White Hedge Dream

Chapter 194 Safety

As dusk approaches, the docks outside the city are crowded with people, not coolies and boatmen, but fancy cars, BMWs and jewels, all filled with people.

"What's going on?" Shen Qing couldn't help but ask.

Didn’t Shangguan Yue go to the imperial mausoleum? I thought Lou Chuan would no longer be in business.

"Of course we are open. For such a big happy event, Lou Chuan specially sent invitations to the guests to congratulate the county king." The people watching the excitement explained, and then looked at him and saw that he was wearing a silk shirt, but it was not too much. Jingmei shook his head and said, "You also want to board the building boat and cling to the prince? Don't think about it. The guests on the building boat are all fixed."

The person next to me came over and said, "If you know a regular customer, you can buy it from him."

"What are you buying? These dandy boys don't care about money at all. At this moment, they are so proud that they are flying into the sky. They have been told not to sell by their family members. It is ridiculous. Gambling money has turned out to be a good thing."

"But it seems like an old guest can bring a new guest."

"It's been sold out a long time ago. It's the first time these dandy boys are so popular. They have their tails raised to the sky."

There was a lot of chatter around as they looked at the children who were having fun. Sure enough, they all held their chests out and raised their heads, not hiding like before.

Some people said arrogantly: "In the past, they said it was too much fun to play with this outside house, but now? You have seen it, you are all blind and blind!"

These words caused a commotion, mixed with "Mr. Zhang family - take me in - I will bring you tea and water -" and "... Forget about bringing tea and water, it's OK to make the bed and fold the quilt -" and other random laughter .

It is indeed unbearable to hang out with these people, but it is not a bad thing. The foreign wife needs a reputation for being a libertine, and the new prince in the royal family also needs it for the time being. At least the emperor can be less alert. Shen Qing walked towards the building boat thoughtfully.

Of course, for Li Yu's sake, he was not treated as one of his own, but just as the empress's new stepping stone.

"Hey, you really should go."

"Don't even think about rushing up, or you'll be thrown into the Jinshui River."

"No one dared to mess with this young man before, and even more so now."

But as he was talking, he saw the unattractive-looking man walking up to the boat and saying something to a waiter. The waiter looked at him and then went inside. After a while, he came back and respectfully led the man onto the boat.

The onlookers didn't make a fuss at all. There were many people in the capital who didn't look good but had extraordinary status. It was a pity that they didn't see the excitement.

Shen Qing walked up the stairs. He could have gone directly to the boat without disturbing the people here, but...

That country girl is rude and he can't be like her.

"Why are Mr. Shen Dalang here?" A voice came from above.

Shen Qing looked up and saw Bai Li standing in front of the railing. The girl was wearing a goose-yellow shirt. Although she only had a hairpin on her bun, her whole person was dazzling with jewels.

How can a country girl have such magnanimity? It must be because of the empress! Shen Qing endured the excitement in her heart, lowered her head and said, "I have something to tell you."

In fact, he just wanted to see her status on this ship.

He had obviously been hiding in the Dongyang Marquis Mansion not long after he came to the capital. How could he gain Shangguan Yue's trust? After all, this Baili is not really a complete empress.

But just now he said that he wanted to see Miss Bai, whose surname was Shen, and the shop assistant immediately went to ask her without asking any more questions, and then brought her in. It can be seen that Miss Bai is the one who calls the shots in this building.

Since Bai Li told him where he was, he didn't mind him coming over and invited him to take a seat: "Say it."

Shen Qing came prepared and told the emperor about the emperor's treatment of the empress Yang family.

Bai Li listened and smiled: "It turns out that when you become the emperor's concubine, you have to confiscate your family and exterminate your clan."

Shen Qing sneered: "This Changyang King is just a useless coward." He paused here and said, "Also, your sister is about to give birth."

Bai Li said oh.

Shen Qing continued: "She should be trying to win a man at one stroke. My people followed Zhang Ze and saw that he collected many pregnant women..."

Bai Li sat up straight and asked, "Where are those pregnant women?"

"I can only tell you this. Zhang Ze is extremely cautious and changes places three times a day..." Shen Qing said.

Bai Li looked at him coldly, his eyes undisguised with disdain.

Shen Qing couldn't help but feel angry, and gritted out the rest of his words: "...I will have people keep a close eye on me."

Bai Li took out a piece of incense from the spice box on the side and handed it to him: "For marking."

This is the sign of dreaming that she learned from Mrs. Zhuang. Shen Qing does know this method. Not everyone can have this method, just like he only has the method of dream weaving, but he cannot transform into other things. Other people's dreams travel between heaven and earth.

It is indeed a rare treasure in the world.

Of course, this kind of treasure should belong to the empress and be used by the empress. Shen Qing took it with eyes lowered and then raised her head: "Mrs. Zhuang is gone."

Bai Li frowned: "What?"

Although Mr. Zhuang and his wife were no longer the same in her heart as before, she suddenly heard that Mrs. Zhuang was missing...

Shen Qing sneered: "It should have been robbed by Zhou Jingyun's people."

Zhou Jingyun? Bai Li's straight shoulders relaxed, it was okay, he must be doing it for her own good.

….

….

As night fell, Zhou Jingyun reined in his horse and stopped in front of a house in the east city of Beijing. Feng'er ran over and knocked on the door. With a rhythmic sound, the door opened from the inside.

"Brother Jiang Yun." Feng'er rushed over happily.

Jiang Yun held him up with one hand and nodded to Zhou Jingyun who came over: "Your Majesty."

Zhou Jingyun nodded and walked in. Feng'er, who was put down, closed the door and stood guard at the door.

"Was the journey going smoothly?" Zhou Jingyun asked.

Jiang Yun nodded: "Not bad."

Mrs. Zhuang is surrounded by people who monitor her, especially the old woman around her who is good at making people hallucinate. He took Mrs. Zhuang away from Dengzhou a few times and lost her inexplicably. Fortunately, he did not give up and repeatedly dealt with them. .

"Mrs. Zhuang also taught me a trick, which is to cut the pain." Jiang Yun said with a smile and shook his arm.

Zhou Jingyun looked at his arm. Even through his clothes, he could imagine that there must be many cuts on it: "Take good care of your injuries, don't break your body."

Jiang Yun smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty." Zhou Jingyun walked into the room and saw an elegant woman in her forties sitting in front of the desk, writing.

At first sight of this gesture, Zhou Jingyun froze subconsciously, as if he saw Zhuang Li.

As expected, he was brought up by Mrs. Zhuang, and his behavior is exactly the same.

"The Crown Prince is here." Mrs. Zhuang put down her pen and stood up.

Zhou Jingyun looked away: "Mrs. Zhuang, don't be surprised. I think you are still in my hands, so I feel more at ease."

Mrs. Zhuang sighed: "Actually, the reason why I am willing to be trapped by them is because I feel ashamed and don't know how to face the Crown Prince and...Ali."

"I don't care about what happened before, I just want to ask." Zhou Jingyun said, "Were you wandering around the mountains and forests looking for people like her?"

Mrs. Zhuang shook her head: "That's not true. At that time, Zhuang Feizi heard that Mian'er..."

Mian'er? Zhou Jingyun was stunned for a moment by this title.

Mrs. Zhuang also smiled immediately: "When Zhuang Feizi first entered the capital, she met Empress Chiang Kai-shek. At that time, she had not yet entered the palace and was still a child. She had attended several classes with her family. She was talented and intelligent and was famous for her talent. I liked it very much. Later, her family fell into decline and she entered the Jiaofangsi. Zhuang Feizi asked me to ask her if she wanted to redeem it, but she refused. "

He sighed softly at this point.

"This kid has big ambitions."

Jiang Mian'er's origin is not a secret. Officials were implicated, her parents died in prison, and she joined the Jiaofang Department. She was beautiful, intelligent, and outstanding in singing and dancing. She soon distinguished herself at the palace banquet, and was favored by the late emperor. , jumped onto the branch.

Of course she was not an empty person. He was the only one who couldn't pick up the conversation with her at that time. She had never stumbled. She actually studied with Zhuang Feizi and was regarded as a smart person by Zhuang Feizi. , no wonder. Zhou Jingyun lowered his eyes: "In other words, Mr. Zhuang has long been a descendant of Empress Chiang Kai-shek."

"It's not like she belongs to her. She never asked us to do anything for her. She just became a queen. Thinking of the lessons she didn't finish when she was young, she exchanged letters and asked Fei Zi for advice. Fei Zi also regarded her as a disciple." Mrs. Zhuang He said softly, looking at Zhou Jingyun, "As if You are like this. Apart from that, we have no other interactions. She was her queen, and he taught him books. But then I suddenly heard that she was gone. I felt really sad, so he and I traveled around. To relax, I happened to meet Ah Li.”

Zhou Jingyun raised his head and looked at her: "So you got interested immediately?"

Mrs. Zhuang looked helpless: "No, really not. Feizi and I really liked her at that time. I never expected to see such a natural treasure in the world. I also knew that the world didn't know about her and people around her would be afraid of her, so I wanted to bring her with me." Leave her alone and educate her well, lest your pearls become dusty.”

Sighing at this point.

"Until three years later, Shen Qing came. We had never interacted with him, and we didn't know this person. When he came, he said that it was the empress who told him to come to us..."

After saying such strange words, Zhuang Feizi believed it.

And something happened to the Bai family, and Zhuang Li walked in a dream, lost in his mind, so...

Here's what happened next.

Zhou Jingyun was silent for a moment: "I understand, I was really overjoyed when I saw the treasure at first, and then I really made the decision to let go after careful consideration."

Mrs. Zhuang opened her mouth and sighed: "We can't help her."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"Is she okay now?" Mrs. Zhuang asked in a low voice, "I heard on the road that the young lady of Dongyang Hou Shizi passed away."

Saying this, he smiled again.

"Her temper is very fierce. She will never sit still and wait for death. She must have escaped."

Zhou Jingyun said coldly: "If possible, no one in this world would be willing to be so temperamental."

Yes, who doesn't want to be gentle, quiet, and safe, but she was forced to have no choice, Mrs. Zhuang's expression darkened and she stopped talking.

"She is fine now." Zhou Jingyun said, "So I'd better keep you in front of me so that I can rest assured and avoid affecting her."

Mrs. Zhuang looked at him: "The prince thinks so thoughtfully. It was A Li's misfortune to meet us, but it was her luck to meet the prince. Thank you for not abandoning her like we did."

Zhou Jingyun did not continue the words and stood up: "Madam, please rest early." After that, he walked out.

Walking to the street, Mu Gu has reached the last moment.

"Your Majesty, this place is close to the other courtyard, why not rest in the other courtyard." Feng'er suggested.

If you are caught on the way, you will have to spend a lot of money.

Zhou Jingyun raised his whip and urged his horse: "No, go home."

Feng'er had no choice but to rush the horse. The prince really didn't have a young lady at home anymore, but he was always in a hurry to go home after dark.

It was empty and all alone when I got home.

Zhou Jingyun heard Feng'er muttering beside him and ignored him. What does a child know? Although Zhuang Li is gone, she was once there. There are traces of her home everywhere. How can it be called empty and lonely?

…

…

The night is dark, and the boats in the Jinshui River are noisier than before.

But Bai Li did not stay in the hall. As mentioned before, all the rules remained as usual. Just call her when you encounter trouble.

But at this moment, given Shangguan Yue's new identity, no one dares to cause trouble here.

Accompanied by the noise coming and going, Baili fell into a deep sleep in the darkness until someone pushed him on his shoulder.

"White fence, white fence."

A female voice whispered in my ear.

"Wake up, it's time to watch the fun."

Watching the fun?

What excitement?

Bai Li opened her eyes suddenly and saw the bright night. She was not on the boat, but sitting on the white jade railing, her feet dangling in the air, her dress fluttering gently.

As the dress fluttered, a pair of white feet appeared next to it, swaying gently, and a ruby ​​chain on the ankle shone brightly.

She slowly turned her head to look to her side. The woman beside her raised her chin slightly, with a fair and slender neck.

"I used to like sitting here the most, overlooking the entire palace." She said, then turned her head and looked at the white fence. "Later, I jumped from here and fell to my death."
