White Hedge Dream

Chapter 249 Skylight

It was bright daylight, and when he saw a carriage and horses parked outside the door, the concierge of Dongyang Marquis Mansion couldn't help but turn blue.

What happened yesterday is spreading in the city. Why is King Chu here again?

Fortunately, the King of Chu did not show up. Only a servant ran over, and there was no yelling or making a fuss.

"I would like to ask, Your Majesty, what happened yesterday." The servant only asked to tell him one sentence.

The concierge didn't understand what he was saying, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He hurriedly went in to deliver the message. Not long after, he came back and handed over a letter.

"The prince said that if it is not convenient to say it, I have written it down on paper." The concierge stammered and conveyed.

My heart went up and down, my God, what kind of shameful words were these?

On the slightly dim carriage, Li Yu opened the letter. There was only a piece of paper with a few words written hastily inside.

"She has woken up, but she is still very weak. I have kept her identity secret from my family. It is inconvenient for you to come in. When she gets better, I will take her to Prince Chu's Mansion."

Li Yu looked at these words with a calm expression, lowered his eyes and put the letter away.

Cai Songnian, who had been a little nervous and worried that Li Yu would rush over and go crazy, was stunned for a moment. His Highness is actually so calm?

"I guessed it." Li Yu said calmly, looking up at the gate of Dongyang Hou Mansion with faint eyes, "So I'm not surprised."

The fact that he was not allowed to see me yesterday proves that there is something wrong, so I will definitely find reasons to continue to deny him access.

Although his face was calm, the thin letter in his hand was slowly being clenched.

Cai Songnian looked at the torn letter and quickly changed the subject: "Your Highness, let's go to the Princess's Mansion."

Princess Jinyu wanted to get married to Li Chengyuan. Now that something happened to Li Chengyuan, Li Yu wanted to gloat or pretend to be disappointed to give the princess a reaction.

Li Yu hummed: "Let's go." Then he paused and said, "Let people keep an eye on Zhou Jingyun."

Cai Songnian breathed a sigh of relief. At least His Highness seemed normal on the surface. He hurriedly responded and urged the driver to drive away from the gate of Dongyang Houfu.

After hearing from Jiang Yun that Li Yu's carriage and horses had left, no one got out of the car, and no one made a fuss, Zhou Jingyun stood in the courtyard and did not breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't forget the way this young man looked at Bai Li every day. Yesterday he was crazy, but today he just walked away so obediently.

I don’t know what Li Yu misunderstood or what he was planning.

But no matter what, Li Yu cannot be allowed to see Baili who is not Baili at this moment.

Li Yu is the eldest grandson of the emperor. Everyone said that what happened to the prince was the work of Empress Chiang. For Li Yu, it was Empress Chiang who harmed his parents and brought him to his current situation. That was his sworn enemy.

Although Bai Li still looked like Bai Li before, he could recognize her as "Empress Chiang", Li Yu, and maybe Li Yu too.

If Li Yu discovers that Bai Li is Empress Chiang, he might do something detrimental to Bai Li.

Zhou Jingyun let out a breath, he couldn't take this risk.

"Zhou Jingyun."

There was a shout from behind.

Zhou Jingyun turned around and looked at the woman standing at the door. She had changed her clothes and was looking down at herself.

"The color is a bit too light," she said. "That's what young people are like, they don't wear bright colors."

Zhou Jingyun walked over: "What do you like? I'll let them do it."

She raised her head and said, "No, everything you wear is the same. I don't pick and choose." She smiled slightly and said, "Come, tell me about what happened to you outside these years."

Zhou Jingyun said: "My wife knows what I did before, and I also know that if you hadn't been behind me to protect me in those years, my work wouldn't have been so smooth."

Having said this, he raised his hand and bowed.

"I thought I couldn't thank you in person."

A haha ​​of laughter sounded in my ears.

"Zhou Jingyun, you have really changed a lot over the years." She said with a smile.

Zhou Jingyun did not answer her teasing words and continued: "Later, when you were no longer here, I started to do some things that you had decided on at that time, such as strictly inspecting the provincial examination and strictly observing the fifth grade evaluation."

She groaned: "Isn't that difficult? When I was here, I relied on severe punishments to implement it. When I'm gone, it's easy to leave."

Zhou Jingyun looked at her: "People in the world are not stupid. As long as they know that some things are right, good and beneficial, they will be willing to take the initiative to follow them. In this way, everyone will see the wisdom of the empress."

She looked at him and smiled slightly: "Is this what you want to do in the future?"

Zhou Jingyun nodded: "Yes."

"That's very well said." She nodded with a smile and raised her eyebrows, "But are you also telling me that there is someone who will succeed you? Let me die in peace and leave quickly. Don't occupy other people's bodies."

Zhou Jingyun suddenly smiled, neither admitting nor denying it, and said, "Your Majesty is a wise lady."

She laughed again.

The laughter stopped again.

"Go and call Zhang Zelai," she said. "I have something to ask him."

Zhou Jingyun's expression froze slightly: "If you have anything to say to me, I'll tell him."

"What? Are you afraid that he will find out who I am?" she asked, smiling again, "Let him meet me. I can't just know my sister and not be familiar with my sister."

After saying that, his face sank.

"Zhou Jingyun, I'm just telling you that whether you go or not will not affect my work."

If she wanted to walk out on her own, there was nothing he could do to stop her, not to mention that she had the ability to do it without walking out. Zhou Jingyun lowered his head and said yes.

"If you have any other delicious food in your house, bring it to me to try." She suddenly said again, looking at Zhou Jingyun, "You never entertained me before, but now I can eat and drink at your house. It can be seen that even after death, there is something." Benefits.”

Zhou Jingyun seemed a little dumbfounded: "We made contributions before, but you didn't look down on them." "You didn't pay attention to your previous contributions." She said, smiling slightly, "Now I give you a chance to pay attention."

Zhou Jingyun looked at her and nodded: "Okay."

Seeing the woman enter the room and Zhou Jingyun also went out, Mrs. Zhuang stood by the window of the wing and couldn't help but sigh softly.

The friendship between the prince and that man was also extraordinary.

Yes, the reason why Zhou Jingyun came and took the initiative to pick up A Li was for Empress Chiang. He couldn't bear Empress Chiang's bad reputation and wanted to save those who suffered from it.

Now, is it because of A Li that the prince treats this person like this? Or does he really want to do this?

After a long time, can he still distinguish who he is for? Do you want anyone to stay?

The children's laughter rang out in Hanliang Palace, and the emperor held the child and went inside.

"Your Majesty, don't spoil him all the time. Just let the nurses hold him and put him to sleep." Bai Ying warned, rubbing her arms again, "He is getting more and more difficult to take care of."

The emperor threw the child upwards, causing the child to giggle again.

"What's so difficult about it? Our Baolang is more obedient, but you just can't coax him and always make him cry." The emperor laughed and said, then looked at Bai Ying, "You don't have to come, lest he make trouble and keep him awake."

Bai Ying looked ashamed: "I have obviously taken care of the children since they were young, but I am not as good as your Majesty. How can I be so stupid and stupid?" As he said, he looked at the table beside him, where memorials were scattered, "I still want to delay your Majesty's political affairs."

Mentioning this, the emperor looked at the table.

"It's a political matter, it's ridiculous." He said, "Li Chengyuan hacked himself to death, and the Li family still has the nerve to pursue him."

Saying this, he gestured to Bai Ying.

"Reject them for me."

Bai Ying looked panicked and was about to kneel down: "I never dare to do this."

The emperor smiled: "What are you afraid of? Well, there are various previous examples over there. Just pick up a few nice words and write them down. It's not that important."

Bai Ying shook her head repeatedly: "It's not in accordance with the etiquette, so I can't be presumptuous." At this point, she hid her face and said, "Because of leaving His Majesty in Hanliang Hall, the princess has warned me many times."

The emperor frowned: "What did she warn you?" He snorted, "She also warned you that she seems to be smart, but in fact she is still confused. She actually wants to marry Li Chengyuan. Now it has become a joke."

Bai Ying lowered her head to hide the smile on her lips, but still refused.

The emperor didn't force it, knowing that because of Empress Chiang's previous incident, the courtiers were very taboo about the harem interfering in politics, and the concubines were also wary of fearing criticism.

But of course it was different. Empress Chiang had charmed the late emperor and was bent on gaining power. Bai Ying and him were a couple in need, sharing joys and sorrows.

Forget it, Aying has always been a timid little girl who is most afraid of being accused of being rude.

"Okay, then help me organize the desk, and I'll come back when the baby is put to sleep."

Bai Ying happily responded, holding her skirt and sitting in front of the desk, carefully arranging the scattered memorials.

The emperor went in with a smile and his child in his arms.

"Empress." Wang Degui slid over from the side, knelt down behind Bai Ying, and whispered, "Zhong Cheng said that he was personally present at the time. Li Chengyuan did indeed hack himself to death. He also checked in the past two days, and it was true that there was no Manipulation behind the scenes.”

Bai Ying sighed with regret: "It's too early to die. It would be better to die after marrying the King of Chu." After saying this, she looked at the memorial on the table. Of course she wouldn't touch it now, but she would definitely do so in the future. want

The prince has been born, and even though he won't get the status of queen, it's time to expand his manpower.

Li Chengyuan's death is also an opportunity.

Although Li Chengyuan, an old man, looks down on her, she doesn't dislike those crooked people in the Li family, and she can use them.

"Let Zhang Ze come see me." She sat up straight and said to Wang Degui.

Wang Degui responded and turned around in a hurry. After a while, the person came back.

"Empress." He said with a bit of anxiety, "Zhongcheng has something to do."

Bai Ying slapped a memorial on the table: "Where has he gone? It's really not easy for me to see him now."

Wang Degui hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Zhongcheng has ordered Deputy Ambassador Guo to wait for your orders. If your Majesty has anything to say to him, he will be waiting outside the palace."

Bai Ying knew that Deputy Ambassador Guo was brought by Zhang Ze from his hometown, and he relied heavily on his trust.

Forget it, Bai Ying whispered to Wang Degui. Wang Degui nodded repeatedly. Just as he was talking, a chamberlain came in.

"Your Majesty, the King of Chu wishes to see your Majesty."

Bai Ying's face sank and she signaled to Wang Degui: "Go see him and tell him that His Majesty is with the young prince and it is not convenient to see him for the time being. He will come back later."

Wang Degui responded yes and hurried out.

Bai Ying picked up the imperial pen and shook it gently in her hand. As expected, the King of Chu began to approach His Majesty. Don't even think about it.

"Empress." Wang Degui ran in quickly, with a strange expression on his face, "The King of Chu said he wanted to see you."

Bai Ying sneered: "It's useless to see me. I won't lead him to see your majesty. I'm not his aunt."

Wang Degui knelt down beside her and whispered: "The King of Chu said to ask about your sister Baili."

White fence?

Bai Ying was surprised and looked outside the hall. This name was mentioned again. She almost forgot it.

Moreover, this time it was not Zhou Jingyun, but King Chu.
