The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 777: Compare
When a person dies, it is like a light going out. These concubines were more like the emperor's subjects than his wives and concubines.

In addition, everyone was indeed frightened last night, and under the pressure of Zhang Yunyi's remaining prestige, no one dared to refute.

Instead, they all seemed relieved, lowered their heads, and filed out.

After all the concubines had left, Zhang Yun逸 ordered Zhou Xiangui to leave, came to the coffin of Emperor Wanlong, kicked a cushion over and sat down.

Then, he gently tapped the emperor's coffin and complained, "Your Majesty, tell me, why are you doing this? Wouldn't it be better if we were united as one and created an unprecedented feat and staged a good story? Why do you have to force me to go to war?"

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject, wiped the corner of his mouth, and said with a wicked smile: "However, the two ladies are so charming, I would like to thank His Majesty for his help..."

Sitting on the futon, they talked about this and that for a while, like a cat crying over a mouse, when suddenly, they heard a "squeak".

Without even turning his head, Zhang Yunyi jokingly said, "Your Majesty, are you eager to wait?"

"It is only natural for me to serve Your Majesty..."

Who else could have said such a thing if not Concubine Wu?

Zhang Yun逸 did not make any prior appointment with Concubine Wu, nor did he pass on any message secretly.

However, since the emperor listed the crimes and recorded his actions in front of Mei Lian's spirit in the secret edict.

I think that Concubine Wu, who has been left out in the cold since last night, will definitely seize the opportunity.

Seeing that it was just as he expected, Zhang Yun逸 no longer pretended to be loyal.

Suddenly, she stood up from the futon, turned around, and looked at Concubine Wu, who was dressed in mourning clothes and bending over to close the door. She said with a smile, "Why don't you come over quickly and let His Majesty take a good look at how our Queen of the West Palace... performs her duties conscientiously?"

"Empress Xigong?" Concubine Wu repeated with some disappointment, then she trotted all the way to Zhang Yunyi, threw herself in his arms and said, "Didn't we agree on that..."

Glancing at Concubine Wu, who was obviously wearing makeup and looked even more seductive, Zhang Yunyi licked his lips and said, "Plans cannot keep up with changes. Although Your Majesty is commendable, the Empress is also making it difficult for me..."

At this point, he patted Concubine Wu's pink back gently and said meaningfully, "How about, Your Majesty, let me compare them and see which one of you is better?"

Concubine Wu was stunned when she heard this, and then, without any hesitation, she turned around and lay on the emperor's coffin.

She arched her long neck, turned her head and looked at Zhang Yunyi, her eyes as charming as silk, and said in a seductive manner: "Then what are you waiting for, Your Majesty..."

The candlelight flickered in the tightly closed doors and windows of the Yangxin Palace, and it was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, just like the secrets in the deep palace, appearing and disappearing.

The light lengthened the shadows, casting them on the mottled ground, like a giant dragon awakening and plunging into the depths of the clouds.

……

Outside the Yangxin Hall.

A plump and well-proportioned figure quietly appeared.

She was wearing a tight black dress, which outlined her curvy figure in every detail. With her chest tucked in and her back hunched back, the beauty behind her was even more clearly highlighted.

If not Queen Zhou, who else could it be?

He tiptoed to the window and put his ear close to it.

Suddenly, a familiar, resentful voice was heard from inside the palace: "Your Majesty!~"

Queen Zhou couldn't help but shudder and almost ran away.

But then he stopped and stared at the window in front of him in confusion.

She was very familiar with this voice; it was that of her great rival, Concubine Wu.

When she suddenly heard this sad cry, she, feeling guilty, thought it was Concubine Wu telling the dead emperor about her crimes of the previous night.

But when he turned around, he could hear that the tone of voice had changed.

Although she came in the dark at the same time as Concubine Wu, unlike Concubine Wu who came to curry favor, the purpose of Queen Zhou's coming was completely different from that of Concubine Wu.

After all, she had never seen the secret decree in Concubine Wu's hand, so she didn't know that Zhang Yunyi had such a hobby. However, although he was not like Concubine Wu, trying to please her, Zhang Yunyi's behavior towards her last night clearly did not seem like he was really keeping vigil for the emperor.

The ancients were superstitious and attached particular importance to corpses.

Although Queen Zhou could not take care of the emperor's body, she was worried that Zhang Yun逸 would use some witchcraft and bring disaster to her son.

Because she was not like Concubine Wu, who always flattered and curried favors, she only hoped to hide her tracks and avoid being discovered, which aroused Zhang Yun逸's suspicion.

Therefore, he did not wear mourning clothes, but after returning to the palace, he changed into black clothes that were easier to hide.

Just as she was wondering why Concubine Wu was also in the palace and confided to the emperor in front of Zhang Yun逸.

Although he didn't mind role-playing, he had chosen to perform in front of the emperor's spirit today in order to add some green on the emperor's head, so naturally he had to act in his true colors.

Faced with Zhang Yun逸's endless tricks, even Concubine Wu, who was used to currying favor and fawning on him, was overwhelmed.

With the experience from last time, she couldn't help but be preconceived, and she was full of seductiveness, panting softly and saying: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty has appointed you as the Queen of the West Palace. Since I serve the Duke, what is the difference between the Duke and Your Majesty?"

Zhang Yunyi had not expected that Concubine Wu would draw such an analogy, and could not help but exclaimed: "Your Majesty is worthy of being your Majesty. Not only is your figure more beautiful than flowers, your body is also more flexible, but your mind is also very clear. After hearing what your Majesty said, I must have a good taste of what it feels like to be your Majesty!"

"Hehehe... Lord Duke, do you think you haven't tasted enough? I have already... Hmm!~"

When Queen Zhou heard this series of conversations, she couldn't help but turn pale.

If before this, she had misunderstood that Concubine Wu was talking to the dead emperor, then at this moment, how could she not tell who she was calling "Your Majesty" to?
Moreover, combining the conversation between the two, what Zhang Yunyi did in Fengzao Palace last night, and his understanding of Concubine Wu, he even imagined the scene inside the palace.

I thought that my humble behavior in front of Zhang Yun逸 last night was shocking enough, but I didn't expect Concubine Wu to be even more excessive.

However, none of this matters. After all, it's just the pot calling the kettle black.

But Concubine Wu's words were filled with evil intentions and she deserves death.

Because I heard that the secret decree in Zhang Yun逸's hand was passed on by the Wu family, and I don't know what happened to Concubine Wu in the hot spring villa.

It was just that Concubine Wu was dissatisfied that Zhang Yun逸 did not follow the emperor's will and abolish her position as queen, but only ranked her as the second empress together with himself.

Moreover, he wanted to kill both mother and son.

Therefore, he took another approach and intended to kill with a borrowed knife, hoping to take the opportunity to instigate him to rebel.

No, we must not let Concubine Wu succeed.

This was the only thought in Queen Zhou's mind.

Thinking of this, her face turned blue and white, and she stared blankly at the window in front of her. After a slight hesitation, she stood up, took a deep breath, walked quickly to the door of the palace, and slowly pushed open the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

And she said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, do you think that I didn't serve you well enough yesterday? Why did you only summon my sister to sleep with you? I am your Majesty's person now, and the prince is also your prince. Your Majesty should not be partial to me!"

Originally, Zhang Yun逸 was worried about acting too hastily because Queen Zhou had been restrained last night.

So, he only wanted to hook Concubine Wu, but he didn't expect that not only would he hook up Empress Zhou as well, but unlike last night, this time she not only did not swallow her anger, but was quite proactive.

As Zhang Yunyi examined Empress Zhou, who was dressed in black and whose figure was clearly visible, he thought to himself, could it be that the pigs were robbing...

No... Is it possible that the catfish effect has occurred, where you panic when you see me, and I am busy when I see you?

Although Concubine Wu's plain white clothes were in keeping with local customs, Queen Zhou's black clothes evoked his long-buried memories.

He is not a child, why should he answer any multiple-choice questions?
Naturally, we have to do it with both hands, and both hands must be strong.

Therefore, without disguising the smile on his face, he hooked his finger at Queen Zhou and said, "Your Majesty called me last night, and I am still not satisfied!"

As he spoke, he smacked his lips and said, "Your Majesty, you have come at the right time. I was still struggling over which of the two Majesties is better. It's just right that you two are here together so that I can compare them carefully!"
