White Hedge Dream

Chapter 246 Nightmare

The morning light crept into the room through the window. Just as he tentatively touched the bed curtain, the bed curtain was suddenly opened and someone fell down.

"No, no."

He let out a rapid, garbled cry.

Cai Songnian, who was standing by, immediately rushed over and said, "Master, Master."

He held Li Yu down and looked at the young man in front of him, whose face was pale and sweaty. His eyes were already open, but they were full of fear.

"Sir, are you having a nightmare?"

"Sir, wake up, wake up, it's okay."

Perhaps because of his comfort, Li Yu stopped shouting and sat down against the bed, breathing rapidly and changing his expression.

Cai Songnian looked at him uneasily and asked, "Your Highness, what happened last night? Why did you go to the imperial city?"

Li Yu sneaked out quietly last night. When he found out, he went to look for him. He originally thought he was going to Li's house, but he didn't expect that the imperial guards sent him back.

"His Royal Highness King Chu wants to enter the palace, but the palace door is closed. Please come back tomorrow."

Why did His Highness run away to the imperial city?

Hearing his question, Li Yu's shoulders and back tensed up again. He wanted to go to the palace to see if there were two moons above his head, and whether he was actually still standing on the stone tower outside Linde Hall. Now It's not now, it's still the banquet at the Imperial City Palace that night.

His mind was confused and he didn't know what he was doing. This didn't work and he felt like he was going crazy.

He stretched out his hand and clenched it tightly, his nails digging into his palms, the stinging pain keeping him awake.

He said slowly: "It's okay. In the imperial city, you can avoid being suspected."

Cai Songnian breathed a sigh of relief. Although he looked shocked, His Highness's thinking was still clear.

"Your Highness did the right thing," he said hurriedly, "Although Li Chengyuan hacked himself to death, after all, Your Highness just had a conflict with him, so as not to be framed by someone with ulterior motives."

When he said this, his expression couldn't help but change.

I really didn't expect that Li Chengyuan actually died. He hacked himself to death in front of everyone. It was like a dream.

"Tell me the details about what happened to the Li family last night." Li Yu said slowly.

Cai Songnian responded, in fact, he had discovered it last night. After all, Li Chengyuan held the banquet with great fanfare, without hiding anything from anyone, and everyone could see the process.

But when it came to talking last night, Li Yu stopped him after hearing that Li Chengyuan was dead, saying that he was tired and needed to rest first.

At that time, seeing Li Yu in despair and looking extremely ugly, Cai Songnian didn't say much.

".Zhou Jingyun and Zhang Ze are both gone."

"Li Chengyuan suddenly said that he wanted to show off his sword. He was not encouraged by others. He was so proud that he wanted to show off."

"I didn't drink too much. The maid next to me said I only had two drinks."

"When Li Chengyuan danced the sword, he was calm and powerful every step of the way."

"The accident happened suddenly. When I threw the knife, I didn't catch it."

"Maybe it's because of his age."

Cai Songnian took the book again and read what Li Chengyuan and the guests said before and after the accident. When he heard Zhou Jingyun's two words of ridicule, the quiet Li Yu raised his head.

"Eat a feast." He repeated softly.

Cai Songnian nodded: "The Crown Prince Zhou was indeed rude to Li Chengyuan at that time, and when he saw that Li Chengyuan was dead, he took a sip of wine indifferently."

Of course, Cai Songnian didn't mention those nonsense rumors. He said whatever came to mind.

"Also, some guests who were watching from the front said that they heard Li Chengyuan shouting "Empress Chiang" while dancing with his sword."

Li Yu looked at him sharply.

Cai Songnian froze inexplicably when he was looked at, and the young master's eyes were a little scary.

"Maybe Li Chengyuan thought about killing Empress Chiang to show his bravery." He added.

This is not surprising. This is something Li Chengyuan is proud of and often talks about it.

Li Yu said nothing and stared at him, his eyes seemed deep and scattered.

"Master?" Cai Songnian couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong?"

Li Yu said slowly: "You go down first, I want to be alone for a while."

Cai Songnian hesitated and stood up in response. When he walked to the door, he looked back and saw Li Yu still sitting on the ground with his head lowered.

Sir, what's going on? It's a good thing that Li Chengyuan is dead.

Without Li Chengyuan, Princess Jinyu will not marry the Li family, and the young master will not be forced to marry the granddaughter of the Li family.

The crisis has been resolved like this, the young master should be happy.

But why did the young master look so sad, like a broken leaf hanging on a branch, desolate and fragile.

"Sir, please sleep a little longer." Cai Songnian said softly, "I'm just outside. If you need anything, just call me."

Li Yu hummed without looking up, and listened as Cai Songnian walked out quietly and closed the door.

In fact, he hadn't slept since he came back last night. He couldn't fall asleep, and he didn't dare to fall asleep. He didn't even know whether he was awake or dreaming now.

Are you dreaming?

Otherwise, how could he see Empress Chiang?

However, I had met Empress Chiang before

That time was on the street during the Lantern Festival. He looked up from the crowd and saw Zhou Jingyun sitting at the window with a woman. The woman had the face of Empress Chiang Kai-shek.

At that time.

Li Yu couldn't help but put his hands on his head. His memory was blurred. Ah Li told him not to remember those strange things to avoid going crazy.

But now he's going crazy, he has to remember the strange things that happened, he has to figure out what's going on.

At that time, he thought that A Li was a ghost possessing Madam Dongyang Hou. Then, Empress Chiang was also a ghost and wanted to possess Madam Dongyang, so Empress Chiang grabbed the body of Madam Dongyang Hou. He rushed over and pushed Young Marquis Dongyang down. Madam, drive Empress Chiang away, and Ah Li will come back.

Later, Ali explained to him that she was in danger and thanked him for his help in relieving the danger.

Then, Li Yu thought hard, he saw two moons in the palace, and then Mrs. Dongyang Hou fell to death, and then he took back the lotus root, and the lotus root turned into Ali.

After that, A Li was always by his side.

Li Yu slowly released his hand holding his head and raised his head, his eyes red. That time, was the A Li he brought back really A Li?

Otherwise, why did he see Empress Chiang Kai-shek again when two more moons appeared?

Not only did he see it, he heard it.

She said, I, Jiang Mian'er, beheaded Li Chengyuan today.

Cai Songnian stood outside the door, pricking his ears to listen inside. There was no sound inside, as if the young master had not even breathed.

He couldn't help frowning and asked a doctor to take a look. If he wasn't feeling well, he would go to the doctor. If he was fine, he would pretend to be sick to avoid the noise of Li Chengyuan's death.

Just as the thought flashed through his mind, the sound of footsteps suddenly came, and the next moment the door banged open and Li Yu rushed out.

"Your Highness!" Cai Songnian shouted hurriedly, "Where are you going?"

"Dongyang Houfu!"

Cai Songnian watched the young man disappear from sight in a few steps. He seemed to be in good health, but he was crazy and ignored him. As soon as Li Chengyuan died and the marriage fell through, he immediately went to Dongyang Houfu. One can imagine the rumors from the outside world. It will be even worse!

Cai Songnian stomped after him.

Seeing King Chu's carriage and horses, the concierge of Dongyang Hou Mansion also looked very unhappy, but he still invited Li Yu in and sent him directly to the prince's study.

"The prince has given orders." The porter stumbled and said, "Your Highness can just come in directly."

Li Yu just walked into the study, and there were footsteps outside. Zhou Jingyun appeared at the door, raised his hand and saluted: "Your Highness is here."

Li Yu looked over Zhou Jingyun and looked behind him.

The servants behind him were all retreating, and there was no one in front of the door.

There was no sign of a woman.

Zhou Jingyun closed the door, interrupting Li Yu's sight.

"Your Highness is here to ask about what happened last night, right?" He said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, everything has been taken care of and we won't have anything to do with you."

Does he care about involvement when he comes here? Li Yu looked at Zhou Jingyun and asked directly: "Did A Li do what happened last night?"

Zhou Jingyun nodded: "Yes."

"How did she do it?" Li Yu blurted out.

Zhou Jingyun glanced at him: "I don't know, that's her secret skill, but it should be the same as the plan to let you avoid Princess Jinyu, Your Highness."

Why didn't you ask her how she did it then? Li Yu understood the meaning of his words, and now asked, what does it mean?

In fact, I don't have much dealings with Prince Zhou, but yes, Zhou Jingyun is indeed a rude person.

Especially when it comes to A Li, he seems gentle, but in fact he is wary and guarded.

Yes, at that time, he never thought of asking her how she did it. At that time, he was completely satisfied with Ah Li, his Ah Li. As long as it was his Ah Li, he didn't care what she did or how she did it. Li Yu He lowered his eyes slightly: "I mean, is she injured?"

"I don't know yet." Zhou Jingyun said.

Don’t know yet? What does it mean? Li Yu raised his head, not wanting to talk to Zhou Jingyun anymore, and said directly: "I'm going to see her."

Moreover, Zhou Jingyun didn't tell her, was he coming?

If she knew he was coming, why didn't she come to see him?

In the past, whenever he came, it was she who came to see him.

A trace of sadness flashed in Zhou Jingyun's eyes: "She is still sleeping."

lethargy?

Li Yu was shocked: "How could she?" Then he was overjoyed again, "I know, I know—"

Just like that Lantern Festival, when he saw Madam Hou of Dongyang turned into Empress Chiang, her body was robbed by Empress Chiang's ghost!

Therefore, Ah Li couldn't come back and fell into a coma.

Yes, yes, it must be like this, and it will be like this again this time!

"Take me to her, I can save her!"

But Zhou Jingyun rejected him.

"Your Highness, it's not possible yet." He said, "Mrs. Zhuang is giving her medicine and cannot be disturbed."

Mrs. Zhuang?

Li Yu sneered: "She has harmed A Li before. A Li doesn't believe her at all, and I don't believe her words either." After saying that, he turned around and walked out, "I want to see her, only I can save her!"

Zhou Jingyun reached out and grabbed him: "Li Yu! Mrs. Zhuang said that the more people close to her, the more likely she will become confused. Just wait a moment!"

Li Yu threw him away with his backhand and shouted angrily: "Wait? What are you waiting for? Zhou Jingyun, I don't believe Mrs. Zhuang, nor do I believe your words. I must see her!"

After that, he walked out again.

This time Zhou Jingyun didn't catch him, he just shouted "Jiang Yun."

Li Yu felt his eyes blur as someone rushed towards him. He took a wrong step to avoid it, but was still a step too late. He was hugged by someone and turned over at the same time. He was dizzy and pushed to the ground.

"Zhou Jingyun!" He roared, "How dare you!"

Zhou Jingyun looked at him: "I won't let you in at this time. Just wait. As long as tonight is over, whether she wakes up or not, I will invite you."

He bowed and bowed.

"Your Highness, please forgive me."

After saying that, he stood up and looked at Li Yu who was being held down by Jiang Yun.

Li Yu's fair face turned red, and his eyes were full of anger.

"I believe that even if I am rude, Your Highness will not talk nonsense, do things that she shouldn't do, and expose her to others." Zhou Jingyun said softly, and then motioned to Jiang Yun, "Send Your Highness out."

Under the shock of the gatekeeper of Dongyang Hou Mansion and the disbelieving gaze of Cai Songnian, Li Yu was thrown out by Jiang Yun.

Li Yu pushed away Cai Songnian who was supporting him, looked at the closed door, and punched it with both fists.

"Zhou Jingyun——"

Zhou Jingyun!

Give me back the white fence!

Give it back to me!
