The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 649: One word comes true

The next day, Zhang Yun逸 called Xue Pan.

He handed him the sandalwood box that Xia Shouzhong had given him, and said, "This prescription has been lost. Eunuch Xia only has these three pills left. You should use them sparingly..."

When Zhen Shiyin tested the medicine, he naturally had to break it apart and crush it to make it easier to check the ingredients inside. Although it was not used up, there were only two pills left.

Although the box was the one Xia Shouzhong used to store medicine, the medicine inside was replaced by pills prepared by Zhen Shiyin.

The smell and appearance are the same as before, but the effects are different.

In addition to the original effects, it also has the effect of making people weak and faint, which is why Zhang Yun逸 asked Aunt Xue to inform her in advance.

In order to make Emperor Wanlong learn a lesson, we must give him a warning.

At the same time, in order to prevent the emperor from sending people to inquire, they had to put on a complete show.

If there was enough medicine, Zhang Yun逸 naturally hoped that Xue Pan would get into trouble as soon as possible, so that he could remind the emperor through Xia Shouzhong this morning and he wouldn't have to remind him to use it sparingly.

But now, he was worried that he would act too hastily and the emperor would find out something.

Xue Pan didn't know the truth, and couldn't help sighing when he heard that the book was out of print.

However, things are valuable because they are rare, so we must express our gratitude profusely.

After handing the medicine to Xue Pan, what needed to be done had been done, and all that was left was to wait and see what would happen.

Originally, Zhang Yun逸 was a little worried that Xue Pan would be reluctant to use it and miss the best opportunity to remind the emperor.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't even last a month.

That night, he had just finished a profound and simple exchange with the master and servant Xing Xiuyan and Lin Hongyu, and was about to go to sleep when he heard someone outside shouting, "Master Yi... our master is in trouble, and my wife asked me to invite Master Yi and Mr. Zhen over..."

Knowing that Xue Pan would mostly use the medicine at night, he had not been running around lately, but his concubines and maids had benefited a lot from it.

Hearing this, Lin Hongyu couldn't help but complain, "Is there no one left in the West Mansion? Why do you always look for our uncle for everything?"

She and Xing Xiuyun entered the mansion late and were not familiar with Aunt Xue's situation. Although Zhang Yunyi often stayed in the mansion recently, who would complain about getting too much profit from the maids and concubines in the backyard?

It happened that it was Zhang Yunyi's turn to stay at Linshui Pavilion, and it was inevitable that he felt a little unhappy when the Xue family invited him.

Xing Xiuyan suddenly sat up and shouted, "Why are you talking so much? Come with me and help me change my clothes!"

She is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. Although she has not yet taken on the responsibilities of a housekeeper, she is fair and polite in her dealings, and has already established her prestige in her own house.

Lin Hongyu was originally trying to stand up for her, but seeing that Xing Xiuyan had spoken, she did not dare to say much. She quickly ordered someone outside to go to the front yard to pass a message to Zhen Shiyin, while she stood up and followed Xing Xiuyan to help Zhang Yunyi get dressed.

Zhang Yunyi was quite satisfied with Xing Xiuyan's general handling style, and thought to himself that it was time to find an opportunity for Youshi to delegate power to her.

After putting on his clothes, he went to the front yard and met Zhen Shiyin who had received the news.

Because there was also a maid from the Xue family, the two did not talk much on the way and only asked about the general situation.

"I don't know either. I only know that He San accompanied the master out, and when he came back, he was unconscious..."

This was expected. Seeing that the maid could not get anything out of them, Zhang Yunyi and Zhen Shiyin looked at each other and said no more.

When we arrived at Xue's house, we saw that the room was already full of people. Xue Pan was lying straight on the couch with his eyes closed.

Aunt Xue's face was pale as she lay in front of the couch, looking at the unconscious Xue Pan. Mrs. Wang was trying to comfort her. Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin were standing there blankly with tears in their eyes.

Although Mrs. Xue was also as nervous as an ant on the hot pan, there was no sign of panic on her face.

This was also Zhang Yun逸's arrangement. Xue Pan's life or death was unknown, and Aunt Xue could not just turn to him for help. The play had to be performed realistically, so it had to be done with great fanfare.

Although Zhang Yun逸 had warned everyone beforehand, Aunt Xue couldn't help but feel worried when she saw her son unconscious.

Seeing Zhang Yunyi bringing Zhen Shiyin into the house, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She didn't care about avoiding suspicion and quickly knelt in front of Zhang Yunyi, grabbed his hand, and said anxiously: "Yun... Yunyi, nothing will happen to Wenlong, right?"

Although what happened in the Xue family might not spread outside, there is always a chance of something happening.

If Aunt Xue behaved too abnormally, it would arouse suspicion.

Seeing Aunt Xue's expression, Zhang Yunyi felt a lot more relieved.

Zhang Yunyi felt a little guilty. He glanced at Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin. Seeing that they did not show any abnormality, he patted Aunt Xue's hand and said cryptically, "Don't panic, Aunt. With Mr. Zhen here, he will definitely protect Wenlong."

Others thought that Zhang Yunyi was just comforting her, but Aunt Xue felt relieved after hearing it and turned to look at Zhen Shiyin again.

"Please, sir, please make sure to protect Wenlong..."

Zhen Shiyin didn't wait for her to finish, and waved his hand and said, "There are too many people here, you guys go out first!"

Zhang Yunyi quickly agreed, "Yes! Let's go out first and don't disturb the master from taking your pulse."

When Zhen Shiyin prepared the medicine, he naturally had a backup plan, but he didn't want the people present to see it.

Zhang Yunyi came to the side hall with everyone else and said in a pretentious manner, "What happened? Why did he suddenly faint? I heard from the maid that He San accompanied him out. Call him in for questioning!"

Aunt Xue knew the whole story, and since He Sanben was Zhou Rui's godson, she didn't take it out on him. Only after Zhang Yunyi reminded her did she remember this and hurriedly looked at Mrs. Wang.

Madam Wang shouted quickly, "Since Yun Yi said so, why don't you go and get him here!"

He San was brought in tied up and started crying, "I'm innocent! Master Yi, please understand. I was just a coachman. I sent Master Xue to Jinxiangyuan. I was waiting outside and I knew nothing!" Although he cried out that he was innocent, his eyes were glancing at Zhang Yunyi intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhang Yunyi's heart was moved, and he shouted sternly: "How dare you cry injustice! Wenlong has been to Jinxiangyuan more than once, why didn't something happen earlier or later, but happened when you accompanied him?"

"Master, please understand. Eight out of ten times when Master Xue went to Jinxiang Courtyard, I was the one who accompanied him..."

After hearing this, Zhang Yunyi became more convinced that this kid must know that something went wrong when Xue Pan took the medicine.

According to Xue Pan's personality, since I found this rare and excellent medicine for him, he would definitely show it off everywhere.

He wanted to give the emperor a clue, hoping to connect Xue Pan's coma to the medicine through He San.

However, it was obvious that He San was covering up for himself, which made Zhang Yunyi feel a little amused.

He could only find fault with the matter and said, "Even so, you can't escape the charge of failing to take good care of your child. If you can give me a reason, I can spare your life. If you can't give me a reason, don't blame me for being cruel!"

"I know my crime, I know my crime! I am willing to be punished, I really don't know anything, sir!"

Originally, he thought that even if his life was at stake, he would force He San to sell himself out.

Unexpectedly, he insisted that he knew nothing.

Although most people present did not know why he was competing with He San, no one would stand up for a slave.

Zhang Yun逸 was in a dilemma when he saw Zhen Shiyin walk in.

"What's the matter?" Aunt Xue hurried forward.

"Madam, don't worry. Master Xue is no longer in danger of death!"

Aunt Xue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this.

However, Zhen Shiyin glanced at Zhang Yunyi, shook his head, and continued: "Master Xue has long been strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Now his energy is scattered. Although his life is not in danger, he is..."

What he said was obscure and difficult to understand. To put it in plain terms, it means infertility.

Zhang Yunyi quickly took over the conversation and asked, "Could it be that the medicine I asked for him harmed Wenlong instead?"

This was originally planned, but Zhang Yunyi noticed that He San seemed to know something and thought that forcing him to confess would make it easier to gain people's trust, so he temporarily changed his strategy.

Unexpectedly, He San refused to listen and had no choice but to follow the plan.

He San, who was kneeling on the ground, was obviously stunned when he heard this.

Zhang Yunyi guessed correctly, he did know, and even thought about it more, so no matter how Zhang Yunyi asked, he didn't dare to utter a word.

He never thought that after he had gone to so much trouble to help conceal the truth, Zhang Yunyi would reveal the truth instead.

The expression on Mrs. Wang's face suddenly became interesting.

Prime Minister Bai knows he still presses the sword, and Zhumenxianda smiles and flicks the crown.

There are many people who are afraid of others' wealth and laugh at others' poverty.

Whenever Mrs. Wang thought of her own son Jia Baoyu, who had taken a wrong path, she felt heartbroken but also jealous of others.

This is especially true for my younger sister.

Hearing that Xue Pan was injured and suffered from infertility, I felt much better.

Moreover, this medicine came from Zhang Yunyi, which made her feel more interested in watching the fun.

I thought that even if Aunt Xue didn't break up with Zhang Yunyi, she would at least show some emotion. Unexpectedly, I didn't see any expectant expression on her face.

Just as he was a little confused, he heard Zhen Shiyin shaking his head and said, "The ice is three feet thick, it is not formed in one day. This medicine for tigers and wolves is not poison. How can it be that one pill will kill everyone?"

This was also arranged in advance.

However, Zhang Yunyi did not take advantage of the situation to back off. Instead, he said with a look of annoyance: "That being said, I am still not free from the responsibility. How can I feel at ease? Sir, do you have any way to recover?"

Zhen Shiyin's face twitched, he shook his head and sighed, "If it was a year or two earlier, I might have a way, but now I'm afraid the chance is slim..."

"What!?" Aunt Xue and Zhang Yunyi exclaimed at the same time.

According to the original script, Zhen Shiyin took the opportunity to propose a way to recover, which could not only scare and restrain Xue Pan, but also avoid leaving any clues in the future.

Zhen Shiyin also heard the doubts of the two people, and hurriedly said cryptically: "What I said is absolutely true. At least I am powerless. If you don't believe me, you can ask more famous doctors to diagnose me."

After hearing this, not only did Mrs. Wang's expression become interesting, but even Mrs. Xue next to her also showed a strange look.

Zhang Yunyi could not help but be stunned. That day, in order to get Aunt Xue to cooperate, he had even mentioned that there were many people in Xue Pan's room but no one made any noise.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a prophecy.

He looked at Aunt Xue embarrassedly, but saw that her face was ashen and her body was limp.

Zhang Yunyi was quick to grab her arm and prevent her from hitting the ground with her head.
