White Hedge Dream

Chapter 177 Take the initiative

That night.

For Shen Qing, it is unforgettable.

To the guests at the palace banquet that night, it was just a vague dream about someone falling from a building.

But Shen Qing experienced a dream in which Empress Jiang was peeled off layer by layer from her body and her heart was ripped out.

Trapped by the imperial bell in front of him and suppressed by millet beads above, he could only watch Empress Chiang die.

Watching Empress Chiang die again.

Nothing can be done.

Thinking of this Shen Qing's eyes were about to burst, and his heart hurt greatly, as if he was being peeled off layer by layer, and his heart was dug out.

He quickly turned to look in the mirror.

The self in the mirror sits as straight as a pine tree, not peeling off or dripping with blood, everything is just his illusion.

The inner demons planted by that dream.

It was precisely because of this inner demon that in his eyes the strings of the piano were broken, the butterflies died, and the empress' soul was nowhere to be found.

This is all because -

He turned his head and looked at the girl sitting in front of him.

The girl looked at him with interest, as if she was enjoying his frightened embarrassment.

"How dare you come!" Shen Qing said coldly.

Bai Li smiled: "Why don't I dare to come? Do you think I should escape the capital and live an ignoble existence after I get rid of the big dream you weaved?"

Isn't it? Isn't that what she did for it?

"Of course not." Bai Li said, looking at him, "You caused me to do this, is this the end of it?"

Shen Qing was stunned for a moment, then laughed the next moment.

Zhuang Feizi said that Baili was unruly and wandering in the wilderness with a perverse temperament. Of course, Zhuang Feizi said a lot more, but he didn't listen much and didn't care. To put it bluntly, he was just a country girl who didn't understand anything.

It is true that the ignorant are fearless.

Relying on this god-given physique and the special restraint of the imperial city that night, she managed to escape from his dream weaving. Did she really think she was omnipotent?

You actually came to him so arrogantly to ask for an explanation? What, do you want revenge?

Shen Qing laughed: "You took advantage of the situation that night. How powerful do you really think you are? Your skills of confusing and killing people can also be used on Zhu Shan and his ilk. You want to kill me. You are really brazen."

Speaking of which, he sneered again.

"And the magic is nothing but illusion. After all, you and I are still alive in this world."

He looked at Bai Li and slapped his hand **** the table.

The low table on which the piano was placed creaked and broke to the ground.

Although he is a luthier, he is not helpless.

Bai Li seemed to be amazed: "I really don't have the strength." He also reached out and touched the broken table.

Shen Qing didn't care about her teasing.

"Also, don't forget your identity." He continued, "I don't have to deal with you personally and pass the news to the government. You can't even think about peace. I really don't know why you are so crazy to come to me. To ask for an explanation, you might as well say that you are here to seek death."

Speaking of this, he looked sad and angry, looking at Bai Li bitterly.

"You are such a worthless waste. If you die a hundred times, you will not be worth even half of my finger. If my queen is alive, she will be a blessing to all people! But you killed my queen!"

He clenched the hand hanging by his side, as if he was about to slap Bai Li, causing her to break like a low table.

Bai Li was neither frightened nor angry, and nodded as if you were right.

"Yes, I am a waste and cannot benefit all people." She said, "But since I am born in this world and God allows me to live, I should live. Also, I did not kill your mother-in-law..."

Yes, of course Empress Chiang died at the hands of those thieves.

The prime minister, the general, and the villains of Qian Niuwei took advantage of His Majesty's serious illness to take King Changyang back to the capital and forced the palace to rebel.

These villains should have been killed in the first place. It was the kindness of the Queen who spared their lives, these unfamiliar dogs!

As Shen Qing thought about it, Bai Li's voice continued to be heard in his ears.

"...In any case, you killed your empress."

Shen Qing sneered inwardly, but also laughed at himself.

Yes, this is also his fault. Even if the empress did not give the order, he should have gotten rid of the Changyang King long ago to see who else these traitors can support!

Now because of his mistake, he watched the empress' soul disappear.

Shen Qing looked at Bai Li with pain, hatred and regret in her heart.

However, the empress did die in her hands. If she hadn't resisted, if she hadn't insisted on surviving, the empress would have been standing in the imperial city now.

Since the empress is dead, there is no need for her to live.

I was about to inquire about her whereabouts, but I didn't expect that she would come to my door.

Yes, it's time to take revenge. Let's kill her today to avenge the empress.

"Since you know that I am crucial to your queen's survival, why don't you discuss it with me?"

discuss? Discuss what? Shen Qing's thoughts were slightly stagnant.

"The conditions for my life." Bai Li said, looking at him, "For example, the condition is that you will help me redress my injustice, for example, you will help me revenge, so that my family will not die in vain, so that my family can rest in peace, Shen Langjun, Zhuang Feizi took me away and even gave me a painting to please me. You never thought about taking my life, so why should I give it to you if you just rob me like this?"

What's the meaning? Shen Qing was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly: "I said before that your death has nothing to do with me. It was because you took the risk and lost your mind. You were meant to die."

"What about Mr. Zhuang?" Bai Li asked, "Has he ever thought about saving me?"

Shen Qing looked at her: "No."

Go ahead, be sad, and leave ripples in your heart. When you fall into confusion, the small ripples can swallow you up.

Bai Li looked at him with a crooked smile: "You are a bad person. If you say something sarcastic, then you are."

This smile is somewhat girlish and childish.

Shen Qing sneered and did not answer.

"I didn't investigate whether you killed me." Bai Li continued, "Even if I died at the time, you couldn't discuss it with me and just came to seize my body. Didn't I live later? Why didn't you talk to me? Let’s discuss it carefully?”

These words brought a bit of anger.

Shen Qing frowned. After the young lady came in, she was arrogant and joking, and her words became more and more strange.

It is true that he has never understood this little white lady. From the two encounters where she suffered losses, he can see that she has a bad temper and is crazy. Now what is this?

"If we discuss it carefully, are you willing to die?" he said coldly.

He saw it with his own eyes. Even though she was already dead, she still refused to leave. He couldn't even turn on the soul lamp. In the end, he still grabbed the empress's feet and crawled back.

"Didn't you see it with your own eyes, I would have given up my life." Bai Li said, looking at him, "I gave up my life to save my family."

That's true, this little lady was indeed bold and reckless at that time, and she was determined to die without any care.

Shen Qing said lightly: "I am also a fugitive now and can't save the lives of your family." Bai Li nodded: "I know, but you can avenge my family, can't you?"

Her family was convicted by the court and framed by the evil official Zhang Zhe.

As a party member of the Empress Chiang Kai-shek, Shen Qing's purpose is to disrupt the court and welcome Empress Chiang to return. In this case, those who convict the Bai Xun clan of crimes will end up with the same fate.

It can be regarded as a great revenge.

Welcome Empress Jiang back. Thinking of this, Shen Qing felt sad and sneered: "Since you knew, why did you kill the empress! What's the use of talking about it now!"

"I don't know. You didn't say anything and acted like you were robbing me. I can only resist." Bai Li said, smiling again, "Of course it's useful now. Empress Jiang was just killed by me." It’s just one time. If she doesn’t die in your heart, she will be born again.”

Rebirth... Shen Qing subconsciously looked at the bamboo cage aside. The butterfly in the bamboo cage was motionless.

"Mr. Shen, of course you have a way to find your empress again."

Bai Li's voice came again.

Shen Qing looked at her, his eyes still cold, but his tone softened: "Then what?"

Bai Li looked at him and smiled: "Let's discuss the terms."

…

…

"Is she really willing to sacrifice her life?"

After listening to the story, Mrs. Huang looked shocked and asked anxiously.

Shen Qing looked in the mirror, and this time it was Mrs. Huang who appeared in the mirror. Of course, he also knew that it was true at this time.

Bai Li first confused the women in the small courtyard and walked into the room with the appearance of Madam Huang, and then asked the women to leave him a confused thought, "Madam Huang has been crying these days." So as soon as he entered the door, he saw Huang The lady is crying.

In the past, he was in the dark, she was in the light, and everything was under his control, but now it's him in the light, and it's really difficult to guard against the little lady Bai who is in the dark.

"She has three conditions." Shen Qing said, looking in the mirror, it seemed that Bai Li was still sitting in front of her, holding out three fingers.

"First, when Empress Chiang comes back, she will overturn the case for the Bai family, and the clan members will want to reward him."

Huang Niangzi said from the side: "This is natural. If you die because of your empress, you will not be treated badly." She urged, "This condition is not a condition at all, what else?"

"Second, listen to her orders." Shen Qing said.

Madam Huang was stunned: "How can this be done! Who is she! How can we listen to her!"

Shen Qing smiled, he had the same reaction at that time.

"Why isn't this possible? I will be Empress Chiang Kai-shek in the future." The young lady said confidently, "You are adapting in advance, it is reasonable and reasonable."

How funny.

"Don't worry, the so-called listening to her orders means that we can only help if she needs it." Shen Qing said to Mrs. Huang.

Madam Huang frowned: "But how can we restrain her? Your piano is broken, and you can't weave her dreams."

She said verbally that she was no less capable than Shen Qing. If she regretted it and walked away, who could do anything to her?

Shen Qing naturally asked, but received a sneer from the woman.

"Now is not the time for you to make terms with me." She said, "Besides, you have seen with your own eyes that in order to deal with you, I induced telekinesis myself. You should know what this means."

Yes, at the previous palace banquet, without his control, Zhuang Li awakened Empress Chiang, used this to seduce his cobweb strings, and then cut them off.

He was indeed cut off by her, but because she tempted herself and told herself that she was Empress Chiang Kai-shek, her thoughts must have taken root.

The difference is that this thought is under her own control and suppressed deep in her heart.

But it won't always be controllable. A person with her physique can make others confused, and she can easily become confused herself.

"I don't know when my thoughts are out of control, and I don't know who I am and go crazy, so I'll take advantage of it while I'm still awake."

"Shen Qing, if you don't care, I will fend for myself."

It's impossible not to care, she is the empress... Shen Qing smiled at Mrs. Huang: "Actually, it is beneficial to me if she can take the initiative to see me..."

He looked at the bamboo cage again. The originally gray wooden butterfly seemed to have regained its brilliance.

When she came to negotiate terms with him, it was equivalent to making a promise and giving him new ideas.

Madam Huang sighed softly and raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. There was really no other way now. This was the only chance.

"What about the third one?" She thought of something she hadn't finished talking about.

Shen Qing sneered: "Give her property."

…

…

Of course it is necessary to provide her with property.

Bai Li stood at the street corner and weighed the money bag in his hand.

Previously, she was Zhou Jingyun's wife. She was married to a man, clothed and fed, so she didn't have to spend any money of her own in the Dongyang Marquis Mansion.

Now she is no longer the young lady of Dongyang Hou. Shangguan Yue took her in and gave her a place to stay. She has not repaid his life-saving grace, so she cannot really just eat and drink from others, even wearing his clothes.

She was harmed by Shen Qing today, so it was natural for her to spend his money.

Bai Li looked at the street. It was almost dusk and people were coming and going on the street. This was the busiest time before the curfew.

I wonder if I will see Zhou Jingyun?

The thought flashed through his mind and he smiled again.

So what if he saw her, he didn't recognize her, and she couldn't talk to him.

Bai Li put his purse away, thought of something, and asked a young lady passing by: "Where is the Yang's store?"

The young lady showed her the way with a smile, Baili thanked her and merged into the crowd on the street.

…

…

The dusk was falling, and there was no longer any light outside the curtain that needed to be blocked, and everything inside and outside was dim.

Lying on the bed, Shangguan Yue's tense body slowly relaxed. The next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes and subconsciously looked to the left and right. Her face was full of panic in the dusk.

"You're awake."

A female voice came.

As the sound came, the fear on Shangguan Yue's face dissipated, and she saw a woman sitting on the ground in front of her turn around.

The darkness in the room suddenly dispersed, like pearls shining brightly.

"Come on, I bought you something good to eat." Bai Li waved with a smile.

The smile on Shangguan Yue's face faded, and she jumped off the bed: "What?"
