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

Yun Chuwei's words drew the attention of Cui's father and Xie Xin to this matter.

The two of them stared at Jiang Wanqiu closely, wanting to get an answer from her.

Jiang Wanqiu's face was gloomy. "This is also what I am worried about. I don't know much about Gu worms. If I want to confirm it, I may need to do a blood test on the child."

Father Cui immediately said: "Then let's do a blood test!"

His daughter had fought so hard to give birth to the child, so nothing could go wrong.

Jiang Wanqiu nodded: "Let me check it out."

Yun Chuwei turned around and walked out.

Seeing this, Xie Xin quickly asked, "Yun Chuwei, where are you going?"

"Go to the brothel!" Yun Chuwei replied and continued walking forward.

Xie Xin was stunned, but still walked forward quickly and caught up with Yun Chuwei's pace.

Yun Chuwei walked very fast with the wind under his feet.

Huo Qingjue walked in from outside, and before he had time to greet Yun Chuwei, he saw Yun Chuwei walking away.

He was stunned and could only bow to Xie Xin and asked, "Who offended the young lady?"

Xie Xin waved his hand: "Don't worry about who provoked her. Now gather your people on duty and follow her. I feel like she's going to cause trouble!"

"What to do after the call? Where to go?" Huo Qingjue asked another question.

"Brothel!" Xie Xin answered in the same way.

Huo Qingjue: ...

-

Yun Chuwei did go to a brothel, the same brothel where Yun Lianhua was.

Because she was asked to see Yun Lianhua, she soon met Yun Lianhua.

The moment Yun Lianhua saw Yun Chuwei, she was a little panicked.

However, she soon returned to normal.

She bowed respectfully to Yun Chuwei and said softly, "Miss Yun, I am sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me. I just don't know why you came to see me."

Yun Chuwei looked at Yun Lianhua and said indifferently: "Where is Yun Qianming? Hand him over!"

Yun Lianhua showed a bit of surprise on her face, as if she didn't expect Yun Chuwei to come back to her to find Yun Qianming.

"Yun Qianming? Wasn't he taken away by Cui Yuetuan? He should be in..."

"Yun Lianhua!" Yun Chuwei lost his patience and interrupted her. "You can continue to talk nonsense to me, but we will know what you or your people have done once we investigate. If I find him around here, I promise that you and everyone around you will be tortured to death! Do you want to try?"

Yun Lianhua's heart trembled slightly. She had no doubt that when Yun Chuwei said lingchi, it must be lingchi.

She moved her red lips, but didn't know what to say.

Yun Chuwei's face was gloomy and her voice was grim: "I don't have much patience. Huo Qingjue, chop off the arm of the maid next to her first!"

Following Xie Xin's instructions, Huo Qingjue gathered his men and followed Yun Chuwei here. The first thing they did was to surround the brothel.

At this time, he and Xie Xin were standing beside Yun Chuwei, listening to the conversation between Yun Chuwei and Yun Lianhua.

Although he and Xie Xin were very curious about why Yun Chuwei insisted that Yun Lianhua hid Yun Qianming, neither of them said anything.

After hearing what Yun Chuwei told him, Huo Qingjue did not hesitate at all. He drew the sword in his hand and stabbed the maid beside Yun Lianhua.

Yun Lianhua hurriedly tried to stop him and said, "I say! If you tell him to stop, I'll tell you everything!"

Yun Chuwei then waved her hand and called Huo Qingjue back.

Then, she looked at Yun Lianhua indifferently, waiting for her next words.

Yun Lianhua looked at Yun Chuwei, gritted her teeth, and said, "Before I say anything, I want to ask you, why are you so sure that Yun Qianming is with me?"

Yun Chuwei said nonchalantly: "Guess!"

Yun Qianming knew a lot of people in the entire capital, but the only person he dared to look for was Yun Lianhua.

If there is anyone in the capital who will help Yun Qianming, that person is Yun Lianhua.

After all, the relationship between Yun Qianming and Yun Lianhua is indeed good!

Now Yun Lianhua gives people the feeling that she has changed for the better, so it is very likely that she will help Yun Qianming.

She wasn't actually sure, she just came here to try her luck.

When she saw Yun Lianhua for the first time, she felt that she was lucky.

Because she saw struggle and fear in Yun Lianhua's eyes.

"So, where is he?" Yun Chuwei added coldly.

Yun Lianhua bit her lip slightly and said, "There is an entrance under the well in the backyard that leads to the secret room. I discovered it by accident, and no one else knew about it. I hid it there!"

Yun Chuwei listened and glanced at Huo Qingjue.

Huo Qingjue understood what Yun Chuwei meant, called a few people, and rushed into the yard.

Soon, Huo Qingjue's men brought Yun Qianming out.

When Huo Qingjue found Yun Qianming, he admired Yun Chuwei even more.

He felt that his eldest daughter was simply amazing and always got his guesses right.

Xie Xin looked at Yun Chuwei with eyes full of admiration. The person they couldn't find in the whole city was caught by Yun Chuwei with just one move.

Yun Qianming looked at Yun Chuwei with a different look, one of shock and fear.

When he looked at Yun Lianhua again, his eyes were full of hatred.

Obviously, he felt that Yun Lianhua had betrayed him.

Yun Lianhua wanted to explain, but when she thought that Yun Qianming had fallen into Yun Chuwei's hands, she was afraid that he would have no chance of coming out alive, so she gave up.

This explanation might offend Yun Chuwei, which is really not worth it.

Yun Chuwei stopped talking, stood up and left.

Huo Qingjue followed and asked Yun Chuwei, "Miss, where are you taking Yun Qianming?"

"Imperial Prison!" Yun Chuwei said lightly.

Huo Qingjue nodded immediately, and then said: "Miss, go back and have a rest first. I will tell you the result after I have interrogated the person!"

Yun Chu shook his head slightly.

"No, I'll do the trial myself!"

-

When Yun Chuwei arrived at the imperial prison, Yun Qianming had already been hung on the rack.

There were all kinds of torture instruments around him, and even a pot of fire with the branding iron in the pot burning red.

But there was no trace of fear on Yun Qianming's face.

In his eyes, these torture instruments were not as scary as the ones Cui Yuetuan used to torture him.

During this period of time, what kind of torture had he not endured? There was no intact skin on his body any longer.

He was already numb.

He looked at Yun Chuwei, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.

"Yun Chuwei, do you want to use these torture instruments to make me submit? Are you thinking too much?"

Yun Chuwei walked over, pulled open Yun Qianming's collar, and saw the mottled wound on his chest.

She said slowly: "It seems that you have gotten used to it!"

"Hahaha..." Yun Qianming laughed, "Of course I'm used to it! Cui Yuetuan is a devil! She is a devil! Fortunately she died! She is finally dead!"

"You know very well that she will die?" Yun Chuwei said calmly.

Yun Qianming stopped smiling and said coldly, "A vicious woman like her should have been taken away by heaven long ago!"

Yun Chuwei suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed Yun Qianming's throat, and slowly tightened it.

Yun Qianming suddenly widened his eyes, like a dying fish, and opened his mouth desperately to get air.

However, in Yun Chuwei's hands, he couldn't get any air supply at all.

Yun Chuwei didn't let him go until Yun Qianming's face turned blue.

Yun Qianming immediately began to breathe rapidly, with air rushing into his throat and lungs, even choking him and causing him to cough repeatedly.

Yun Chuwei looked at Yun Qianming and said slowly, "Whether she is a vicious woman or not, you are not qualified to judge. When you were trying to lure her to death, you were even more vicious than her. If you still don't know how to speak properly, I don't mind teaching you again!"

Yun Qianming looked at Yun Chuwei hatefully, but didn't dare to say anything more.

Yun Chuwei continued: "Where did the Gu worm come from? When did you plant the Gu worm on her?"

Yun Qianming was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that Yun Chuwei had already found the poisonous insect.

This was happening much faster than he had expected.

But he didn't say anything and responded with silence.

Yun Chuwei looked at Yun Qianming and sneered, "You don't think that if you don't say anything, I will let you go?"

Yun Qianming sneered: "You can just torture me!"

Yun Chuwei raised the corner of his mouth and put on an evil and dangerous smile.

"Torture? That's so boring. Why don't we try something more interesting?"

After saying that, Yun Chuwei waved and called Huo Qingjue who was standing beside him.

Huo Qingjue walked up to Yun Chuwei and followed his instructions.

Yun Chuwei whispered a few words into Huo Qingjue's ear.

Huo Qingjue was shocked by what Yun Chuwei said, but he didn't say much and turned away.

Not long after, Huo Qingjue came back.

A huge cage also came back with him.

There was a wolfhound in the cage.

The wolfhound looked ferocious and obviously very hungry. When it saw Yun Chuwei, it was about to pounce on her and bite her.

However, the cage was very sturdy and did not move at all even if the wolfhound pounced on it.

When Yun Qianming saw the cage, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Yun Chuwei looked at Yun Qianming with a sneer on his face and said slowly: "I'll ask you one last time, will you tell me or not?"

Yun Qianming frowned slightly and refused to speak.

Yun Chuwei suddenly opened her mouth and ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guards who pushed the cage over, whispering like a devil: "Put his feet in."

After hearing this, the two Embroidered Uniform Guards immediately opened the small feeding window on the cage, pulled Yun Qianming, and put his feet into the cage.

The wolfhound was indeed hungry. It pounced over and bit Yun Qianming's foot, tearing off a piece of meat from his foot.

"what--"

Yun Qianming's screams resounded through the sky and sounded extremely tragic.

The mocking smile on Yun Chuwei's face became more obvious.

"Since you are not afraid of torture, let's see if you can hold your own against the wolfdog while you eat! I think you will not die until the dog has finished gnawing your legs."

Yun Qianming struggled in pain, but his legs were held down so tightly that he couldn't move at all.

He looked at Yun Chuwei, his eyes full of fear.

He used to think that Cui Yuetuan was the devil, but now he realizes that Yun Chuwei is even more like a devil!

Just as the dog bit his leg again, he could bear it no longer.

"Ah——" he screamed, "I'll tell you! I'll tell you whatever you want to know!"

Yun Chuwei heard this and said to the two Embroidered Uniform Guards, "Drag him out."

As expected, the two Embroidered Uniform Guards dragged Yun Qianming's legs out and closed the small window for feeding.

The wolfhound was obviously not full. It ate with its mouth wide open and scratched the cage with its front paws, trying to get out.

However, the iron cage was very sturdy and there were no traces of scratches.

Yun Chuwei ignored the wolfhound and looked at Yun Qianming.

At this moment, the fearless expression on Yun Qianming's face had long collapsed.

He looked at Yun Chuwei with fear and said, "It was Concubine Xi's people who gave me the poisonous insect when you went hunting. There was a palace maid beside her who was from Miaojiang and was proficient in the art of poisonous insects."

After hearing this, Yun Chuwei did not say anything, but looked at Xie Xin.

In fact, Xie Xin had always been following Yun Chuwei, so naturally he had seen the way Yun Chuwei interrogated Yun Qianming.

She was in shock the whole time. It was not until she met Yun Chuwei's gaze that she suddenly came to her senses.

She said to Yun Chuwei: "I'll go catch him!"

After saying that, Xie Xin left in a hurry.

Yun Chuwei looked at Yun Qianming and continued, "Does the poisonous insect have any effect on the fetus?"

"The palace maid said that the poison will enter the fetus through the mother's body. If there is no antidote, the baby will die within half a month after birth, and will die within a month."

"According to what the palace maid said, this Gu worm entered Cui Yue's group silently, and no one would notice it. It is common for women to have hemorrhage during childbirth. No one would find the Gu worm, and naturally no one would notice that the baby has Gu poison in its body."

Yun Qianming paused and continued: "This is all I know, please let me go!"

Yun Chuwei said nothing more and turned away.

Huo Qingjue ordered the two Embroidered Uniform Guards: "Lock him up and report to His Majesty before making any further decisions!"

After saying that, Huo Qingjue followed Yun Chuwei and left.

Yun Chuwei went directly to the East Palace.

She told Jiang Wanqiu what Yun Qianming said.

Jiang Wanqiu frowned slightly, then said: "The baby's blood does contain toxins, but I can't detoxify it."

At this time, Xie Xin came hurriedly.

"That palace maid died. She committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Her residence was burned down and nothing was taken out!" said Xie Xin.

Yun Chuwei's face was gloomy. She didn't expect that the clue would end here.

"Where's Concubine Xi?"

Xie Xin shook his head and sighed slightly: "She is really crazy, there is nothing I can get out of her!"

Yun Chu was silent for a moment, then she said, "Come on, follow me to see His Majesty."

-

After listening to what Yun Chuwei and others said, Emperor Tianqi was so angry that he smashed a tea bowl.

Along with Yun Chuwei and others, Cui's father also came to see Emperor Tianqi.

Father Cui rarely saw the Emperor Tianqi get angry. He knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The most urgent thing is to save the little grandson!"

Emperor Tianqi also gradually calmed down. He looked at Yun Chuwei and said, "What do you think?"

Yun Chuwei thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps we need to take the little grandson to Miao Territory. I think their turning point is in the southwest!"

Emperor Tianqi clenched his fists on the imperial desk and spoke slowly, "Take Huo Qingjue and Jiang Wanqiu with you and go there in person."

"I obey!"

"His Majesty……"

The others wanted to say something, but were interrupted by a look from Emperor Tianqi.

"It's decided!"

Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to retreat.

After Yun Chuwei left the imperial study, she began to arrange her travel arrangements in full swing.

On the one hand, court affairs needed to be arranged, and on the other hand, there were many things that needed to be prepared when traveling with a baby.

Three days later, Yun Chuwei led a team south.

Ten days later, Yun Chuwei arrived at Yongyang City, a city on the outskirts of Miao Territory.

Yun Chuwei didn't expect to meet Xie Xuan in Yongyang City.

The man in my memory had his long black hair tied up high, standing straight outside the city gate, his black brocade clothes embroidered with gold making him look dignified and tall.

The youthful spirit and features remain the same, but his temperament has changed a little, as if he has been through the wind and sand, and now he looks more calm and mature.

After he left, Yun Chuwei actually thought of him often.

She didn't know that feeling was longing before, until now, she understood.

That is longing, like a waterfall three thousand feet high, surging and unstoppable.

Thousands of words were stuck in her throat, and in the end she could only utter six words.

"Xie Xuan, long time no see!"
