White Hedge Dream

Chapter 128 Pointing

"My pregnancy didn't happen instantly."

Bai Ying looked at the daffodils, stroking her chin with her hand, as if she was talking to Zhang Ze, and seemed to be talking to herself.

"Why didn't it activate at other times, but why did it activate on that day?"

Since returning from the palace, what happened that night at the palace has been forgotten by everyone.

In other words, it is not surprising to think that it is Chiang Kai-shek's party tactics.

But she didn't forget it, and she didn't believe it was Chiang Kai-shek's party.

The more I thought about it, the more convinced I became that it was Bai Li's method.

Those questions, especially what she wrote in her second letter, would not be asked by Empress Chiang Kai-shek's ghost, because Empress Chiang Kai-shek knew it herself.

Bai Ying clenched her hands in front of her.

From the beginning, it was either against the emperor or against her. Her sister really came to find him.

How was the night before the nightmare different from other times?

Ever since she attracted the emperor to meet her in the cold palace, and the emperor indeed took pity on her and paid her a visit in private, her daily life has not changed much.

In addition to better food and better accommodation, there is also an extra guard.

His Majesty did not come again. He had to take care of the queen and the courtiers. She was just a beautiful concubine with an embarrassing status.

Beauty is not a rarity in the harem.

However, she knew the emperor well and knew that he was cowardly and suspicious. Such a person would miss his old relationship extremely, so she waited for the next opportunity.

She eats, sits, picks flowers, and makes silk flowers every day...

silk flower.

The queen took her out of the cold palace.

Bai Ying sat up straight suddenly.

"Queen," she said.

Zhang Ze's eyes narrowed: "You mean, Empress Chiang's troubles are related to the Queen?" Without waiting for Bai Ying to speak again, he gently shook his head again, with a somewhat meaningful look on his face, "Your Majesty, it's a bit inappropriate to touch the Queen now, please wait. wait."

Bai Ying glared at him: "I didn't mean that." She stood up and approached Zhang Ze, "I meant that before Empress Chiang caused trouble, something different from ordinary things happened. It was the empress who took me out. "Leng Gong."

Zhang Ze said, "That's the thing."

Indeed, I originally thought that it would take some time before I could find another opportunity for the emperor to see Bai Ying, but I didn't expect that the queen presented the opportunity to her.

The emperor had just visited Concubine Bai, but he was nostalgic and hesitant. The queen's behavior was undoubtedly a challenge to the emperor's authority, and the emperor immediately came to defend her.

But what does this have to do with Empress Chiang’s mischief?

Even if the empress was mad, she would not get involved with Chiang Kai-shek. The empress was a stupid woman who only wanted to be husband and wife with the emperor.

"Didn't those warlocks say that they can perform spells if they are not around, but they must borrow something?" Bai Ying said.

Zhang Ze came back to his senses: "What do you mean..."

"I have been in the cold palace and have never been exposed to foreign objects." Bai Ying looked at Zhang Ze, "Only that time, in the Queen's Palace, allowed me to identify the palace flowers."

Zhang Ze didn't pay much attention to this little thing at the time, but he still remembered it instantly, understood what Bai Ying was referring to, and said, "That fake palace flower."

That's right, it must be the fake palace flower, a borrowed object cast by Chiang Kai-shek's party!

"Actually, I had nightmares after I came into contact with the fake palace flower." Bai Ying said, clenching her hands, and she still seemed to be frightened when she thought about it.

The first dream was also a nightmare. In the dream, her sister looked at her like that, but because it was short-lived and just looking at her, she woke up quickly and didn't think much about it until the second dream, which was long and terrifying in content. …

Looking back at this moment, Bai Ying's face was still a little pale.

"There must be something wrong with that fake palace flower." She said, "My sister must be here too. These illusions are not the work of Empress Chiang's ghost at all, but her methods."

"You said earlier that your sister was born with an ominous fate..." Zhang Ze hesitated.

"I said before that she can also make people go crazy, make them have nightmares, make people see ghosts, and make a good person suddenly jump into a well and die." Bai Ying interrupted him and said urgently, "She is the broom star. It’s a monster!”

Yes, Bai Ying said this, but because Bai Ying was pregnant with the emperor's heir at that time, and the God's clock moved abnormally, he only thought it was the ghost of Empress Chiang who was causing trouble. Of course, he did not believe in ghosts, and thought it was Empress Chiang's party.

Regarding Bai Ying's description of his sister, he just regarded it as a person with bad luck and didn't take it seriously.

The arrest documents have been issued for a long time, and no one has come to report the news.

If he had really arrived in the capital and still done so many things, it was because he underestimated this young daughter of the Bai family.

The fake palace beauty was a maid from Dongyang Hou Mansion, no, to be precise, she should be a maid from Ding'an Bo Mansion.

Dongyang Hou Shizi, the ex-in-law's family, was unwilling to give up and deliberately framed Zhou Jingyun's new wife.

The female official who brought the maid here was also a distant relative of Mrs. Ding Amber, and she also gave her a lot of money and land deeds.

After the incident, the maidservant was beaten to death by the female official on the spot, and the Ding Anbo family left the capital in a hurry.

To him, this was a trivial matter, and he sold it to Zhou Jingyun as a favor, so he did not continue to pursue it.

Now it seems that this plan is not aimed at Zhou Jingyun's new wife, but to send a curse to the palace.

The maid died swiftly, and Ding Amber's family fled swiftly. It was clear that the plan was accomplished and they escaped.

Zhang Ze bowed and said, "I will go check it out right now."

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

Bai Ying followed behind: "Think carefully, check carefully, and the entire Ding'anbo Mansion will not be spared. Don't let her escape again." He also warned, "Don't alert the snake, so that she doesn't know that we have guessed."

Zhang Ze didn't look back and just waved his hand to indicate that he knew.

Bai Ying stood at the door and watched.

Wang Degui hurriedly supported her: "Mom, don't go out, it's cold outside."

Bai Ying did not go out anymore, watching Zhang Ze walk away, then lowered her head to look at her bulging belly.

She reached out and touched it gently.

Some people are just born with bad luck and shouldn’t live.

Now that she has reached an unprecedented height, no one can ruin her good fortune!

"The princess is here."

Wang Degui said suddenly.

Bai Ying looked up and saw Princess Jinyu walking slowly, followed by the two people as always.

However, unlike before, the attendants behind him were not beautiful young men, but two gray-haired old men.

It's really strange.

Princess Jinyu had a perverse temperament. When the late Emperor was here, she once whipped passers-by in the street because she disliked the ugly passers-by who passed by her.

Of course, some beauties are also beautiful when they are old, but as you get closer, you can see that these two old men were definitely not beauties when they were young, let alone beautiful when they are old. Bai Ying teased in her heart, did Princess Jinyu show this to the emperor on purpose?

Previously, because of the rumors spread by the monks at Lingquan Temple, Princess Jinyu was reprimanded by the emperor and punished to shut up and think about her past mistakes. She was not allowed to go out until the ceremony. Moreover, when they arrived at the palace, Princess Jinyu was not summoned as before.

Therefore, Princess Jinyu does not take beautiful young people with her when she goes out now, but only takes old men with her. This is to show the emperor and not to say that she is promiscuous in the future.

Bai Ying couldn't help but laugh and ridicule in her heart.

This kind of stupid woman is born to be noble. She doesn't have to pay anything to become a noble.

Princess Jinyu slowly approached and saw Bai Ying standing by the door.

This is the Imperial Study Room, the outer hall where the emperor and courtiers discussed state affairs.

Even the queen cannot easily set foot there.

At this moment, Bai Ying is standing here. Although she is not wearing gold or silver or piling up jewelry, every brick in the imperial study room is adding luster to her.

Princess Jinyu sneered in her heart, which meant that the emperor believed that his concubine was a cowardly and pitiful person.

Taking advantage of her pregnancy, this woman would sooner or later seek power and replace the queen.

Colliding with Princess Jinyu's eyes, Bai Ying quickly lowered her head, stroking her belly with one hand, and with Wang Degui's support, she curtsied and saluted: "I've met the princess."

According to the custom of Princess Jinyu, these concubines are ignored and are nothing more than the emperor's playthings.

Even the queen was called by her surname, and she often referred to her as her maid.

Princess Jinyu would not even look at her as a palace concubine from an ordinary background and now a sinful woman.

But just when she lowered her head, the voice of Princess Jinyu came to her ears.

"No need to be polite."

Bai Ying thought she heard wrongly and raised her head in surprise.

Princess Jinyu looked at her from bottom to top. Although her eyes could not hide her superiority, she actually said: "Don't stand at the door in the cold weather."

Bai Ying hurriedly saluted and responded, panicking and timidly: "Princess, please come inside..."

Before she finished speaking, Princess Jinyu had already walked away.

Although most of her panic and timidity was just pretending, Bai Ying was really confused. Princess Jinyu actually greeted her and seemed to care about her and feared that she would be cold...

Is this woman out of her mind?

Or is it because of... my belly?

Bai Ying lowered her head and glanced at her abdomen. Then she saw that Princess Jinyu had entered the imperial study room next to her. She hurriedly turned around and went inside.

Wang Degui hurriedly followed, "My queen, please walk slower."

Bai Ying hissed at him and walked behind the screen. There was a small door leading to the imperial study room. Although it was closed tightly at the moment, the sounds coming from the imperial study room could be heard from the door.

"...I'm busy. Princess, please come back later. If you have anything else, go to the harem and tell the queen."

The emperor's voice was neither salty nor cold, which showed that he had not yet let go of Princess Jinyu, or had made up his mind not to indulge her anymore.

"...Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will introduce you two people, and then I will leave immediately."

Princess Jinyu did not shout angrily and question the relationship between siblings when she heard the emperor's cold words like before, but her voice was calm.

Recommend two people? In the past, Princess Jinyu often recommended those beautiful men who took refuge in her as officials, but they were all minor officials and did not require His Majesty's consent.

At this time, because of these two ugly and old people, they actually want to ask for an official position from the emperor? Bai Ying got closer, and then heard two old voices bowing to His Majesty. The next moment there was the sound of a memorial falling to the ground, accompanied by the emperor's exclamation, "It's Mr. Zhang—"

The other courtiers sitting in the palace also shouted, "It's Duke Zheng—"

The hall instantly became boiling.

"Mr. Zhang, teacher, the students thought they would never see you again."

"And Mr. Zheng, you are still alive. When the Demon Queen sent people to kill you on the road to exile, I ordered you to search for you for many years, but there was no response, so I thought you had been poisoned."

"Your Majesty, I thought I would never see you again—"

….

….

The noise in the imperial study room kept boiling like boiling water, and officials rushed in during this period, bringing a new round of excitement.

Bai Ying no longer listened close to the door and eavesdropped. She sat on the bed, eating soup and listening to Wang Degui's message.

"...Zhongcheng said that Duke Zhang's name was Zhang Qi, and he was born in the Zhang family of Quzhou. His grandfather was good at calligraphy and painting. When he was the late emperor, he invited Duke Zhang to give lectures on calligraphy and painting to the princes. Later, he was expelled by the late emperor because he reprimanded the late emperor for his extravagance, and his whereabouts have never been known since. trace."

"...This Duke Zheng is even more incredible. He was the minister of Zhongshu during the reign of the late emperor. He initially opposed the appointment of Jiang Mian'er as empress. However, he was framed by Jiang Mian'er's party and deposed and exiled. They said he was killed on the way to exile. In fact, he changed his name. The last name was hidden by old friends.”

After hearing what Wang Degui said, Bai Ying nodded: "I understand."

The princess was serving as a good minister for His Majesty. She looked at the next door with a surprised look on her face. Princess Jinyu actually had this idea? !

The next door was very noisy, and you could hear voices intermittently without leaning against the door.

Women's voices are also more prominent among them.

"Since I was born, I have enjoyed the favor of the late emperor, and now I am respected by your majesty, but I have done nothing. As a princess, I only bring shame to the royal family."

Is this what Princess Jinyu said? Go crazy!

More crazy words continued to come.

"I know that Your Majesty, like the late Emperor, has been kind and tolerant to me, but I can no longer act recklessly on the basis of grace. We brothers and sisters have gone through many hardships. Now you only have me by your side, and I only have you. I have dispersed the attendants at home, Change your ways and live up to the name of Princess Zhou, and live up to your majesty’s title of royal sister.”

Accompanying Princess Jinyu's words, the voices of the two veterans were also filled with emotion.

"...I never expected that the princess would stand silently outside my house for three days, in the cold weather."

"...The princess knew that I had adopted many orphans who had been displaced due to the Demon Queen case over the years. In order to save me from worries, she donated to build a charity hall and directly purchased enough rice, grain and cloth for three years of food and clothing."

"...The princess is really different from what I remembered. It can be seen that the demon queen has been eliminated and your majesty is coming to court in a new atmosphere. We have no more doubts and rush to see your majesty."

The emperor laughed.

Bai Ying has been with him for many years, and she can tell that the laughter comes from happiness from the bottom of her heart.

"We have experienced ups and downs, and now we are finally out of the sea of ​​suffering. I have regained virtuous ministers, and I will surely bring peace to the country!"

"Come, prepare a banquet. I and all my ministers will celebrate the prosperous life together."

Congratulations and "Long Live" echoed in the Imperial Study Room.

Bai Ying stirred the sweet soup in her hand and her expression darkened.

Princess Jinyu found her way back and wanted to be a virtuous person. Who taught her?

What do you want?

This is not something to be happy about.

She didn't want to see another powerful woman appear in Dazhou.

Except her.
