White Hedge Dream

Chapter 265 Progress

As soon as the sky dawned, Mrs. Xue's hurried footsteps broke the silence in Mrs. Dongyang Hou's room.

"What happened to Jingyun?" she asked urgently, "Why didn't you tell me that such a big thing happened?"

There were no maids or maids in the room. Mrs. Dongyang Hou was leaning on a pillow with a cup of tea in front of her, seemingly sipping tea.

When she saw Mrs.

Mrs. Xue raised her eyebrows: "He is still in the mood to fry tea in the Zhenguo Duke's mansion? You are still in the mood to drink tea!"

Mrs. Dongyang Hou took the tea and took a sip: "We have to live our lives as we should. Could it be that we can't live it just for him alone?"

Mrs. Xue took her tea cup: "Do you look like a mother?"

"My son doesn't act like a son, why should I act like a mother." Mrs. Dongyang Hou snorted coldly.

Mrs. Xue looked at her broken jar, and seemed to be greatly stimulated.

She lowered her voice and asked, "Were you really stabbed by King Chu?"

Mrs. Dongyang Hou did not answer, but asked with curiosity: "It was spread outside? How did it spread?"

"How else can I pass on what Xue Silang told me?" Mrs. Xue said angrily, "It's just that little thing."

Love, love, love, we will live and die together.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou made a weird laugh, said nothing, and picked up the tea again.

Mrs. Xue snatched it away again: "Don't be so weird, tell me quickly, isn't it? What's going on!"

Mrs. Dongyang Hou looked at her: "Don't worry, you will know in a few days. Don't ask now, I am too lazy to make up lies to deceive you."

After saying that, the scene of the woman talking in front of him seemed to reappear in front of his eyes.

"Madam, I don't make up lies to lie to you, I tell you the truth."

"I am actually a monster. I can turn into monsters, make people crazy, and make people seek death."

"I came to Beijing because my family members died, and I couldn't accept it, so I came to cause trouble to the world."

"I've killed several people."

"Madam, are you afraid of me?"

Mrs. Dongyang Hou gritted her teeth, and the figures in front of her dispersed, leaving only Mrs. Xue with an annoyed face.

Although she was angry, Mrs. Xue had bright eyes and a rosy complexion. She seemed to have the strength not only to quarrel with her, but also to beat her.

Unlike before, when you get angry, let alone others, you can make yourself angry to death first if you are weak.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou snorted disdainfully.

She killed a few people without seeing it, but she actually watched her save her sister.

Make a fierce look to scare someone.

"It didn't scare the lady."

The woman's giggling look appeared in front of Mrs. Dongyang Hou's eyes again.

"It can be seen that Madam is more powerful than me. She has a strong mind, a determined mind, and is fearless. Even monsters and monsters cannot scare you."

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense anymore, but praising Madam is not nonsense."

"I'm leaving. Previously, the prince faked a marriage with me and brought me to the capital. This time I went to fake a marriage with the King of Chu and join the royal family as a noble."

"Well, I can't hide it from Madam. Madam is right. I just want to go against the people who killed my family and make them uneasy."

"The King of Chu also happens to be going against someone else. We hit it off immediately and told the prince that next, Mrs. Lao will be as stable as a mountain and continue to watch our fake show."

"Although the matter is false, if it weren't for the true affection of my wife and the prince for me, my fake act would have been seen through long ago."

"Thank you madam for your hard work, madam, for letting me suffer."

She bowed deeply, raised her head from the ground, and looked into her eyes.

"Madam, I also have true feelings for you."

Someone pushed her on the shoulder: "What are you doing? Are you telling the truth?"

Mrs. Dongyanghou looked at Mrs. Xue's face.

"Truth or lies," she said. "Whoever wants to say it can say it."

She raised her hand to grab the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.

What is true, what is false, true and false, sentimental and ruthless, she is too lazy to care.

When the emperor walked into the Hanliang Hall, Bai Ying was holding a child and throwing bamboo hoops. A group of young chamberlains acted as stakes. They were either caught in the bamboo hoops thrown by Bai Ying or escaped to tease the little prince.

But the little prince didn't seem to be interested. When he saw the emperor walking in, he immediately opened his hands and screamed at him.

"I've been coaxing you for a long time, why did you come to see your father the first time?" Bai Ying scolded, deliberately holding him to prevent him from going to the emperor, "No, you are not allowed to go."

The little prince began to cry.

The emperor smiled and took the child: "Baolang hasn't seen his father for half a day."

Bai Ying said with a bit of pity: "Your Majesty has just left the morning court, and there will be a small court meeting in a while. You are too tired, please take a rest."

The emperor threw the little prince up, making him giggle.

"It's very easy to take care of Baolang." He said, "I would rather play with Baolang than go to the morning court."

Bai Ying hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty, you must not do this."

The emperor smiled and pulled her up: "Don't be so cautious all the time. We, a family of three, should speak more casually."

Bai Ying stood next to him, took the brocade handkerchief brought by the chamberlain, gently wiped the emperor's sweat, and asked what came to mind: "I heard that Dongyang Hou Shizi was injured?"

The emperor snorted: "Yes, I have asked the hospital. The wound is on the heart. It is extremely dangerous. Fortunately, everything is fine."

Bai Ying hesitated and asked: "There are rumors that it is because of King Chu?"

The emperor said angrily: "I asked the Marquis of Dongyang, and the Marquis of Dongyang only said that Zhou Jingyun stabbed himself while drunk."

Bai Ying smiled: "In that case, your Majesty, let the King of Chu get married as soon as possible. He is obviously a passionate person, but the rumors are unbearable."

"There's no smoke without fire." The emperor snorted coldly, "It's not just that his daily behavior is not upright."

Bai Ying reached out and poked the little prince in the face: "Don't be harsh on him. He has lost his parents since he was a child."

Having said this, Wang Degui ran in from outside.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," he said urgently.

Bai Ying raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you so irritable? You are now serving as an errand in front of His Majesty. If it doesn't work, just replace him."

The emperor stopped her: "Degui did a good job." He asked Wang Degui, "What happened?"

"Princess Jinyu is here." Wang Degui said with a nervous expression. "She doesn't look good. She's not sitting on her shoulders. She looks very angry."

Bai Ying was also a little nervous: "Your Majesty, she must have heard the news. Have you told her?"

The emperor also looked a little nervous: "I plan to call her in the afternoon."

Li Yu is afraid of Princess Jinyu, why isn't he afraid too? At that time, I agreed to Li Yu in a hurry, but I still regretted it a little. I didn't dare to tell Princess Jinyu, so I kept putting it off...

But seeing the nervous and worried expressions of Bai Ying and Wang Degui, the emperor frowned again. Now is not the past. He and the people around him cannot continue to be fearful, everyone is afraid.

He is the emperor now, no one can scare him!

"It's better to come earlier." The emperor straightened his back, "Tell her earlier and prepare for the marriage earlier."

Bai Ying was about to say something when Princess Jinyu's shout came from outside.

"Mukuro!"

People came forward with shouts.

Bai Ying hurriedly took the child from the emperor's hand: "Your Majesty is talking to the princess, let's step aside first."

Perhaps because of the urgent hug, the little prince started crying in panic.

Princess Jinyu's eyes fell on Bai Ying and sneered: "Bai Ying, what are you hiding from? You are guilty of being a thief. Did you encourage His Majesty to ask Li Yu to marry a maid?" Bai Ying held the child and was about to kneel down: "Princess, my lord. I don’t dare”

The little prince in his arms cried loudly.

The emperor's temper also grew. He stretched out his hand to pull Bai Ying up, patted and coaxed the little prince, and scolded Princess Jinyu: "Speak carefully if you have anything to say, don't act wild here!"

Princess Jinyu looked at the emperor angrily: "You said I acted wildly? I just asked your concubine, is this called acting wildly? Then when I asked Yang Yuan to pour me wine and tea, was it a treasonous crime worthy of death?" He started crying again, "This used to be my home. Ever since my father was deceived by the demon queen, we all have no home. I have been looking forward to seeing you finally come back, but to my surprise, I still have no home."

This was half a complaint and half a flattery. After the emperor heard this, his temper immediately disappeared and he said helplessly: "If you have something to say, just say it properly. Don't cry!"

When Zhang Ze came over, he saw several officials standing outside Hanliang Hall, talking in low voices.

Because there is a small court meeting after the morning court, the important ministers and important officials of the court will gather here.

However, the emperor has become more and more slack recently, always pushing and pulling.

"What?" Zhang Ze saw them and asked, "Isn't Your Majesty here today?"

Several officials turned around and saw that it was Zhang Ze. They felt that his questions were unnecessary. Zhang Ze would not ask questions in the past.

Even if the emperor does not see them, he will definitely see Zhang Ze.

But since Zhang Ze spoke and didn't reach out to hit the smiling man, it would be inappropriate to ignore him. It's better not to mess with this mad dog.

Then an official said: "I guess I won't see you anymore, Princess Jinyu is here."

Princess Jinyu is the same now. She likes to get close to the emperor, and she also likes to give advice on court affairs, and she talks for a long time.

Zhang Ze said.

"They must be talking about the marriage of the King of Chu." He said, and then walked past the officials and said, "Listen."

ah? The marriage of King Chu? The other officials were stunned, and the official who originally turned his head looked over.

Can you still listen to this?

Look again, Zhang Ze has indeed stood by the palace door. Everyone looks at me and I look at you, and their eyes indicate that they should also listen.

After all, the status of King Chu was unusual, and his marriage also affected the situation in the DPRK.

As soon as they got closer, the originally low and earnest voice in the hall suddenly grew louder.

"It's no use saying these nice words!" Princess Jinyu shouted, "What do you mean it's for his own good! Just follow his whim? What is his identity! A maidservant who was born as a wife and became the Princess of Chu, the royal family has lost all face!"

Maid?

The officials outside the palace were stunned.

The king of Chu wants to marry a maid? Real or fake?

"Princess, he has a daughter with that maid, and he has lost his face. Now we, as elders, have to find a way to help him recover..."

Concubine Bai's gentle voice came out, which shocked the officials outside the palace. They already had children!

"Bai Ying! Who are you to talk to me about us? If you are of low status, you have to find someone low-ranking for the King of Chu, right?"

"Jinyu! Concubine Bai is my concubine. She was given by the late emperor by decree. She is also the biological mother of the current eldest prince! How come she is so low-ranking!"

"Liu Lang, do you still remember that she was given by Emperor Father? At that time, Emperor Father was already confused by Empress Chiang! She was chosen by Empress Chiang! I think she is going to confuse you now too! Leave the court affairs alone, take care of the children day by day, and... You are really out of your mind to find a maid as a wife for the descendants of the Li family!"

"Princess! I have been wronged, I must not dare!"

When he heard this, Zhang Ze stepped in.

"Princess!" he shouted in a deep voice, "You must not roar in disgrace in front of you!"

The emperor was given a headache by Princess Jinyu's shouting, and Bai Ying knelt down crying. He didn't know whether to reason with Jinyu first or comfort Bai Ying.

He has not been good at arguing with others since he was a child, especially with Princess Jinyu who has been spoiled since he was a child and no one dares to mess with him.

Zhang Ze suddenly appeared, and the emperor not only did not blame him for being unreasonable, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

Princess Jinyu looked at Zhang Ze and sneered: "What? Zhang Ze, you also want to discuss the marriage of King Chu? Don't lose your identity, this is our Li family's business!"

Zhang Ze said calmly: "I am not here to discuss this. I am the censor Zhongcheng appointed by your majesty, and he also supervises the manners of his ministers."

His face fell.

"Princess Jinyu, although your surname is Li and you are a royal child, you are also a minister. You must not be rude before the king!"

Princess Jinyu's face froze, Yu Shi Zhongcheng really had this responsibility.

"you-"

Zhang Ze interrupted her first: "As for the marriage of King Chu, the princess should not come to make trouble with His Majesty. You should go and question King Chu. This is what King Chu personally requested from Your Majesty. He does not ask for a future, but only wants to be together for the rest of his life. "Your Majesty has fulfilled the wishes of the King of Chu. So, princess, whose wishes are you here to make trouble with?"

Princess Jinyu was furious: "Zhang Ze, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson!"

Zhang Ze was not afraid at all. He took a step forward and looked at Princess Jinyu: "But I am qualified to investigate you, princess."

Princess Jinyu looked at him: "Why are you checking me? Don't even think about framing me!"

Zhang Ze took out a volume of literature from his sleeve: "There are many things to investigate. Some of them are accusing the princess of occupying fertile land, some of them are accusing the princess of robbing young people, and Prime Minister Zhu also came to ask me to investigate the case of Miss Zhu who got lost during the uterus banquet." The thing is, is it related to the princess?"

He said handing over the booklet.

"Princess, do you want to see for yourself? Tell me which one is a frame-up?"

Princess Jinyu's face turned red and she wanted to tear up the booklet and Zhang Ze too.

Zhang Ze, this bitch, didn't dare to mess with her in the past, but now he wants to step on her while His Majesty is angry?

These cool people are all bullshit.

This was the case with Empress Chiang Kai-shek's cruel officials, and the same was true with the cruel officials of King Changyang after he ascended the throne.

"Father, you died early—" Princess Jinyu wailed.

"That's enough!" the emperor shouted, "Zhang Ze, put away your document and check it carefully before you speak. Don't even know if it was framed."

Zhang Ze leaned over and answered yes.

The emperor looked at Princess Jinyu again: "Li Yu came to beg me because he knew you didn't agree. It's not easy for this child to survive. Now I just want to be safe and go well. I have experienced the hardship of living a shaky life, so I agreed to her."

He emphasized the words "safe and smooth" and looked at Princess Jinyu with a meaningful look.

"If you have other wishes, just convince him with affection and reason. This is his day, and he has to be willing to live it."

Princess Jinyu wanted to say something, but in the end her expression changed, she turned around and walked away with a flutter of sleeves.

The emperor looked down at Bai Ying, who was kneeling and sobbing.

"Without an identity, you will be ridiculed at every turn." He said, "Aying, get up, and I will make you a noble concubine immediately."

After that, he called Wang Degui.

"Master Huang, are they all here?"

Wang Degui said hurriedly: "Everyone is waiting outside the hall."

The emperor said: "Send them to the study. I want to draw up a decree. First, it will be the marriage of the King of Chu, and then the title of Concubine Bai will be given."

Wang Degui responded loudly.

Bai Ying did not object again this time. She knelt down and choked with sobs: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness."

The emperor took Wang Degui to the side hall, and the officials who were listening to the excitement outside the hall also passed by.

Bai Ying was still kneeling on the ground, but not at all trembling. She raised her hand and gently stroked her temples, looking at Zhang Ze who was standing in the hall.

"Thank you, Zhong Cheng, for coming in time." She said with a smile, "Otherwise, I don't know how long it would have been."

Zhang Ze leaned over and saluted, with a big smile on his face: "I am honored to be able to help my empress."

New plot in progress.

At the last moment when everything collapses and there is no retreat, someone has to stand up and pull everything out of the abyss.

If there is no such person, then I will be that person.
