Upon hearing Feng Yu Heng's words, Zhang Yuan happily went to pass on the message. Emperor Tianwu also smiled until his eyes turned into crescents, as he repeatedly said to himself, this daughter-in-law is good, this daughter-in-law is really good!
Not long later, the Empress brought a group of imperial concubines to the inner hall of Heavenly Fate. From far away, imperial concubine Hua, who loved to act spoiled and cry, could be heard screaming: "Those bastards from Qian Zhou, this One will definitely skin them alive!" She then quickly rushed forward. Arriving at Emperor Tianwu's side, she kneeled: "Your Majesty, are you alright? This concubine was truly worried to death. "
The Empress helplessly had her palace maid go forward and help imperial concubine Hua up. She then said: "His Majesty was already given a fright. With you screaming and screaming, be careful not to scare his Majesty further." She then turned to ask Feng Yu Heng: "How exactly is his Majesty?"
Feng Yu Heng saluted to everyone before replying to the Empress: "The matter of Qian Zhou attacking the palace came suddenly. Father Emperor was originally immersed in the joy of receiving the steel blade. From joy to shock, it only took an instant for him to feel a bit unwell. This illness … is quite troublesome. "
Hearing her say this, the Empress also began to worry and quickly went forward to investigate. But Tianwu just closed his eyes and ignored everyone. All of the imperial concubines came forward to speak, but there was not a single response.
Imperial concubine Hua wiped away her tears and began to cry. Even the other imperial concubines began to cry, causing the inner hall to descend into chaos.
Feng Yu Heng's gaze, however, turned toward imperial concubine Gu Xian. She then very naturally looked away. Back then, she had worked with the eldest prince, Xuan Tian Qi, and she had truly caused trouble for old third. Now that Third Brother had been beaten to such a state, his faction was crumbling and dispersing at an extremely fast speed. The soldiers in Gan Zhou were unable to provide for their rations, and Xuan Tianming had already sent people to disturb the morale of the soldiers. Now, they had all scattered and were no longer as grand as they had been in the beginning.
Everything was proceeding according to her plan. Feng Yu Heng thought that the bargaining chip that she had agreed to give to the eldest prince was about to be fulfilled.
While the imperial concubines were surrounding the Emperor and Zhang Yuan with questions, Feng Yu Heng quietly walked to Imperial Concubine Gu Xian's side and whispered: "Heng Heng has left the capital for several months. Is niangniang's body well? How is Big Brother? "
Imperial concubine Gu Xian's brow twitched. Feng Yu Heng being able to take the initiative to speak with her meant that this girl was not deliberately avoiding things. Hearing her take the initiative to mention Xuan Tian Qi, imperial concubine Gu Xian felt even more satisfied. Thus, he nodded and said, "It's all good. A few days ago, when Qi 'er came to visit this consort, he mentioned that he missed his Ninth Brother very much. He was thinking that when you all came back, we should have a good gathering. "
"Their brotherhood is deep, so it's natural for them to get together." Feng Yu Heng calmly said: "Before leaving the capital, big brother told me to bring back some mountain fruits. They are still in the imperial carriage outside the palace. When the matters in the palace have been taken care of, I will personally deliver them to big brother."
Imperial concubine Gu Xian nodded, as a rare smile appeared on her face.
She waited a little longer and saw that most of the imperial concubines had gone forward to speak. Only then did she clear her throat and say: "The summer is hot and humid. Would niangniang please wait in the side hall. The patient needs to be ventilated. It truly is unsuitable to be surrounded by so many people."
The Empress heard this and also said: "That's right, if we stay here and cause a ruckus, His Majesty will not be able to rest. As this One sees it, how about this. We will not be able to help much here. How about my younger sisters come with this One to Bao De Hall to pray for His Majesty's blessings. Is that alright? "
The imperial concubines did not want to leave at all. They did not have many chances to see His Majesty. They had finally been summoned to take care of His Majesty. If they went to pray now, it would be too much of a loss.
But the Empress had spoken, so they could not disobey. Not to mention, Imperial concubine Gu Xian also added: "Thinking of His Majesty in your heart is truly thinking of His Majesty. Don't stay here and pretend to be worried, disturbing His Majesty's rest."
Feng Yu Heng gave an apologetic smile to the imperial concubines before saying to the Empress: "Niangniang, don't worry. Heng Zheng will do her best to treat His Majesty."
The Empress looked at her and nodded on the surface, but her heart was filled with emotion. The old Emperor had pulled in another powerful accomplice! Their ten thousand year escort group had come to Heavenly Hall in such a grandiose manner. Thinking about it, the effect should have been achieved. By now, the news should have spread through the entire inner palace. The people that should have heard it would have heard it. But it was unknown if they were paying attention or if they were playing dumb.
She took one last look at Emperor Tianwu before standing up and leading the way out of the back hall. The imperial concubines behind her saw that the Empress had left and they could not stay any longer. They could only follow.
Feng Yu Heng and Zhang Yuan sent them out for a while before coming back. Zhang Yuan sent out the palace servant that had been called in to pretend. Only then did he stand next to Tianwu. He touched his arm and said in a small voice: "They've all left."
Tianwu did not speak.
Zhang Yuan twisted his lips, "When nucai had people pass on the message to the various courtyards in the inner palace, nucai had them shout it out loud. I also sent people to pass on the message. Everything that should be done has been done."
Tianwu still did not speak.
Zhang Yuan looked at Feng Yu Heng and felt a bit awkward. Feng Yu Heng smiled and shrugged, "It's fine. Continue."
Zhang Yuan continued: "Get up and sit for a while. If it really comes, you have to pretend. It'll be very uncomfortable. Quickly get up, quickly get up. "
He used a bit more strength to pull Tianwu, but the other was still lying on the bed without moving. Zhang Yuan froze and his heart jumped. He turned his head to look at Feng Yu Heng. Seeing that she had no reaction, he gathered his courage and reached out to check Tianwu's breathing.
There was a breath!
He did not understand. Why wasn't he waking up? Thinking about it again, he simply pinched Tianwu's philtrum and finally woke him up with a cry.
Tianwu was angry — "What are you doing?"
Zhang Yuan was scared by him and jumped far away. Looking at Tianwu's angry face, he was also stunned — "Nucai saw that Emperor wouldn't wake up no matter how much I called and was scared, so … …"
"Didn't you say that zhen was unconscious? Why would I wake up? "He still had reason.
Zhang Yuan said helplessly: "That was for outsiders to see. Right now, there are only the three of us in the back hall. Emperor, don't pretend."
"Is this called pretending? Zhen was practicing. Xiao Yuan, tell me, zhen's pretending just now … … no, zhen's performance just now, did it look like it? Was it able to hide it from that woman? "
Zhang Yuan nodded, "Yes, it was too similar. If this nucai still couldn't wake you up, I would have to ask the county princess to make a move."
Tianwu waved his hand at Feng Yu Heng: "Yatou, come, come, come. You also come over and try. See if you can see any flaws."
Feng Yu Heng honestly said: "Fuhuang, if Eunuch Zhang really asked erxi to make a move, erxi wouldn't have just screamed. I would have directly used needles … …"
Black lines appeared on Tianwu's forehead, "Enough, enough, one is more boring than the other." As he said this, he looked out the window, "Is it already dark?"
Zhang Yuan told him: "It's already dark."
Tianwu was a little unable to sit still, "How about you go over there to welcome her. It's dark. Don't let her fall."
Zhang Yuan helplessly looked at Tianwu. After organizing his thoughts for a long time, he finally said: "Your Majesty, it's not that this servant is discouraging you, but you are thinking too much. Who knows if Consort Yun will come or not. Also, even if she did come, there would be palace servants carrying a sedan. She won't fall. "
Tianwu glared: "If you were talking about something else, it would be fine if she didn't come, but We were attacked by an assassin! How could she possibly not come? "
Zhang Yuan also began to argue with him, "Then in the past, you have acted in quite a few assassins! When did she come? "
"That's different. This time, it was someone from Qian Zhou who tried to assassinate me. Also, it's true. It's impossible for her to not take it to heart."
Zhang Yuan did not continue to advise him. He knew that it was pointless. This old emperor's heart was completely focused on the one in Winter Moon Palace; however, that person's personality was truly not worthy of praise. He simply moved over to Feng Yu Heng's side and quietly said: "Either way, there's nothing to do. County princess, how about the two of us make a bet?"
Tianwu suddenly threw a pillow at him: "Damn thing! You actually dare to bet on Us! "
Zhang Yuan was not afraid of him in the slightest, as he picked up the pillow and said: "This servant will bet ten taels of silver that Consort Yun will not come."
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: "Then this county princess will bet 100 taels of gold that imperial concubine mother will come."
"What?" The emperor and eunuch both spoke up in unison. Both of them revealed looks of disbelief. Zhang Yuan advised her: "County princess, it's been so many years, yet Consort Yun has never seen your Majesty. Are you pitying this servant for being poor and deliberately giving this servant gold?"
Emperor Tianwu poked him: "Don't waste your breath!" He then said to Feng Yu Heng: "Heng Heng, be good. Tell me, why are you so confident that your imperial concubine mother will come?"
Feng Yu Heng pondered a little then said: "Daughter-in-law actually … really just wanted to give eunuch Zhang some pocket money."
"Forget it!" Tianwu did not believe her at all, "Just based on how greedy you two are, how could We not know? In the past, old ninth's situation was not as serious. Now that he has been swindled by you, his eyes go red whenever he sees gold. Giving little Yuan 100 taels of gold is unreliable. Unreliable. "
Feng Yu Heng thought to herself that Emperor Tianwu still had not lost his mind to love. He was still able to understand the basics, thus she told him the truth: "In truth, it is as father Emperor said. The assassination attempt in Qian Zhou did indeed happen, and it happened suddenly. It caused quite a bit of a stir in Heavenly Hall. Although imperial concubine mother has been avoiding you over the years, a day as husband and wife means a hundred days of grace. At a time like this, imperial concubine mother definitely would not be able to sit still in Winter Moon Palace. "
Tianwu analyzed it and felt that what Feng Yu Heng had said was very reasonable, thus he quickly waved to Zhang Yuan: "Quickly, help Us change into a set of clothes that look better. Pian Pian likes the color white. Go bring Us a set of white robes! "
Zhang Yuan was on the verge of crying, "You were already unconscious. If you wore white, what would that look like? No good, no good. As this servant sees it, this is the best. "
"Hah, no good! Pian Pian likes cleanliness. We have been wearing this for an entire day. It smells like sweat. Quickly help Us change. "
Zhang Yuan was truly unable to argue with him. He could only find a new set of clothes to change into. Emperor Tianwu put on the new clothes while saying: "Heng Heng, if your imperial concubine mother really does come out this time, We will definitely reward you greatly!"
Feng Yu Heng had a bitter expression, "Daughter-in-law was just giving father Emperor a bit of confidence. I did not do much in the way of actual contributions! Father Emperor must not push this matter onto daughter-in-law. "
"Huh?" Tianwu was puzzled, "Receiving a reward is a good thing. Why are you still hiding? Help Us … "
"I did not help at all!" Feng Yu Heng told him seriously: "Daughter-in-law really did not do anything."
Once these words came out of her mouth, a voice came from the corridor that led from the front hall to the back hall. To the Emperor, this voice was like the sound of nature: "I just knew that an old thing like you would not die so easily! Hmph, liar! Sly! "
At this moment, Emperor Tianwu, who had been caught red-handed in his lie, was filled with ten thousand curses in his heart. Thousands of words converged into a single sentence: "Fuck!"
