White Hedge Dream

Chapter 242 Accompanying

Does it look good?

Huang Ru looked at the window. The young girl was smiling, her face was fair, and there was a layer of rosy floating on it, like

Her eyes fell on a lotus bud in a porcelain vase by the window.

The summer wind blows, and the lotus buds sway gently, and the white fence also sways gently.

"It's beautiful." Huang Ru looked at Bai Li, stretched out her hand to gently touch the lotus buds on the side, and then touched Bai Li's hand raised above her head, praising and saying, "The lotus flowers are so beautiful in bloom."

As he spoke, he pulled down one of Bai Li's hands.

It seems to be picking off a petal.

Bai Li wrinkled her nose, but it was inevitable that the flower would be broken by someone climbing on it. She continued to sway gently with the wind.

The next moment, Huang Ru pulled out a hairpin from her head with her other hand and stabbed it into her wrist.

Her strength was so great that it directly pierced the flesh, and blood spots instantly appeared on Baili's thin white skin.

"Flowers don't bleed." Huang Ru said, looking at Bai Li, "Bai Li, you are bleeding."

The smile on Bai Li's face froze for a moment, and the pain extended from her arm. She let out a cry of pain, and her eyes became focused.

Huang Ru looked into her eyes and called softly: "Ali."

Bai Li looked at her for a moment, lowered his gaze, put down the other hand raised above his head, and stretched out to the wrist held by Huang Ru.

She hummed.

Huang Ru sighed, but frowned: "Has your soul become unstable to this extent?"

In fact, she had long suspected that something was wrong with Bai Li. During this period of contact, although she seemed normal, as someone who had watched her grow up and personally taught her, she could detect the difference with the little Bai Li she was familiar with. .

But it can also explain that after all, he has experienced too many things, and was even hurt by his wife. After such a blow, people will always change.

Until today when I saw it with my own eyes, Bai Li didn't realize it and thought of herself as a lotus bud.

This was a situation that only occurred when she was a child and had no self-awareness.

When she grew up, especially after being taught by their couple, she wouldn't be like this at all.

Her spirit could no longer be controlled.

Looking at Huang Ru's expression, Bai Li took the initiative and said, "I was so happy just now, and my mood changed so much that I lost my mind."

Mr. Zhuang and his wife had taught her before that people like her should be pure in heart and have as few desires as possible, and stay quiet to the extreme in order to have a stable soul.

She had always followed this idea and accomplished it, until a sudden change in her family situation, coupled with her risky behavior, led to her falling into a coma, and there was no follow-up.

So what happened this time?

What did Zhou Jingyun say? Make her lose her mind?

"It has nothing to do with him." Bai Li interrupted Huang Ru's speculation and pulled up his sleeves, "This is not the first time."

Huang Ru saw a few spots on her arms, which seemed to have been pinched out, so...

"You reacted too quickly." Bai Li said, "If it had been a little later, I would have noticed it myself, and I would have pinched myself to wake myself up."

Will it? Huang Ru looked at the pinch marks on her arm and said, "When you first came to Beijing, I told you not to act in a dream..."

Bai Li nodded: "I remember, but..." She shook her head again, "That was my only way to save my life. If I didn't do that, I would have been gone."

She looked down at the freshly punctured blood on her wrist and smiled.

"Now I just lose my composure occasionally and wake up when I feel pain. It's already good."

Huang Ru frowned: "Ali, this is not a good thing. It shows that your body has been severely damaged..."

Bai Li smiled at her: "Then I can only ask Madam to pay more attention to me. When I don't notice, you can wake me up with a hairpin in time."

Huang Ru was about to say something, but Bai Li shook his head and interrupted her.

"The matter has come to this, I can't stop." She looked at Huang Ru, "I was able to come back from that danger because of my obsession. If I give up this idea, I won't be unstable, but The spirit disappeared immediately."

Huang Ru looked at her, swallowed back what she was about to say, and sighed: "Then you should rest for a while and come take care of your daughter."

Bai Li also sighed: "It's so tiring to take care of a child. Madam, can I lie still?"

Huang Ru couldn't help but smile, as if she saw Xiao Baili again bargaining with her over the assigned homework.

"No, it's better for you to work hard!" She said with a straight face, and called to the nanny from the other side of the room, "Bring my daughter over here."

…

…

When Zhou Jingyun came back, Bai Li rubbed his arms to greet him.

"Why are you back so late?"

"The child obviously looks small, but I feel so tired holding him."

"When I play with her, she always cries after a while."

"After crying, he still wanted to play with me."

Listening to her complaints, Zhou Jingyun took off his robe and said with a smile: "I will play with her in the evening."

Bai Li had already abandoned this matter and went to look through the spices bought by Zhou Jingyun.

"Is it enough?" Zhou Jingyun asked.

Bai Li nodded: "That's enough." After saying that, he laid out the incense-making tools in front of the desk, and Zhou Jingyun sat down on the Arhat bed next to him.

"Also, can you give me a dagger?" Bai Li thought of something and added.

"Is it used for cutting spices?" Zhou Jingyun asked, "How big should it be?"

Bai Li looked at him and smiled: "It's not the one who cuts the spices, it's the one who cuts myself."

Zhou Jingyun was stunned for a moment, sat up straight, looked at Bai Li and continued with a smile.

"Smaller, easier to carry around, sharper, that's all."

Zhou Jingyun asked: "Didn't the methods of shaking, pushing, and throwing into the water you mentioned before work?"

"It works." Bai Li said, "Just in case, make more preparations." She glanced at her wrist. In fact, she didn't tell the truth to Huang Ru. She pinched herself before she lost consciousness, and this time she did. She fell unconscious for the first time without realizing it, and didn't wake up until Huang Ru pricked her and caused bleeding.

It seemed that she had to prepare for this kind of situation in the future, lest she break the hairpin and **** it to no avail.

Zhou Jingyun looked at her for a moment, nodded and stood up: "I understand, I'll go look for her in the study."

Seeing him pick up his robe and walk out, Bai Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled, why didn't he ask if he was going to be in danger again?

Just do whatever you are told.

Zhou Jingyun stood outside the door and exhaled softly.

He knew that what she did next was dangerous, just like the previous times. When had she not been in danger?

Nothing to ask.

He would not stop her or persuade her.

No one wants to take risks, they must have no choice.

No matter what she does, he just stays with her.

…

…

On the fourth day after the Hualou boat sank, the boat was salvaged, the river became calm, and the pier returned to quiet.

Zhang Zhelima looked over and frowned: "Is this the case?"

The attendant next to him smiled: "Princess Jinyu doesn't care, so what can King Chu do? Jingzhao Mansion has directly convicted those so-called deserters of death, and the case is a foregone conclusion. King Chu went to Li Mansion yesterday afternoon."

Zhang Ze looked at him and asked, "What are you going to do?"

The attendant laughed: "Go and give gifts."

"Gift?" Zhang Ze didn't seem to believe it.

"No, no, the King of Chu said he was giving a gift to Princess Jinyu to express his apology for slandering General Li. In fact, the King of Chu also went to say harsh words." Another entourage said.

He also took out the booklet from his sleeve and flipped through it, which showed that he had got what King Chu said in Li Mansion.

"The King of Chu first directly pointed at Li Chengyuan and said that he knew he had done it, and asked him not to bully others too much. Then he said that if the granddaughter of the Li family wants to be worthy of him, Li Chengyuan had better show sincerity. Even if he does not admit guilt, he must at least plead guilty. His boat was in silence."

Zhang Ze laughed: "A child without a father is so pitiful."

"Li Chengyuan said the same thing." The attendant said, "In front of the King of Chu, he said that he can't speak without his father's guidance."

"The King of Chu left in shame." Another attendant said, "He ran back to cry with Princess Jinyu and said fiercely that after the Li family's granddaughter gets married, she will never be allowed to return to her natal family again."

The followers all around laughed.

Zhang Ze didn't smile, he was thoughtful.

"Zhongcheng, is there something wrong?" a follower asked.

Zhang Ze said: "Is this the case?"

This was the second time Zhang Ze asked this. The followers were a little puzzled: "This is the only way King Chu can do it."

King Chu can only do this, what about the others?

Could it be that the woman pretending to be Empress Chiang just let it go?

He was definitely not dead. He had been staring over there. At that time, the group of fake deserters rushed onto the ship, as well as the surrounding soldiers and horses. They all made some weird movements and froze in place. They did not kill them immediately. As a result, there were no casualties on the ship this time. not much…

This time it must be the woman's trick.

Could it be that he didn't know that he was targeting her and the little princess?

Or even if they knew, just treat it as a misunderstanding and let the King of Chu not pursue them?

Not even Li Chengyuan dared to deal with him...

Zhang Ze had a trace of disdain in his eyes and would only use false illusions to scare people. In this case, he would look for an opportunity to give her a ride in person!

"Let's go." He was not interested in asking anymore and urged his horse to go into the city.

As soon as I returned to the Board of Supervisors, an attendant came forward to report.

"Zhongcheng, Zhou Jingyun is looking for you."

Zhou Jingyun?

Zhang Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, looking for him?

…

…

In the spacious hall, Zhou Jingyun was sitting drinking tea. When he saw Zhang Ze coming in, he raised his tea cup and said, "The tea here in Zhongcheng is really good."

Zhang Ze nodded: "I have everything your Majesty has here, and I have what your Majesty doesn't have here. Your Majesty, please enjoy it."

Zhou Jingyun smiled, did not accept his arrogant words, and asked: "Have you heard about King Chu going to the Li family?"

Zhang Ze sat down opposite him and asked with a half-smile, "What? You heard that King Chu was humiliated, and you came to me to express your sorrow?"

Zhou Jingyun didn't seem to hear his teasing. He took a sip of tea and continued: "General Li is hosting a banquet tomorrow night."

Zhang Ze said: "Why?" Without waiting for Zhou Jingyun's answer, he immediately said, "Shouldn't you be celebrating the sinking and damage of King Chu's ship?" He nodded again, "Yes, Li Shilang had an accident on the ship. Now The ship finally sank, General Li should celebrate. "

After saying that, he laughed.

Zhou Jingyun did not answer and continued to say what he said: "I received the invitation."

Zhang Ze smiled again: "General Li is so sensible. He knows that you have a close relationship with the King of Chu, so he must invite you here."

Zhou Jingyun took out an invitation and put it on the table: "I also asked for one for Zhong Cheng."

Zhang Ze's smile stopped abruptly. He looked at the post pushed over by Zhou Jingyun, then raised his head: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Jingyun finally responded to his words this time and smiled lightly: "She said she wants you to go."

she?

Zhang Ze realized who she was instantly and looked down at the invitation that was pushed over.

What is she going to do?
