. She reached out and patted Yun Chuwei's shoulder, asking gently, "Are you alright?"
Yun Chuwei gently shook her head to indicate that she was fine.
"By the way, where is Yun Qianming? Please help me take him into custody. I'll interrogate him myself later!" Yun Chuwei said.
Xie Xin immediately agreed.
"I'm going to see His Majesty!" Yun Chuwei said, and walked towards the entrance of the East Palace.
Yun Chuwei left the East Palace and went directly to the Imperial Study.
In the imperial study, only Emperor Tianqi was there. He leaned back in his chair, his head hanging low, looking both defeated and sorrowful.
Clearly, news of Cui Yuetuan's affair had reached him.
Yun Chuwei knelt before Emperor Tianqi and said directly, "Your Majesty, please issue an edict to thoroughly investigate the matter of Cui Yuetuan. I suspect that she was framed!"
Emperor Tianqi raised his head, looked at Yun Chuwei, and his expression changed slightly.
"Do you know what you're saying?" Emperor Tianqi's face was gloomy and his tone was cold.
Yun Chuwei spoke again: "I know! The person I suspect is Yun Qianming!"
Emperor Tianqi frowned.
"Do you know that Cui Yuetuan's food, clothing, and lodging are all personally managed by my people? Everything she touches or ingests is handled by female physicians. It's impossible for anyone to tamper with these things!" Emperor Tianqi said with absolute certainty. "As for Yun Qianming..."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "That was just something Cui Yuetuan played with for fun. I also sent people to keep an eye on him. It's impossible for him to do anything about it."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei fell silent.
Was she really wrong? But...
Seeing that Yun Chuwei remained silent, Emperor Tianqi asked, "Even after hearing what I have to say, do you still hold onto your own opinion?"
"Yes!" Yun Chuwei kowtowed again. "Your Majesty, I request that you issue an order to thoroughly investigate this matter!"
Emperor Tianqi waved his hand: "Get up. I will issue an edict immediately, as you wish, to thoroughly investigate this matter."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Yun Chuwei said.
After receiving the imperial edict, Yun Chuwei planned to leave.
Emperor Tianqi suddenly asked, "Don't you suspect me about Cui Yuetuan's death?"
Yun Chuwei stood there for a moment, pondering, and then answered truthfully, "I am on good terms with Cui Yuetuan. Your Majesty should want Cui Yuetuan to live, right?"
Emperor Tianqi remained silent.
He hoped that the throne would eventually return to the lineage of the deposed crown prince, namely Cui Yuetuan's son.
Yun Chuwei and Cui Yuetuan are on good terms. If Cui Yuetuan were still alive, Yun Chuwei would support Cui Yuetuan's son for his sake.
If Cui Yuetuan were to die, things might be different.
There are many examples of people becoming indifferent after leaving a relationship.
Therefore, he did hope that Cui Yuetuan would live.
It's just a pity...
Emperor Tianqi waved his hand: "Go!"
When Yun Chuwei returned to the East Palace, the Cui family had already arrived.
Jiang Wanqiu was talking to the Cui family when she saw Yun Chuwei, and then she walked towards Yun Chuwei.
He came to Yun Chuwei's side and whispered, "Her food, clothing, and shelter are all taken care of perfectly."
Yun Chuwei narrowed her eyes. This outcome was exactly what Emperor Tianqi had said.
Jiang Wanqiu glanced at the Huo family members, her tone becoming somewhat heavy: "If we need to continue the investigation, then we must dissect the body. Do we really want to continue the investigation?"
Yun Chuwei handed the imperial edict to Jiang Wanqiu: "I hope to continue the investigation, and His Majesty has agreed. Of course, it still depends on the Cui family. If they are unwilling, then let it go."
If the investigation here fails, then we should use torture to extract a confession from Yun Qianming; perhaps we can find some clues that way.
Jiang Wanqiu lowered her head and finished reading the Emperor's edict, then said in a low voice, "Let me ask the Cui family. If they disagree, we'll think of another way!"
Yun Chuwei nodded in agreement.
Jiang Wanqiu bowed and then returned to the Cui family's side.
Although Yun Chuwei was standing quite far away, she could still hear the conversation between Jiang Wanqiu and the Cui family.
The Cui family naturally disagreed at first.
"How can we dissect the body? Are we going to make sure Yueyue can't even rest in peace after her death?"
Upon hearing this news, Cui's mother's body went limp, and she would have fainted long ago if it weren't for the maids and nannies supporting her.
She spoke with heartbreaking grief, her face streaked with tears, her heart breaking.
Mr. Cui calmed down a bit.
He first instructed the maids and servants to take Cui's mother to a side hall to rest, and then glanced at Yun Chuwei.
He withdrew his gaze and then asked Jiang Wanqiu, "Miss Yun, are you sure?"
Jiang Wanqiu hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's precisely because we can't be sure that we need to perform an autopsy to confirm. However, Miss Yun firmly believes she won't make a mistake!"
Jiang Wanqiu felt that if Yun Chuwei hadn't firmly believed in it, she wouldn't have asked His Majesty to write a decree.
Mr. Cui closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time before finally exhaling a breath of stale air.
He said, "I trust Miss Yun's judgment. You... dissect the body..."
Jiang Wanqiu also let out a breath. He bowed to Cui's father and said, "Father-in-law, please go in and keep Mother-in-law company. I will go and make preparations now. I will inform Father-in-law as soon as there is a result!"
Mr. Cui nodded: "Go ahead!"
After Jiang Wanqiu left, Cui's father stood there motionless.
He glanced at Yun Chuwei's direction every now and then, but never went over to her.
He didn't know why Yun Chuwei had such thoughts, but he hoped that Yun Chuwei was right.
Otherwise, his wife might not forgive him.
Yun Chuwei didn't move either, standing quietly in place.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Xin approached Yun Chuwei and whispered, "Before Cui Yuetuan went into labor, she sent Yun Qianming outside the palace and locked him up. When we arrived, Yun Qianming had already escaped. I've sealed off the capital and am searching for him. We haven't found him yet!"
Yun Chuwei frowned slightly but said nothing.
Xie Xin continued, "I've already increased the manpower. As long as he hasn't escaped from the capital, we'll definitely be able to bring him back!"
"Okay!" Yun Chu nodded slightly and responded calmly.
Xie Xin knew that Yun Chuwei wanted to investigate whether Cui Yuetuan had been murdered, so she asked, "How's the investigation going?"
Just as Yun Chuwei was about to speak, she saw Jiang Wanqiu hurriedly walk out of the room.
He approached Yun Chuwei and, without waiting for her to ask, lowered his voice and said, "It's a Gu worm!"
Xie Xin's eyes widened: "What do you mean?"
Mr. Cui, who was standing nearby, also came over, looked at Jiang Wanqiu, and waited for his answer.
"A Gu worm from Miao territory has been implanted within Cui Yue's group! It's because of the Gu worm that the hemorrhage is occurring!" Jiang Wanqiu said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Cui's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Who? Who exactly harmed my Yue'er!" Father Cui's eyes reddened, his heart filled with anger.
Yun Chuwei was calmer than she had imagined.
She looked at Jiang Wanqiu and asked, "Will that Gu worm affect the child?"
