Why mess with her? Even the emperor has to pamper her.

At the same time as the edict was issued, Emperor Tianqi also ordered a large number of people to be executed immediately.

Those people included Lin Ji and some officials who had stayed in Beijing.

Of course, there are also some captains of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The crime these people committed was deceiving the emperor and persecuting the prince and the queen.

Emperor Tianqi also appointed Yun Chuwei as the executioner.

After receiving the imperial edict, Yun Chuwei went directly to the palace to meet Emperor Tianqi.

Emperor Tianqi sat behind the desk in the imperial study. After quietly accepting Yun Chuwei's greeting, he asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to see me?"

Logically speaking, Yun Chuwei should have supervised the execution before coming to see him.

Yun Chuwei replied: "Your Majesty, I would like to request that those people's immediate execution be replaced by poisoned wine?"

Emperor Tianqi's face turned slightly cold: "Don't do unnecessary things!"

"Of course, it is necessary!" Yun Chu said gently, "It can show your majesty's kindness and your determination to implement benevolent policies."

Emperor Tianqi was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Just do as you say!"

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for their grace!" Yun Chu said with a slight bow.

Emperor Tianqi raised his hand and motioned her to go down: "You go back first. When the execution is carried out tomorrow, I will let Sun Jiasheng deliver the imperial edict!"

"I'll take my leave!" Yun Chuwei said and walked out.

-

When Yun Chuwei returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she was immediately called over by her grandmother.

As soon as the old lady saw her granddaughter, she asked, "What exactly does your majesty want to do?"

Yun Chuwei sat down and said with a smile: "It's just that I want to turn to benevolent governance."

The old lady frowned: "After a lifetime of war and aggression, now that he's old he's thinking about implementing benevolent policies? What's he thinking?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "The Great Chu has come to this point. Either it implements benevolent policies and recuperates, or the world falls into chaos. He is His Majesty, so he naturally knows what to choose."

The old lady also understood what he meant and frowned, saying, "This change is too fast!"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "If he wants to make this change himself, he has to be quick. Moreover, His Majesty must make this change himself. If the next emperor does it, his life's achievements will be completely negated!"

The old lady finally understood.

But she was still shocked.

"You mean, the reason why His Majesty is so anxious is that he doesn't have much time left? And, he caused the incident with the crown prince because he wanted to preserve his achievements and also wanted to implement benevolent policies?"

Yun Chu nodded slightly.

The old lady felt that there was too much information to digest.

After a while, the old lady suddenly remembered something and said, "Since you know that His Majesty doesn't have much time left, why did you let Xie Xuan leave the capital? If His Majesty really has something to do and Xie Xuan is not here, won't there be chaos?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei looked at the old lady and asked, "Grandma, do you hope that Xie Xuan will be the emperor?"

The old lady's eyes suddenly became determined.

"It can only be him! It has to be him!"

Yun Chuwei: ...

"What if I say that I don't want him to ascend the throne? In fact, he is not suitable." Yun Chuwei said.

The old lady looked at Yun Chuwei and said, "I don't care whether he is suitable to be the emperor or not, and I don't care who you or Your Majesty chooses to be the emperor. I only know that he must be the emperor. Unless you break off the engagement with him!" The old lady said seriously.

Yun Chuwei knew that the old lady was talking about the backlash she had suffered.

She smiled and said, "Grandmother, the emperor's aura can reduce the backlash, but it's just a legend, it may not count!"

The old lady was unmoved: "How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it? Since there is such a legend, there must be a reason. I don't care, this matter is settled!"

Yun Chuwei couldn't help but joked, "Why don't I marry His Majesty now and give it a try?"

The old lady was furious after hearing this: "You... do you want to piss me off to death? You are committing a sin..."

At this time, He Ning hurried in and supported the old lady: "Mother, what's the matter?"

The old lady supported He Ning and said sadly, "Your daughter, I can't control her. She wants to be a concubine for the old emperor. She will make me angry to death!"

Yun Chuwei: ...

After hearing this, He Ning widened his eyes and looked at his daughter in disbelief.

"Weiwei... why are you..."

Yun Chuwei: ...

"I was just joking!" Yun Chuwei said quickly.

He Ning breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

The old lady continued to cry, "If you dare to play such a joke today, you will dare to do such a thing tomorrow! I will not live any longer!"

Yun Chuwei: ...

He Ning widened her eyes, she also thought this was possible.

"Weiwei, you swear. Yes, swear with your heart of Tao!" He Ning said.

Yun Chuwei was extremely helpless and could only raise his sword and swear.

After making the oath clear, Yun Chuwei looked at the old lady and He Ning and asked, "Grandma, mother, is this okay?"

The old lady nodded with satisfaction.

"You must remember the oath you swore, otherwise, I will not let you go!"

“Okay, okay!” Yun Chuwei was helpless, “Grandma, just rest assured!”

"And more!" the old lady continued, "If you don't plan to break off the engagement with Xie Xuan, let him come back quickly. I want him to sit in that position!"

Yun Chuwei had no choice but to nod: "I understand!"

-

Yun Chuwei walked out of the old lady's yard and saw Cui Yutuan standing at the door with a smile on his face.

She said, "I treated you as my sister, and you want to be my mother-in-law? I can't tell!"

Yun Chu rolled his eyes at Cui Yutuan and said, "I was speechless for a moment and made an inappropriate joke. My grandmother and mother have already made a big fuss, and you are still making fun of me!"

After hearing this, Cui Yuetuan said seriously: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I heard that you were back, so I came to find you because I have a question I want to ask you."

Yun Chuwei thought for a moment and said, "If you have anything to say, come back to my yard and talk!"

Cui Yuetuan nodded.

The two walked back together. Yun Chuwei deliberately slowed down her pace, after all, Cui Yutuan was pregnant.

Returning to Yun Chuwei's courtyard, Cui Yutuan said to Yun Chuwei: "His Majesty has sent an imperial decree, saying that he will pick me up to the palace tomorrow."

"Yeah!" Yun Chuwei responded.

Cui Yuetuan frowned: "But I don't understand, why?"

Yun Chu pursed his lips slightly, thinking about how to express it.

Cui Yutuan thought Yun Chuwei didn't understand what she was asking, so she restated it.

"I don't understand why His Majesty wants to keep this child. It seems that he wants to keep this child by his side and raise him. What is his purpose?"

Yun Chu pursed her lips slightly, and after a moment, she said, "Originally, I can't guess what His Majesty is thinking. But I think he may feel guilty towards Queen Wang and the Crown Prince, so he wants to return the throne to the Crown Prince's lineage!"

Cui Yuetuan's eyes widened: "He wants to make an unborn child the emperor?"
