Chapter 291: The Wild Goose Leaves Its Voice
Lu Yu finally chose to drink.
It was not because he was greedy for the fragrance of fine wine, but Lu Yu remembered that Zhou Zunian had said that the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was the one who was supported by Concubine Hua. To understand it from another perspective, it was the Seventh Prince's line. Concubine Hua was the one who was in charge of the overall situation. If he rejected Concubine Hua's invitation and went to see the Seventh Prince, it would be a bit like missing the point.
Therefore, Lu Yu wanted to see what Concubine Hua was up to.
Of course, this move also had certain risks. For example, as soon as he entered Shuhua Palace, Concubine Hua turned her face and refused to recognize him, shouting "help me, it's indecent", then he would have no way to defend himself, not only would he no longer be the so-called son-in-law, but he would also be sentenced to death.
But the problem is that he doesn't care about these things at all. Whether it is the temptation of the prince consort or the threat of death penalty, they are not enough to constrain him. If things really develop to the point where they are out of control, he can just escape and leave.
On the contrary, Hua Fei's series of actions fully aroused his curiosity, making him want to find out her details.
So Lu Yu finally chose to go with Hua Fei.
Originally, bringing a strange man back to his bedroom late at night was somewhat unreasonable, but if it was under the guise of checking for Princess Gaoyang and examining her future husband, everything became high-sounding, and even the palace maids and eunuchs around did not dare to gossip about it casually.
Soon, Lu Yu followed Hua Fei to Shuhua Palace.
Hua Fei dismissed the people around her and invited Lu Yu to sit on the stone bench in the small garden, and then she said nothing, her eyes fixed on Lu Yu's face.
The moonlight was like water, and the night was filled with a strange fragrance. Lu Yu couldn't tell whether the fragrance came from the exotic flowers and plants in the garden or from Concubine Hua's body.
"Concubine Hua, where is the aged wine you mentioned?" Lu Yu asked.
Concubine Hua chuckled: "I didn't expect that the young master was still a greedy drinker. He still couldn't forget about the wine. Don't you still look back at this moment? What kind of unfavorable situation have you fallen into?"
"Oh?"
Lu Yu looked at Concubine Hua in surprise, and said blankly: "I don't think this place is a dragon's den or a tiger's lair!"
Concubine Hua chuckled, and then slowly unbuttoned her clothes in front of Lu Yu.
Lu Yu's eyebrows jumped, but he still sat steadily on the stone bench without moving his buttocks.
In a moment, Concubine Hua was lying on the ground with her breasts half exposed.
"Who are you, and what is your purpose in coming to Beijing? If you tell me the truth, I will have delicious food and wine for you... Otherwise, if I call the guards in now, do you think you can leave this palace alive tonight?"
Hua Fei was still smiling, but there was no more tenderness in her smile, but a murderous intent instead.
However, Lu Yu remained calm: "Are you threatening me, Your Majesty?"
Hua Fei smiled and said, "It depends on how you understand it. If you are willing to cooperate honestly and work for me in the future, maybe this will be a reward!"
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows: "Don't you worry that the news here will be leaked? Wang will certainly die, and I am afraid that Your Majesty will also be ruined!"
"Leaked?"
Hua Fei couldn't help but smile.
"Do you mean you want to spread the truth here? But don't forget that you are a notorious devil. If you and I stick to our own opinions, do you think others will believe you or me?"
Lu Yu sighed: "It seems that the queen has me this time!"
Hua Fei couldn't help showing a bit of pride on her face: "Don't forget, this is my territory after all. Whether it is human evidence or material evidence, I can make it 100% favorable to me, so that you can't argue!"
Lu Yu shook his head helplessly: "It's a pity that the queen missed something..."
"Really?" Hua Fei didn't believe it at all, just thought the other party was bluffing, "Then tell me, what did you miss?"
Lu Yu said nothing, stretched out his palm, and pressed it on the stone table next to him.
As he pressed, circles of brilliant colorful light suddenly emerged on the stone table, and the light rippled and instantly filled the entire small garden, making the entire small garden dreamlike and full of unreal feelings.
"This is..."
Hua Fei showed a surprised expression.
Lu Yu took his hand away, and saw a strange rune mark on the stone table, the bytes of which slowly flowed, releasing a mysterious atmosphere.
"This is a talisman, named 'Yanhen Fa', which means 'the goose leaves a sound when it passes, and the people leave a trace when they pass'. It truthfully records what happened in the surrounding scene. Although the validity period is not long, from the time we sat down to this moment, this time is more than enough!"
Lu Yu said, picked up the talisman pressed on the stone table, folded it carefully, and then held it in his hand.
"What Wang said may be hard to believe, but what if it is the live video recorded on this talisman? Do you think these images are enough to ruin your reputation?"
Hua Fei's expression froze on her face.
She had never thought that Lu Yu would have this trick. She had indeed heard of spells that could preserve live images and sounds, but those spells generally required the cooperation of large magic arrays, and the activation process was quite complicated. She had never heard of someone who could successfully perform it with just a talisman without the opponent noticing, like Lu Yu.
But the other party's firm and confident expression, as well as the unpredictable fluctuations of magic power, made her believe it.
Even if she still had doubts in her heart, she didn't dare to gamble.
Because if this was true, she would be completely ruined, and all her years of hard work would go to waste. She couldn't afford such consequences.
So, Hua Fei finally admitted defeat.
She smiled bitterly and shook her head: "As expected of the famous Hateful Blood Demon, your methods are indeed powerful. This time, I really miscalculated."
She put her clothes back on honestly, and a smile appeared on her face again: "I won't tease you anymore. I'll tell you the truth. In fact, it's not my intention to call you here tonight, but because my junior sister wants to see you!"
Lu Yu was stunned.
Junior sister?
Empress Hua actually has a junior sister?
But why does she want to see me? What's the connection?
Hua Fei smiled, without explaining too much, and suddenly raised her voice and shouted crisply: "Junior sister, I can't handle this person, so you should deal with it!"
As soon as the voice fell, a breeze blew by.
A graceful figure came out from the interior of Shuhua Palace. With her appearance, it seemed that the bright moon in the sky became a little dim.
Lu Yu was slightly distracted. He didn't expect that this junior sister of Concubine Hua was also a great beauty, and her appearance was even more outstanding than Concubine Hua's. Her cultivation seemed to be quite good.
The woman came directly to the two of them, looked down at the remaining talisman marks on the stone table, smiled slightly and said: "Senior sister, you have been fooled. This is not a talisman that records images at all. He is just bluffing to deceive you!"
Then, she raised her head again, and a pair of fascinating eyes stayed on Lu Yu's face.
"Nice to meet you, I am Qin Yanzhen, the legendary Princess Gaoyang."
