White Hedge Dream

Chapter 163 Talk about her

"Dalangjun, go see her, tell her your identity, and let her know that everyone is the same."

Shen Qing stood in the dim light, watching the singing and dancing in the palace. He seemed to be concentrating on the appreciation, until he was interrupted urgently by the servant behind him in a low voice.

Shen Qing's originally gloomy face became even more ugly: "What is the same? Who does she belong to, the Empress! She is just asking for the favor of the Empress, and the Empress will give her a future, and she deserves to be called the Empress!"

The chamberlain was helpless: "I know you despise her, but now is not the time to care about this. Bai Ying is already crazy about her future. We must save Little Lady Bai, otherwise we will fail."

He said and looked in the direction of the adjacent building.

"The Emperor's Bell is there and can break all illusions, so we can only be honest with each other."

Shen Qing said coldly: "What a beautiful little lady. For her, Zhou Jingyun has dedicated his fortune, and I will also dedicate myself."

The chamberlain urged: "What we want to save this time is Miss Bai's life, not Miss Bai herself. We want ours, and Bai Ying can do it. Everyone gets what they want. It's a bit troublesome to expose your identity, but Mr. Shen Dalang There must be a way for you to get out."

Shen Qing exhaled, picked up Qin and turned around, passing by people drinking, laughing or watching lanterns. Everyone seemed to be immersed in joy and turned a blind eye to Shen Qing.

Compared to the bustle in Linde Hall, the building next door was quiet at the moment.

Wang Degui lowered his head like a wooden stake, existing only for Bai Ying to support him. The ten soldiers and guards looked dull, as if they couldn't hear anything.

In this way, she admitted that she was a member of the Chiang Kai-shek Party.

Easily, simply, without any hesitation.

Yes, for her, if she admits this, she won't die, only the people related to her will die.

What's more, the person who heard it was her prisoner, what could she do?

In dreams, people will be wary and scrupulous because of their instincts, but in reality, they will be naked and frank because everything is under control.

Zhuang Li was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did it start when he submitted a letter to sue the Song family?"

Bai Ying looked at her: "Yes." She sighed softly and recalled with her eyes, "Looking back now, I still find it a bit incredible. Someone so high up would really hear my grievances."

Zhuang Li looked into Bai Ying's eyes and seemed to see her hand and arm wrapped in wound cloth, taking advantage of the darkness to sneak up to Tong Guo in the busy city.

Although she is said to be the mistress of the family, she is still just a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

It was the first time for the girl to do this kind of thing. There seemed to be countless eyes looking at her in the dark night, but fortunately no one came out to question her.

She couldn't remember which mouth to throw it into, so she stuffed it in haphazardly and stumbled away.

As day and night change, the copper lock is opened, and letters from this place fly to the capital together with letters from all directions, and are gathered together in one place.

In the tall hall, in different rooms, the letters were opened one by one, checked, and then recorded in a book.

Bai Ying's letter was picked out.

"Dalangjun, this one is for complaining, but I mistakenly put it into giving advice."

"A little girl was hit by someone. Well, she is indeed complaining. Please register again."

After two sentences of dialogue, the letter was about to be taken away, but another female voice sounded.

"Let me see."

At the same time, a white and soft hand stretched out, and the letter was handed over. The letter was opened, and the white fingers painted with Danko slid over the writing and landed on the last line.

"... We are obviously all human beings, why do we value him more than others? This is unfair. Please do justice to God, the Queen."

The female voice read the words on the letter and laughed.

"Asking me to do justice for heaven can be regarded as giving advice, and it's not wrong."

"Go ahead and let her see that even noble people will be punished. There is no one in heaven."

What happened next?

"Later, everyone saw that the Song family, which bullied others with power, was destroyed." Bai Ying said that although a long time had passed, her eyes still sparkled when she thought of that moment.

Such a prominent, such a big family, so many people, because of her words and letters, became prisoners, were exiled and beheaded, just like a big tree collapsed and turned into nothing.

It was really scary and exciting.

"What happened next?" Zhuang Li continued to ask, looking at Bai Ying, "What letter did you send to her later?"

At that time, I wanted to read the letter in my dream, but I encountered strong resistance from Bai Ying.

Bai Ying smiled and said simply: "Of course it's a letter of thanks."

A letter of thanks?

"The Queen punishes **** and eliminates evil for me, so of course I have to express my admiration, admiration, and yearning for her—"

yearn for.

Zhuang Li was silent for a moment and then asked: "Later, you followed your father to Beijing. Did you go to see Empress Chiang Kai-shek?"

Bai Ying nodded again: "Yes." Although it has been a long time, when talking about this matter, she seemed to have become the girl who had never traveled far away, nervous, uncomfortable and expectant, "Actually, I didn't expect that it would really be possible." When I saw her, I thanked her in the letter and said I wanted to say thank you to her in person. Unexpectedly, she actually asked someone to take me to see her..."

Having said this, he looked at Zhuang Li with a smile on his face.

"She doesn't even see her father, she only sees me."

Zhuang Li lowered her head, and the ropes were crisscrossed around her body, tied tightly. She crossed her hands on her knees, wearing a ruby ​​ring.

The ruby ​​glowed like a mirror, faintly reflecting her face.

The bright lights around her were shining brightly, and she squinted her eyes.

"Jiang Mian'er." She said, "Her name is Jiang Mian'er."

Jiang Mian'er? Bai Ying looked at Zhuang Li and saw her hanging her head, seemingly lost in thought.

She squeezed the Sanqing Bell again, looked around, and then at Zhuang Li.

The building was bright and there were no more than ten guards. Zhuang Li was tied and kneeling on the ground, his posture and face still the same.

Bai Ying relaxed and smiled: "Jiang Mian'er." She also called out the name, "It's not like you don't know anything. You also know that her name is Jiang Mian'er."

She sighed a little when she said the name.

No one has mentioned Jiang Mian'er for a long time, and she herself has never mentioned it.

In fact, she only met her twice.

One was an audience alone, and the other was following King Changyang and his concubine into the palace to pay homage.

Both times she failed to see Empress Chiang's face clearly.

When she was alone, she was full of panic. Although she was close at hand, she didn't dare to look more.

During the pilgrimage, I was in a humble position, standing among the maids of honor. The man was on a high throne and could not be seen clearly.

But for someone like Empress Chiang, even if she just walks past you, even if you only see her from a distance, who can forget her?

"What a pity you never met her."

"What kind of person is she?" Zhuang Li lowered his head and murmured.

Who isn't curious? That was Empress Chiang.

Bai Ying was not surprised by Zhuang Li's inquiry.

It had been too long since she had mentioned it, and there had never been anyone to talk to. Now that Zhuang Li had brought up the subject, she couldn't help but want to say a few more words.

In the future, it will be even harder to have the opportunity to speak.

"She is very good-looking, not in a way that makes people think she is coquettish, but in a way that makes people like her."

"She is very majestic, not a scary majesty, but a majestic one where everything is under her control and she is fearless."

Zhuang Li looked at the ruby ​​ring, and his eyes became more and more distracted as Bai Ying's voice sounded. But what Bai Ying couldn't see was that the face in the ruby ​​ring became clearer and clearer. A pair of autumn eyes, a tall nose, and a small cherry mouth are clearly shown.

It looks really good.

It is necessary to be good-looking, otherwise there will be no chance of entering this imperial city and being seen by the emperor.

But living in this imperial city, just looking good is not enough.

It also needs to be remembered, liked and feared.

What about after meeting?

Is she going to take this little white lady as her own?

Bai Ying's voice sounded far and near in his ears.

"...I told the queen that I am willing to serve her."

To serve her?

How can I help?

"I am willing to be the queen's chess piece, to confuse the prince for the queen, and to monitor the prince."

Laughter rang in her ears. Bai Ying looked ahead in a daze and saw Zhuang Li lowering his head and laughing.

"Are you doing this for the sake of your empress?" she said, "or for yourself? Do you really want to marry King Changyang?"

Although many years have passed, Bai Ying's face still turned red instantly when she suddenly heard these words again, feeling hot and ashamed.

The empress also said the same thing at that time.

Why do you want to marry the King of Changyang? Because a hero saves a beautiful woman and repays her with a spring of life-saving grace?

"No, I just want to be like Empress." She murmured.

Zhuang Li's voice came again: "What kind of person is I?"

This sentence seemed to have been asked before. Bai Ying was in a daze and did not notice that Zhuang Li's words had changed.

For a person like Empress Jiang, it is natural that everyone is afraid of her.

Is everyone afraid of her?

A smile slowly appeared on the face reflected by the gemstone ring.

"Everyone is not afraid of me." She raised her head and looked at Bai Ying, "They are afraid of power."

Bai Ying was stunned again.

Empress Chiang said this at the time, but she has not said it yet.

Why did Zhuang Li say it first?

She couldn't help but look at Zhuang Li in front of her.

The face in front of him was still pale, but the moment he raised his head, it seemed that he suddenly shed a layer of skin and took on a different appearance.

His eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

The facial features changed from familiar to unfamiliar.

Strange, yet familiar.

Her vision was in a daze, as if she was standing in the spacious palace again, looking at the woman sitting lazily on the gorgeous dragon chair, like a blooming peony.

"Little girl." She said with a smile, "You don't have to want to be like me. What you want is to get power."

Bai Ying pressed her heart, and the face she remembered merged with Zhuang Li in front of her at this moment.

Her ears were buzzing, her breathing was rapid, and she was in disbelief.

Zhuang Li in front of him no longer looked at her, his eyes turned to Wang Degui, and the soldiers and guards looked around again, as if they were trying to identify where they were.

"Jie Linlou." She said, nodded, and returned her gaze to Bai Ying, "It seems that you have gained power now."

As he spoke, the ropes tied around his body fell off, and his shoulders and back relaxed, like a flower slowly blooming.

Bai Ying let out a scream and raised the Sanqing Bell in her hand forward.

…

…

With a buzz, Shen Qing suddenly stopped and lowered his head to look at the guqin he was carrying.

The strings are trembling.

The chamberlain who appeared again at some unknown time was caught off guard and ran up behind him.

"What's wrong?" he asked, "Let's go quickly."

Ahead is the Jie Neighbor Building.

Shen Qing ignored him and only looked at the piano in his hand.

As he watched, the strings plucked again.

Not an illusion.

And not just one, all the strings are moving, as if a person is stretching their arms, as if they are trying to break away from the body of the piano.

He blurted out: "Your Majesty, wake up!"

The chamberlain was stunned: "Why did your Majesty wake up?" and asked, "Did you bring My Majesty in?"

Shen Qing shook his head, he didn't, how could he bring the empress here? There is an imperial bell here.

The danger has been experienced before.

He will not let her get into danger again before she wakes up completely.

"Then what's going on? You didn't wake up the empress, how could the empress wake up?" the chamberlain asked, his eyes also falling on Shen Qing's guqin.

Under the bright lights, no one plays the strings, and they fly by themselves without making any sound, which is strange and terrifying.

He didn't call, and the butterfly wasn't there, but the queen woke up. That could only be for one reason.

Shen Qing looked at the brightly lit Jie Neighbor Building ahead.

There is another person in this world who is tied to the empress.

"She woke up the queen!"

How dare she wake up the empress?

Of course, his ultimate goal is to revive the empress, but at present, the consciousness of Little Empress Bai still occupies the main body, and she must be wary of the other consciousness.

Only if he leads her away every time can the empress have a chance to wake up.

Why did she take the initiative to wake up the empress?

Could it be that she was frightened by Bai Ying? Lost your mind and dissipated?

Shen Qing's face turned livid.

This is the result he wants to see, but not now.

Now, it's bad!

He raised his head and looked at the neighboring building. The originally bright lanterns seemed to start to shake, and his vision became blurred.
