White Hedge Dream

Chapter 255 Something’s wrong

Li Yu picked up the girl and threw her up and down the corridor. The courtyard was filled with the giggles of children.

"Look, Nannan is so happy to see me." He said with a smile, looking at the woman sitting in the rocking chair with a bit of regret, "Nanny likes to play with me the most."

The woman smiled: "She is happy because you play with her. Children are ruthless."

Li Yu hurriedly covered his daughter's ears: "No, no." He was very happy, "Now I am building a new flower building in the palace, remodeling the garden, and building a secret room. I also take the opportunity to eliminate some other people's spies and increase my own manpower. I can't use it anymore." How long will it take, Ah Li, you and Nannan will be able to come to the palace as you like. "

Zhou Jingyun, who was standing aside, looked at him and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to talk about these things everywhere."

Li Yu glanced at him: "There are no outsiders here." After saying that, he threw his daughter up again, "I don't hide my affairs from our daughter."

Nannan seemed to be tired of playing, and started to look left and right again, reaching out into the courtyard.

Mrs. Zhuang said: "Your Highness, she is hungry."

Li Yu handed the girl to the wet nurse who was following her, and looked at Mrs. Zhuang with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, madam."

Mrs. Zhuang smiled at him and put down a plate of snacks: "Your Highness, try it. I made it myself."

Li Yu thanked him and sat down, picked up a piece of steamed cake with a fork and ate it, nodding repeatedly: "It's delicious." Then he looked at the woman next to him, "The snacks A Li chose on Lou Chuan are also delicious. Since leaving Lou Chuan, I can’t eat any delicious snacks either.”

The woman smiled and said, "Then eat more, Your Highness."

Li Yu lowered his head to eat another piece, and heard the woman say, "Drink some tea." A cup of tea was placed next to him, and the aroma of tea lingered in his nose. There was a nurse in the courtyard coaxing a child to sleep, and the child was babbling.

The courtyard in summer is noisy and cozy.

If only it were true.

A trace of sadness flashed in Li Yu's eyes. Unfortunately, he could no longer dream. His mother warned him before she died and left a sobering mirror in his dreams, just to prevent him from having sweet dreams and deceiving himself.

Li Yu raised his head, smiled crookedly, took a sip of tea, and then looked at the woman beside him: "Ali, there is something I want to tell you alone."

The woman and Zhou Jingyun both looked over.

"What's up?"

"OK."

The two said in unison.

"It's something very important, but also very offensive." Li Yu said, looking at Zhou Jingyun with insistence in his eyes, "I can only tell A Li alone."

Zhou Jingyun looked at him and refused to let go until the woman stood up from the chair.

"I want to hear what the offense is." She said, "Follow me." She pointed at Li Yu and then at Zhou Jingyun, "Just wait." She smiled again, "Don't worry, I'll be there later Let me tell you."

After that he entered the house.

Li Yu didn't care what she told Zhou Jingyun and followed him in happily. He closed the door first and then hurriedly closed the window as the woman sat at the desk in the east wing.

Zhou Jingyun stood in the corridor and frowned. There was always an ominous feeling when these two people were alone together. The doors and windows were closed, and the two people inside deliberately lowered their voices to speak, so they couldn't hear anything.

Since she wants to use A Li's identity, she shouldn't say some ridiculous things.

Even if Li Yu noticed something was wrong, he probably wouldn't think too much about it. After all, she was still A Li no matter how he looked at her.

Zhou Jingyun stood in the corridor and felt that a long time had passed until a cheer came from inside.

"I knew Ah Li would help me."

"Then I'll go and follow the plan."

"Go ahead."

Accompanied by the sound of talking, the door opened and Li Yu rushed out with a bright smile on his face.

"Your Majesty." He stopped and smiled at Zhou Jingyun, "I'm leaving first."

He said he was leaving first, but when he thought of something, he ran to the wing where Mrs. Zhuang was, and stood outside the door to call his daughter. Mrs. Zhuang came out and said that her daughter was asleep, and then he strode away with a smile.

"What are you so happy about?" Mrs. Zhuang said, although the smile on the young man's face was overflowing and contagious.

But she didn't laugh along, but looked at Zhou Jingyun with a bit of uneasiness and nervousness.

Zhou Jingyun shook his head and looked indoors.

The woman was still sitting at the desk, reading the books on it.

"What did he say?" Zhou Jingyun walked in and asked.

She didn't say anything, just smiled: "Let's see if he can do it."

Zhou Jingyun clenched his hands: "Don't use her body to talk nonsense and go against her will."

She smiled and interrupted him: "Zhou Jingyun, my existence is her will. How do you know that what I do is not what she wants to do?"

She looked at him and raised her eyebrows.

"Zhou Jingyun, don't forget how she came to the capital. The first time you saw her, you were inseparable from me."

"Whether you admit it or not, she and I are inseparable."

Zhou Jingyun lowered his eyes: "Nothing in the world is inseparable. People are always separated. She left home, left Zhuang Feizi, killed Zhuang Li with her own hands, and left Dongyang Hou Mansion."

She will definitely leave you too.

Zhou Jingyun raised his eyes and looked at the person at the desk. The person at the desk smiled: "You, you are still always arguing with me as before, maybe, but now she is still inseparable from me." After saying this, he yawned lazily, "Summer is so exciting. I’m sleepy. I’m going to take a nap. When I wake up, I’m going to eat the yellow rice cake from last time.”

Zhou Jingyun looked at her, nodded and said hello, and watched her walk towards the inner room.

"As before, you are not angry at my rebuttal," he said.

She turned back: "There is no point in getting angry. If I really can't bear it anymore, I can just kill you."

But she never killed him.

Zhou Jingyun looked at what she was about to say and then stopped.

She thought of something again, smiled half-heartedly, and stroked her arm.

"But don't try to cut me with a knife again while I'm sleeping. It's useless. She really doesn't care about it."

After saying that, he walked into the inner room, where the landscape gauze curtain swayed and blurred his figure.

Zhou Jingyun looked away and looked down at the dagger hidden in his sleeve.

Doesn't she care about herself...

…

…

The afternoon sun was getting hotter and hotter, and there were far fewer officials coming and going on the Imperial Street.

The carriage of Prince Chu's Mansion stopped outside the imperial city. Li Yu jumped out of the carriage and straightened his clothes.

"It's not easy to see His Majesty at this time." Cai Songnian followed down and whispered.

The emperor just pretended to be diligent. In the past two years, he could hardly keep up the pretense, and with the addition of the prince, he had even more excuses to be lazy.

He must have returned to the harem by this time.

The courtiers may not be able to meet him if they want to, and although King Chu is his nephew, he is not close to the emperor.

He regretted a little: "The princess came to see Your Majesty earlier, so I should have come with the princess..."

Li Yu smiled: "Try not to trouble the princess in the future. I have new connections now."

Don't bother the princess anymore? Does this mean that there is no need for a princess? So fast?

Also, new connections?

They also had spies in the palace, but they were all under-employed servants. It was okay to inquire about the goings-on in the palace, but it was impossible to introduce them to the emperor.

Li Yu smiled and didn't say much: "Don't worry, someone will pick you up soon."

Cai Songnian looked towards the imperial city gate suspiciously.

"Isn't this King Chu?"

Wang Degui walked out with two chamberlains, and saw Li Yu standing at the palace gate waiting with his name card, and said with a smile.

Li Yu nodded with a smile: "General Manager Wang."

Although Wang Degui is a person close to Concubine Bai, because His Majesty is often in Hanliang Hall recently, he has taken charge of the affairs around His Majesty. Although he has not officially taken office, everyone is already calling him the Chief Manager.

"Your Highness is welcome." Wang Degui said with a smile, "Come to see His Majesty?"

He said and stretched out his hand to indicate.

"What a coincidence. Come in with me quickly. When the princess came in the morning, His Majesty was still talking about you."

Li Yuhan smiled and thanked him, and followed Wang Degui inside.

Cai Songnian stood at the gate of the palace looking surprised. Is the new connection His Highness mentioned actually Wang Degui? Or, is it Concubine Bai?

His Highness can actually climb up to Concubine Bai? Isn’t Concubine Bai the most wary of His Highness?

Bai Ying glanced at Li Yu, who was brought in by Wang Degui, and took a slow sip of tea.

"Just because I'm asking you doesn't mean that I don't believe in Zhang Ze, and it doesn't mean that I believe in you," she said.

Li Yu said with a smile: "Mother, I am telling you this not to ask you not to believe Zhang Ze, nor to ask you to believe me. I am asking for something from you and want your help." Without waiting for Bai Ying, When he spoke again, he took the initiative and said, "Zhang Zhongcheng and Zhou Jingyun are discussing together and doing the things of good ministers."

A good minister? Bai Ying was stunned, and suddenly she didn't understand what Liangchen meant.

Can these two words be related to Zhang Ze?

"What are they going to do?" she asked with a frown.

But Li Yu stopped talking.

"I don't know." He said, "After all, Zhongcheng is very cautious in doing things, so it's not easy for me to ask."

After saying that, he looked sincere.

"But I will continue to inquire for my queen."

After another move, Bai Ying sneered in her heart and asked directly: "What do you want me to help you with?"

Li Yu looked at her and bowed: "Please let me see your majesty."

Bai Ying's eyes were wary: "What are you going to do when you see His Majesty?"

Li Yu raised his head, looked at her, smiled, and said, "Doing something that makes Princess Jinyu very angry will also ruin my own future."

Real or fake? Bai Ying's eyes flickered. If it was true, it would be a good thing.
