White Hedge Dream

Chapter 180 Meeting

The carriage stopped in front of Yuqingtang.

The shop assistant standing in front of the door watching the bustle on the street greeted him with a smile on his face, "Shangguan Xiaolangjun is here -"

Following his voice, Shangguan Yue jumped out of the car.

"Young gentleman, congratulations. Now that you are the son of a princess, your boat business will be even better. Our shopkeeper is looking forward to you—"

The store clerk flattered him loudly and wanted to welcome him inside, but Shangguan Yue didn't go in swaggeringly. Instead, he turned around and raised the car curtain.

A woman's hand rested on Shangguan Yue's arm, then she came out holding her skirt and jumped out of the carriage.

"Is this right here?" Bai Li looked at the door.

Shangguan Yue nodded, "Come in and take a look."

Bai Li walked inside, Shangguan Yue followed behind her.

The store clerk didn't have time to lead the way, so he couldn't help but ask Ji Xiang who was standing by the car: "Who is this?"

Jixiang said dullly: "Mmaid."

Maid? The store clerk was surprised. This was the first time that the young master took a maid out, and he also took him inside...

He couldn't help but glance at Jixiang again. Jixiang was not qualified to follow him!

Good luck is given to people by the prince-in-law.

So where did this maid come from? Being trusted so much by the young master?

Shopkeeper Cai was startled when he saw a woman walking towards him. Although the young master followed behind with a smile on his face, Shopkeeper Cai was still startled.

"you…"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw the woman staring at him and immediately smiled: "Hello, Mother Cai."

Shopkeeper Cai was stunned.

Why does this person call him that!

He is obviously a boy, well, he pretended to be a girl once...

But that was to go to Dongyang Hou Mansion. He left in a hurry and not many people saw it!

"Did you recognize it?"

"My eyesight is very good."

"Is he too ugly to be remembered? I told him not to let him cause trouble, but he didn't listen."

"It's not as good-looking as you."

Shopkeeper Cai listened to the young master talking and laughing with the woman. It sounded like she had seen him before? He hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Shangguan Yue: "Is this girl...?"

Bai Li looked at him and said with a smile: "I am Bai Li..."

White fence? Shopkeeper Cai thought it was an unfamiliar name. Was it the woman on the boat? Gain the young master's trust?

"...My father is Bai Xun."

The woman's voice came to my ears.

Bai Xun, well, I’ve heard of this before, Shuofang Jiedushi... Bai Xun! Bai Xun was questioned! Shopkeeper Cai suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the girl in front of him, gradually merging with the woman on the Haidu document he had seen before.

Seeing him looking at her, Bai Li deliberately straightened her face: "The portrait is of my sister Bai Ying. I am very similar to my sister."

Shopkeeper Cai stuttered: "Yes, yes."

This little lady is quite interesting, knowing that she was arrested with a portrait.

He looked at Shangguan Yue again, and still remembered that he had received the sea arrest documents from the Board of Supervisors, and after a brief search, there was no news. He guessed that a weak woman might be dead, and the young master did not let him search again. It turned out that the young master still searched for her privately. Found it.

But it seems that there is no intention to hand it over to the Board of Supervisors...

"Leng, don't stand outside and talk." Shangguan Yue said, "Hurry in."

Bai Li said hello and walked inward. Shangguan Yue followed with a smile. As soon as he took a step forward, he was grabbed by shopkeeper Cai.

"Master, she..." He asked Bai Li's back, "What's going on?"

In fact, there are many things to ask. When did the young master find her? Why bring her here?

The relationship between the young master and Yu Qingtang is a secret, let alone the warehouse! Not everyone can enter there, it involves the true identity of the young master!

Shangguan Yue smiled at him and said, "I'll tell you more about it later. Anyway, don't worry, she knows everything about me, and I know everything about hers."

After saying that, he patted him on the shoulder.

"Cold, come in quickly."

cold? When did you become afraid of the cold? Are you in a hurry to accompany that little white lady? Shopkeeper Cai caught Shangguan Yue again.

"Master!" He looked at Shangguan Yue and asked in a low voice, "Isn't this little white lady married?"

marriage? Shangguan Yue was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think that she said that she was the young lady of Dongyang Hou Shizi before. Well, it was a lie, so of course she didn't get married.

"No!" He frowned and said, "Why are you asking about this? It's rude!"

After saying that, he threw away shopkeeper Cai and walked in quickly.

Shopkeeper Cai breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't matter whether he was a fugitive or not, as long as he was no longer his wife.

He followed the room briskly, closed the door of the warehouse, and saw the white fence standing by the wall, carefully looking at the dense list of names on it, as well as the blank space at the top.

"...Are you going to write your father and mother's names here?" Bai Li asked in a low voice.

Shangguan Yue nodded: "After the stigma is cleared away." At this point, he looked at Shopkeeper Cai, "What's wrong? It's said that Zhang Ze investigated the Yang family and has something to do with us?"

Shopkeeper Cai nodded: "Young master, do you still remember that we reported to Zhang Ze earlier that the Du family of the Yue family of His Majesty's favorite minister Jiang Datong was involved with Empress Chiang?"

What Yu Qingtang spent manpower and material resources investigating was not really to please Zhang Ze and climb up to the Board of Supervisors, but to investigate the former prince's rebellion.

Shangguan Yue naturally remembered that what she complained to Zhang Ze at that time was that Du offered the art of Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom to Empress Chiang and sought a royal marriage for her daughter through Empress Chiang.

Of course, this was just to let Zhang Zhe find out that Du was a party member of the post-Chiang Kai-shek clan.

In fact, before this Du family begged Empress Chiang, she had already contacted the third prince, King Guangping, and promised to support him. Taking advantage of the discord between the prince and the late emperor and his son, he spread rumors and falsely accused the prince of stationing private soldiers in Bazhou.

Unfortunately, although the prince and the late emperor were incompatible with each other, they eventually died, but King Guangping failed to ascend the throne because his conspiracy was defeated and he fled and died on the road.

Du's work was secretive and he was not implicated. Later, because of his son-in-law Jiang Datong, he was trusted by the sixth prince, who is now the emperor, and the Du family was stable and prosperous.

"Zhang Ze arrested the Du family, and the Du family accused the Yang family of being involved with Empress Chiang." Shopkeeper Cai said, "As a result, the Yang family was surrounded, and the queen and the emperor quarreled in the palace."

Shangguan Yue thought thoughtfully: "Zhang Ze used the evidence we handed over to intimidate the Du family with the intention of getting rid of the Yang family?"

Shopkeeper Cai nodded: "To be precise, get rid of the queen. After all, this matter started when Dongyang Hou Shizi asked the emperor to investigate the death of his wife."

He frowned at this.

"I just don't know if Zhou Jingyun did it accidentally or intentionally..."

It is true that Zhou Jingyun lost his wife, and it is true that his wife died unexpectedly, but this result points to the queen, which is a bit intriguing.

At this time, there was also a lot of discussion outside.

"He was coerced by Zhang Ze and Bai Ying."

suddenly a voice said.

Shopkeeper Cai was stunned for a moment and looked at Bai Li, who was sitting next to the young master.

When he was talking to the young master, the woman also sat down and listened. Thinking that she knew everything the young master said about him, she just let it go. He didn't say anything more and just pretended that the woman didn't exist. I didn't expect her to speak.

Are you so sure?

Is she familiar with Dongyang Hou Shizi?

Shopkeeper Cai frowned.

Bai Li smiled at him: "Mother Cai, I was Zhuang Li before, the young lady of Dongyang Hou Shizi, whom we met."

ah? Shopkeeper Cai was stunned. What nonsense did he hear?

"I'll tell you about this later." Shangguan Yue waved her hand and looked at Bai Li and asked, "So this is Concubine Bai using your death to get rid of the Queen."

Bai Li nodded and smiled: "Yes, my sister is a very powerful person and is very good at seizing opportunities."

Sighing at this point.

Although they left the imperial city successfully that night and successfully fulfilled the dream of the young lady of Dongyang Hou Shizi's unexpected death, Bai Ying and Zhang Ze gave up chasing and entangled her, and it was Zhou Jingyun who stopped them for her.

Yes, to Bai Ying, it doesn't matter whether she lives or dies. Being able to trade her for Zhou Jingyun to control her is so worth it.

Zhou Jingyun…

He said that he admired Empress Chiang very much, thought that Empress Chiang was a hero, and even painted a portrait for him to keep privately. But even so, he was unwilling to work for Empress Chiang and stayed away from the court.

Now, because of her, he was forced by Bai Ying and became a tool to fight for power.

Bai Li stood up suddenly: "I'm going out for a while."

ah? Shopkeeper Cai was still stunned.

Shangguan Yue quickly stood up: "I'll go with you."

Bai Li came back to his senses and smiled at him, stretched out his hand to hold his arm, and sat him down: "You continue to do your work, this is also a matter related to your father. I will go out for a walk by myself."

Shangguan Yue sat down, but held her sleeve again and asked, "Are you worried about Crown Prince Zhou and want to see him?"

Without waiting for Bai Li's answer, he smiled again.

"Don't worry, it's not that easy for Zhang Zhi to use the Du family. I went to see the princess right away. I gave some evidence to the Board of Supervisors at that time, but more evidence is still in my hand. I gave it to the princess and asked her to come forward to handle this matter. The princess is definitely willing to use this case to make a name for herself, so that the Yang family can be brought out, and Prince Zhou will not be implicated. "

After hearing this, Bai Li said with a smile: "Compared to you, my sister has bad luck."

Shangguan Yue raised an eyebrow and smiled: "As you said, my luck is very good, don't worry." Then he said seriously, "If Zhou Shizi is really forced by Bai Ying and Zhang Ze, you'd better not let them find out, so as not to It’s even more difficult for him, Prince.”

Bai Li nodded: "You are right, I will be careful."

Shangguan Yue stood up holding her sleeves: "I'll take you back to the building first, and then go to the princess mansion." Then he looked at shopkeeper Cai, "Get your things ready."

Shopkeeper Cai's mind is still in a state of confusion.

Isn’t the young lady of Dongyang Hou Shizi dead? Why does this person named Bai Li say that he is her?

She appeared next to the young master again. This, this, who can explain to him, what is going on?

Fake your own death to escape and run away with the young master?

Seeing how nervous the young master was, he stopped the woman as soon as she showed the idea of ​​meeting Dongyang Hou Shizi.

After Shangguan Yue said this, she had already walked out. Shopkeeper Cai could only follow and muttered: "Everything is ready."

Bai Li said, "I can just go back by myself. You can go directly to the princess mansion."

Shangguan Yue didn't say yes or no, she just went out. When they saw him coming out, the store clerk and Ji Xiang sitting in the hall were a little surprised that it happened so quickly today.

The store clerk was busy exaggerating and exaggerating: "Shangguan Xiaolangjun, please make a lot of money -"

Jixiang also hurriedly went to bring the carriage. As soon as he brought it, a group of people and horses slowly drove up the street, mixed with the sound of discussions on the street.

"Look, it's Dongyang Hou Shizi—"

"I heard that he framed the queen—"

"You can't say that. He just wanted to find the truth about his wife's death."

"His wife is dead and he wants to find the truth, so he needs so many people to be buried with him."

"The Yang family was surrounded. I heard that a young lady from the Yang family was frightened to death—"

"Oh my God-"

Shangguan Yue suddenly stopped as she reached the door, stretched out her hand to stop him slightly, and Bai Li, who was following him, also stopped.

"It's Dongyang Hou Shizi -" Shangguan Yue whispered.

Bai Li looked outside, but did not take another step. The next moment, Zhou Jingyun in a black cloak appeared in his sight.

He was riding a horse with a cold expression.

This silenced the chatter on the street, leaving only stares.

Behind him was a carriage, and through the swaying curtains, two women were faintly visible.

It is Mrs. Dongyanghou and Mrs. Xue.

Bai Li recognized it at a glance.

The carriages and horses moved very slowly, but very quickly. They passed by in an instant and disappeared from sight.

Shangguan Yue stood still, waited for a while, then turned to Bai Li and said softly: "Let's go."

Bai Li smiled and nodded, and followed him out. When he got on the car, he looked over and saw that Zhou Jingyun had already reached the intersection. People crossing the street could still see his back on the horse.

Will he look back?

But when I saw her, I didn’t recognize her.

Zhou Jingyun had not seen his true appearance. When he was asked if he wanted to take a look, he said no because he was afraid that he would lose his temper and reveal his flaws.

Bai Li stood there, slightly lost in thought.

Shangguan Yue didn't urge her, she got in the car first and just waited with the curtain raised.

Bai Li looked away, smiled at him, and held his outstretched hand to get into the carriage.

The carriage curtain was lowered, Jixiang led the horse and turned around to walk out of the city.

Zhou Jingyun suddenly turned around.

There have been more and more people following and spying on them in the past few days. The guards were very nervous and subconsciously turned around.

"Prince?" he asked in a low voice.

What's wrong?

There was nothing wrong, he just suddenly felt as if Zhuang Li was looking at him.

Although he walked past, there were still countless eyes looking at him on the street. When he suddenly turned around, there was a commotion, some were panicking, some were avoiding, some were happy, some were dumbfounded, and there was a lot of confusion.

He didn't see the person he wanted to see.

The capital is actually very big, so how can we meet her so easily? Maybe she has already left the capital.

Moreover, even if she were here, he wouldn't recognize her.

He didn't know what she looked like now.

Zhou Jingyun smiled when he thought of this.

It's a good thing that he didn't recognize it, otherwise, if he saw it, he would inevitably be unable to look away, and it would be inappropriate if someone discovered him.

Zhou Jingyun looked away: "No, let's go."
