The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 711 You’re welcome

Princess Beijing followed Lechen to the gate of the side courtyard. Seeing her retreat, she hesitated slightly, but finally gave up the idea of ​​escaping and walked in.

I have already sold Shui Rong once in prison. This time, it would be fine if I can't help, but if Zhang Yun逸 comes and I avoid him, wouldn't that be a hindrance?

When she arrived at the courtyard and saw Zhang Yunyi standing in the pavilion, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She walked gracefully to the front of the pavilion, bowed to Zhang Yunyi and said, "Duke Wei!"

The situation was stronger than the person. Although Zhang Yun逸 should have been respectful to her as the princess, a phoenix with its feathers plucked was no better than a chicken and she had to ask for help from others, so she naturally did not dare to put on airs in front of Zhang Yun逸.

Zhang Yunyi had his hands behind his back, pretending to be serious, but his heart was shaken when he heard the voice.

Although it was not the first time that he had heard Princess Beijing's voice, the sound was inevitably distorted due to the copper tubes and other devices in the cell and the environment.

But now, it was so close that he could hear it clearly, and it came with a certain emotion, which just scratched his itch.

He swallowed and slowly turned around.

I saw the princess, her two curved eyebrows painted like distant mountains, a pair of eyes like autumn water, a snow-white neck, as white as frost and snow, and a slender waist, which hinted at her charming charm.

Even though Zhang Yunyi was used to seeing beautiful women and had been mentally prepared from what Xing Xiuyan, Prince Beijing and the emperor had said, he was still amazed when he saw the real person.

Although she is slightly inferior to Wang Xifeng in beauty, not as charming as Qin Keqing, not as plump as Xue Baochai, and not as elegant and refined as Lin Daiyu.

It is possible to possess the advantages of four people at the same time and blend them together perfectly. Although each item has not reached the extreme, there is a kind of wonder that you have four kinds of happiness at the same time.

She was especially nervous at this moment, with her hands clenched between her abdomen and chest, her eyes flickering, like a frightened seven-colored deer hiding from hunters.

It adds a few different styles.

Because he already had preconceived ideas, Zhang Yunyi looked at Princess Beijing with an unscrupulous look.

Princess Beijing already had some guesses, and when she saw Zhang Yunyi said nothing but looked at her with burning eyes, she suddenly panicked.

However, Zhang Yunyi's image coincided with the vague figure in his dream last night.

Fortunately, he did not take any further action, so Princess Beijing did not flee in panic.

However, Zhang Yunyi was able to remain calm, but Princess Beijing was upset. She suppressed her emotions and spoke again, "Duke Wei asked me to come here. What advice do you have?"

Because she was worried that Zhang Yun逸 would take advantage of her situation and make unreasonable demands, she pretended to be invited here and put the hat on Zhang Yun逸's head.

How could Zhang Yun逸 be easily controlled by others?
Instead of answering, he asked, "The Queen sent a message to Xiuyan. Wasn't it for Prince Beijing to find Zhang?"

Having said this, he did not wait for Princess Beijing to respond, and said to himself: "I just don't want Xiu Yan to be embarrassed, so I avoided the embarrassment and came here. Am I being too sentimental?"

He was also worried that Princess Beijing would be embarrassed, so he added an explanation with a double entendre and a hint of self-conceit, intending to hint at Princess Beijing.

Princess Beijing heard the double meaning in his words, but she didn't expect Zhang Yunyi to be so straightforward.

However, what she was worried about was that Zhang Yunyi would take advantage of others' misfortune like Niu Jizong, and his double-entendre-filled temptations made her feel relieved.

"Duke Wei is right. I was rude. I just wanted to ask Sister Xiuyan to convey it to clear up the misunderstanding. I didn't expect Duke Wei to come in person."

She bowed again, explained, and then said: "Duke Wei should know that even if the prince had some unhappiness with the Duke before, he would definitely not harm the Duke, and a while ago... they had reconciled their past grudges, so there is no reason for him to harm the Duke. Please be fair and clear the prince's name..."

Zhang Yunyi was at his ease, listening to her talk for a long time. When he saw that she had no more to say, he waited for a while before asking, "That's all?"

"..." Princess Beijing was stunned, and said with a red face, "No more..."

Zhang Yunyi sneered: "Did your Majesty forget? This matter also concerns His Majesty. Do you think that I will risk defending Shui Rong just because of your empty words?"

"The Duke has done justice, and the prince will be grateful!"

"Your Highness?" Zhang Yunyi heard the hidden meaning in his words and said meaningfully, "Your Highness is now in prison. Could it be that the princess is unwilling to sacrifice anything for him?"

He just thought that Princess Beijing was too embarrassed to speak up, so he simply gave her a way out. This statement could almost be considered an explicit statement.

Even if Princess Beijing couldn't save her face, as long as they didn't refuse, it would be a tacit understanding between them.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Princess Beijing folded her arms across her chest, took a step back, and looked at him warily.

"Please respect yourself, Duke. If you can make a fair and just judgment, the prince and I will be very grateful!"

There is nothing to talk about.

Zhang Yunyi didn't know what the problem was, but seeing Princess Beijing's attitude, he couldn't be without bottom line. He immediately said angrily: "In this case, Zhang will not bother you anymore."

After saying that, he walked out of the pavilion.

When he passed by Princess Beijing, a faint fragrance wafted into his nose. He couldn't help but feel unwilling and counted down silently: "Three, two..."

Although she didn't count to one for a long time, Princess Beijing didn't call him as in some plots.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and he stopped and said, "There is something I forgot to tell the princess. I am aware of the situation you described, and I don't think the prince wants to harm me, so I didn't go in this direction from the beginning..."

At this point, he paused, and then continued, "I have to thank the princess for the information she provided, which saved me from taking many detours. I caught Niu Jizong and his wife last night, and he has confessed!"

"I……"

Princess Beijing was very alert and was wondering when she had provided information. But when she heard Zhang Yunyi's next words, she was shocked and said, "What did you say?"

Zhang Yunyi said to himself, as expected!

The emperor had high hopes for him and hoped that he could win the Princess of Beijing in one fell swoop so as to bring honor to Concubine Zhen.

And Zhang Yunyi really didn't want to miss a beauty like Princess Beijing.

Of course, he would never admit the latter.

Yesterday, he only thought that Princess Beijing was involved, so he deliberately ignored Niu Jizon's instigation of Prince Beijing.

After getting Niu Jizong's confession, he just thought that Princess Beijing deliberately changed the subject yesterday because of what happened in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

But just now, he suddenly realized that even if Niu Jizon had bad intentions, it would not be easy to tell Prince Beijing who was in prison.

But the doubts that are instigated should never be covered up.

If she had an affair with Niu Jizong, it would be understandable for her to help cover it up, but she chose to escape from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

All these contradictions can only be explained by taking into account Niu Jizong's sister, who is his wife.

Now, just looking at Princess Beijing's expression, he felt even more confident.

He turned to look at Princess Beijing and said, "Isn't what Zhang said clear enough? The Duke of Zhenguo and his wife have been imprisoned. I think the prince will be vindicated soon."

Princess Beijing's head buzzed, and the dazzling array of torture instruments in the prison yesterday, as well as the tragic scene of her sister being tortured, suddenly emerged in her mind uncontrollably.

Especially, Zhang Yunyi's words "thank you" made her feel even more regretful.

Although she didn't know that the confession provided the clue, she became suspicious of Niu Jizong's instigation of Shui Rong.

How could he not know that Zhang Yun逸 had eavesdropped on the conversation in the cell?
However, at this moment, she no longer cared about whether Prince Beijing asked her to humble herself in front of Zhang Yunyi and whether Zhang Yunyi had heard it. She also did not care about the embarrassment.

Zhang Yunyi laughed again and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you don't know yet. Madam Niu let you run away, and Niu Jizong was furious. If the guards hadn't caught you in time, Madam Niu's face would have been ruined by him!"

Zhang Yun逸's words were undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Princess Beijing's legs were trembling, and she felt her body go limp. She was about to fall to the ground. She gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, leaned forward, and threw herself into Zhang Yunyi's arms.

She hugged Zhang Yunyi's waist tightly, pressed her face into his arms, and said in a trembling voice: "As long as the Duke can save my sister, Yuhuan will repay you in any way!"

Before, she was unwilling to make sacrifices for Shui Rong, but now, she was worried whether Zhang Yunyi would accept it, so in desperation, she even called him by his maiden name.

The soft jade-like fragrance filled his nose, and Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but feel short of breath.

However, he, who was fully aware of the situation, felt like joking. He held Princess Beijing's armpits with both hands and held her dough-like body in front of him.

Fang smiled and said, "Since the princess said that you can repay her in any way, then Zhang would like to ask the princess, are you willing to sleep in the same bed with Zhang?"

Princess Beijing blushed, tilted her head back slightly, looked up at Zhang Yunyi and said, "As long as you can save my sister, Yuhuan is willing to serve Duke Wei wholeheartedly!"

"Okay! Then Zhang will not be polite!"

After Zhang Yunyi finished speaking, he squatted down, grabbed Princess Beijing, and held her horizontally in his arms.
