Yun Chuwei turned her head slightly, looked at Empress Wang, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is truly domineering. You can beat anyone to death if you want. That's really impressive!"
Everyone was stunned.
Yun Chuwei really dares to say anything.
Empress Wang glared at Yun Chuwei, her anger palpable.
This Yun Chuwei seems to be fearless.
At that moment, she had an impulse to disregard everything and have Yun Chuwei dragged out and beaten severely.
However, she also knew very well that since His Majesty favored Yun Chuwei so much, if she hit Yun Chuwei, the matter would probably not end well.
As Empress Wang was pondering this, Sun Jiasheng walked in.
After he entered, he first bowed to Empress Wang and the Crown Prince.
Empress Wang glared at Yun Chuwei, then smiled at Sun Jiasheng and said, "Eunuch Sun, no need for formalities. Where is His Majesty?"
Sun Jiasheng replied, "His Majesty has not yet arrived. His Majesty sent this old servant to summon Miss Yun!"
Empress Wang frowned, her face grim.
It has to be said that His Majesty truly favors Yun Chuwei. Everyone else has arrived, but he hasn't come over; instead, he wants to summon Yun Chuwei.
Sun Jiasheng approached Yun Chuwei and said, "Miss Yun, please come with this old servant!"
Yun Chuwei nodded and followed Sun Jiasheng outside.
Outside the Golden Palace, Xie Xuan and his companions, along with Zhu Anshi and others, waited to be summoned.
Sun Jiasheng brought Yun Chuwei to Xie Xuan's side, reached out, and lifted the suspect's hood.
He pointed to the two suspects and said to Yun Chuwei, "His Majesty means that Miss Yun should take a look at the faces of these two suspects."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei immediately understood.
Zhu Anshi's ability to move freely within the palace is too dangerous; His Majesty fears that Zhu Anshi might assassinate him.
Yun Chuwei said slowly, "The fees for reading other people's fortunes cannot be included in my salary, so..."
Yun Chuwei extended her hand to Sun Jiasheng.
Sun Jiasheng twitched slightly, then took out a gold bar and placed it in Yun Chuwei's hand.
No wonder His Majesty gave him a gold bar when he came out.
He had thought the gold bar was a reward for him, but now it seems that the gold bar was not meant for him.
Yun Chuwei took the gold bar and began to carefully examine the faces of Zhu Anshi and the man standing next to him.
"How is it?" Sun Jiasheng asked, looking at Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei did not speak.
Sun Jiasheng waited a moment before speaking again: "Miss Yun, how should this old servant report to His Majesty?"
He still doesn't understand why His Majesty asked Yun Chuwei to read the faces of these two people.
Yun Chuwei said slowly, "These two people do not appear to pose a threat to their master for the time being!"
Sun Jiasheng counted on his fingers, repeating what Yun Chuwei had said, and then said, "Just these nine words?"
His Majesty instructed him to relay Yun Chuwei's words back to him verbatim.
Yun Chuwei nodded slightly: "Just these nine words!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Jiasheng took two steps back, then bowed to Yun Chuwei and Xie Xuan and the others standing nearby before leaving.
Huo Qingjue, standing not far away, naturally heard the conversation between Yun Chuwei and Sun Jiasheng.
But he was somewhat puzzled.
So he turned to Yun Chuwei and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean by this?"
"Mind your own business!" Yun Chu said calmly.
Huo Qingjue frowned and looked at the others.
Everyone else hung their heads and remained silent.
Xie Xuan understood what his father meant.
He asked Yun Chuwei to read the fortunes of the two men in order to find out if they would assassinate him.
When Yun Chuwei said there was no sign of harming the ruler, the "ruler" she was referring to was her own father, the emperor, the ruler of the world.
-
Soon, Emperor Tianqi arrived.
Yun Chuwei also returned to the palace.
After everyone paid their respects, the court hearing began.
The first one brought up was naturally Zhu Anshi.
Because Yue He was the one who captured the person, His Majesty ordered Yue He to conduct the interrogation.
Yue He looked at Zhu Anshi, raised his voice, and said, "Zhu Anshi, did you previously enter or leave the palace without permission? Did you have any encounter with His Majesty?"
Zhu Anshi did not deny it, and said directly, "That's right, this humble subject has indeed entered and exited the palace and met His Majesty!"
Yue He was overjoyed to hear this.
Zhu Anshi admitted that he had solved His Majesty's biggest problem and that his son was saved.
Thinking about it, Yue He glanced at Yun Chuwei, a smug expression on his face.
He said that Yun Chuwei was just talking nonsense.
How could the Yue family possibly suffer misfortune? That's simply impossible.
Yun Chuwei sensed Yue He's gaze, a slight smile playing on her lips, but she remained silent.
At this moment, Emperor Tianqi spoke up: "Zhu Anshi? Why are you entering and leaving the palace?"
"Your Majesty, the reason I risked entering the palace is because I heard that someone wanted to use witchcraft to poison you! Although I am a commoner, I have great respect for Your Majesty! Your Majesty is a wise ruler who created the prosperous era of the Great Chu! I have no official position and cannot see Your Majesty, so I had no choice but to risk entering the palace to confirm whether this matter is true!" Zhu Anshi said.
Emperor Tianqi frowned and asked in a cold voice, "So, how have you confirmed it?"
Zhu Anshi reported, "Your Majesty, I have found the person who intended to harm you with witchcraft. I have also asked Prince Xuan to help capture him!"
Emperor Tianqi said, "Bring him up!"
Soon, the people from the Dali Temple brought up a person wearing a hood.
When the person's hood was removed, Yue He, Empress Wang, and the Crown Prince all gasped in shock.
Because they recognized this person.
His name was Chen Xi, and he was skilled in witchcraft and sorcery. He was acquainted with Yue Jingsheng.
Back then, when the Crown Prince wanted to use witchcraft to poison Yun Zheng, he sought out this Chen Xi.
After that incident, Chen Xi lived at Yue’s house. When was he captured by Xie Xuan?
Chen Xi knelt on the ground, trembling all over, looking as if he was afraid.
Emperor Tianqi asked Chen Xi, "What is your name?"
Chen Xi replied truthfully, "My name is Chen Xi!"
"I heard you want to harm me?" Emperor Tianqi said coldly.
Chen Xi trembled and hurriedly said, "This humble subject has no such courage! I was only working for the Yue family. Although I harmed the second young master of the Marquis's mansion before, it was not my intention. Please, Your Majesty, investigate thoroughly!"
Yue He's legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud, hurriedly saying, "Chen Xi, don't talk nonsense! You have absolutely no relation to my family! You..."
At this moment, Zhu Anshi spoke up: "Your Majesty, I did indeed stay at the Yue family's residence before. If you do not believe me, please send people to search the Yue family's residence!"
Upon hearing this, the Tianqi Emperor summoned the Embroidered Uniform Guard and ordered them to search the area.
Finally, he looked at Yun Chuwei and Xie Xuan and said, "You two go and keep an eye on things for me!"
Yun Chuwei and Xie Xuan lowered their heads and agreed.
-
The two soon arrived at the Yue family's house.
At that time, the Embroidered Uniform Guard had already begun searching the Yue family's residence.
Xie Xuan looked at the Embroidered Uniform Guards coming and going, his face turning pale.
He clenched his fist, and the veins stood out.
