White Hedge Dream

Chapter 277 No need

The morning light finally shone into the palace. Wang Degui's eyes turned red and he asked the palace people to put out the lights that had been burning all night.

Bai Ying's bedroom was brightly lit last night, illuminating every corner without leaving any shadow.

Despite this, Bai Ying didn't sleep all night.

But she didn't seem to be awake. When the palace people moved around, the lights went out, and Bai Ying, who was sitting on the soft couch, stood up suddenly.

"Who?" she shouted.

He obviously looked at the person with his eyes open, but asked who it was, what's wrong with the empress? Is there really no need to call in a doctor? Wang Degui couldn't help but remember that Bai Ying had suffered from this symptom in the cold palace before.

Bai Ying also refused to sleep and said it was a nightmare. Then she asked an imperial doctor, who diagnosed her with a happy pulse.

Could it be that she is sick again? No, she is pregnant again? No, since giving birth, Bai Ying rarely sleeps with her.

"Mother, it's dawn." Wang Degui said.

When she heard that it was dawn, Bai Ying's tense body relaxed and her eyes gradually became focused.

"It's dawn, that's good." She said, sat down on the soft couch and breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Degui directed the palace people to extinguish the lights, and went to bring a copper basin of hot water for Bai Ying to tidy up her appearance. He himself looked around the palace and saw the Sanqing bell rolling down next to the pillar.

"Empress, this one" he picked up the Sanqing Bell and held it in his hand to show it to Bai Ying, "it's broken. I'll go to the Holy Ancestor Temple and ask Xuanyangzi to give me another one."

Wang Degui said, but was interrupted by Bai Ying before he finished speaking.

"Need not!"

Need not? Wang Degui looked at Bai Ying with some confusion.

Bai Ying looked at the Sanqing Bell. She suspected that it had been broken a long time ago and would no longer work. Otherwise, she saw phantoms one after another last night and it didn't ring.

"In order to protect the fetus in my belly, Xuanyangzi gave this to me." She said slowly, "Now that the baby is born, how can I ask for it again? Xuanyangzi has never interacted with the palace, and even His Majesty did not It’s hard to move, so don’t disturb him.”

Xuanyangzi is the one who protects the Li family.

But he didn't care about the competition for the Li family, and the father, son and brothers were fighting each other.

She and Zhang Ze speculated that it would be fine as long as the person sitting on the throne was named Li.

That's why I dared to try changing the baby. Sure enough, the Emperor's Bell didn't respond, and neither did the Holy Ancestor Guan Xuanyangzi.

But after all, it was about the emperor's heir, and Bai Ying didn't want to have too much contact with the Holy Ancestor Temple, at least not yet.

When she secures her position as Queen Mother, and when the emperor gives birth to other princes, she will definitely get rid of this fake prince and let the real prince take over. She definitely does not want to mess up the Li family.

Bai Ying lowered her eyes and thought silently.

"Empress, do you need Your Majesty to know about what happened here last night?" Wang Degui asked softly.

Bai Ying only used her children to guard the emperor, and never bothered him at night. She also personally arranged and selected concubines to sleep with him. The emperor wanted to have fun, and he also wanted to have more heirs, so he played almost every night.

Bai Ying's surroundings were tightly airtight. Even though the lights were brightly lit last night, the emperor who was with the young concubine didn't know the news at all.

After hearing Wang Degui's words, Bai Ying thought for a moment, Sanqing Bell was useless and could only rely on others.

By the emperor's side, demons, monsters and ghosts could not get close.

"Pass the news." Bai Ying said, "Just say that the little prince has been crying all night."

Wang Degui responded yes.

"Go ahead, let the little prince cry, and hire a doctor for the little prince." Bai Ying ordered, leaning on the soft couch, reaching out and pressing her forehead.

Wang Degui hurriedly motioned to the two palace maids to come forward and massage Bai Ying's shoulders, back, legs and feet: "Your Majesty, please rest for a moment to recuperate. I will make arrangements right away."

Bai Ying said no more, closed her eyes, and heard Wang Degui's footsteps hurried away, but after a moment, Wang Degui's footsteps came back again.

"Mother, Deputy Inspector Guo is here."

Deputy Inspector Guo? Bai Ying thought about it, that Guo Shun was Zhang Ze's confidant.

It's Zhang Ze who wants him to convey something.

Bai Ying sneered in her heart, saying that Zhang Ze should be perfunctory, he sends his cronies every time.

The day he sends a useless follower to deliver the message, that means he doesn't take her seriously at all.

"Maybe I went to the Board of Supervisors yesterday and didn't say anything, so Guo Shun came to ask what my orders were." Wang Degui said from the side, with a smile, "Although Deputy Guo's countryman's behavior is a bit ungrateful, he still does things. He is very attentive. He remembers every instruction given by the queen and greets me when he sees me first."

Hearing this, Bai Ying suddenly opened her eyes and swallowed back her original sentence of "Just tell you something."

"Go." She sat up and waved the maids to step back, "Let him come in."

Guo Shun was wearing official uniform, but when he entered the palace, he could not stand up straight as Wang Degui.

He was said to be Zhang Ze's fellow countryman, but Zhang Ze didn't have the slightest bit of a countryman vibe. Even though he was wearing the clothes of a lowly city patrol guard at that time, he still looked like he came from a noble family when he came out.

Not like Guo Shun, who spoke in a long-winded manner and looked around.

"Yesterday, I saw my father-in-law coming to ask. I was worried that my mother-in-law had any urgent instructions, so I came here early in the morning to ask."

".Zhongcheng has told me to always listen to your Majesty's orders. I'm afraid I'll miss it. If your Majesty needs anything, please tell me first. I'll do what I can do first. Whatever I can't do, I'll leave it to Zhongcheng."

When he said this, the imperial concubine, who was drinking soup slowly under the throne, interrupted.

"Deputy Envoy Guo, don't be humble, you are just like the Prime Minister in my heart."

Guo Shun was overjoyed and couldn't help but raise his head and look at Bai Ying in front of him: "Your Majesty, that's too much praise, little one."

"I'm a lower official." Bai Ying corrected him and smiled, "There is no praise. Zhang Ze chose you for me. You are certainly an extraordinary person. I believe in him and I believe in you."

Guo Shun said sarcastically: "The empress naturally trusts the Prime Minister."

"Zhongcheng was very busy yesterday, wasn't he?" Bai Ying asked suddenly, sighing softly, "I told him a lot of things yesterday, it was really **** him."

Guo Shun's eyes flashed: "Zhongcheng, yesterday, I was very busy, and I went to see the Crown Prince of Dongyang Houfu -" After his words fell, Bai Ying seemed to be stunned for a moment.

"Why did he go to see Zhou Jingyun?" she asked.

Guo Shun seemed to be stunned for a moment: "Isn't it the Queen's order?"

This time he did not lower his head, but carefully looked at Bai Ying's face. Bai Ying's face changed, shocked, disbelieving, confused, and finally dejected.

"I know." She said, lowering her eyes and saying no more.

"Your Majesty, do you really know?" Guo Shun was not as humble as before, but he even asked, "Last time, two officials were released from the prison in the Supervisory Court. Was it also the Imperial Majesty's order?"

Bai Ying looked at him with a shocked look on her face: "Why, let them out? Aren't all the prisoners in the Supervisory Court, Chiang Kai-shek's party?"

"Zhongcheng said that the check was wrong." Guo Shun said.

"Checking the error? Does he still check the error?" Bai Ying said, laughing, "It's really strange."

Guo Shun lowered his head: "This matter is handled by my subordinates. If I don't do it well, please forgive me. I'm sorry, I don't know that you don't know."

Bai Ying's voice in front of me dropped, "What would you do if you knew that I don't know?"

Guo Shun raised his head with a firm look on his face: "Of course I will come and ask the Queen as soon as possible, based on the Queen's orders."

Bai Ying looked at him steadily for a moment, then tears suddenly fell down.

Guo Shun was startled: "Mother, you"

Bai Ying looked at him and smiled sadly: "I actually guessed that Zhang Ze had other intentions."

Guo Shun was a little at a loss: "Your Majesty, you know"

"I don't blame him either. I'm just a concubine in the harem. He has helped me a lot. I'm very grateful to him." Bai Ying said.

Guo Shun was a little angry: "Empress, please don't say that. You trust Zhongcheng so much, but he betrays you. It's his fault. What's more, looking at this whole court, who else can compare to the empress? Follow the empress That’s the wise choice, Zhang Ze, he is confused.”

He no longer calls Zhongcheng.

Bai Ying looked disappointed: "I do have greater ambitions. It's a pity that I don't have Zhang Ze to help me." After saying that, she looked at Guo Shun and said, "Then, can I trust you, Deputy Envoy Guo?"

Guo Shun knelt down.

"From the first day he came to Beijing, Guo Shun worked diligently with Zhang Zexue, just waiting for this day." He looked up at Bai Ying, his face full of enthusiasm.

Waiting to be used by Bai Ying.

Waiting to replace Zhang Ze.

Bai Ying smiled slowly: "Okay, then I will meet Deputy Envoy Lao Guo." She waved to Guo Shun gently, "Come, let me tell you."

Li Yu walked out of the house and saw a white fence holding a small windmill to amuse the children in the yard.

"Did it bother you?" Bai Li said with a smile.

Li Yu smiled: "How come? In fact, I haven't been able to sleep well in quiet places since I was a child."

Because of fear? Bai Li thought to himself, that's why Shangguan Yue was running a floating boat business.

"Then don't worry, there is no more building, but the girl is getting bigger and bigger, the more energetic and noisy she is." Bai Li said with a smile and handed the girl to him.

Li Yu lifted the girl up and spun it like a windmill, causing giggles.

"By the way, I have good news for you." Bai Li said.

Li Yu looked at her and asked, "What?"

Bai Li took a step closer and whispered: "Bai Ying's Sanqing Bell is broken."

Li Yu raised his eyebrows: "So fast, Ah Li is so powerful!"

Bai Li coughed lightly: "I didn't do anything. She thought it was bad, so of course it was bad."

Li Yuxiao said, "Ali doesn't have to do anything. Just sit in front of her and make her think that the Sanqing Bell is broken. It shows how powerful it is." After saying that, he lifted his daughter and spun her around again. The children in the yard laughed like this. Silver bell.

"Don't spoil her. I can't lift her without you!" Bai Li scolded.

Li Yuxiao said: "Don't worry, I will always take care of my daughter and I won't make it hard for you."

He will not let Zhou Jingyun work hard.

While they were talking and laughing, Cai Songnian coughed and said "Your Highness" outside the courtyard gate.

Li Yu stopped and looked over.

Cai Songnian refused to come in, as if he was respectful and did not violate the rules.

Bai Li smiled and took the child from Li Yu: "Don't keep Mother Cai waiting."

Li Yu laughed and said no more. He strode out across the white fence and stood outside the courtyard gate. Cai Songnian whispered a few words to him.

Bai Li didn't look much, and was about to go in with his daughter in his arms, when Li Yu's voice came from behind him.

"Ali."

She turned around and saw Li Yu striding in with joy on his face, standing in front of her, smiling and whispering.

"I also have good news for you."

I haven’t finished writing this month, but I’m almost done after all.
