White Hedge Dream

Chapter 278 Arrangement

The crackling sound of firecrackers rang out on the street in front of Prince Chu's Mansion, causing children around to clap their hands and run around.

"The King of Chu has taken a wife."

Hearing these words, passers-by were a little confused. Didn't they just get married? Remembered wrongly?

"No, His Majesty said that the King of Chu has a wife and a son, and it's time to work seriously. He asked him to go to Wanqi Camp for training. The King of Chu is celebrating after receiving the gift."

It turns out that Wan Qiying is the emperor's cronies and his top priority.

Of course, it is also the place where the most relatives of the emperor work.

However, at that time, Empress Chiang killed and demoted the emperor's relatives, and Wanqiying lost all the emperor's relatives.

"I thought that if the King of Chu got married, he would be kicked out of the capital."

"It is said that Princess Jinyu gave advice to His Majesty."

"His Majesty did not drive him out, but even let him enter the Ten Thousand Cavalry Camp."

"It shows that Your Majesty really loves this nephew."

"The King of Chu has come out—"

Accompanied by the sound of voices, people on the street looked toward the Chu Prince's Mansion and saw a group of guards appearing, and then the gorgeously dressed Chu Prince got into a car and sped away.

"Where are we going?"

"Going to the palace to thank you?"

"Going to Wanqi Camp?"

But soon the news spread. King Chu did not go to either place. He went to Xinghua Tower, where a group of dandy boys were waiting to congratulate King Chu. It is said that King Chu said that he would party all night long, and even promised to give everyone a plan. official position

The people on the street were angry and funny, and felt that there was nothing surprising. Although the King of Chu was no longer called Shangguan Yue, his habits were still the same.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of Xinghua Building, the teahouse next to it is much quieter and does not attract too much attention.

Hearing a gentle knock on the door, Zhou Jingyun, who was standing by the window, quickly walked over and opened it. It seemed that the wind was blowing, and his vision was a little blurry. It became clear the next moment. Bai Li stood at the door and smiled at him.

"I thought you were waiting over there." She said with a smile.

Zhou Jingyun let her in with a smile: "I came early, no one noticed yet." Then he asked, "Nanny didn't come with you?"

"It's not like we go out to play and don't take her with us." Bai Li said, "You don't know that it's getting harder and harder to take her with you now. She no longer wants to stay in the yard. Now she walks around the palace every day. If you take her out , the palace will definitely not want to stay."

"All children are like this." Zhou Jingyun said with a smile.

Bai Li glanced at him: "This is your first time taking care of a child. You seem to know a lot."

Zhou Jingyun nodded: "I am good at reading and doing things, so I understand everything well and I am also very good at raising children."

Bai Li laughed: "I'm not praising you."

Zhou Jingyun smiled without saying a word and sat down to make tea: "This official position of King Chu is probably arranged by Concubine Bai."

Bai Li watched him cooking tea: "Yes, in addition to inviting me to share the glory, she also showed her support to Li Yu, so His Majesty originally wanted us to leave the capital and go to the fiefdom, but she persuaded Your Majesty to get Li Yu to join the Ten Thousand Cavalry Camp. "

"Wanqiying is indeed very sincere." Zhou Jingyun said, handing a cup of tea to Bai Li, "When you enter Wanqiying, the King of Chu is equivalent to standing next to His Majesty."

Bai Li took the tea and said, "My sister is very kind to others."

"Her good purpose is to really dig out her heart and lungs." Zhou Jingyun said, pushing another plate of snacks over, "This tea goes best with this, you try it."

Bai Li asked: "Have you tried it?"

Zhou Jingyun nodded: "I tried it."

Knowing that he would meet here today, he came in advance and tasted the tea in the teahouse carefully.

Bai Li looked at him and smiled without saying anything. He held a cup of tea and took a sip of snacks.

Zhou Jingyun didn't speak anymore and continued to make tea. The summer wind swirled and the fragrance of tea overflowed.

The silence did not last long. The door of the room was opened again. Zhang Ze walked in and glanced at the two people sitting opposite each other.

"I've met your empress." He saluted respectfully.

Bai Li smiled: "Zhongcheng, no need to be polite, please sit down."

Zhang Ze glanced at her. The young woman in his sight had beautiful features. In fact, she looked very similar to Bai Ying. No, she couldn't. If she looked like her, she would not be the empress, but just the daughter of the Bai family.

"Recently, the empress should not meet the prince often, so as not to be discovered." He said.

As the words fell, the woman in front of her sat up straight with her tea cup in hand, her beautiful face rippling like water in her sight, her distant eyebrows raised: "Zhang Ze, I'm a ghost, who can find me? You won't be discovered. Just fine.”

Zhang Ze leaned over and bowed again: "Yes, I will be careful."

The female voice in my ear said with a smile, "Sit down."

Zhang Ze sat down as he said, looked at the woman in front of him and took a sip of tea.

"There's nothing good about Wanqi Camp. There has been no involvement from the emperor's relatives in recent years, and they have been left here by relying on their true abilities." She said, "Li Yu, an upstart, suddenly passed over, so he was inevitably thrown into a lot of trouble."

Zhang Ze said: "Don't worry, your Majesty. This is just a perfunctory move by Bai Ying. It won't be long before she will take action again."

His eyes flickered, and the woman put down the tea cup, picked up a snack, and wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows: "But I don't think it's necessary. It would be faster to get rid of Bai Ying immediately."

She looked at Zhang Ze.

"Zhang Ze, do you still keep the personal and material evidence of the replacement of the emperor's heir?"

For example, the biological parents of the current pretended prince were Dr. Wenpo who delivered the baby.

Zhang Ze looked at the face that turned into Bai Li again: "It's not a good thing so soon. Even if Bai Ying and the little prince are removed, the emperor has countless concubines in the harem and will give birth to a prince, and His Majesty has a sensitive and suspicious temperament. You After all, she is Bai Ying's sister. If Bai Ying is eliminated, you and King Chu will not end well. "

Bai Li snorted: "You mean you really have it?" He said with a smile, "My sister also paid by mistake, and you are still guarding her."

Zhang Ze also smiled: "You must always leave a way out when doing things." Looking at this face similar to Bai Ying's, "I used to leave a way out for me, but now that I have the empress, everything I have will be Paving the way for the empress, I only wait for the day when the empress becomes the empress.”

The face in front of him fluctuated again and turned into that of Empress Jiang.

"Okay, I understand." She said, no longer looking at Zhang Ze, but at Zhou Jingyun, "Pour some tea for Zhang Zhongcheng. Zhang Zhongcheng may help me."

Zhou Jingyun lowered his eyes, poured tea as instructed, and passed it to Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp: "Thank you, Madam." After saying that, he stood up and said, "I won't keep any more."

The woman nodded: "Go ahead."

Zhang Ze stood up and walked out. When he turned around and closed the door, he saw that the face had changed back to its original appearance. She pushed the tea cup with her smiling hands, and the tea cup moved little by little on the table and moved to Zhou Jingyun.

"I also want a cup of tea." Zhang Ze closed the door and frowned.

Why didn't Bai Li turn into Empress Chiang in front of Zhou Jingyun?

It can be seen that Zhou Jingyun's heart is not with the empress.

Fortunately, he is there.

He will make her into the real Empress Chiang.

Bai Li watched the tea being poured into the cup, and ate the snacks himself first.

"I didn't even ask," she said. "I should have let you in as soon as I walked in."

Let Empress Jiang come out to scare him. Before she could say this, Zhou Jingyun was already looking at her with solemn eyes.

"Bai Li." He shouted, "What others think of you is their business. You have to remember who you are."

Bai Li smiled: "I know, I know."

Zhou Jingyun was absolutely unwilling to see her assume the identity of Empress Chiang Kai-shek.

Although she has used it many times.

She pushed the dessert plate towards him.

"Eat one, sweet."

Zhou Jingyun didn't say anything anymore, Yi Yan picked up a piece of snack and took a bite.

"Zhang Ze is a cautious person. Even if he faces Empress Chiang, he will not leave no escape route." He said.

The evidence that the little prince is true or false is extremely crucial to Bai Ying and King Baili Chu, and Zhang Ze will not hand it over.

Bai Li nodded: "I know, it's okay. That's not the purpose of asking this time anyway." After saying that, he took the tea and drank it in one gulp, then handed it to Zhou Jingyun, "One more cup."

Zhou Jingyun couldn't help but laugh. So, is the purpose of coming here to drink tea?

Cai Songnian saw through the door and window that Zhang Ze quietly left the teahouse next to him, escorted by several disguised entourages.

He turned around and passed through the young men who were drinking and having fun, and stood next to the smiling Li Yu who was sitting sideways with a wine glass in his hand.

"Zhang Ze is gone." He whispered.

Li Yu smiled and nodded, looking towards the door. Zhou Jingyun should be coming over, right?

According to the agreement, he accompanied Bai Li to meet Zhang Ze, and after speaking, he would come over, so that people would see that he was also attending the banquet, and his eyes would be drawn to them, while Bai Li came and went quietly. .

As the figures mingled, another follower squeezed over and whispered in his ear: "The Prince of Zhou said that he won't come. When the time comes, he will walk directly from the teahouse and pass the restaurant. People will speculate and talk. If you don't appear in front of others, no one will see." It can lead to speculation but has no solid evidence, which is better for His Highness."

Li Yu snorted and laughed.

A young man sitting on the ground next to him heard: "Your Highness is so happy!" He raised his glass and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness!"

Li Yu touched the wine glass to him and said, "Happy, happy, let's have fun together." He finished the drink in one gulp.

Seeing the young man next to him getting drunk after drinking, Li Yu's eyes, which were not drunk at all, darkened.

Would it be better for him not to appear in front of him?

Why didn't you think so when you went to the palace before?

"Zhongcheng, Zhongcheng."

When Zhang Ze entered the Board of Supervisors, he saw Guo Shundian coming up to him.

"What are you shouting about? Talk about something if you have something to say." Zhang Ze said.

"Where are you going?" Guo Shun asked.

Zhang Ze stopped and looked at him: "What? Are you checking me?"

Guo Shun hurriedly waved his hand: "How dare you, little one? It's your Majesty who keeps asking you." After saying that, he lowered his voice and said, "My Majesty, something seems to have happened to me." He said with a bit of grievance, "Call me over, too. Don’t tell me, just ask Zhong Cheng, even if I want to help, I don’t have a chance.”

That's it, Zhang Zhe said yes.

"Zhongcheng, please go and have a look. I learned from the imperial physician that the empress seems to have had another nightmare and is afraid to sleep." Guo Shun whispered.

nightmare? Zhang Ze stopped and asked, "Is it like Princess Jinyu?"

The outside world knows that Princess Jinyu met Prince Chu and his wife that day, refused to drink Princess Chu's tea, and went to plant flowers.

The Board of Supervisors knew more clearly that Princess Jinyu was not voluntarily planting flowers like this, but was frightened and even slept in the garden without daring to leave. She also called Empress Chiang in her mouth.

Because it was related to Empress Chiang, not only did the Princess Mansion block the news, but Zhang Ze also ordered that it not be spread to outsiders.

Of course Guo Shun knew about it, and he shook his head when he heard this: "I'm not sure about this. Zhongcheng has ordered that you are not allowed to inquire about the empress."

Zhang Ze thought thoughtfully, it must be after Bai Li entered the palace, the empress appeared to torment Bai Ying, a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and then disappeared.

"I'll go take a look," he said.

Guo Shun responded: "Last time, Zhongcheng, you didn't have to choose a few suitable people for the queen to use. I have selected them all and sent them over together so that the queen can see and be happy."

It didn't matter. Zhang Zhen nodded and didn't care. Guo Shunle followed him to Hanliang Hall, but he didn't see Bai Ying.

This is very strange, Bai Ying rarely leaves here.

"The queen said she couldn't sleep well." The chamberlain who stayed here whispered, "I went to the cold palace, but I can sleep well there."

Zhang Ze said, "Hide in the cold palace?" The entire imperial city once belonged to the empress, so what about the Leng Palace? He went to the Leng Palace again.

Guo Shun followed with the box in his arms. The Leng Palace was deserted, but there were maids guarding the outside today.

Seeing Zhang Ze coming, they lowered their eyes as if they couldn't see him. Without saying hello or stopping him, Zhang Ze went straight into the cold palace.

"Zhongcheng, there is a case that I can't investigate no matter what. The suspect refuses to admit whether he is dead or alive." Guo Shun muttered from the side.

Zhang Ze sneered: "I've been teaching you for so long, and you still don't know how to do it? The most useful one is the charcoal-fired urn."

As he spoke, he looked towards a palace in front of him and immediately paused.

There was no figure of Bai Ying in the palace, but there was a large urn surrounded by charcoal fire.

At the same time, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps behind him.

Zhang Ze slowly turned his head and saw a circle of guards surrounding him. They were not the guards of the Board of Supervisors, nor the familiar imperial guards.

"This is transferred from the Beijing camp through General Li's family." Guo Shun said with a smile, threw the box in his hand on the ground, stretched out his hand to invite, "Zhongcheng, please enter the urn."

New January, new day~
