White Hedge Dream

Chapter 135 Private Meeting

Shangguan Yue didn't know when Mrs. Xue's banquet ended. He and Xue Silang drank one glass at a time and quickly became drunk because of their deep brotherly love.

Xue Silang was carried back to the room by the maids, while Shangguan Yue was carried into the carriage.

"Come on, hurry up, drink like this, don't let Mr. Xue see you and scold me again."

"The old man's temper right now is scary."

"It's better when the eldest lady is in charge."

"You are stupid too. If you have anything to do, just go and tell the eldest lady secretly. The eldest man listens to the eldest lady the most."

With the servants in front of the Xue family chattering about family matters, Shangguan Yue's carriage swayed away.

The carriage drove straight into a house, and through a secret door in the house was Yu Qingtang.

Shopkeeper Cai was already waiting in the yard and helped Shangguan Yue down. He smelled of alcohol and was very worried.

"Why did the young master drink so much?"

Although the young master is running a boat, he seems to be immersed in a pool of wine, but he rarely drinks alcohol.

This is the first time I drank so much.

I really don’t know how worthy this Xue Silang is.

Originally, he was supposed to go to Shangguan's house today, but the young master suddenly ran to Xue's house, saying that Mrs. Xue was considered a relative of the emperor, and he was going to recognize the princess and Xue Silang as well.

Who do you think the Xue family is?

Entering the room, shopkeeper Cai handed over strong tea, and Shangguan Yue drank it all in one gulp.

"I'm fine, not bad." He said, his smile getting wider, "Very good."

It's a great time to come to Xue's house today.

People kept an eye on Dongyang Hou Shizi's movements and learned that he had gone to Xue's house today. During the Chinese New Year, the couple would definitely visit relatives together.

He came immediately.

really.

Bai Li came to see him.

Although I haven't seen his face, I can only see his words.

It can be seen that she has been looking for opportunities to meet him.

Shangguan Yue smiled again and lay down.

Bai Li won't always follow Madam Dongyang Hou, right?

From this point of view, Mrs. Hou Shaofeng of Dongyang does have a special physique.

I'll ask her when we meet tomorrow.

I hope I can say a few more words tomorrow.

Well, you have to think about what you are going to say in advance. She is possessed for a short time, so you don't have to be verbose and delay it.

"Sir, go to Shangguan Mansion tomorrow. The princess will also go. It will be just in time..." Shopkeeper Cai said from the side.

Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Yue waved her hand to interrupt: "I have something to do tomorrow."

What else happened? Shopkeeper Cai was stunned for a moment, but Shangguan Yue stopped talking and covered her head and face with her sleeves as if she was sleepy, so he didn't ask any more questions and left.

After standing outside the door and thinking for a moment, shopkeeper Cai called the guards who followed Shangguan Yue.

"Young Master went to Xue's house today. Did you see...um, who?" he asked in a low voice.

The guard looked at him in confusion: "Who?"

Shopkeeper Cai had no choice but to say, "Mrs. Dongyang Hou."

The guard glared at him: "Why did the young master see other people's wives? The young master just drank with Xue Silang, and none of the ladies of the Xue family were seen."

Shopkeeper Cai signaled the guard to lower his voice: "It's better if you don't see me. It's better if you don't see me."

He was overthinking it.

Besides, if you were really thoughtful, you wouldn't have a private meeting in front of someone's husband.

…

…

In the twilight, Mrs. Dongyang Hou's room was crowded with people. In the first month of the year, it was not as busy as before, and adults and children were free. It was a time for filial piety, so they came early to say hello.

There are also a lot of relatives visiting today, and they all tell stories about their experiences when they come back.

Zhuang Li changed from his usual quietness and talked about what he ate and played at Xue's house, how the maids behaved, what Mrs. Xue and Mr. Xue said, and even Mrs. Xue's face and makeup.

After hearing this, Zhou Jiuniang stared: "Sister-in-law explained it too carefully."

However, Mrs. Dongyang Hou did not dislike Zhuang Li's verbosity. She knew that she wanted to let her know that Mrs. Xue was living a very comfortable life now.

"Just have fun." She said, looking at Zhuang Li, "Your aunt likes you very much."

Zhuang Li stood up, picked up a cup of tea, and walked slowly to Mrs. Dongyang Hou: "My aunt is very good to me, and I should also be good to my aunt." As she spoke, she turned the tea cup in her hand, and the tea rippled gently. The ripples spread out.

The twilight indoors also swayed like water waves.

In the ripples of light, Zhuang Li looked at Mrs. Dongyang Hou.

"So, I want to take better care of my aunt's body..."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou looked at her and nodded slowly.

If someone opens the curtain and comes in at this time, they will see that except Mrs. Dongyang Hou nodding, everyone sitting in the room is nodding, including the maids standing, with smiles on their faces, and all eyes are on Zhuang Li.

"Then please try your best to make some fragrant medicine for your aunt." Mrs. Dongyang Hou said slowly.

Zhuang Li responded: "Last time I made incense sticks at Dr. Zhang's, I also tried to prepare a new prescription. Taking advantage of the leisure time during the New Year, I will make it tomorrow."

She said and smiled.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou also laughed, and everyone in the room laughed.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work."

they said in unison.

But a male voice sounded in the chorus, and his voice was a little slow and slow.

"...I'm going to a banquet tomorrow."

Zhuang Li turned his head, and everyone in the room turned their heads like her and looked at Zhou Jingyun who was sitting on the chair.

Zhou Jingyun was smiling like everyone else, but his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was trying to think about something.

Zhuang Li looked at him and his voice sounded like it was rippling out of tea: "Your Majesty will go to the banquet on your own. Send more people to follow me. This will ensure my safety, right?"

Mrs. Dongyang Hou and others all followed suit and said, "Yes, yes."

Zhou Jingyun's brows widened and he finally nodded: "Yes, yes."

Zhuang Li looked away, smiled, picked up the teacup and handed it to Mrs. Dongyang Hou.

Mrs. Dongyanghou reached out to take it, and as her hands touched each other, Mrs. Dongyanghou let out a light cough. The rippling dusk faded and the tea became clear.

The next moment, "Madam, why are you coughing?" "The past two days have been a grind." Various voices also started talking.

Zhou Jiuniang also climbed onto the bed and stood behind to gently tap Mrs. Hou's back.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou smiled, indicating that she was fine, and looked at Zhuang Li again: "Sit down."

Zhuang Li responded and sat back next to Zhou Jingyun.

Others in the room continued to tell stories about visiting relatives and friends, chatting and laughing, and it was lively.

"Young lady, drink tea." Chunyue whispered from the side and handed her tea.

Zhuang Li took the teacup and looked down at the clear tea.

She used to respect the people in this family, but her arrival brought them the disaster of annihilation.

So she restrained her instincts here, went out as little as possible, and appeared in front of this family as little as possible, so as not to affect them.

She also never explored Zhou Jingyun's dreams. She only used bewitching techniques on Zhou Jingyun to cover up her appearance and when she was very confused.

But now...

Zhuang Li picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

She told Zhou Jingyun at the beginning that Bai Li was not a very good person.

She said half of it and kept half of it.

This is not good. In addition to being an ominous person and bringing bad luck to people, it also means that this person is not a good person.

…

When a dim light came out of the bed tent, Zhuang Li heard Zhou Jingyun turn over behind him and knew that he was awake, or that he could get up after not sleeping much.

The person got up, and there was a sound of footsteps, as if the window was opened and cold wind blew in. The next moment it was closed again, and the footsteps stopped beside the bed.

Zhuang Li turned over and asked in a voice that sounded like he had just woken up: "Is it dawn yet?"

Zhou Jingyun lifted up one side of the tent and said, "Not yet, it's snowing. You can sleep a little longer."

Zhuang Li stood up and said, "Is it snowing?" He smiled again, "I won't sleep anymore. I slept well last night. I'm not sleepy anymore."

As long as you sleep well, she did not move at all last night. Zhou Jingyun did not persuade her anymore, but took a teacup from the side and handed it over.

Zhuang Li reached out to take it and sat on the bed to drink water.

The maid heard the commotion and inquired outside. The door opened, air-conditioning and excitement mixed in the room, and the morning light became brighter.

"Although the snow has stopped, it's getting colder. We need thicker clothes." Chunyue rummaged in the cabinet and called Chunxiang again, "The charcoal fire over there is not good. Bring two more foot stoves. As soon as the young lady sits down I couldn’t move for a long time.”

Chunxiang and Chunhong were both a little puzzled. They didn't follow Mrs. Hou yesterday and didn't know that the young lady was going out. After hearing Chunyue's explanation, they suddenly realized.

"No wonder I saw Mrs. Ma drying the carriage early in the morning."

It turns out that everyone in the family knows that the young lady is going out today.

Zhou Jingyun heard this and hesitated again.

There is this incident in my memory.

Mother asked Zhuang Li to make a fragrant elixir for her aunt.

He agreed at that time.

But I always feel like something is wrong.

He had two banquets to attend today. One was invited by Shangguan and he had to go, and the other was a banquet hosted by two people invited back by Princess Jinyu. He also wanted to see what impact these two people would have on the court.

Zhuang Li went out alone...

Even though we were going to the medical clinic, it was not far away and Dr. Zhang was trustworthy. There were not many customers at the medical clinic during the Chinese New Year.

but…..

Many things that I once thought were within my control now seem not to be so.

"Have the arrangements for the Crown Prince's bodyguard been arranged?" came Zhuang Li's voice.

Well, there are guards, and enough manpower has been arranged. Zhou Jingyun nodded: "It's arranged."

There is a maid outside saluting, "Your Majesty, Feng'er said that the carriage and horse are ready."

This is urging him to leave.

Zhou Jingyun looked at Zhuang Li again.

"Your Majesty, go ahead." Zhuang Li stood up and warned with a smile, "Don't drink too much."

Zhou Jingyun nodded and walked out.

…

…

"Have a great New Year, young lady."

During the Chinese New Year, there were few people asking for medical consultations and taking medicines. Zhang Shilin gave his disciples a holiday while he still guarded the medicine shop.

Zhuang Li asked Chunyue to take down two food boxes from the car.

"This is home-cooked food," she said, and then ordered the guards, "You have a drink with Dr. Zhang."

Zhang Shilin sighed very much. This woman was very considerate to others. She seemed a little aloof when we first met her, but she was actually gentle and kind.

He joked: "Young madam, I'm just borrowing a processing workshop. You don't have to spend so much money. Just let us sell the medicine you make."

Zhuang Li winked at him and said with a bit of mischief: "This is a private reservation, not for sale. Doctor Zhang, you'd better drink a few more glasses of the bar I'll give you."

Zhang Shilin laughed again and did not refuse. Two of the guards came out carrying wine and food and followed Dr. Zhang to the front store. The others stayed behind. The prince had previously told him not to let the young lady leave his sight.

"I'm going to make medicine, so I can't be disturbed." Zhuang Li stood at the door of the processing workshop, looked at the guards, and said with a smile, "Just pretend I'm not here."

The guards looked at her and nodded slowly, saying yes.

…

…

In view of the last experience, Shangguan Yue did not let the guards follow her, lest she have to worry more about controlling the two of them.

He climbed up to the roof of Zhang Family Medical Center alone, wearing a white cloak that almost blended with the snow on the roof.

He saw guards standing outside the door of the processing workshop, and the guards looked a little stunned.

The door of the processing workshop is open. Zhuang Li is sitting inside, looking at the incense burning in front of him, seemingly in a trance. The maid next to him is sitting in front of the dustpan, picking up the medicinal materials one by one, and putting them down one by one. .

Shangguan Yue raised her hand to her mouth and made a bird call.

The woman who was sitting in trance instantly raised her head and looked over, then smiled and waved gently.

Shangguan Yue leapt down from the roof and walked in in front of the guards.

The guards turned a blind eye, and the maid in the room also concentrated on picking up the medicinal materials repeatedly.

Wouldn't it be convenient for those men and women who have private meetings to have such means? Shangguan Yue couldn't help but come up with this idea and burst into laughter.

Zhuang Li smiled when he saw him coming in, a little puzzled.

Of course, you can't tell her this kind of thought. Shangguan Yue looked at the young lady in front of her and asked with some worry: "Is it because you don't have enough magic power this time?"

This time, he didn't see Bai Li's clear face, but the face of Madam Dongyang Hou, and his vision was dim and blurry.

Last time, it was because Shangguan Yue couldn't see her true face outside of the dream, so she deliberately showed her face in order for him to recognize her.

Now that we know each other, there is no need to take any more trouble.

It doesn't matter what Shangguan Yue thinks. She doesn't have time to explain too much.

"Ah, yes." Zhuang Li just nodded and said what he forgot to mention last time. "I can only see Li Yu in your dream when he was four years old, but you won't remember it when you wake up."

Four-year-old...Li Yu, when Shangguan Yue heard this name, she was in a trance, as if he was a stranger, and Zhuang Li's voice continued to be heard in her ears.

"...Your dreams are very special and can help me."

So that's it, does he actually have such a special dream? He didn't even know that Shangguan Yue smiled.

"Is that why I can see you?" He understood something again, looking at the blurry face in front of him, "That's why I can have the opportunity for you to save me."

He was right. Zhuang Li smiled and said, "Yes, we help each other."

Shangguan Yue asked softly: "You came to the capital to avenge your family?" He paused and said, "You should know my true identity, right?"

She can see four-year-old Li Yu, so she must know who Li Yu is.

Zhuang Li nodded to show that he knew.

Shangguan Yue looked apologetic: "I am actually a criminal, so I can't help you at the moment." At this point, he nodded again, "However, I promise that in the future... I will definitely clear your family's name."

"I'm not interested in clearing the grievances." Zhuang Li said, "Everyone is dead, whether they are guilty or innocent is irrelevant."

It doesn't matter... Shangguan Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, you are right." He gently stroked his sleeves, "Then, I will avenge you and your family, and let those who killed you People, blood for blood, tooth for tooth, families are destroyed and people are destroyed.”

Zhuang Li was a little surprised and looked at Shangguan Yue.

She could see his face clearly.

Shangguan Yue had a bright smile on her face, but her eyes were as cold as the thick snow on the eaves outside.

Zhuang Li suddenly smiled.

Although her vision was dim, Shangguan Yue still felt it and asked, "Are you laughing? Do you not believe me?"

The bright smile turned a little aggrieved.

Yes, he has nothing now, is nothing, is almost dead, and can't even protect himself. It's funny to say such crazy things.

Zhuang Li hurriedly said: "No, I was just laughing. You are not a good person like me."

Not a good person.

Logically speaking, this was a curse word, but when Shangguan Yue heard it, she immediately laughed, and the snow in her eyes melted as she laughed.

"Yes, yes, I am not a good person. Even if I am not dead, if I were to die, I would be a bad guy like you."

Although I have nothing to promise and no longer ask for monthly votes due to the update, I will look at the list and thank you for your votes that put me in a very good ranking.
