Zhu Yunwen asked Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng to tell him what they were going to do in the future, even if it was the order from the concubine. At the same time, he ordered someone to tell Lan Yu that if he wanted to escape, he could only bite and make a big fuss, so big that even His Majesty didn't dare to act rashly. Lan Yu did her best, and immediately began to bite the presiding judge Zhan Hui, slandering him with a honey sword in the courthouse. Zhan Hui was worried that Qi Tai, who was on the side, would listen to Lan Yu's words. He repeatedly tried to stop him to no avail, and finally admitted that he was involved with Lan Yu. As a result, Qi Tai ordered someone to strip off his official uniform and go to prison for investigation.

Qi Tai also confirmed from Lan Yu's mouth that he was related to Cao Zhen and Zhan Hui. There were many officials in the DPRK and China involved in the case. Qi Tai did not dare to specialize, so he reported to His Majesty Ming. Zhu Yuanzhang asked Jiang Ying, the commander of Jin Yiwei, to arrest all of them. Daoyan could see clearly, and he told Zhu Di that the reason why His Majesty arrested the thirteen marquis and others was to beat these dignitaries, after all, the grandson was still young. As for the person who gave Lan Yu an idea, it was clear that he wanted Lan Yu, the reckless husband, to die without a burial place. Zhu Yunwen went to beg Zhu Yuanzhang to spare Lanyu, and even his forehead was blue, but this made Zhu Yuanzhang more determined to kill Lanyu.

In the 26th year of Hongwu, a famous general of Liang Guogong Lanyu was sent to Jinyiwei Prison for the crime of rebellion. Zhu Yuanzhang took this opportunity to reinvigorate the officials involved in the prison, including thirteen marquis, two earls and ministers of the Ministry of Personnel. It will be completely implicated, which is the blue jade case in the early Ming Dynasty. After this major case, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the abolition of Jinyiwei and his torture tools, and those who had more than a thousand Jinyiwei families would go to the army of the King of Jin to serve. Zhu Di, who was far away in Peiping, was always thinking about how to get the emperor to allow Miaoyun to bring his three sons back. The princes and grandsons reviewed the memorials together, but Prince Yan did not return one of the memorials with many typos.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the reason, and only then did he know that the memorial was written by an official who was a military general and turned into a civil official. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, and asked Zhu Gaochi to accompany him out for a walk, promising to let him and Miaoyun go back to reunite with Zhu Di as soon as possible. When Taozhou rebelled, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the King of Qin to lead troops to Taozhou to quell the rebellion. Miaoyun heard Zhu Gaochi say that His Majesty would allow them to return to Peiping, but she was not happy. In her opinion, this was definitely not good news. Before the Qin king quelled the rebellion, he did not ask for rewards, but only hoped that his father would let Wang Yuemin go.

Unexpectedly, the god of heaven is not beautiful, and the king of Qin contracted a miasma when he put down the rebellion, and his life was not long. Before he passed away, he entrusted Wang Yuemin to another princess, but Wang Yuemin did not survive, and committed suicide by raising a knife in front of the coffin of King Zhu Xi of Qin. Zhu Yuanzhang posthumously named Zhu Xi as King Min, and King Xu Yuemin was buried together with King Min of Qin. Zhu Yuanzhang called Miaoyun into the palace, told her a few words, and asked her to bring a few imperial doctors back to the generals of King Yan, and Zhu Gaochi, who was slightly fat, also needed to be nursed back.

In 1396, the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Zhu Di to enter Saibei and launched the eighth and last large-scale attack on the Yuan forces in Mobei by the Ming court during the Hongwu period. The battle on the battlefield finally brought the war between Ming Ting and Beiyuan, which lasted for more than ten years, to an end. There was no accident when Zhu Yuanzhang received the expedited good news, and he was directly archived. Soon after, Zhu Gaochi's wife gave birth to a son.
