White Hedge Dream

Chapter 195 Facts

Probably because he had accepted the fact of Jiang Mian'er's existence, Bai Li didn't panic and frowned.

"Did I miss you again before going to bed?" she said, "so I let you come out and disturb my sleep?"

The woman next to her laughed and waved a finger at her: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll just bother you for a moment." She looked helpless again, "I can't help it, someone is calling me, and I'm so worried." The sincerity is great and the hatred is deep.”

Although the night was dim, the woman's expression was clear and vivid in his sight.

Bai Li looked at this face, which was completely different from what he saw in dreams and mirrors before.

No matter in the past or now, it was her thoughts that were alive. The more she knew about this person in her thoughts, the more vivid this person became.

Bai Li raised his eyebrows and laughed at himself, withdrew his gaze and looked around. At this moment, he was sitting at the highest point of a pavilion. The lights under his feet were as bright as the stars, making the pavilion look like a suspended heavenly palace.

The voices in my ears continued.

"My dream is not exaggerated."

"It looks like this at night in reality, just like a heavenly palace, so it's called Penglai Pavilion."

"This is what I proposed to the late emperor to build."

"I thought about it at that time. It would be nice to jump from here when I die."

Hearing these words, Bai Li looked at the person sitting next to him again. She had a smile on her lips and bright eyes.

"Sure enough, when I jumped, it was very beautiful."

Although according to his long-term experience, he should not talk to people he has imagined, but when Bai Li heard these words, he couldn't help but be curious: "Did you know from the beginning that you would not die well?"

How can anyone think about how to die when they allow the emperor to build a pavilion for themselves?

Hearing her question, the woman next to her laughed again: "Does that need to be said? What do I do? I want to take over the kingdom of Zhou Dynasty as a woman, concubine, and queen. This is unprecedented. It is the law of heaven. How can I have a happy ending if I don’t tolerate it?”

Bai Li retracted his gaze and looked at the space between heaven and earth in the imperial city, and curled his lips: "What kind of thing is this not allowed by heaven and earth? Heaven and earth don't care about this. The world, well, the world is busy living their own lives, so they won't care about this."

It's just the officials and dignitaries in this small world who care.

The people around her smiled again and looked at her: "Well said, you are better than me, you are more courageous."

"Perhaps you can say that I am a countryman who is ignorant and fearless." Bai Li said lightly: "I am not interested in thinking about this, nor in your past, nor in this imperial city. This dream is meaningless."

She said, holding up her hands and jumping down.

The next moment, the world turned upside down, and Bai Li stood on the ground, looking up at the bright stars above.

With a bang, someone fell beside him.

"Don't go, don't go, just for a while." She took Bai Li's arm, "I'm not interested in telling you about my past. I'm rambling as if I'm an old woman who can only recall the past. In fact, I'm not that old either. , I was twenty years old when I was favored by the late emperor, and I had just turned thirty when I died. Well, I remember, I was seven years older than Zhou Jingyun. "

When she said this, Bai Li looked at her.

The atmosphere seemed a little tense, so she smiled.

"I'm still nagging."

She waved her hand and walked forward.

"Follow me."

The lights flickered and the palaces overlapped. Bai Li felt dazzled, and the woman's voice was in his ears.

"Did you find a way to come to the palace before?"

"You don't have to go to so much trouble in the future. My mark is everywhere in this imperial city."

"Every plant and tree, the palace and pavilions, the palace ladies and chambermaids..."

Along with her voice, Bai Li felt her footsteps rushing. She lowered her head and saw a pair of feet wearing green boots.

This is a common outfit worn by the chamberlains in the palace.

"Hey, the Queen is crying again." The chamberlain muttered, "Quickly go over and have a look."

The person next to him yawned and reached out to hold him: "Don't go. Just cry. You will have to cry for a long time in the future."

The previous chamberlain was a little puzzled: "Didn't you say that Yang was not guilty, but Du was the one who bit her? Your Majesty went to see the queen today."

Then the emperor and empress would naturally recover as before.

After all, Your Majesty and the Queen are a married couple who share weal and woe.

The waiter curled his lips and said, "It's not getting better. Things are different now. It's been so long since the days of shared suffering. We talk about it every day. Too much talk is like wine mixed with water, making it dilute."

After that, he leaned against the pillar and found a suitable position to squat down and take shelter from the wind.

"I'd better take a nap."

He said and cursed again.

"These grandsons are bullying people. If it were in the past, it would not be my turn to do this kind of night watch."

"It's really a new generation replacing the old ones. It's their turn to show off their power. Back then, the empress was..."

The previous chamberlain hurriedly hissed: "Speak less, and don't talk nonsense, otherwise you will lose your life."

The waiter snorted, covered his head and face with his sleeves and stopped talking.

The former chamberlain looked at him and then at the palace in front of him. Shrouded in night, it was much dimmer than other palaces. There was a female voice whimpering, which sounded weird and not like a human voice.

The chamberlain shuddered, thought for a while and walked over there. No matter what, since he was on duty here, he couldn't ignore it. He walked slowly over. The lights were on in the hall, and the hanging curtains moved with the night breeze. It shook, revealing the figure behind it.

"Your Majesty?" The chambermaid stood at the door and called in a low voice.

The only response was cries.

"My wife, please rest early." The chamberlain advised in a low voice, "Don't hurt yourself..."

A curtain was suddenly opened, and the queen with disheveled hair rushed out: "What use do I have with this body! He just wants me to die! He just wants us all to die—"

The chamberlain was so frightened that she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty—"

The queen stood in front of him, her voice suddenly softened, and she cried: "Liu Lang, Liu Lang, how could you do this to me? I have liked Liu Lang the most since I was a child. Everyone advised me not to marry him, but I just like him. "

The chamberlain is an old member of the palace, and he still remembers many old things from the past. To be fair, although the Yang family is not a powerful person, it is still a very decent family. Although King Changyang was a prince at that time, his talents and temperament were mediocre, and he was indeed not a good person. match.

The chamberlain looked at the queen in front of her and remembered that she was a little girl walking in the palace, so beautiful and cute. The little prince Changyang hid behind the rockery and secretly looked at her, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Yuan, are you willing to play with me?"

In the blink of an eye, everything changes.

They are not the only ones who are different.

The chamberlain sighed and tried to persuade her again, but the queen had already put down her sleeves, raised her head suddenly and shouted, "It would be great if you were alive, Empress Chiang -"

The chamberlain was startled, and rushed to stop the queen: "Madam, be careful what you say." Wasn't Yang's conviction just because he was said to be a member of the Chiang Kai-shek Party?

How could the empress say such a thing?

The queen looked at him with red eyes: "Am I wrong? If Empress Chiang had not died, it would not have been his turn to be the emperor." After saying that, she pushed away the servant and rushed out of the hall, stretched out her hand to the night sky and shouted, "Empress , Empress Jiang, Jiang Mian’er—haven’t you become a ghost? Aren’t you still in the palace? Come out quickly—come back to life—”

The chamberlain was so frightened that his legs were weak. It was over, the queen was going crazy. He no longer cared about her dignity and he rushed over and pulled the queen into the palace: "My dear, please stop talking nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense." The queen shouted, hiding her face and crying, "I really want Empress Chiang to come back. I don't want to be the queen. I don't want Liu Lang to be the emperor. I want to go back to the palace-"

She cried and ran out again and shouted into the night sky.

"Jiang Mian'er, Jiang Mian'er, come out quickly, come back quickly—"

The chamberlain was so anxious that he called for someone, but the surrounding area was quiet, and everyone seemed to have disappeared. The chamberlain became cruel, stretched out his hand, tore off a piece of clothing and stuffed it into the queen's mouth.

Before he stuffed it in, the queen suddenly turned her head and looked at him.

"It would be great if I were really Empress Chiang's man, then I would have killed him earlier!"

The chamberlain stared, and the next moment he saw blood streaming from the queen's eyes, and then she stuck out her long tongue.

He screamed and fell backwards, sitting on the ground. The queen in front of him slowly rose up and hung in the palace. As the curtains hanging from the floor swayed, her long hair, long tongue, and red eyes—

The chamberlain rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

Bai Li suddenly fell out. This dream ended too hastily. She staggered before she could stand still. In front of her eyes was the empty hall and the queen hanging in the middle.

In fact, the queen who committed suicide was not as scary as the chambermaid's dream.

She wore a gorgeous queen's dress, a heavy crown, and applied makeup carefully, although she was indeed deformed due to hanging herself.

"Poor." A figure appeared again, stood beside her, looked at her, and said twice, "Yang Yuan is not up to expectations. Even if she wants to die, this white silk is wrapped around her on one end and Li Liulang on the other." chant."

Bai Li glanced at her: "You're no better than her. Didn't you also jump off the stairs to die?"

The figure next to her smiled and nodded: "You're right." She looked at the hanging queen again, "I may have other advantages, but I also have shortcomings. In the final analysis, everyone is the same. No one is better than anyone else.”

Bai Li frowned slightly: "Didn't you just say that I am better than you?"

The figure next to him suddenly laughed, and with the laughter, the figure flickered, and the white fence was instantly passed through by someone -

"Empress!"

A chamberlain ran in and shouted when he saw this scene. The next moment he rolled and crawled, crossed the white fence again, and rushed out.

"Someone come quickly—"

"His Majesty-"

"Quickly report to your Majesty—"

"The Queen hanged herself—"

Accompanied by this shout, the dark night was torn apart, lights were turned on one after another, and lights from the distance were swaying towards this side.

"Let's see the excitement here." said the figure beside him, "so as not to collide with this heir of the Li family, Xuanyangzi's old way of making trouble out of nothing."

Accompanied by this sound, Bai Li's body tilted and he suddenly fell forward, and he opened his eyes.

You can feel the gentle rocking of the building boat, the room is dimly lit, and the noise that seems far and near continues.

Bai Li slowly sat up and reached out to touch her face. It felt soft and delicate. She glanced at the dressing table beside her, and finally did not turn on the light to look in the mirror.

Look, it doesn’t matter anymore.

She stood up and walked out of the room, standing inside the railing. The night wind was so strong that it made people shiver instantly and made them more awake.

Bai Li crossed his arms and looked at the city in the distance.

The city in the misty blue light looked very quiet, but some places should have become lively.

…

…

Countless lights make the Queen's Hall brightly lit.

Countless people poured in and were kicked out. The guards stood by the door, and the chambermaid on duty had been dragged out.

When Bai Ying helped Wang Degui over, she was also stopped outside.

"Your Majesty will not let anyone get close to you at this time." The leader of the imperial guard said apologetically. Because of Concubine Bai's special status, they had just gone to inquire. "Your Majesty does not want the Queen's remains to be seen by others. It has not been repaired yet. Besides, Concubine Bai, you are heavy, so don’t be frightened.”

Bai Ying nodded, with tears streaming down her face: "I know, I won't disturb His Majesty and the Queen, but I will let Your Majesty stay with my sister... I will also stay here with my sister."

As he spoke, a chamberlain brought a chair behind him, and Wang Degui helped Bai Ying sit down.

The guards stopped driving them away and bowed before retreating.

Bai Ying sat on a chair and looked at the imperial palace in front of her. She could hear the emperor's heart-rending cry coming from the night.

"Why did you die so peacefully?" she asked in a low voice, "Did you really hang yourself?"

Wang Degui nodded at the side and whispered: "Yes, one of the chamberlains fainted on the spot when he saw it. When he woke up, everyone was frightened. He only shouted that the queen had hanged herself, and could not say anything else."

While he was talking, another chamberlain came over to him in the darkness.

"Your Majesty, the charcoal basin is here." He said, lowering his head and kneeling down to place the charcoal basin. As he got closer, he whispered, "The Queen left a suicide note."

Bai Ying asked: "What did you write?"

"I beg your Majesty to spare the Yang family." The chamberlain whispered, "She said she acted alone as queen and behaved inappropriately. She is willing to die to apologize. I just ask not to implicate the family. Please spare their lives."

Unexpectedly... Bai Ying was a little startled. The emperor had told the queen before that she could retain her position as queen, but the Yang family's father and brother must be executed.

Unexpectedly, the queen actually risked her own life to beg the emperor to spare her family.

Bai Ying sneered and clenched her hands.

Isn’t it good to live by yourself? As long as she is alive and has the position of queen, she will always have the opportunity to turn over, and she will always bring glory to the family in the future.

If you die, your family will lose everything, so what's the point of keeping alive? It's really stupid.

Bai Ying raised her fingers and wiped away the tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

Not worth it.
