The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 766: Endless Aftertaste
The next day, at dawn.

There was just a hint of paleness in the sky.

Zhang Yunyi, who was standing in front of the hot spring villa, watched the carriage in front of the villa slowly drive away, then turned back to the meeting room and closed his eyes to rest.

Concubine Wu was worthy of being the emperor's woman. Her flexible figure and humble posture made Zhang Yun逸 amazed.

I couldn't help but hold my waist and go up again and again.

Although Concubine Wu does have a charm that can captivate everyone, there is no shortage of beauties of different styles in Zhang Yunyi's family, and there is even Qin Keqing, who has a similar style to Concubine Wu, so she is not so charming.

On the one hand, he was worried about arousing Concubine Wu's vigilance, and wanted to take advantage of her distraught state to pry open her mouth without making any noise.

On the other hand, since the emperor wanted Concubine Wu to come and make him let down his guard, he might as well take a bite first, no matter how beautiful she is.

He has to give me some meat buns... He loses both the wife and the army.

However, I didn't expect that I could actually get some unexpected news from Concubine Wu.

It has been more than a year since the death of the retired emperor Long Yu. Although Concubine Wu's old house was not like a house that had caught fire, it was an indisputable fact that it had been deserted for a long time.

Besides, he was already confused by Zhang Yunyi's previous series of actions, so how could he withstand his repeated interrogation?
In a daze, everything that should and shouldn't be said was revealed.

Although the situation was different from what Zhang Yun逸 had guessed, it was obvious that the emperor was targeting him.

However, Zhang Yun逸 felt relieved when he learned that Concubine Wu had secretly hidden a secret decree targeting him.

After all, according to Concubine Wu's explanation, the emperor was worried that he would not survive until that time, so he entrusted her with the secret decree.

It's a pity that Concubine Wu not only did not give the secret decree to Gu Dashou and Lu Bing as he instructed, but instead, by mistake, it was delivered to her own hands. It can only be said that it was fate.

In addition, last night in the hot spring villa, there was a lot of turmoil and excitement.

But inside and outside the capital, as well as in the surrounding Eight Guards military camps, everything was calm and peaceful.

Even though Concubine Wu was also in the emperor's calculations, he did not seize such a good opportunity last night.

It also indirectly confirmed that the emperor did not dare to act rashly.

The emperor wanted to delay, which was exactly what Zhang Yun逸 wanted.

Don’t think that Zhang Yunyi and Concubine Wu pretended to be the emperor last night.

In fact, Zhang Yun逸 was only trying to protect himself and had no interest in rebellion.

Although the position of emperor is tempting, being trapped in the Forbidden Palace and surrounded by a bunch of eunuchs is really boring.

If he really had any ambitions, he could just follow the map and establish a country anywhere overseas, which would be much simpler and easier than establishing Daxia.

Besides, splashing ink on a white paper is definitely more arbitrary and easy than scribbling and making changes in Daxia and fighting with various forces.

However, although he did not mind a story of a monarch and his subjects complementing each other, since the emperor wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Then all I can say is that you are unkind and I am unjust.

Zhang Yun逸 not only did not feel any guilt about putting a hat on the emperor, but instead planned to make him wear the hat tightly.

If riding the emperor's horse and watering the imperial garden seemed a bit far-fetched, then this time he really got to experience the thrill of being an emperor.

However, Zhang Yunyi, who always coveted more, became more curious about Empress Zhou after experiencing the charm of Concubine Wu.

And that secret decree could not only sow discord between the Queen and the Emperor, but would also undoubtedly exploit the Queen's weakness.

The emperor, who has been ill for a year and a half, must have been powerless a long time ago, right?

Thinking about last night, Concubine Wu was getting better and better, and even becoming increasingly obsessed.

He became more and more looking forward to Queen Zhou's reaction.

"My queen...you don't want to..."

Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but imagine a popular plot in his mind, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth began to smile upward, which he could no longer suppress.

...Si time.

The Imperial Palace, on the road leading to the harem from Chengtian Gate.

Concubine Wu, dressed as a palace maid, was walking towards the palace in a daze with her head lowered and her face half covered.

Suddenly, a low voice came from my ear: "My Lady! Why did you come back just now?"

Concubine Wu raised her head in a hurry and saw Xia Shouzhong walking towards her, unable to hide his anxiety.

She hurriedly pulled at the scarf around her cheek and explained in a trembling voice, "I didn't make it back to the palace last night. I felt uneasy and couldn't sleep all night. I was groggy this morning and overslept. What...what happened?"

How could she have overslept?

It was obvious that he didn't sleep at all.

Even though her bones and muscles were numb, she still couldn't sleep in the carriage on the way back to the city.

Normally, she should have left the hot spring villa at daybreak and would not have waited until now to return to the palace.

However, although Zhang Yunyi promised to stand on her side, his erratic attitude still made Concubine Wu feel uncertain.

She was afraid of leaving any mistakes, so she didn't dare leave the fox fur and long coat, which were already in tatters, to Zhang Yunyi to deal with.

Therefore, after returning to the city, he went straight back to the Wu family to destroy the dirty things.

At the same time, because Zhang Yunyi took her in and out of the hot spring seven times and soaked in it for half a night, the lingering scent on her body, as well as the traces and smell of soaking in the hot spring for a long time, lingered for a long time.

Concubine Wu had no choice but to bathe again at home and put on some plain powder to cover up the aftereffects on her face.

Thinking of this, Concubine Wu couldn't help but recall the madness of last night.

This long-lost...

No, it's more than ten times stronger than the emperor who took medicine.

After all, medication can only make up for software deficiencies, but hard conditions cannot be changed by medication.

At first, Concubine Wu also suspected that Zhang Yun逸 had taken some kind of elixir like the emperor.

After all, Zhang Yunyi lingered outside for a long time before leaving and coming back. It makes perfect sense that he was waiting for the elixir to take effect.

But as time went by, she gave up the idea.

The reason is simple. Even if the emperor took medicine, he could not be as hard-working as Zhang Yun逸, and every time he took the medicine, he would feel exhausted for a long time.

However, Zhang Yun逸 not only did not suffer any sequelae, but became stronger with each battle.

It is said that there are only cows that die of exhaustion, but no fields that are plowed to death. However, even though his whole body was falling apart, Zhang Yunyi was still as strong as a dragon.

If he really took the medicine, I'm afraid it was not the kind of fierce medicine that the emperor took, which was reckless and harmful to the body, but a magic elixir, right?
She was daydreaming and thinking about all sorts of things, which actually confirmed her claim that she had trouble sleeping.

In addition, Xia Shouzhong was also uneasy. As a eunuch, he had no experience in this area and could not detect the difference.

However, Concubine Wu's slow pace made Xia Shouzhong anxious, and he hurriedly urged her in a low voice: "Hurry up, your Majesty, go and see His Majesty! As soon as you left yesterday, His Majesty vomited a lot of blood. If he hadn't been worried about exposing your absence from the palace, I'm afraid he might not have survived until now..."

"This... If I go now... wouldn't that... harm His Majesty?"

Just now I couldn't help but think of the scene last night. Now I feel my cheeks burning, and I don't know if the powder on my face can cover it up.

Concubine Wu said with a guilty conscience: "Or... let me go back and change..."

"Oh! My queen! Please come to see His Majesty first, don't wait until His Majesty can't hold on and dies! If His Majesty hadn't urged me, why would I come here now?"

Seeing that things had come to this point, Concubine Wu could no longer refuse. She could only try her best to calm down while speeding up her pace.

And he prayed secretly that the emperor would not see the clues on his face.
