The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 723: Madam Niu finally enters the Jade Emperor Temple
Because Princess Beijing was too enthusiastic, Zhang Yun逸 missed the night's accommodation.

It was not until noon that I slowly woke up.

Although Princess Beijing was more physically and mentally exhausted than Zhang Yunyi, she had no time to rest. As soon as she woke up, she hurriedly packed up and urged to set off as soon as possible.

Although she didn't have time to take any valuables with her, she had to pack a few sets of clothes and some hairpins and jewelry.

After rushing around, we finally finished cleaning up at noon.

When he arrived at the front yard, he happened to meet Shui Rong. Accompanied by Jia Baoyu and Jiang Yuhan, he returned to the palace.

Although they were caught by Prince Beijing, Zhang Yun逸 and Princess Beijing acted with confidence.

In addition, although the three men of Prince Beijing had the advantage in terms of numbers, Zhang Yunyi made them unable to hold their heads up in terms of momentum and other aspects.

With a nonchalant look on his face, Prince Beijing sent him off with his princess, leaving the palace.

As for the Rongguo Mansion, they had already informed Lady Jia in advance, and Zhang Yunyi did not accompany them.

He rushed straight to the palace to report the princess's itinerary, and then returned to Tiangongyuan, which he had not set foot in for a few days, and picked up his job.

Although he did not gain any substantial promotion in his official position after rescuing the emperor this time.

But there are indeed many hidden benefits.

Let’s not talk about Princess Beijing’s sisters and Miaoyu for now.

In addition to eliminating the troublesome Prince Ning, the benefits in terms of reputation were also considerable.

Thanks to the fact that the retired emperor, in order to cover up his shame, framed Prince Ning and Niu Jizong with the crime of obstructing the study of Taoism.

Although, this crime could not be concealed from the officials and guards who participated in the spring ploughing ceremony.

But even the people present, thinking of the two unlucky guys who were caught in the disaster, couldn't help but feel that Zhang Yunyi's rescue was like divine help.

In addition, the retired emperor forced the involvement of Emperor Xingxian, which made them think of Zhang Yun逸's experience of escaping death.

Although it is said that Confucius does not speak of strange and supernatural things, it is better to believe in them than not to believe in them. Even the officials who knew the inside story could not help but be suspicious and had a greater respect for Zhang Yun逸.

Those who were not aware of the inside story, upon learning that Prince Ning was demoted to a commoner for obstructing the study of immortality, became more and more awed by the study of immortality, the Tiangong Academy, and its chief officer Zhang Yun逸.

It has invisibly brought a lot of convenience to the School of Immortality and the Tiangong Academy.

Zhang Yun逸 also took this opportunity to expand maritime trade, increase import and export trade, and increase investment in shipyards.

Although the emperor did not immediately adopt his suggestion, since he had already made up his mind, it would not be a bad idea to make some corresponding preparations in advance.

Everything was moving in a stable and positive direction, except for Mrs. Niu, whose case was delayed until the end of the month because Niu Jizon was going to execute her. The matter was finally settled and she was sent to Zhang Yunyi's mansion along with her indenture.

The mansion built by imperial decree was not private property. The emperor kept his word, and the Rongguo Mansion had no right and dared not raise any objection.

Nowadays, the Grand View Garden has been incorporated into the Duke of Wei’s mansion, and the Jade Emperor Temple is naturally also in his mansion.

However, although this news was known to everyone outside, most of the golden hairpins in the Grand View Garden were still kept in the dark.

Zhang Yun逸 was because of the Princess of Beijing who was in the Jade Emperor Temple, pretending to chant sutras and pray for him, and Jia's grandmother was also happy to keep the face of the Rongguo Mansion, so everyone was happy.

The reason why it is most, not all, is because Baochai and Shi Xiangyun each have their own channels for obtaining information.

Before Prince Zhang Yunyi's identity was confirmed, the princess came to his house in person to chant scriptures and pray for him.

It was precisely because of the various news she heard outside that Xue Baochai felt more and more far-sighted.

At the same time, a sense of urgency is inevitable.

This is a later story. …

Jinyiwei Yamen.

Several Jinyiwei came to the quiet room where Madam Niu was, took out the key, and said, "Our Duke of Wei is really as his name suggests. With such a great contribution, he actually refused the huge reward and wanted to be Niu Jizong's wife."

"No wonder Duke Wei repeatedly told us to treat Madam Niu well and even moved her to a new place. Tsk tsk..."

"You don't want to live?"

One of them glanced around nervously and pointed inside the house.

"It's not like she didn't listen to Niu Jizong's confession during the interrogation." The first person who spoke didn't take it seriously, but then lowered his voice and added, "Maybe what we said can save Duke Wei a lot of trouble. He has to thank us! Hehehe!"

After that, he opened the door and said to Madam Niu who was in a daze in the room: "The emperor has graciously awarded you to the Duke of Wei. You should follow us to the Duke of Wei's mansion now!"

Except for the last sentence, the conversation between the people outside the house was not lowered.

Before this, Zhang Yunyi had vowed that he had already made a foolproof plan, allowing her to wait with peace of mind.

There was even a meaningful hint that there would be a chance for her to repay him.

But when she thought of Niu Jizong's intention to assassinate her, she couldn't help feeling confused. After listening to the discussions outside, she was shocked to realize what the reward was.

When Mrs. Niu heard the word "order", her face turned redder.

But even though she was embarrassed, she still listened to what the Jinyiwei said.

Zhang Yun逸 paid such a huge price to save her from torture and save her life.

Regardless of how hard his sister tried, just think of the huge price Zhang Yunyi paid.

Even if it is to repay the favor, you can't let him do nothing for the sake of the ambitious Niu Jizong, right?
She is no longer the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Apart from her body, she really has nothing to repay him. Since she has been given to Zhang Yunyi as a slave, no matter how Zhang Yunyi orders her around, it is understandable. What is there to be entangled about?
Thinking about all these things, I arrived at the Duke of Wei's Mansion under the escort of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. After handing over my indenture, I was led by servants through corridors and doors, making many turns and twists. I didn't know how long I had walked. I was wondering where I would be taken.

But suddenly I heard a familiar call: "Sister!"

Mrs. Niu looked up suddenly and saw her sister looking at her with tears in her eyes.

For a moment, their hearts were filled with confusion and the two sisters hugged each other and cried.

a long time.

The two of them just let go, and Mrs. Niu was a little surprised and asked, "Why is my sister here?"

“This…” Princess Beijing couldn’t help but think of the agreement with Zhang Yunyi. She didn’t know where to start, so she quickly changed the subject and said, “The hot water is ready. Sister, go take a shower and change your clothes first to get rid of the bad luck.”

Princess Beijing had already received the news from Zhang Yunyi, and not only prepared hot water for bathing in advance, but also made several sets of clothes in advance.

Mrs. Niu did not notice anything unusual. While being pulled into the house by her sister, she raised her head and glanced at the plaque on the gate, and only then did she see the words "Jade Emperor Temple".

She was thinking in her heart, could this be the place where Zhang Yunyi arranged for her to live?
What Zhang Yunyi meant by "ordering" was to let him stay with the ancient Buddha and green lamps, chanting scriptures and reciting Buddhist scriptures?
Somehow, instead of feeling relieved, she actually felt a little confused and at a loss.

If Zhang Yun逸 really does not ask for anything in return, then how can I repay him?

She seemed to be stuck in a dead end and felt lost.

She stepped into the bathtub in a daze and immersed her whole body in the hot water, then she suddenly shuddered.

She and Zhang Yunyi had no relationship, but instead became enemies because of Niu Jizon.

If Zhang Yunyi was really like what the Jinyiwei said, she could still feel at ease, but if not, why did he not even want the reward for saving the emperor, but insisted on saving herself?
Could it be... that my sister wants to pay it back on my behalf?
