At this moment, Emperor Tianwu wanted to slap himself twice. He was pretending, but he was pretending for the Queen and her gang? The person he really wanted to hide was exposed by him so carelessly. What should he do?
Seeing him in a daze, and the Concubine Yun and her entourage who had already walked outside the door but did not come in, Zhang Yuan also became anxious, and quickly poked Tianwu, reminding him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yun might be going back, hurry up and chase her!"
Tianwu finally reacted, and immediately ran out, shouting as he walked: "Pianpian! Wait a moment, listen to my explanation!"
Unfortunately, when leaving the hall, all I could see was a piece of Concubine Yun's clothes going away.
Tianwu gritted his teeth, not caring about his appearance or the fact that he had just claimed to be unconscious, and started to chase after him.
Concubine Yun sat on a soft chair carried by four people. The people carrying the chair were masters of light skills and floated towards Yuehan Palace in a few steps without touching the ground.
Tianwu was also a tough guy who had been to the battlefield when he was young, and his kung fu was amazing, but how could a man who fought hard on the battlefield be as good as a martial arts master with light kung fu? He thought he was running very fast, but he was still gradually left behind by the soft chair in front of him.
Tianwu did not give up and chased forward with all his heart, and behind him, Zhang Yuan was also panting and following far away. Feng Yuheng stayed in Qiankun Hall and did not follow him out. She had helped as much as she could, and the next step was up to Tianwu's own luck. As she walked towards the front hall to find Xuan Tianming, she thought to herself, I hope Concubine Yun will not blame her for helping Emperor Tianwu!
It took Tianwu two incense sticks of time to chase from Qiankun Hall to Yuehan Palace. Seeing Yun Fei's soft chair carried into the gate of Yuehan Palace, he gritted his teeth, exerted force on his feet, and rushed straight to the gate that was about to close.
However, it is still a step behind.
The door closed, pinching his sleeve, and Tianwu was awkwardly locked outside the door. He couldn't go in or leave.
He tried to pull his sleeve, but it didn't come out. Tianwu was happy: "Pianpian, if you miss me, just tell me. It's not good to keep pulling my sleeve like this. I'm already old, and people will laugh at me."
There was no movement inside.
Tianwu was not discouraged and continued, "Pianpian, I know you have me in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't have come to Qiankun Palace. I lied to you, but it was also to see you! It was a white lie, with good intentions."
There was still no movement inside.
Tianwu was sweating a little. "What? Pianpian, can you open the door and let's go inside and talk? I am the king of a country after all. It's not appropriate for me to just stand at the door like this."
Yuehan Palace was completely silent. The only sound that could be heard was the rustling of leaves in the summer breeze. There was no other sound at all.
At this time, Zhang Yuan also caught up with him panting. Seeing Tianwu's miserable appearance, he felt a little unfair, so he shouted towards the palace gate: "Empress Yun, the emperor was indeed frightened today, but you just got better. He has come to the palace gate, you should at least invite him in to have some tea! Empress! Did you hear me?"
Tianwu heard that Zhang Yuan's shouting was not a response and was full of resentment, so he quickly pulled him aside and shouted, "What are you shouting for?"
Zhang Yuan said angrily, "This is too bullying." As he spoke, he helped Tianwu pull his sleeves, but the door of Yuehan Palace was closed too tightly and he couldn't pull it out.
Tianwu scolded him: "It's none of your business? I am happy to be bullied, so what?"
Zhang Yuan said: "I am afraid that you will suffer a loss!"
Tianwu rolled his eyes and consoled himself by saying, "Just eat. I've gotten used to it after so many years. By the way—" He looked back and asked Zhang Yuan, "Where's Ah Heng? Didn't he come with us?"
Zhang Yuan said, "Your Majesty! The county lady has to call you father on one side, and on the other side she has to call Concubine Yun mother on the other side. I helped you just now, but you messed up the performance yourself. If she does it again now, how will she explain to Concubine Yun in the future?"
Tianwu thought about it and it made sense, but he couldn't accept the fact that he had messed up the play. He sighed helplessly and said to himself, "Is there really no way to remedy this?"
Zhang Yuan stamped his feet and said, "Your Majesty, it's too late to make amends now. Otherwise, you should be tough for once, and I will protect you and rush in through this gate! It's just the Moon Cold Palace, not a dragon pool or a tiger cave. It's been a stalemate for more than ten years, why can't we get in?"
Tianwu was so angry that his nose was crooked. Why didn't his eunuch use his brain? If he wanted to break in, he would have done it more than ten years ago. Why did he have to wait until today?
Before she could yell at Zhang Yuan, she heard footsteps coming from all directions, as if a large number of people were running. Soon, she saw teams of imperial guards moving around, looking a bit chaotic.
Tianwu wiped his sweat and asked Zhang Yuan: "What's going on? Could it be a coup in the palace?"
Zhang Yuan was helpless, "Your Majesty, can you think of something better?"
So Tianwu changed his words: "Is there someone trying to seize the throne?"
Is there any difference?
Zhang Yuan walked a few steps up the path, called a guard over, and asked, "What happened?"
The imperial guard saw Tianwu's sleeves tucked into the palace gate at a glance, and the corners of his mouth twitched for a while before he could answer: "Your Majesty, Princess Rujia, who was originally recuperating in the palace, is missing. The Ninth Prince has ordered a palace-wide search for her."
"What?" Tianwu was angry. "Fuck you, Qian Zhou is really courting death! Both men and women are courting death together. We have to teach them a lesson!" He ordered the soldiers, "Search quickly. Search thoroughly for me. Even if you dig three feet deep, you must find the person."
The soldier answered fearlessly, "Yes!" and then ran away in a hurry.
Tianwu was getting a little anxious, and he didn't even enter Yuehan Palace. He called out to Zhang Yuan, "Quick! Borrow a knife from someone and cut the cuff. Let's go back quickly."
Zhang Yuan said, "Are you going to sever your ties with me? Isn't that unlucky?"
"So what do you say we should do?"
"How about... you take off your outer garment!" Zhang Yuan gave him a suggestion, "Just leave it as a reminder for Concubine Yun. It's better than cutting it off."
Tianwu thought about it and realized that this was the case, so he turned around and took off his coat.
"Let's go, let's go back to Qiankun Hall!" The emperor took the initiative to pull his eunuch and was about to go back, but after just two steps, he felt something was wrong. He looked down again, eh? Only the white cotton undergarment was left? How ugly was that? "What? Let's go this way." He pulled Zhang Yuan to the side, and the two of them walked along the path.
As he sneaked towards the Qiankun Palace, Zhang Yuan thought to himself, how come this is like being a thief? Who would have thought that just as he finished thinking this, he heard a loud shout from the side - "Who is it? Come out!"
Zhang Yuan thought, it's over! This is really embarrassing.
Immediately afterwards, several long spears were thrust into the flowers. Zhang Yuan was so frightened that he shouted, "How dare you!"
The royal guards were originally looking for Ru Jia. When they found this place, they discovered that there seemed to be unusual movements among the flowers on both sides of the path. When they thrust their spears forward, they heard the voice of a eunuch.
Then, they splendidly saw Zhang Yuan, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Tianwu, standing up from the flowers with a head full of leaves and petals. Behind him, another man wearing only a white cotton undershirt also stood up.
The imperial guards were a little confused. It was dark at night, and Tianwu was hiding behind Zhang Yuan, so no one could tell who he was. One of the imperial guards asked Zhang Yuan, "Why are you hiding here instead of serving the emperor?" He looked back and felt something was wrong. This was the harem. How could a man be in the harem? Could he be a eunuch? Why was the eunuch dressed like that? Countless questions popped up in his mind, and the soldier asked again in confusion, "Who is the eunuch behind the eunuch?"
"Bullshit!" Tianwu was furious when he heard that he was also regarded as a eunuch. He walked forward with a curse and was about to kick the imperial guard.
The imperial guard instinctively dodged backwards, and at the same time, the spear in his hand was about to thrust forward. Tianwu was so angry that he pulled the spear into his arms with one hand, and with a strong force, he knocked the imperial guard sideways.
The soldiers finally realized that this was not a eunuch, but the emperor! So they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. Then they heard the soldier who called Tianwu the eunuch say, "I didn't know it was the emperor. Please spare my life!"
Tianwu has always attached great importance to face, otherwise he would not have been able to hide in the bushes. Unexpectedly, he ended up making things worse and was caught as a thief. At this moment, he was almost heartbroken.
Tianwu felt that this was too embarrassing, so he simply pulled Zhang Yuan in front of him and blocked him again.
Zhang Yuan was too embarrassed, but as a close eunuch of Tianwu, he had to be at the forefront at this time. So he straightened his back and said loudly to the imperial guards in front of him: "The emperor learned that Princess Qianzhou had escaped and was going to capture her personally. Don't make a fuss. Disperse, all of you!"
The imperial guards were complaining in their hearts, who are they trying to fool? Are they wearing underwear to arrest people? Are they so addicted?
But this can only be said in the heart, he is the emperor, no matter what he wears or does, it seems so reasonable. So the imperial guards listened to Zhang Yuan's words, and said goodbye to Tianwu, and then dispersed. The two heard that the dispersed imperial guards were shouting loudly with another group of people who were coming this way: "No need to check here! The emperor just came out of Yuehan Palace and hasn't had time to put on his clothes yet, don't go over and make trouble."
Zhang Yuan hugged Tianwu's arm and said, "Your Majesty, calm down! We are all family, don't be impulsive!"
Tianwu was puzzled, "Why should I be so impulsive?"
"They say..."
"They said I just came out of Yuehan Palace and didn't have time to put on clothes. Haha! Very good, this is good! It's not bad to make up a story for me to listen to. Let's go back to Zhaohe Palace."
Zhaohe Hall was the bedroom. When Qian Zhou was in turmoil and the whole palace was searching for the escaped Ru Jia, Emperor Tianwu actually chose to go back to the bedroom to sleep!
Zhang Yuan's eyes were a little wet and his nose was a little sour. He knew that Tianwu was escaping and chose to deceive himself with a lie. He would rather live in this lie than accept the truth.
He looked back at Yuehan Palace and felt that Concubine Yun was too cruel. An emperor could do this for a concubine, so what else did she want? She was really... willful!
At that time, in Yuehan Palace, on a hot summer night, Concubine Yun sneezed while walking. She stopped and asked the maid next to her, "Tell me, did the old man curse me behind my back?"
