White Hedge Dream

Chapter 187 Pretending

Before dawn, Shangguan Yue's carriage stopped outside Princess Jinyu's mansion.

Yesterday's incident has spread widely, Shangguan Yue cannot pretend not to know.

"I'm in, you go back first." He said to Bai Li next to him, "I don't know how long it will take, so don't wait here."

He originally wanted to come alone, but Bai Li followed him anyway.

Bai Li was wrapped in a cloak and was eating sesame porridge he had just bought from the street. He shook his head and said, "I have nothing to do at home. I just happened to go out for a walk." Then he smiled with a crooked eyebrow and said, "You go and do your work. I want to go out for a walk." visit."

Home, she regards the building as her home. Shangguan Yue smiled and said, "Okay, you can go shopping yourself and wait for me in Yuqingtang, and we will go home together."

Bai Li smiled and nodded.

Shangguan Yue broke off a piece of biscuit from beside her and threw it into her mouth: "See you later." She jumped out of the carriage and walked to the gate of the mansion in a swagger.

Of course Shangguan Xiaolang no longer has to go through the back door now. When he saw him coming, the concierge greeted him respectfully, "Young Master is back."

Aju also got the news and came out.

"Is the princess awake?" Shangguan Yue asked.

Aju whispered: "The princess came back last night. She didn't sleep all night and she was not in good spirits."

If you are not in good spirits, your temper will naturally be bad as well.

Shangguan Yue wanted to laugh a little, it was strange that she was in good spirits. She coughed slightly, signaled to A Ju that she understood, and then ran towards the room.

"—Princess, Princess—"

The young man's clear voice broke the quiet morning and brought a fresh breath.

The servant girl Sasao couldn't help but look here, and an idea came to her out of nowhere, it would be good to have a child at home.

The princess was shouting for others. When she entered the inner room, Shangguan Yue changed her name and called her aunt.

"...My aunt is still more powerful. I know that my aunt is the most reliable."

"...Thank you, aunt. Thank you, aunt. My father, my father, Izuku, will definitely be as happy as me."

Looking at the young man who was kneeling on the ground crying and laughing, Princess Jinyu's face was dark.

Was that Shu Ling Shi arranged by Shangguan Yue?

Princess Jinyu examined Shangguan Yue's expressions of joy, sadness and excitement, and she seemed unaware of her private deal with Zhang Ze.

She had someone check the history of the order last night, and it was indeed clean. There was no sign of contact with anyone. To put it bluntly, she had no qualifications to win over.

If it weren't for Empress Chiang's New Deal, this person from Shu Ling Shi's background would not have had the chance to become a court official.

Thinking of this, Princess Jinyu clenched her hands in hatred again. If she said this, Empress Jiang would still harm her!

This demon queen poisoned her even after she died!

"No need to thank me." Princess Jinyu said, "Before I had time to say anything, someone was one step ahead of me."

Shangguan Yue raised her head, looking a little surprised: "Ah, what is aunt talking about?" He blinked again, "Didn't you arrange that person from the Ministry of Justice?" He danced excitedly again, "I didn't understand at first that my aunt gave people Give credit What to do, but then I thought that it would be better for my aunt to do this, gather people from the bottom and start from the humble officials. There are many such officials and they are not noticeable. When the time comes, my aunt will be in the court without knowing it. Take a seat!”

Is that so? It sounds really good, Princess Jinyu thought, well, maybe she can really get in touch with that Shu Lingshi, give him some benefits, and turn him into hers.

"What are you kidding about?" She finally showed a smile, and did not say whether she arranged it or not. She just said, "Don't worry about this matter. I will keep an eye on the progress. This time, I will make sure that the emperor's brother is cleared." "Crime."

Shangguan Yue kowtowed heavily: "As long as my aunt is here, I will have nothing to worry about."

Now that things have come to this, it is inevitable that the former prince will regain his status, and it is also imminent for Shangguan Yue to regain his status.

She won't stop this. If she does, she will be jealous and the gain will outweigh the loss.

"Come on, get up and talk." Princess Jinyu said with a smile.

Shangguan Yue came forward and knelt down at the knees of Princess Jinyu.

"From now on, you can live in peace and don't get into trouble." Princess Jinyu said, "Wait until you call me aunt in a dignified and public manner."

Shangguan Yue nodded excitedly and solemnly, resting her head on Princess Jinyu's lap: "I also look forward to calling my aunt loudly in front of others, so that people know that you are my aunt, my most respected aunt."

Princess Jinyu stroked his head and smiled kindly.

…

…

When Shangguan Yue was deeply in love with Princess Jinyu's aunt and nephew, Bai Li was already standing in front of a mutton shop.

"My dear, could you please wait a little longer," the store clerk greeted warmly.

Bai Li nodded: "I came too early."

Whether it's stewed lamb or roasted lamb, it's not ready yet.

The shop assistant smiled and asked while he was busy: "Have you eaten at our place before? It's hard to find our place here and there."

Bai Li nodded and looked at the colorful flags flying aside, Li's shop, she remembered Zhou Jingyun said, Dongshi, the new roast lamb.

After asking around all the way, it was indeed difficult to find it. It was only passed down by word of mouth from some old customers.

I don’t know how Zhou Jingyun found out about it and even came here to buy it for her.

Does he think she is greedy?

Bai Li couldn't help but smile.

The two busy guys looked at the young lady standing outside the door and couldn't help but say: "That young lady must like our mutton very much, she smiles so happily."…

…

In the palace in the early morning, the emperor almost stayed up all night.

"Your Majesty, please stop reading." Bai Ying said with a distressed look on her face. She walked over and stretched out her hand to press the emperor's head. "You must rest."

The emperor looked at the papers piled up on the desk and sighed: "That Du family is really vicious. He teased the first prince and the third prince in the palm of his hand." He said bitterly, "I don't know how many people like this. My father suddenly disappeared back then. , must have been instigated."

The late emperor had never seen him several times. Bai Ying thought to herself, she didn't know which time he was talking about?

"Let Zhang Ze investigate one by one." She said, "Your Majesty is not as easy to deceive as the late emperor. He will definitely clean up the court and drive out all these evil people!"

The emperor smiled and held Bai Ying's hand. He felt that her fragile appearance and harsh words were innocent and interesting: "Don't stay with me anymore. You need to rest now."

Bai Ying looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I think the matter about the queen may be a misunderstanding..."

When he mentioned the queen, the emperor's face darkened and he patted Bai Ying's hand: "You still said good things for her. Back then, everyone rumored that you were sent by Empress Chiang Kai-shek..."

"But my sister did not drive me away." Bai Ying turned to the emperor, "If my sister is from Empress Chiang Kai-shek, if the rumors are confirmed and I am driven away, Your Majesty will no longer worry about this matter."

The emperor laughed: "You are really a fool. If you stay at home, everyone will stare at you and slander you, it will be a better cover for her."

Bai Ying held the emperor's hand, lowered her head and said: "I don't understand this. I just think that my sister is actually a very good person. If she is really forced by her family, she has nothing to do..."

The emperor sighed and held her in his arms: "Don't I know the queen's temper and whether she treats you well or not? You don't have to say good things for her..."

Bai Ying snuggled into the emperor's arms and murmured in a low voice: "I just miss that my sister has been with His Majesty for many years and suffered so much..."

The emperor sneered: "Why does she suffer? Wherever she goes, the Yang family follows her. She will always be the eldest wife of the Yang family, but the two of us rely on others and depend on others."

Bai Ying reached out to cover his mouth, with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, it's all over. We no longer think about the hard days."

The emperor held her hand and looked at her abdomen: "Yes, the hard days are over, and we, as a family, will be well."

There was a family of three. Bai Ying's lips curved and a smile flashed across her face. What she wanted to say, Wang Degui said respectfully outside: "Your Majesty, Zhou Jingyun wants to see you."

Zhou Jingyun, the emperor's expression was a bit complicated. In the past, he liked to look at this handsome man, but now, the trouble is all caused by him.

Yes, we should also thank him, otherwise we would not have discovered that the person next to us was a remnant of Empress Chiang Kai-shek, but there are some indescribable emotions...

"He disappeared today. Please don't worry. The Queen's case is still under investigation and I will give him an explanation." The emperor said.

Wang Degui responded and was about to leave, but was stopped by Bai Ying: "Let me meet with you on behalf of your majesty. His wife's matter is my fault."

The emperor frowned: "What does it have to do with you, A-ying, you always take the blame on yourself."

Bai Ying smiled and broke away from the emperor's hand: "For your majesty, I will not hesitate to do anything." Then she warned, "But your majesty must listen to my concubine and go and rest now."

The emperor smiled and did not stop him. He signaled to Wang Degui: "Hurry up and help him."

Wang Degui responded, bowed and helped Bai Ying out.

"Prince Zhou, Your Majesty has rested. Please come to the side hall to rest for a while."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Listening to the conversation outside, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the table full of books. To be honest, it was really annoying. This was the first time in so long since he took the throne that he was so distracted.

He got up and went inward to rest for a while.

The main hall fell into silence, and there was no sound in the side hall.

Bai Ying sat on the soft couch and slowly ate the breakfast delivered.

Zhou Jingyun sat on a chair in the palace, lowered his eyes, and silently counted his pulse. When he had counted enough, he stood up and said, "I have followed the instructions of the empress. I will leave."

Bai Ying looked at Zhou Jingyun and smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhou Jingyun looked at her: "You're welcome, I know your Majesty is anxious."

Why does this man's words not sound so nice? Bai Ying said displeased: "I am doing this for your own good. You have offended the Yang family very much this time. If they don't die, you will die."

Zhou Jingyun looked at her and said calmly: "Your Majesty, you should pay more attention to yourself."

Bai Ying looked at him angrily, why was this man so unkind to her? Clearly speaking to Bai Li...

"Your Majesty, are you angry with me? You must understand that I should be angry with you." She said in a deep voice, "You killed my sister. I just wanted to put her in jail, but you directly took her life."

"So?" Zhou Jingyun said, "Your Majesty, you want my life?"

After saying that, he glanced at Bai Ying, turned around and walked out.

There was no emotion in this look, and he seemed to turn a blind eye to her. Bai Ying was so angry that she raised her hand and wanted to smash the spoon on the ground, but she was afraid of disturbing the emperor next door, so she could only hold back.

Zhou Jingyun!

And what's even more disgusting is that he almost didn't look at her once he came in, as if she was some kind of monster.

She is pregnant, but she won't become ugly, right?

Standing outside the hall, Zhou Jingyun looked back. When he saw Bai Ying, he thought he couldn't help but take a second look. After all, Bai Li said that she was very similar to her sister...

But the moment he raised his eyes, he didn't want to see her on other people's faces...

Although he could not remember Zhuang Li's appearance more and more clearly.

Zhuang Li told him that the illusion will fade away when the person leaves, just like a dream.

Zhou Jingyun withdrew his gaze and walked forward slowly.

He couldn't remember what she looked like when she was "dead", and he didn't know what she looked like when she was alive, so does this person still exist?
