Yue He rolled her eyes at her son and interrupted him somewhat displeasedly: "Don't talk nonsense! What did your aunt say? She didn't say anything!"
He naturally knew what Empress Wang had said.
The Empress wants to get rid of Yun Chuwei, or have the Crown Prince marry Yun Chuwei.
Regardless of which one, the first thing to do is to get His Majesty to retract his decree and cancel the engagement between Prince Xuan and Yun Chuwei.
His purpose in coming here today is to find an excuse to interfere in Yun Chuwei's affairs.
He hadn't expected Yun Chuwei to be so cooperative.
Now, he has an excuse to impeach Yun Chuwei. Perhaps tomorrow he can get His Majesty to dissolve the engagement between Yun Chuwei and Prince Xuan.
When the time comes, how to deal with Yun Chuwei will be entirely up to the Empress.
But how can these things be discussed openly?
His son has been so well protected by them that he seems a bit foolish.
Yue Jingsheng was inexplicably reprimanded, but dared not refute it, and could only awkwardly say, "I must have remembered it wrong!"
Yun Xian guessed what Yue Jingsheng meant.
He had a smile on his lips.
Since the Empress also intends to deal with Yun Chuwei, he can wait a little longer.
If the Empress had simply disposed of Yun Chuwei, it would have saved him a lot of trouble.

After Guiyan took Yunzheng to the doctor, she returned quickly because she was worried about Yun Chuwei. Just then, she overheard Yun Chuwei's assertion that Yue Jingsheng would be the root cause of the Yue family's extermination.
After leaving the main hall, she whispered to Yun Chuwei, "Miss, do you really know how to tell fortunes? Did you really foresee that Young Master Yue would lead to the extermination of the entire Yue family?"
Yun Chu smiled and said slowly, "The divination results are ever-changing; there's nothing fixed about them. Whether what I predict will come true or not, you'll find out when the time comes!"
A Taoist diviner must be extremely careful not to make arbitrary pronouncements.
Because some things that didn't exist before might happen if they were spoken about.
The saying goes, "Words become law."
If such a thing happens, it will often backfire on the diviner.
This is why most diviners dare not make arbitrary pronouncements.
But she's different. Backlashes are commonplace for her, so this one won't make a difference!
Upon hearing this, Guiyan glanced at Yun Chuwei and said, "Miss, is this what they said, just a charade?"
Yun Chuwei couldn't help but chuckle. She reached out and pinched Guiyan's cheek, saying, "You brat, what are you saying?"
Guiyan quickly begged for mercy: "Young Miss, please spare me!"
Yun Chuwei released Guiyan and said, "Let's go see how Second Brother is doing!"
Guiyan readily agreed and then led Yun Chuwei toward Yun Zheng's residence.
Soon, Yun Chuwei saw Yun Zheng lying on the bed.
Yun Chuwei asked the doctor beside her, "How is the Second Young Master?"
The doctor frowned and said, "Fortunately, the eldest young lady stopped the marquis in time, otherwise the second young master would have been crippled if not killed. Why did the marquis treat the second young master so cruelly?"
Yun Chuwei ignored the doctor's other words and said, "That means I won't die, and I won't be crippled!"
For Yun Chuwei, this was enough.
The doctor's lips twitched. He felt that the young lady seemed a bit too cold and heartless.
Even though the second young master was injured so badly, she didn't feel the slightest bit sad or upset; she only cared about the outcome.
But he finally nodded: "Take good care of him, there won't be any major problems. I'll go downstairs to get the second young master his medicine!"
Yun Chuwei nodded.
At this moment, Yun Zheng opened his eyes, lay on the couch, and looked at Yun Chuwei.
His lips moved slightly, and finally he said, "Thank you, little sister!"
Yun Chuwei looked at him, her voice calm: "Why are you thanking me when we're just siblings?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zheng's eyes reddened and tears fell.
Yun Chuwei: ...
Guiyan exclaimed, "Second Young Master, are you crying from the pain? Does it really hurt that much? Or are you just too weak, Second Young Master?"
Guiyan felt that her young lady was much stronger than anyone else, as she didn't even cry when she vomited blood and dared to drink a whole bowl of medicine in one gulp.
Yun Zheng: ...
How could he possibly cry because of pain?
He just felt wronged.
The father he had always tried to please wanted to beat him to a pulp.
Yun Chuwei, whom he had only met a few times, saved him.
Yun Chuwei wasn't good at comforting people. She also noticed that Guiyan wasn't good at comforting people either; on the contrary, she was particularly good at making Yun Zheng angry.
If Guiyan were allowed to stay, Yunzheng would probably be so angry he'd vomit blood.
So she said, "Don't overthink it, just get some rest! Guiyan and I are leaving now, we'll come see you again tomorrow!"
Yun Zheng responded with a nasal tone.
-
The next day, to prevent Yun Zheng from being so angry with Gui Yan that he vomited blood, Yun Chuwei came to see Yun Zheng alone.
She hadn't expected that Guiyan would appear again in such a hurry shortly after she sat down.
"Young Miss, something terrible has happened!" She rushed in, then realized her words were inappropriate and spat, "Pah! Young Miss is perfectly fine, it's something really bad that's happened!"
Upon hearing Guiyan's words, Yunzheng became excited and tried to sit up.
Not wanting to aggravate the wound, he cried out in pain.
Yun Chuwei was already used to Guiyan's loud and boisterous nature, so she reached out to help Yun Zheng before asking Guiyan, "What is it?"
Before Guiyan could catch her breath, she said, "That... that old scoundrel surnamed Yue really impeached you. He said you grew up in the mountains and have no manners, disrespect your elders, and are disobedient to your father, so you are not worthy to be the Princess Consort of Xuan. There are also several other people who say that you are a jinx to your father, mother, and brother, and that you are a jinx who should not marry into the royal family. This is a letter from His Highness Prince Xuan, take a look."
