White Hedge Dream

Chapter 250 Opportunity

Li Yu walked into Hanliang Hall.

Although he became a child of the royal family, the emperor was not close to him. Only by following Princess Jinyu could he come to see the emperor.

And apart from palace banquets, this opportunity is rarely available.

Several chamberlains stood in the hall, looking at him unscrupulously.

Concubine Bai was sitting in front of the dragon table in a gorgeous dress, with a lazy posture, opening and closing a memorial in her hand, over and over again, as if she was thinking about it, and she didn't seem to notice Li Yu walking in, and didn't look at it. Pay attention.

"I've met your empress." Li Yu bowed and saluted.

Bai Ying seemed to have seen him just then, but she did not put down the memorial in her hand: "Your Highness came to see His Majesty to talk about my younger sister? You don't need to remind me that I am still a guilty concubine, and Your Majesty also knows it."

Li Yu saluted again: "In my eyes, the empress is not a sinful concubine, but a hero of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Bai Ying sighed and looked at him. This young man was extremely beautiful.

"Your Highness not only looks beautiful, but also speaks beautifully. No wonder he can win the favor of the princess." She said, "But now you are praising me to make me happy. The princess will be angry if she knows about it."

"It doesn't matter, I have a lot of bad things to say about the queen to make the princess happy, for example." Li Yu said, looking up at Bai Ying, "Your sister is the young lady of the Marquis of Dongyang. You didn't report it and colluded with Zhou Jingyun to hide it."

Hearing this, Bai Ying still smiled and said with a joking expression: "It seems that Zhou Shizi and His Highness really have a deep love for each other. He even told you such a private matter that made the Hou family guilty. He really wants to be with you. Let’s live and die together.”

With a somewhat disdainful expression, he slapped the memorial on the table.

"You already know that I am a hero, so don't threaten me with these insignificant things. If you become the King of Chu now, you will be the King of Chu for the rest of your life. Haven't you learned enough from your father's lessons back then?"

"I'm not threatening the empress." Li Yu said, kneeling down in front of Bai Ying, "I just want to ask the empress for help. I want to know what is so strange about your sister that makes Zhou Jingyun take such good care of her. Why would she rather die?" forget."

Bai Ying couldn't help but stare. What do you mean, is this King Chu really serious? He snatched a man from a woman in front of her?

This kind of royal child is useless.

No, maybe he was pretending to be like this on purpose to make people relax their vigilance.

"My sister has her own merits." Bai Ying looked at him and said with a half-smile, "But why should I help you?"

He shook his head as he spoke.

"No, I should help you, but I want to help you avoid doing ridiculous things. I want to tell your majesty to lock you up and discipline you well so as not to disgrace the reputation of the royal family."

Her eyes flickered as she spoke, showing that she was really tempted to do this.

This was delivered to his door by himself.

Maybe Li Chengyuan's death could be framed on him. After all, Princess Jinyu wanted to marry Li Chengyuan. Of course, this Li Yu could go crazy for love and kill Li Chengyuan. In this case, even if His Majesty cares about family ties and doesn't kill him, let him stay with him for the rest of his life. The imperial mausoleum is not an exaggeration.

Yes, that's right, such a good time, Bai Ying frowned slightly again, why didn't Zhang Ze expect to tell His Majesty that Li Chengyuan's death was ridiculous so quickly?

Recently, Zhang Ze has been getting more and more unlucky in doing things. Does he think that since she has a prince, her position in the future will be stable, so she will slack off?

This is not possible. The knife will become dull if it is not used. This is the perfect time to sharpen the knife with this royal child.

She was distracted when she heard Li Yu's voice again.

"I asked your Majesty for help, and of course I will help you."

Bai Ying smiled and looked at him: "I don't need His Highness to have fun at my knees."

Li Yu also smiled: "Then Madam, you may need me to help you keep an eye on other people. For example, Zhang Ze went to meet Zhou Jingyun."

The smile on Bai Ying's face paused for a moment, but then returned to its original state: "Your Highness is too petty. The Crown Prince is a court official. Of course he has to interact with court officials. He can't just hang around you."

"If you ask Zhang Ze what he did when he met Zhou Jingyun." Li Yu ignored her words and continued, "Zhang Ze would definitely say to inquire about the case of Li Chengyuan's death, because Prince Zhou was also present that day, but in fact..."

He looked at Bai Ying, his dark eyes shining brightly.

"That's not what they're talking about."

Bai Ying blurted out and asked: "What is it?"

But the young man smiled: "I don't know."

Bai Ying looked at this bright face, took the memorial and put it on the table, sighing softly.

"My sister is not an ordinary person, she is" she looked at Li Yu, "a ghost by nature."

When the emperor came out, he saw that Bai Ying had arranged the table neatly and was wiping the table with her own hands, but covering her eyes from time to time.

The emperor asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"

Bai Ying said: "Don't look at anything inappropriate, for I am afraid of desecrating the memorial."

The emperor was amused and pulled her over: "There is no one else here, so don't be so cautious."

Bai Ying smiled and fell into his arms, but the next moment she turned behind the emperor and pushed him: "Your Majesty is tired of taking care of the child. Lin Meiren was born in Xinglin and knows how to massage and pinch bones. I have sent her here. Waiting in the side hall."

Beauty Lin, a pretty woman flashed before the emperor's eyes.

"A Ying, you are so considerate." He said with a smile, then thought of something and asked, "No one came before, I think I heard the conversation."

"No." Bai Ying said.

Wang Degui laughed beside him: "It's the servants who talked to the guards and asked them to help carry some tables and chairs."

None of the maids waiting in the palace made a sound.

The emperor didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, please go quickly." Bai Ying said, with a bit of shame, "because the emperor always troubles your Majesty."

The emperor smiled and said: "That is also my prince." After that, he followed the maids and maids to the side hall.

The hall became quiet, and the smile on Bai Ying's face also disappeared.

"Your Majesty," Wang Degui said cautiously, "The King of Chu hinted that Zhong Cheng has second thoughts about you, but he didn't tell him why, and he didn't know why Zhong Cheng went to see Zhou Jingyun."

Then he said that he could inquire on behalf of the empress.

Then the empress really told the King of Chu about her sister. "You, did you believe King Chu?"

"I don't believe it." Bai Ying said, smiling, "I don't believe him, but it doesn't mean I don't need him. He came to my door and let me use it, why should I refuse?"

What's more, the question about Baili is irrelevant. The King of Chu can use it however he wants. Her sister, the broom star, killed her mother and her entire clan. The more people know about it, the better. .

After saying this, his face darkened slightly.

"When Zhongcheng comes back, let him come to see me."

Although she didn't believe King Chu, King Chu did remind her, Zhang Ze, that she should be more vigilant.

"Your Highness."

Seeing Li Yu walking out of the imperial city, Cai Songnian hurriedly greeted him and asked.

"Has His Majesty seen you?"

After meeting Princess Jinyu, His Highness said that he would come to the Imperial City to see His Majesty.

"After all, on the night of Li Chengyuan's accident, I came to Royal Street to tell the guards that I wanted to see His Majesty. I couldn't just leave him alone, lest I arouse suspicion."

His Highness was thoughtful and thoughtful, so Cai Songnian followed him immediately.

Hearing Cai Songnian's question, Li Yu shook his head: "No, Concubine Bai stopped me."

Cai Songnian frowned, but he was not surprised. Concubine Bai used the prince's tricks to control the emperor. Now the courtiers would go to her Hanliang Palace to see the emperor. I heard that some courtiers had bribed Concubine Bai privately to get more opportunities to meet the emperor. .

For Concubine Bai, Li Yu, the former emperor's eldest grandson, was a big taboo, and she was very defensive.

"It's okay." Cai Songnian hurriedly reassured him, "It's okay for Your Highness to come over. It's not a wasted trip."

Li Yu hummed, said nothing, and got into the carriage with a calm expression.

Of course, the trip was not in vain. He came not to see the emperor, but to see Concubine Bai.

He couldn't tell what Bai Li was like, but Bai Li's sister must understand.

Sure enough, through Bai Ying's narration, the Bai Li he knew became clear again.

Bai Ying said that Bai Li is a broom star and a natural evil. Anyone who encounters her will be unlucky and crazy.

The girl's face appeared in front of his eyes. Very early on, he thought she was a ghost, and she could only see him occasionally.

She said: "I originally thought I was very unlucky, very bad, but everything in the world is interdependent, and I met you, young master."

Bai Ying said that she escaped punishment by relying on evil magic. Everyone in the family died, but she escaped alone.

The girl said: "It's better that you save me first, and then I can save you."

She called him her benefactor.

Bai Ying said that Bai Li also disliked his family and did not want to stay on the difficult border. He sold himself as a slave to a scholar, Zhuang Feizi, who taught. As a result, bad luck came to him and Zhuang Feizi also died. It was really harmful. .

He thought of her asking him to help keep an eye on Mrs. Zhuang.

When he asked if she had encountered something dangerous, she shed tears in front of him, with a sour face, but she said nothing or what suffering she had suffered, but when she asked him to help, she would remind him again and again. Be careful."

Accompanied by the swaying carriage and horses, Li Yu couldn't help but close his eyes and clenched his hands tightly on his knees.

Baili really existed, by his side.

She saved his life.

There really is a white fence in the world.

He has been helping her since they met because she was always in various dangers, although she did not describe them in detail.

"You can help me just by sleeping."

Until the Lantern Festival Palace Banquet, she didn't let him sleep. She kept him awake and held a lotus root in his hands.

"Because of you, Lotus Root can save my life."

That time two moons appeared, and that's when all the changes began.

So, that time, he failed to help her, but still put her in danger and was possessed by the ghost.

"Your Highness, Zhang Ze has entered the Dongyang Marquis Mansion. I'm afraid it won't be easy to investigate. Zhou Jingyun is heavily guarded."

Cai Songnian's voice came.

Li Yu closed his eyes: "No need to check."

When people stop dreaming, they will become very clear when they look at the things around them.

Yes, what does Zhang Ze do? When tracking down Chiang Kai-shek's party, he even issued an arrest document for Bai Li. But later, he got very close to Zhou Jingyun and even went to Lou Chuan, but he posed no threat to Bai Li and neither asked nor investigated.

As for Zhou Jingyun, although everyone said that he was kicked out of the court by Empress Chiang, he was not beheaded by Empress Chiang, and he had been upholding the decrees promulgated by Empress Chiang for so many years. Not to mention, Yu Qingtang also found out that he He once protected two members of the Chiang Kai-shek Party.

Then there is Mr. Zhuang.

Li Yu opened his eyes.

"Let Shopkeeper Huang go to Dengzhou again." He said.

Cai Songnian was stunned for a moment. Shopkeeper Huang was a man who used his identity as a businessman as a cover. Why did he suddenly go to Dengzhou? What should be investigated in Dengzhou?

Li Yu looked at the swaying car curtain.

"Check the people who have had contact with Mrs. Zhuang." He said slowly, "Especially the various people who appeared around Mrs. Zhuang when she returned to Dengzhou and left Dengzhou."

Cai Songnian stopped asking and answered yes.

Li Yu slowly closed his eyes again, put his hand on his heart and clenched it tightly.

Ah Li, just wait, I will definitely get you back.
