Whether or not Consort Yun would come, Zhang Yuan did not know. Even if he knew in his heart, he did not dare say it out loud. Over the years, Consort Yun had always been an obsession in the Emperor's heart. Although he had taken care of the Emperor from a young age, and the Emperor had been more lenient with him, Zhang Yuan still knew that there were some things that could be said, and there were some things that could not be said. Especially when it came to Consort Yun, it would be best if he did not say it.
Seeing that Zhang Yuan did not speak, Tianwu snorted and did not say anything else. Turning back to look at the memorials, he muttered: "Then just let her kneel! What if she comes. "
Thus, Feng Yu Heng and Feng Jin Yuan, father and daughter, remained kneeling in the square of Heavenly Hall. Zhang Yuan accompanied Emperor Tianwu in the hall to look at the memorials.
Emperor Tianwu was completely focused on Consort Yun, and he did not turn a single page of the memorial in his hand for a long time. Zhang Yuan could not be bothered to expose him.
However, Tianwu was getting on in years. Although he was completely focused on Consort Yun, in the end, he could not stand against the starry night sky and the sun and moon alternating. Zhang Yuan watched his eyelids gradually droop, and the memorial in his hand was removed. His elbow could no longer support his body's weight. In the end, he simply lay down on the table and fell asleep.
He helplessly shook his head and pulled out a cloak to cover Tianwu. He did not dare wake him up, fearing that he would not be able to react immediately if there was any movement from Winter Moon Palace. If Tianwu was allowed to miss another meeting with Consort Yun, Zhang Yuan thought that his master might not be able to endure this crisis.
Who could do anything about it. The night was silent. Not to mention Winter Moon Palace, even the other palaces did not move. The Empress did not even come over.
Heavenly Hall was very quiet, and the charcoal was warm. It was very suitable for sleeping. Tianwu slept all the way until dawn the next day. While he was in a daze, he felt someone shaking him hard. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Zhang Yuan.
"What are you doing?" She was rather grumpy and impatient after waking up.
Zhang Yuan anxiously said: "Your Majesty, wake up, you can't sleep anymore."
Tianwu's eyes lit up and he immediately sat up. He grabbed Zhang Yuan tightly with both hands and asked anxiously, "Is she here? I knew it! She treats that girl very well, so she definitely can't bear to see her continue kneeling like this. "
Zhang Yuan's face fell. "Your Majesty! It's not Consort Yun, Her Highness didn't come. "
"Didn't come?" Tianwu was stunned, and then a look of obvious disappointment appeared on his face. "Then why did you wake us up?" As he spoke, he was about to lie down on the table again.
Zhang Yuan held him up. "Your Majesty! Consort Yun didn't come, but … His Ninth Highness came back! "
"Who?"
"His Ninth Highness!"
The Emperor raised his hand and slapped his forehead, "It's over. This time, we've gone too far! How did that brat come back so quickly? "After saying this, he raised his foot and kicked Zhang Yuan." Why didn't you wake us up earlier? "
Zhang Yuan was about to cry. "I woke you up a long time ago, but you didn't wake up!"
As they spoke, there was a sound coming from outside the hall. The two of them looked over and saw that Feng Yu Heng, who was originally kneeling outside, had already stood up and was pushing Xuan Tianming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, inside. Step by step, Tianwu's heart trembled as he watched.
"It's over," Tianwu whispered, "Say, do you think Ming will fall out with us?"
Zhang Yuan also whispered, "Most likely … he will."
"Then what should we do?"
"Give him some compensation."
Tianwu felt a headache coming on. Give him "some" compensation? "Which of the things that the couple has done can even come close to the quantifier 'a little'?"
He looked bitterly at Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng, who were already standing in the middle of the hall. That lass had knelt for an entire night, but her mental state was still quite good, and she didn't look tired at all.
However, Xuan Tianming was much worse than her. He had rushed back from the barracks and directly entered the palace, his body still covered in frost. Of course, compared to the frosty aura, his angry face was even more frightening.
Tianwu awkwardly said, "That … Ming, you're back!"
"Humph!" Xuan Tianming rolled his eyes, "If I didn't come back, would you have dragged my wife out to be beheaded during the day?"
Tianwu repeatedly waved his hands, "That can't be done, that can't be done!"
"Can't be done?" Xuan Tianming became anxious, "I can't even bear to bully this wife, but you made her kneel outside for an entire night? What kind of intentions are you harboring? Ah? What exactly are you thinking? What are you trying to do? "
The series of questions made Tianwu angry, and he shouted, "Impudent! I'm your imperial father, the ruler of a country. Don't tell me I don't have the right to punish someone? Besides, she knows very well what she did! "
Xuan Tianming was about to explode, but Feng Yu Heng's hand on his shoulder exerted some force, temporarily suppressing his anger. She then walked around the wheelchair and came forward, saluting Tianwu: "Daughter-in-law is guilty! His Highness the third prince is not skilled. Thinking about it carefully, how could this matter be hidden from imperial father's sharp eyes. Imperial father has not mentioned it over the years for the sake of leaving some face for his Highness the third prince. Unfortunately, daughter-in-law is not sensible and actually exposed it. I hope that imperial father will punish me. "
Tianwu rubbed his temples, unable to put his hands down.
Fuck, why was this damn girl's mouth the same as old ninth's? However, this reason was quite good. How about … he just let it go!
"Cough cough!" He cleared his throat and said with a stern expression: "Heng Heng! It's good that you know your crimes. "
Feng Yu Heng raised an eyebrow. Was this smoothing out? She reached into her bosom and pulled out the life and death agreement she had made with Xuan Tian Ye "Imperial father, please take a look. Daughter-in-law does not dare hide anything."
Zhang Yuan quickly went forward and received the paper, bringing it to Tianwu. Tianwu looked at it and became angry once more: "You really do not know the immensity of heaven and earth! Do you not know that you're in the same boat? You even made a life and death agreement. Xuan Tian Ye is just courting death! If he dies, he deserves it! "As he spoke, he became more spirited, asking Feng Yu Heng:" I heard that you left him with a single breath? Hah, you too, you might as well have just whipped him to death. What's the point of leaving him with a single breath? What's the point of keeping someone who overestimates himself alive? "
Feng Yu Heng thought to herself, if I really whipped him to death, you would not say this. But while she thought this, she did not dare say it out loud, quickly saying: "His Highness the third prince is a prince. Daughter-in-law does not dare."
Xuan Tianming was finally unable to hold back and spoke up; however, he said to Tianwu: "Don't keep urging my wife to kill someone. If you have the ability, go and kill him yourself."
Tianwu glared: "If I could kill him, would I still need her?"
Feng Yu Heng frowned. What sort of situation was this?
But the two did not continue speaking, as they heard Xuan Tianming say: "Old third does not have any ability. The life and death agreement was already made, so he deserved to be beaten. My wife was not in the wrong in this matter. She kneeled for nothing. You need to take responsibility. "
Tianwu thought to himself, it's come. He just wanted to get Consort Yun to come out. As a result, he did not manage to get his wife to come out. Instead, he ended up provoking this god of plague. Retribution had come so quickly!
"She's your own wife. What responsibility do you want me to take?" He was angry and did not care about whether or not he was referring to himself as' I '.
Xuan Tianming nodded, "Right, there's no need to take responsibility. I didn't use the right words. It should be compensation."
Zhang Yuan and Tianwu looked at each other. The message in their eyes was: See, what did I say?
There was nothing that Tianwu could do, so he simply spread his hands: "What kind of compensation do you two want?"
Feng Yu Heng did not know what Xuan Tianming was thinking, and it was not good for her to ask the emperor for compensation. Thus she did not say anything. She just looked at Xuan Tianming.
She heard Xuan Tianming say: "Of the four countries bordering Dashun, which one does father Emperor find most displeasing?"
Huh? Tianwu was stunned. How did it end up like this? Thinking a little more, he decided to speak the truth: "Qian Zhou is the most annoying."
Xuan Tianming snorted coldly, "I don't know who it is, but as soon as they see the eldest princess, their hearts soften. I still haven't told imperial concubine mother about this. When I have some free time, I will bring it up with her. "
"Wait, wait, wait! What do you mean you'll bring it up with imperial concubine mother? What nonsense are you bringing it up for? " Tianwu was a person. In this life, he only had Consort Yun in his heart. As for these sons, he also unconditionally doted on Xuan Tianming. If it was said that his rationality was halved when he met Xuan Tianming, then when it came to Consort Yun, his rationality was reduced to zero. Aside from rationality, there was also IQ. His IQ was also zero. At this moment, hearing that Xuan Tianming was going to talk about Consort Yun, he immediately lost it, "It's true that my heart softened when I saw the eldest princess of Qian Zhou, but it was not because of her. It was because I thought of your imperial aunt."
"Tsk." Xuan Tianming snorted coldly, "It's just a one-sided story."
"No!" Tianwu became furious and pulled Zhang Yuan over, "Speak!"
Zhang Yuan had a bitter expression on his face as he thought to himself, Your Majesty, how can my words count! But he still gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, his Majesty really is only giving that person from Qian Zhou some face because of the already deceased eldest princess."
Tianwu continued: "That's right. Later on, your wife whipped that person's daughter until she was like that. Didn't I not say anything? You two worked together to swindle her out of ten million taels of gold. Didn't I act as if I did not know? It's clear that I did not care about her at all! Ming, be good. Don't speak nonsense to your imperial concubine mother. "By the end, he was practically begging.
Feng Yu Heng was becoming more and more curious about what exactly had happened between Consort Yun and Emperor Tianwu. Emperor Tianwu actually doted on her to such an extent that he did not hesitate to put aside his dignity as an emperor to speak to Xuan Tianming. She was truly curious. Too curious!
Xuan Tianming also nodded and did not trouble him any further.
Tianwu saw him nod, and his mood improved. He quickly said: "Heng Heng, push him forward. That's right, you two come closer to speak with me. Don't stand so far away."
Feng Yu Heng did as she was told, and Xuan Tianming spat out: "Don't you need to maintain the etiquette between a ruler and a minister!"
Tianwu thought to himself, do you still have any etiquette between a ruler and a minister? "Don't pull that egg. Quickly scram over here for this great one!"
Thus Feng Yu Heng obediently pushed him over. Upon arriving, it was Xuan Tianming who spoke first, saying: "Since you don't have any interest in the eldest princess, let's take over Qian Zhou!"
Tianwu just happened to be sipping some tea. Xuan Tianming's words caused him to spit out the tea.
"What is that? Take over? "Tianwu slapped his forehead," Ming! Do you think Qian Zhou is a teacup? You think you can take it just like that? "
Feng Yu Heng blinked, "Father Emperor, although it's not to the extent of taking it just like that, it's not as difficult as you think."
Tianwu asked Feng Yu Heng: "I know that you are annoyed with the new head wife of the Feng family. If you are truly annoyed, just whip her a few more times. But it would be best not to start fighting. "
Xuan Tianming's eyes became fierce: "Then how will we discuss our compensation?"
Tianwu was puzzled, "What does our compensation have to do with Qian Zhou?"
