White Hedge Dream

Chapter 240 No Complaint

The maid standing in the courtyard couldn't help but feel a little confused when she saw King Chu apologizing to Zhou Jingyun.

It was not convenient for the palace maid to go out, and she did not see what happened in Lou Chuan. The chamberlain next to her explained in a low voice: "The prince was going to Lou Chuan at that time and was almost killed."

He said with a joking look on his face.

"The prince went to Lou Chuan because of His Highness, so His Highness will naturally apologize."

The palace maid was stunned and saw Li Yu leading Zhou Jingyun towards the hall. The two of them quickly followed up with a wink, but as soon as they caught up, Li Yu turned around to stop them.

"I'm talking to the Crown Prince, I don't need to wait on you."

The palace maid hesitated for a moment, how could she monitor her if she wasn't allowed to serve her? How to answer when the king's chamberlain in the palace asks.

The chambermaid next to him had already responded quickly and tugged on the palace maid's sleeves. The palace maid had no choice but to respond and watched as King Zhou Jingyun of Chu and the maid brought by Zhou Jingyun walked in.

Why did this maid follow you? Don’t you understand what King Chu said?

Why didn’t Prince Zhou stop?

"Don't look at it," said the chamberlain next to him.

The palace maid still muttered: "Why did Prince Zhou's maid get in?"

"The maids of Prince Zhou are naturally different." The chamberlain laughed and lowered his voice, "Are you afraid that you won't be able to explain to your superiors?"

Although they are all assigned from the palace and can be regarded as a family, when she was suddenly asked this question, the palace maid's eyes dodged: "What are you talking about, little brother? Our superior is His Highness the King of Chu."

The chamberlain smiled and raised his eyebrows with a hint of defiance: "I belong to the princess."

The palace maid forced out a smile, not knowing what to say.

The chamberlain didn't ask her any further questions, and looked like he didn't care. He told her: "If asked by the superiors, just tell her that His Highness lives with the Crown Prince, and no one is allowed to be in front of him. Anyway, everyone knows that the Crown Prince has an unusual relationship with the King of Chu." With a bit of disdain, "Even if there is a conspiracy, what can be accomplished by the conspiracy!"

The King of Chu only had the title of His Highness for nothing. His buildings and ships could be scuttled, and he had to kneel down when entering the princess's mansion.

A little loach!

The chamberlain yawned: "Since I don't have to wait here, I'm going to catch up on my sleep."

…

…

"There are no outsiders."

Cai Songnian looked outside from the window and saw all the maids and maids walking away outside the hall.

"Your Highness, please speak. Our people are standing guard all around."

Li Yu nodded and watched Cai Songnian retreat.

"I found out that this time their targets are you and Nannan." He said to Bai Li.

Zhou Jingyun frowned: "Are you targeting the little princess?"

Li Yu shook his head and laughed at himself: "It's aimed at me, because I regard Ali and Nannan as my women and children."

Zhou Jingyun understood that because he was going to kiss Li Yuyi, he was not allowed to have other women around him, let alone children.

"Is it the princess or Li Chengyuan?" he asked.

Li Yu said in a hateful voice: "Li Chengyuan." At this point, he stood up and bowed to Bai Li, "This is also my fault. It's my fault."

Bai Li smiled and said: "How can I blame you? You are also a victim."

Zhou Jingyun also said from the side: "Your Highness, there is no need to criticize yourself."

Li Yu glanced at Zhou Jingyun and clenched the hand hanging by his side.

He doesn't need his generosity and mercy.

"No, this trouble was indeed caused by me." He looked at Bai Li, "I even guided and expected it. I knew there were rumors, but I deliberately held my daughter to let others see it, hoping that the Li family would see it. I have a beloved concubine and a son, which makes them feel humiliated and retreat when they are faced with difficulties. As a result..."

As a result, he didn't think about who Li Chengyuan was, and he didn't consider that if Li Chengyuan was humiliated and faced with a King of Chu who was attached to a princess and a doting concubine, he would not retreat but would only brutally kill people.

He looked at Bai Li and showed her his despicable heart.

"Ah Li, I have despicable intentions and am using you and Nannan to put you in danger!"

…

…

There was silence in the room.

Zhou Jingyun, who was sitting on the chair, frowned slightly, sighed inwardly, and looked at Bai Li.

Bai Li didn't look shocked, let alone angry. He didn't even frown, just astonished.

"I see." She said, looking at Li Yu, "I don't blame you. It was my own decision to go to your building, and it was me who let the child go. There are pros and cons. Since I chose the pros, I will naturally have to bear the cons. the dangers it brings.”

She looked at him without contempt or disgust, her eyes were as clear as water as always. Li Yu's nose was slightly sore and he felt that there were countless words stuck in his throat. He could only squeeze out one sentence hoarsely: "It's my bad heart..."

Bai Li stood up and walked to him: "If you say that, I also have a bad heart towards you."

Li Yu was stunned for a moment.

Bai Li smiled: "I came to you, don't I have some agenda? I am also using your identity to do things."

Speaking of this, I feel a little sad.

"If this were not the case, that person would not be used by me. I may be spared today, but my daughter will..."

She used her identity as Prince Li Yu to make Shen Qing have hope for her, and he obeyed her orders, so that she came to take care of her daughter on the boat.

Only then did I save my daughter in this danger.

"From the moment I boarded the boat and followed you, I knew there would be rumors. Given your status, I also knew that I would encounter danger. This is my choice. I have enjoyed having no worries about food and clothing with you. How could I I blame you for the danger?"

Before she finished speaking, Li Yu reached out and hugged her, regardless of Zhou Jingyun's presence.

"Thank you for not blaming me," he choked. Zhou Jingyun sat upright in the chair, hesitated for a moment, lowered his eyes, and listened to Bai Li's voice.

"No wonder, no wonder."

"But next time something like this happens, you have to tell me in advance."

"I can help you analyze the pros and cons and prepare a response in advance, so you won't be caught off guard like this time."

Listening to Bai Li's words, Li Yu nodded heavily: "Okay, I'll remember it." After saying that, he felt something was wrong and shook his head hurriedly, "No, no, there will be no next time. I will never let you be in danger again."

Bai Li smiled and patted him on the back: "Danger is not something we can avoid just because we are told to avoid it. Well, we are the victims. Stop scolding yourself and scold the evildoer who did it!"

Li Yu was amused, and felt sour and sweet in his heart. How could there be such a good person in the world, and such a good person in his arms...

He reluctantly let go.

"Although I know it was Li Chengyuan who did it, there is no evidence." He said, laughing at himself, "Li Chengyuan also greeted Princess Jinyu. When I went to tell the princess, she covered up for Li Chengyuan and scolded me for talking nonsense."

Bai Li nodded: "She needs Li Chengyuan, so of course she has to protect her."

Li Yu sat down on a chair nearby and laughed at himself: "I originally had nothing, but now even my building and boat have been taken away. I know that others are harming me and trampling on me, but I have no power to fight back. If I had known this, I might as well have The concubine who has always been Shangguan's consort can at least go to the Li family to cause trouble. "

Speaking of which, my heart felt even more sour.

In fact, not only was the building gone, but after his identity was restored, he and Shangguan's consort were no longer as close as before.

Zhou Jingyun looked at the young man with a smile on his face. In fact, underneath the smile, he still had the same confused and uneasy face that he saw outside the princess's house.

He said softly: "Your Highness, you have nothing, but you have survived for so many years. You are still here, and everything is possible."

Li Yu looked at him and nodded with a smile: "I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty." After that, he looked at Bai Li again and asked, "Is my daughter okay? She's not frightened, right?" He sighed again, "It's only been a few months since she was born. Being in danger is more pitiable than me.”

Bai Li said with a smile: "What a pity! It doesn't matter for her, you or me. We have suffered so many dangers, but we are still alive. This is a great joy!"

Li Yu smiled and beamed: "Since it is a great event, we should celebrate it. I have chiseled the building, and I will entertain everyone in the palace! Ah Li, come back with Nannan and see if Li Chengyuan dares to come to Chu." Murder in the palace!”

Zhou Jingyun was about to say something, then stopped and looked at Bai Li.

Bai Li nodded: "I want to celebrate, but I can't give Li Chengyuan another chance to kill."

Li Yu looked at her and sat up straight: "Ali, what should I do?"

Bai Li smiled: "You have to warn General Li not to bully others too much. After all, isn't his granddaughter going to marry you?"

Li Yu stood up and nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away!"

He looked like he was going out immediately.

Bai Li smiled and pulled him: "Wait a minute, you can't go empty-handed, help me bring a gift in."

Li Yu asked: "What?"

"When I get home and finish it, I'll ask the prince to deliver it to you." Bai Li said, "The day after tomorrow at the latest."

go home.

Hearing these two words, Zhou Jingyun raised his hand and touched his nose. The corners of his mouth raised slightly. He quickly came back to his senses. This was not the time to smile. He hurriedly lowered the corners of his mouth and turned sideways to pick up the tea.

Li Yu also looked at him at the same time, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled: "Then it will be troublesome for the crown prince."

Zhou Jingyun said: "Your Highness, you're welcome." He glanced at Bai Li and said, "I should do it."

Why should it be done? If someone outside heard this, it would be time to gossip again. Bai Li laughed beside him.

Seeing the smile on Bai Li's face, Zhou Jingyun knew what she was thinking and glanced at her.

"Is the matter finished?" he asked.

Bai Li smiled and nodded.

When Li Yu wanted to say something, Zhou Jingyun put down his teacup and stood up.

"For the sake of His Highness's reputation, I will stay here soon," he said.

Bai Li nodded: "Then let's go first."

Li Yu swallowed back what he was about to say, and nodded to Bai Li with a smile: "Okay."

…

…

Li Yu personally sent Zhou Jingyun out of the gate, and watched Bai Li get into the car amidst the cheers of the dandy boys.

The car disappeared from sight.

He pursed his lips and lowered the corners of his mouth.

Why are you done talking about it?

He and she haven't said a word yet.

However, after hearing him tell her the whole story, she didn't feel resentful towards him.

He didn't lose her!

That's good, that's good.

The corners of Li Yu's mouth raised, and his eyes sparkled with smiles.

Seeing him feel sad and resentful, and then laugh heartily, Xue Silang next to him swallowed hard.

He didn't read many books, but he stayed in a brothel and listened to a lot of lyrics and singing. At this moment, for no reason, he could hear a woman singing in his ears.

"I'm afraid of lovesickness. I already miss lovesickness. When it's my turn to miss lovesickness, I have no words to say. There is only a hint of love between my eyebrows." (Note)

It's...terrible!
