The next day, after attending the morning court session, Yun Chuwei went to the main hall where official business was handled and saw the three of them still writing policy essays.
They finally finished writing around noon.
Huo Qingjue happened to appear just as they handed the strategy to Yun Chuwei.
Huo Qingjue bowed respectfully to Yun Chuwei, then said, "His Majesty has sent word that the former Crown Princess wishes to see you. His Majesty hopes you will go and dine with her. Would you like to go and see her?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei immediately nodded.
"Since His Majesty has spoken, I will naturally go!"
Yun Chuwei stood up, about to leave, when she met the hopeful eyes of Liu Guang and the others.
She smiled and asked Huo Qingjue, "Where are Liu Qingyan and the others? Why haven't they come in yet?"
Huo Qingjue quickly replied, "I was just about to say that, they've already arrived and are waiting outside!"
"Let them in!"
Huo Qingjue immediately agreed and turned to leave.
Soon, Liu Qingyan and the other two walked in.
Yun Chuwei handed the policy essays written by Liu Guang and the other two to Liu Qingyan, and soon the three of them each received a copy of the policy essay.
Yun Chuwei said, "These three essays were written by these three officials. Please take a look at them for me first. If you have any understanding or insights, you can discuss them with these three officials."
Liu Qingyan and the other two naturally agreed and immediately began watching.
Liu Guang and the other two's expressions changed repeatedly.
They assumed that Yun Chuwei would carefully read the policy essays they had painstakingly written.
Unexpectedly, Yun Chuwei didn't even look at it, but instead threw the things to the three people who appeared out of nowhere.
Moreover, these three people didn't look much older than Yun Chuwei.
Liu Guang hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help himself and called out to Yun Chuwei, "Miss Yun..."
Yun Chuwei smiled and interrupted Liu Guang, "Lord Liu, you just heard it too, His Majesty asked me to dine with the former Crown Princess. We can talk about it when I get back!"
Yun Chuwei spoke as she walked out.
Liu Guang had no choice but to watch Yun Chuwei leave.
The three exchanged glances and looked at each other blankly.
After that, the three of them walked out hand in hand.
After leaving the main hall, Sang Chengjun finally spoke, "Brother Liu, was it really the right thing for us to stay and follow Miss Yun?"
Yesterday, their opinion of Yun Chuwei had changed. However, because of today's incident, they started to have second thoughts again.
If Yun Chuwei is truly busy, they can wait until she has time to review their strategies.
But how could Yun Chuwei just randomly invite three people to look at their strategies?
She was completely disregarding them.
Shang Jie frowned and said in a low voice, "Yes, Brother Liu, is our choice really the right one? Is it too late for us to leave now?"
Liu Guang remained silent, his face also somewhat gloomy.
He suddenly remembered something and said, "Miss Yun said that we can tell her our thoughts and opinions directly. She just said that we should wait until she returns to discuss anything. So, let's think it over carefully before she comes back. Whatever our thoughts are, let's tell her directly when she gets back!"
The other two agreed wholeheartedly.
So the three of them went to have their meal in peace. They secretly decided that when Yun Chuwei returned, they would definitely tell her that they wanted to leave.
-
Cui Yuetuan always lived in the East Palace, but at this time, the East Palace was surrounded by many guards, three layers deep.
Yun Chuwei arrived at the East Palace and soon met Cui Yuetuan outside the pavilion in the garden.
Cui Yuetuan's belly had begun to swell. At this moment, she stood outside the pavilion, gently stroking her belly, radiating maternal glow, appearing gentle and serene, a picture of tranquility.
Yun Chuwei stopped in her tracks and couldn't help but take another look at her stomach.
Cui Yuetuan noticed Yun Chuwei, looked up, and waved to her: "You're here? That's great! Come here quickly!"
Yun Chuwei walked over, looked at her belly, and said, "It's been a while since I last saw you, the baby seems to have grown quite a bit!"
Cui Yuetuan smiled and said, "The imperial physician said that these are two children, which is why they appear larger."
Yun Chuwei nodded, then asked, "Why did you specifically ask me to come here?"
Cui Yuetuan reached out and took Yun Chuwei's hand, leading her towards the stone table in the pavilion that was set with food.
"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen you in so long, and I wanted to have a meal with you. What? You're not happy that I'm treating you to dinner?"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "I'm naturally very happy to have someone treat me to dinner. Thank you!"
After speaking, Yun Chuwei sat down at the table.
Seeing this, Cui Yuetuan sat down opposite Yun Chuwei.
As soon as the two sat down, a palace maid brought them warm water to wash their hands.
Then he handed them handkerchiefs to wipe their hands.
All of this happened last night; the two of them started having dinner together.
After eating for a while, Cui Yuetuan suddenly spoke up: "I heard about him?"
Yun Chuwei was slightly taken aback at first, then, as if realizing something, she asked, "Are you talking about Xie Sheng?"
Cui Yuetuan immediately nodded: "No matter what, he is still my husband and the father of my child. I should at least know whether he is alive or dead."
Yun Chuwei finally understood why Cui Yuetuan suddenly wanted to see her.
She nodded seriously and said, "Yes, he is dead."
Upon hearing this, Cui Yuetuan showed no sadness. Instead, she smiled and confirmed, "Are you sure?"
Yun Chuwei said with absolute certainty, "I'm sure! I saw him die with my own eyes. I can confirm that he's completely dead!"
