Xie Xin had actually been following Yun Chuwei around all along, so he had naturally seen how Yun Chuwei interrogated Yun Qianming.
She remained in shock until she met Yun Chuwei's gaze, at which point she snapped back to reality.
She said to Yun Chuwei, "I'm going to arrest them!"
After saying that, Xie Xin left in a hurry.
Yun Chuwei looked at Yun Qianming and continued, "Will the Gu worm affect the fetus?"
"The palace maid said that the poison would enter the fetus through the mother's body. If there is no antidote, the baby will show signs of premature death within half a month after birth and die within a month."
"According to that palace maid, the Gu worm entered Cui Yue's group silently and without anyone noticing. It's common for women to experience postpartum hemorrhage. No one would discover the Gu worm, and naturally, no one would notice the Gu poison in the infant's body."
Yun Qianming paused for a moment, then continued, "That's all I know. Please let me go!"
Yun Chuwei didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
Huo Qingjue then ordered two Embroidered Uniform Guards: "Lock him up and wait until His Majesty is informed before deciding what to do with him!"
After saying that, Huo Qingjue left with Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei went directly to the East Palace.
She relayed Yun Qianming's words to Jiang Wanqiu.
Jiang Wanqiu frowned slightly, then said, "The infant's blood does indeed contain toxins, but I cannot neutralize them."
At this moment, Xie Xin arrived in a hurry.
"That palace maid died, committing suicide out of fear of punishment. Her residence was burned down, and she couldn't take anything with her!" Xie Xin said.
Yun Chuwei's face darkened; she hadn't expected the trail to end here.
"Where is Consort Xi?"
Xie Xin shook her head and sighed softly, "She's really gone mad; you won't get anything out of her!"
Yun Chuwei remained silent for a moment, then said, "Let's go, come with me to see His Majesty."
-
Upon hearing Yun Chuwei and the others' accounts, Emperor Tianqi was so angry that he smashed a teacup.
Accompanying Yun Chuwei and the others to see Emperor Tianqi was Cui's father.
Emperor Tianqi's father rarely saw him angry. He knelt on the ground, head bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The most urgent matter is to save the young imperial grandson!"
Emperor Tianqi gradually calmed down and looked at Yun Chuwei: "What are your thoughts?"
Yun Chuwei pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps we need to take the young prince to Miao territory. I believe their chances of success lie in the southwest!"
Emperor Tianqi clenched his fist across his desk and slowly said, "Take Huo Qingjue and Jiang Wanqiu with you and make the trip yourself."
"Your subject obeys!"
"His Majesty……"
The others wanted to say something, but were interrupted by a glance from the Apocalypse Emperor.
"That's the decision!"
Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to retreat.
After leaving the Imperial Study, Yun Chuwei immediately began making arrangements for her trip.
On the one hand, there are affairs in the court that need to be arranged; on the other hand, traveling with an infant requires a lot of preparation.
Three days later, Yun Chuwei led a group of people south.
A dozen days later, Yun Chuwei arrived at Yongyang City, a city on the outskirts of Miao territory.
Yun Chuwei never expected to see Xie Xuan in Yongyang City.
The man in my memory stood outside the city gate with his black hair tied up high, his black brocade robe with gold embroidery making him look noble and upright.
The youthful spirit remains, his features unchanged. However, his overall demeanor has undergone a slight transformation, as if weathered by time, making him appear more composed and mature.
After he left, Yun Chuwei often thought of him.
She didn't know that feeling was longing until now.
That is longing, like a waterfall cascading three thousand feet, surging and unstoppable.
A thousand words choked in her throat, and in the end she could only utter six.
"Xie Xuan, it's been a long time!"
