The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 715 Unexpected and Reasonable
The Mansion of Duke Wei, a pavilion overlooking the water.

The wind stopped and the rain ceased. Zhang Yunyi leaned against the head of the bed, hugged Xing Xiuyan, and told her everything about his experiences over the past two days.

Others were worried about having a miscarriage, but Xing Xiuyan had no such concerns.

In addition, Xing Xiuyan is a prudent person. If everyone in the mansion keeps it a secret, and if there is any disturbance outside and it gets back home, the rumors may not be a good thing.

It is worth mentioning that he did not completely delete the plot related to Princess Beijing, but only selectively ignored the part where he went to Narcissus Temple.

The purpose is, of course, to lay the groundwork for the future...

However, even so, Xing Xiuyan was shocked and spat, "He is a prince after all, but he actually..."

"This kind of dandy is used to enjoying life, so he can't stand the hardship. He was so scared that he peed his pants without even being tortured."

Zhang Yunyi said lightly.

He didn't know yet that Miaoyu had seen his intimacy with the princess, so she planned to lay the groundwork and create a time difference in the future.

So he continued, "I am now the chief officer of the case, and the princess is still living in the Narcissus Temple. You should avoid Miaoyu for the time being and don't go there."

Xing Xiuyan said obediently: "Master, don't worry, Xiuyan knows the importance of this matter."

Zhang Yunyi reminded him again: "It's good that you know about this matter. The emperor and the emperor haven't finalized some details yet. Don't tell anyone. I have already informed the guards, and the West Palace will also keep an eye on it."

"Got it, Master. You've worked hard for two days. Rest early!"

Seeing Zhang Yunyi nodded, Xing Xiuyan hurriedly shouted outside: "Hongyu! Come in and blow out the lights, I'm going to sleep!"

……

Silent all night.

Zhang Yunyi slept until noon, ate a quick breakfast and lunch, and didn't even bother to exercise.

He just said hello to Xing Xiuyan: "I may not be able to come back these few days, so please take care of the house!"

So he hurried to the palace.

It’s not that Zhang Yun逸 was lazy, this was agreed upon with the emperor.

Although Qiu Duo and Lu Bing were not idle either, Zhang Yun逸 was also implicated in the assassination, so their treatment was naturally different.

As soon as he entered the imperial study, he saw the emperor couldn't hide his excitement and said, "My dear minister, please get up quickly!"

Zhang Yunyi observed his expression and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you have any good news?"

"As expected, it is Minister Zhang who understands me best!" The emperor said with a smile, "This morning, my father sent the imperial physician to the Western Garden. Concubine Zhen was shocked to hear that Prince Ning was demoted and suddenly fell ill. I'm afraid she won't live for many days!"

"This...so fast?"

Zhang Yun逸 couldn't help but sigh that the emperor was so decisive.

However, on second thought, after all, the root of the problem lies with Prince Ning. As long as we cut the Gordian knot and stop Prince Ning's thoughts, the others will calm down.

This is also a routine operation for the retired emperor who had experienced the rebellion of Prince Yoshitada.

"It was just decided this morning, and he has just been exiled to the clan house."

Concubine Zhen's treatment was just the icing on the cake. Prince Ning was the one who bore the brunt of the consequences, and the emperor only answered the key points.

At this point, he suddenly remembered something and said, "I forgot to tell you, my dear minister, that my father felt that the prince was plotting to murder his subjects, and it would not sound good to tell others about it, so he eventually convicted him and Niu Jizong of obstructing the study of immortals and disobeying the late Emperor Xingxian!"

Although they had originally intended to let him take the blame, Zhang Yunyi was still somewhat surprised by it.

However, the crime arranged by the retired emperor actually raised the status of Taoism and Zhang Yunyi to a much higher level.

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Zhang Yun逸 was about to test the waters.

Unexpectedly, the emperor teased, "How is it? You have slept until now. Is it because Princess Beijing is too annoying, or are you so anxious that you can't bear to get out of bed?" Zhang Yunyi deliberately said, "I slept at home last night."

Emperor Wanlong was surprised and asked, "Why? You still can't take her down?"

"That's not..."

Zhang Yunyi then told the whole story of his battle of wits and courage with Princess Beijing yesterday, how he had wrestled with the other party during the bargaining, and how he had cleverly made her let down her guard without making any concessions, and how he had also tied saving people to the unity of the sisters, and a series of other events.

Of course, in order to avoid touching the emperor's emotions, he only narrated the process of the literary fight, and ignored the two-hour physical fight and never mentioned it.

"Good! Good! As expected of you!"

Zhang Yunyi, the person involved, was not in any trouble, but Emperor Wanlong was so excited that he clapped his hands in applause.

If it wasn't dark yet, he would have wanted to rush back to the harem immediately and find a companion for Concubine Wu.

Well, Madam Miaoyin is pregnant, which makes the emperor still feel that something is not perfect.

Zhang Yunyi saw that he had touched the emperor's itch, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "I am also speaking the truth. Although Madam Niu is slightly inferior to the princess, if she is... she can also add some fun."

When a person is happy, he is in high spirits. Emperor Wanlong said with a smile: "If that's the case, then I will grant your wish!"

"Thank you..." Zhang Yunyi hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Wanlong held him back and said, "Don't be so quick to thank me! I have a prerequisite."

"Please give me your Majesty's orders!"

"Sir, I am not kidding. Although the old witch is dying, I have already said that I will do something to bring glory to her. There is no reason to take it back. If I give her to you as a slave, she will lose a lot of her luster..."

"Your Majesty, please make it clear!"

The so-called addition of glory was to send Mrs. Niu to the Music Bureau, which was obviously contrary to Zhang Yun逸's request of bringing her back home.

For a moment, he was somewhat confused about the emperor's intentions.

The emperor smiled playfully and said, "If you can let Princess Beijing, with the title of princess, live in your palace with her sister and keep her in your golden house, it can be regarded as making up for her sister's shortcomings. I will not hesitate to agree to your request."

Zhang Yun逸 thought that it was an unacceptable request, such as asking Madam Niu to go through the Jiaofangsi first.

I didn’t expect it to be so simple.

However, he was afraid that if he agreed too readily, the emperor would make another request, so he bargained: "Even if the princess is willing, Prince Beijing is now innocent and free of guilt. Even if he is still in the dark, once he is released..."

"I don't care about that!" The emperor seemed to feel that it was too much to ask, and added, "However, I can keep him in prison for a few more days until the result comes from Prince Ning!"

Zhang Yunyi continued to bargain: "Even so, it may not be easy for him not to regret it later. Can we compromise and let the princess stay in the Grand View Garden of Rongguo Mansion?

Your Majesty doesn't know yet, but I have too many concubines in my family and I can't arrange them all. Some of them live in the Grand View Garden of Rongguo Mansion. In fact, there is no difference. I have already thought of a place. There is a Jade Emperor Temple, and it just so happens that the names of the two sisters of Princess Beijing both contain the word "玉" (jade). "

After hearing that Zhang Yunyi had even arranged a place to live, the emperor stopped making things difficult for him. He waved his hand and said, "Rongguo Mansion was also built by imperial decree. Since you have a concubine living in the garden, I will simply give you the garden. After all, now that the crime has been changed, it is not easy to give you another reward. Just consider it a reward for saving the emperor this time!"

It actually made no difference whether the Grand View Garden was allocated to him or not, Zhang Yun逸 didn’t care.

However, he was also worried about complications, so he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Then I will give it a try?"

"Go! I'm waiting for your good news. As long as the princess lives in your house, I will send her over... But even if you can't do it, you still have a share of her. The worst that can happen is that you have to go to the Jiaofang Bureau a few more times!"

At this point, the emperor added: "The man is in jail now anyway. If you want to use the public power for personal gain and inspect the goods first, I will naturally be happy to oblige you."

"That's not necessary!" Zhang Yunyi said pretentiously, "However, I will go to the Jinyiwei as soon as possible to say hello. If I get hurt by the Jinyiwei, I will suffer a great loss."
