Yun Chuwei raised her hand slightly and waved her finger forward, signaling the Embroidered Guards behind her to step forward.
"Take them all!"
Without hesitation, Huo Qingjue led his men and arrested Yue Jingsheng and the others.
Yue Jingsheng never expected that Yun Chuwei could command the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
You should know that the Embroidered Uniform Guard is directly responsible to His Majesty, and only His Majesty can give them orders.
He tried to resist and escape, but he was no match for the Embroidered Uniform Guards and was quickly subdued.
"General Huo, it's a misunderstanding! We didn't do anything, why are you arresting us?" Yue Jingsheng said to Huo Qingjue after being arrested.
Huo Qingjue didn't speak, but bowed to Yun Chuwei and said, "Miss, the person has been captured, what's next..."
Yun Chuwei's eyes were gentle, but her words were as cold as frost: "Take her back to the Imperial Prison!"
Yue Jingsheng's eyes widened; the Imperial Prison was a place that struck fear into the hearts of many.
"Yun Chuwei, what right do you have to arrest me? What right do you have to take me back to the imperial prison?" Yue Jingsheng raised his voice, "I am the Empress's nephew and the Crown Prince's cousin! How dare you touch me?"
Yun Chuwei looked at the struggling Yue Jingsheng and said with a smile, "But His Majesty ordered me to investigate who spread the rumor that I am a jinx. I came from the Marquis's residence, and no one said I was a jinx along the way. Only you said it, and everyone heard it! It's reasonable for me to arrest you and interrogate you properly, isn't it? Even in front of the Empress, my reason is valid!"
She guessed that Yue Jingsheng would definitely speak rudely to her when he saw her.
After all, Yue Jingsheng had told Yun Zheng that she was a jinx.
A person's character is absolutely impossible to change easily.
He would rant in front of Yun Zheng, and naturally he would rant in front of her as well.
Because he was fearless and unafraid of causing trouble.
But he didn't know that the Embroidered Uniform Guard represented the Tianqi Emperor and had no fear of his empress aunt.
Yue Jingsheng looked at Yun Chuwei, his eyes widening.
Although he was arrogant, he wasn't stupid; he figured it out by now.
Yun Chuwei did it on purpose!
She deliberately appeared alone first, provoking him to speak rudely.
Using this as an excuse, they got the Embroidered Uniform Guard to arrest him.
"Yun Chuwei, you framed me! You dared to frame me! You filthy bitch..."
"Slap—" Before Yun Chuwei could even speak, Huo Qingjue had already slapped Yue Jingsheng across the face.
Then, he placed the sword directly against Yue Jingsheng's neck.
Yue Jingsheng was shocked; he hadn't expected Huo Qingjue to protect Yun Chuwei like this.
"General Huo... General Huo... Let's talk this out! Let's talk this out!"
Huo Qingjue looked at Yun Chuwei and asked, "Should we just kill her?"
He actually knew that Yun Chuwei wouldn't kill Yue Jingsheng.
He asked that question purely to scare Yue Jingsheng.
Yun Chuwei looked at Yue Jingsheng, seemingly deep in thought about the question.
"The Embroidered-Robed Envoy is granted special permission by the Emperor to execute first and report later. It seems we can indeed kill him first and then discuss it!" Yun Chuwei said quietly.
"Miss, please spare me! I know I was wrong! I was rude! I was wrong!" Yue Jingsheng was so scared he almost wet his pants.
He knew there was nothing the Embroidered Uniform Guards wouldn't dare to do.
Let alone killing him, the Embroidered Uniform Guard would dare to kill even princes and princesses.
He believed his aunt could protect him, but he also needed the Embroidered Uniform Guard to give him a chance.
If the Embroidered Uniform Guards kill him directly, even if his aunt kills Yun Chuwei and Huo Qingjue to avenge him, it will be in vain.
He could only beg for mercy.
Yun Chuwei gave a mocking smile: "Coward! Take him back!"
Huo Qingjue nodded quickly and had those people take the group away.
Then, Huo Qingjue asked Yun Chuwei in a low voice, "What should we do next?"
Yun Chuwei pursed her lips slightly and said slowly, "A few days ago, my second brother was flogged because of Yue Jingsheng. After we return to the prison, let's give Yue Jingsheng a beating first!"
Huo Qingjue: ...
-
This wasn't Yun Chuwei's first time in the imperial prison.
She had come here with Huo Qingjue in her previous life.
The atmosphere of this imperial prison remains chilling and bloody.
Upon seeing Yue Jingsheng bound in prison, Yun Chuwei ordered, "Do it, give him a beating."
Huo Qingjue: ...
They had hundreds, if not thousands, of methods for interrogating prisoners in the imperial prison. But this method of beating with a cane was never actually used.
Now that everyone's here, is simply giving them a beating in line with the style of the imperial prison?
He couldn't quite understand what Yun Chuwei was trying to do.
However, he did not object. Instead, as Yun Chuwei had instructed, he had someone bring a board and began to beat her.
Yue Jingsheng screamed repeatedly, "Yun Chuwei, you took me to the imperial prison to be flogged just to avenge your second brother! You...you've gone too far!"
Yun Chuwei didn't say anything, she just stood aside and watched Yue Jingsheng finish his beating.
In the end, Yue Jingsheng fainted from the pain.
Seeing this, Huo Qingjue asked Yun Chuwei, "What should we do next? Should we splash him awake and interrogate him?"
Yun Chuwei shook her head slightly: "Lock them up! These young masters from wealthy families aren't very strong. Have the doctor keep an eye on them, lest they die."
Huo Qingjue's lips twitched slightly, even more confused about what Yun Chuwei wanted to do.
But he kept his promise and did as Yun Chuwei asked.
-
After being released from the imperial prison, Yun Chuwei did not leave, but instead sat in Huo Qingjue's office drinking tea.
Looking at Yun Chuwei leisurely drinking tea, Huo Qingjue couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what exactly are you planning to do?"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll find out eventually!"
Huo Qingjue frowned slightly: "There are rumors outside that you brought the person back to avenge your brother."
Because Yun Chuwei mentioned that the second young master of the Yun family would be punished before she returned, such rumors arose.
Yun Chu raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, they believed it?"
Huo Qingjue nodded: "Many people believe it, and it seems that the Yue family also believes it."
Yun Chu smiled slightly: "I told that old bastard Yue He that my second brother's punishment wouldn't be for nothing, and that one day he would definitely take revenge on his son. It's normal that he believed it!"
Huo Qingjue looked at Yun Chuwei; others believed it, but he didn't.
He felt that Yun Chuwei wouldn't make a fuss over such a small matter.
"So, what exactly do you want?" He had lost count of how many times he had asked Yun Chuwei this question.
Just as Yun Chuwei was about to say something, a voice came from the doorway.
"Boss, His Highness Prince Xuan has arrived and says he wants to see Miss Yun!"
Huo Qingjue looked at Yun Chuwei, who put down her teacup and smiled.
"Could it be that you've been waiting for His Highness Prince Xuan?" Huo Qingjue asked.
Yun Chuwei stood up: "What do you think?"
Huo Qingjue immediately confirmed her guess.
But more questions arose in my mind.
"Isn't His Highness Prince Xuan angry? Isn't he refusing to see you? How can you be sure he'll come? What would he do here? Is it related to Yue Jingsheng?"
