White Hedge Dream

Chapter 287 Worry

Seeing the emperor's behavior, the officials did not dare to disobey him, for fear of irritating him further, so two officials followed the instructions and came forward to report the inquiry.

Prime Minister Lu Zuo stepped aside and winked at Imperial Hospital Envoy Sun, who understood and came over.

"How is your Majesty's condition?" Lu Zuoxiang asked in a low voice.

Imperial envoy Sun did not answer, but asked: "Have you asked someone to invite Prime Minister Zhu?"

Hearing this, Prime Minister Lu Zuo's face turned even more ugly. This undoubtedly meant that His Majesty was on his deathbed, and Prime Minister Zhu, who had not been in court for a long time, would also be invited to make a final explanation.

"This, what can we do?" he murmured.

Envoy Sun said in a low voice: "Prime Minister Zuo must not panic. The country cannot be without a king for a day. This court needs people to support it."

"What are you holding on for? There are still people everywhere." Lu Zuoxiang said.

The little prince is fake, your majesty has no heirs, what's wrong with the Li dynasty, it's not right.

Prime Minister Lu Zuo's eyes were fixed, and he turned to look at the bed. In addition to the officials standing beside the bed, there was also a young man kneeling in front of the bed. He did not disturb the emperor and the officials when they were talking, but only looked at the emperor with concern. Wipe the corners of his mouth and caress his chest from time to time.

No, the royal family did have an heir. It was not Bai Ying who gave birth to a prince, but Shangguan Yue who became Li Yu.

No wonder Xuanyangzi said there was no critical moment.

Prime Minister Lu Zuo relaxed his shoulders. Indeed, it was only the current emperor who was in danger, not the Li dynasty.

There is someone to follow the dynasty, so there is no need to worry.

Princess Jinyu stopped pacing and looked at the chamberlain who had returned from inquiring about the news again.

"His Majesty, Lu Zuoxiang and others are all here. Your Majesty is holding himself up to interrogate the remnants of Concubine Bai."

"Concubine Bai colluded with Zhang Ze and replaced the princess she gave birth to with a prince. The little prince was fake. His biological parents were also here, and they looked exactly the same."

The chamberlain brought more detailed news and glanced at Shangguan's consort.

"The King of Chu has also been with His Majesty. They all said that it was the King of Chu who was able to stop Concubine Bai's conspiracy in time this time."

Thinking that Li Yu had been told not to enter the palace before, which showed that Li Yu had been prepared for what happened today, Shangguan's consort sighed in relief: "I don't know if he was injured."

It doesn't matter whether Li Yu is injured or not. What matters is the emperor. Princess Jinyu snorted coldly, and then said: "What Concubine Bai, Bai Shi, a thief woman."

The chamberlain hurriedly corrected himself: "Yes, yes, the thief, the remnants of the thief have been arrested, and the imperial guards are continuing to investigate in the palace." At this point, his face was panicked, "Princess, you have to testify for me, this slave is not Concubine Bai's." People, otherwise they wouldn’t be assigned to be palace servants here.”

Princess Jinyu shouted: "Shut up."

The hall fell silent.

Princess Jinyu paced again, her expression changing for a moment.

"Your Majesty is indeed injured?" she asked the chamberlain.

The chamberlain nodded: "This slave saw a bloodstained scarf being taken out."

Princess Jinyu stopped.

The traitorous wife is dead, the young prince is fake, His Majesty is seriously injured, outsiders are unreliable, and now the emperor can only rely on himself.

They are biological siblings, and she is also part of the Li family.

As for Li Yu, everyone knows that she saved him and gave him a chance to live. She is his elder and cannot be disobeyed.

Previously he could use the emperor's power to suppress her, but now he has no chance to do so.

Princess Jinyu looked at the closed palace door with twinkling eyes.

So, now in this court, it's time for her, the eldest princess, to do her best for the Li family.

"Open the palace door," she said, "I want to see Your Majesty."

The waiters responded and hurriedly moved the tables and chairs against the door.

"Princess." Shangguan's consort called from behind.

Princess Jinyu turned around, because Shangguan's consort didn't make any more noise and rushed out. The servants who controlled him all stepped back to open the door.

"I have something to tell you." Shangguan's consort said.

Princess Jinyu frowned: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later. I have important things to do now." After that, she stepped forward.

"Princess!" Shangguan's consort stood up and shouted, "Didn't you promise not to keep any male pets? Then what happened to the attendants who were in your dormitory a few days ago!"

This sudden loud sound startled Princess Jinyu, and the servants who opened the door outside the palace also looked over in surprise.

Male favorite?

But for the princess, this is nothing unusual.

The prince consort and the princess still have to quarrel over this after such a long time.

"Shangguan Xue! Don't go crazy with me!" Princess Jinyu shouted angrily, pointing at him, "I'm busy with business now, I won't argue with you!"

After that, he walked out again.

"Don't leave!" Shangguan's consort shouted, rushing over to stop Princess Jinyu, "You must tell me clearly today. Why did you go back on your word when you clearly agreed? Why do you want to raise a man again!"

Princess Jinyu laughed angrily: "Shangguan Xue? The first day you knew I raised a man? You have been with me for more than 20 years."

Shangguan's consort nodded: "Yes, I have been with you for more than twenty years, and I have been putting up with you. Today, I don't want to put up with it anymore, and I won't allow you to do this again."

Princess Jinyu sneered: "You are worthy of me—"

Before she finished speaking, Shangguan's consort suddenly pulled her into his arms.

"I am your husband, of course I can take care of it!" Shangguan's consort shouted.

Princess Jinyu shouted angrily: "Go away - ah -"

Just as she was about to scold, her voice was suddenly cut off, her expression froze with disdain and anger, and her face was distorted the next moment.

She made a gurgling sound in her mouth, lowered her head and looked in front of her. A sword penetrated from behind, and blood flowed along the patterns on the sword, bright red and dazzling.

When the waiters outside saw the couple quarreling, they looked away and pretended not to know, and continued to open the door. At this time, the door finally opened, and they suddenly heard Princess Jinyu's scream and looked over again.

Shangguan's consort blocked Princess Jinyu. They only saw the couple pulling together. They didn't know what happened and didn't step forward.

"You, you, you dare-" Princess Jinyu coughed twice, raised her head, and looked at Shangguan's consort in disbelief.

Shangguan's consort looked at her and whispered: "Princess, do you still remember this sword?" Before Princess Jinyu could speak, a smile appeared on his lips, "You forced me to marry you then, and you threw down this sword and let me choose. I obey you or I kill myself."

At that time, he was young and timid, panicked and didn't know what to do. He was unwilling to obey orders and didn't dare to die. He didn't dare to live or die, and he lived in confusion for so many years.

"Actually, I thought about it. Besides listening to you and me committing suicide, there is another option."

Shangguan's consort looked at Princess Jinyu.

"Then pick up that sword and kill you."

"Although it's been so long, I still picked up this sword."

Princess Jinyu looked at him, her expression changing from shock to anger to pain and horror. She grabbed Shangguan Prince Consort's arm and tried to free herself, but Shangguan Prince Consort was a man after all, and he was very strong. At this time, he tried his best. Princess Jinyu is like a trapped bird, struggling in vain

"Save, spare, spare my life—"

Princess Jinyu looked at Shangguan's consort with pleading eyes, wanting to beg for mercy, but she was speechless and blood kept pouring out of her mouth -

Why is she dying?

How could she die at this time?

Her good days are about to begin!

She is a princess!

Princess Jinyu's eyes widened and gradually became blurred.

At the same time, the chamberlains outside the palace finally realized something was wrong. Two chamberlains rushed over to pull away the consort, but they saw blood dripping on the ground. They looked up again and saw the sword of Princess Jinyu being held by Shangguan's consort. Penetration from behind—

They let out a scream, fell to the ground, and immediately rolled and crawled out.

"Come quickly, the princess has been killed—"

"The prince-in-law killed the princess—"

In an instant, all the servants here rushed out, but no one came forward to rescue the princess.

Shangguan's consort looked at the lifeless Princess Jinyu in his arms, with a smile on his face.

But the next moment, dense footsteps sounded outside the palace.

Now that the emperor is in danger, thousands of soldiers and horses from the cavalry camp have been mobilized to search and enforce martial law. Any movement here will immediately attract soldiers and guards.

Shangguan's consort looked towards the palace gate, he couldn't be caught, he couldn't, it would make Li Yu in trouble.

He hugged Princess Jinyu, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and exerted force again.

With a popping sound, the **** sword tip suddenly pierced Princess Jinyu's heart into his heart.

More intense blood flowers bloomed on the ground.

The emperor lay on the couch, drank the detoxifying medicine and vomited, feeling groggy.

There was a noise outside the hall, but it was stopped instantly. "shut up."

"I can't tell His Majesty now, His Majesty can't be provoked."

The emperor opened his eyes. His mind was buzzing now. It seemed that he was separated from the outside world by a layer of veil, but it was so clear that he could hear even one more step in the palace.

"Hide it from me?" He yelled tremblingly, his expression twisted, "Whoever wants to deceive me, kill him! Kill him!"

Prime Minister Lu Zuo immediately shouted and asked people from outside to come in to answer. The officials from outside came in with two trembling chamberlains, and they fell to their knees on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Princess Jinyu has been killed."

"Princess Jinyu was killed by the consort in Baihua Palace—"

Although they had already experienced something shocking today, everyone in the palace was shocked again when they heard the words of the chamberlain.

How about Princess Jinyu!

Shangguan's consort, who has always followed the princess in a submissive manner, dared to kill the princess?

Why kill the princess?

Also, when did Princess Jinyu enter the palace?

"Princess Jinyu was also brought in by Concubine Bai's edict, but she didn't come here. She went to Baihua Palace first." An official said suddenly while looking through the evidence he had just inquired about.

I see.

The emperor shuddered and gave a hoarse laugh.

"Comrade!" he shouted, "Comrade of Bai's family—kill him, kill him—"

Is Shangguan's consort a comrade of Bai Ying? Everyone in the hall was stunned.

Someone stood up and rushed out like a sharp arrow.

It is Li Yu, King of Chu.

Princess Chu, who had been silent the next moment, also got up and ran out, following Li Yu.

It wasn't until the two figures disappeared that everyone in the palace came back to their senses.

"The King of Chu was rescued and raised by a princess. What a sad news." Many officials sighed in a low voice.

How could it be?

He didn't specifically warn against the consort's arrival.

but.

The prince-in-law was concerned about him. He must have guessed that something was going on in the palace after hearing the reminder. How could he not come?

However, why did the consort kill Princess Jinyu?

No matter why, now is not the time to pursue this matter. Just kill him. He must find a way to keep the prince-in-law!

Accompanied by noisy and chaotic thoughts, Li Yu quickly saw Baihua Palace, which was surrounded by soldiers. The leading soldier was about to stop him, but was reminded by a soldier beside him, "It's the King of Chu."

The leader of the guard hesitated for a moment, but did not stop him, allowing Li Yu to rush in. His vision immediately blurred again, as if the shadow cast by Li Yu flashed past.

"Consort—" Li Yu stepped into the palace gate and shouted.

The soldiers standing in front of the palace stepped aside, revealing two people lying on the ground, and blood all over the ground.

Li Yu's feet went weak, but fortunately Bai Li, who was closely following him, helped him. He staggered and rushed over.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the princess and the consort died together." A soldier guard said.

Another soldier said: "The prince-in-law is still alive, but there is no need to call in the imperial doctor."

Li Yu could no longer hear what the guards said. He fell to his knees in a pool of blood and touched Shangguan's consort's face with trembling hands.

"Consort, consort," he called.

Shangguan's consort's face was pale in a pool of blood, and his chest, which was strung together by the sword and Princess Jinyu, rose and fell slightly. Hearing the call, he recognized Li Yu and slowly opened his eyes.

"Ayue." He murmured, "Don't worry, I don't feel any pain."

The prince-in-law hadn't called him by his nickname for a long time, and at this time, what he cared about most was that he was worried, and Li Yu burst into tears instantly.

"I'm here." Bai Li whispered in his ear, "You can talk as you like."

Li Yu glanced at Bai Li, who was standing next to him, and noticed that the soldiers and guards around him looked dazed, obviously in a dreamland.

He glanced at her gratefully and held the consort's hand. Seeing that the consort's hand was still tightly holding the hilt of the sword, Li Yu could imagine what happened at that time.

"Why, Prince Consort, why are you doing this?" He said, "I know you hate her, don't worry, I will avenge you when I become the emperor, I will get rid of him and free you, you can endure it a little longer , bear with it.”

Shangguan's consort actually couldn't quite hear what he said. He only heard Ren Yiren and shook his head.

"I can't bear it. It's so easy for you to regain your identity. Today, you are finally done. We can't let her embarrass you anymore." He murmured, "She has nothing, but she has such a born noble identity. Dominate others and be superior.”

He let out a laugh at this.

"No matter how noble your status is, it's just flesh and blood, and a sword can kill you."

"It turns out that it's so easy to kill them."

"I should have killed her, maybe."

Maybe Mrs. Du Sanni doesn't have to be plotted and doesn't have to marry the prince, can she marry him?

Shangguan's consort looked disappointed, he couldn't.

If he kills the princess, he and the Shangguan family will die without a burial place. How can he harm Lady Du San?

In the final analysis, he and she were destined to be together.

"Shangguan School."

There was a voice in my ears.

The Shangguan Prince Consort was startled, then turned around and saw a girl behind the big willow tree holding a round fan in her hand, half covering her face, and looking at him with a smile on her face.

Although only one eye was exposed, Shangguanxue recognized her immediately and murmured: "Sister-in-law."

The girl looked at him with a smile: "Shangguan Xue, you have been sitting here in a daze for half a day, what are you thinking about?"

What are you thinking about? Well, I seem to be thinking about something terrible, but what? I can't remember it for a moment. Shangguanxue couldn't help but look at his feet. He was sitting by the lake. The clear spring water reflected his young figure.

"Shangguan Xue, are you still in a daze? Didn't you say you wanted to fly a kite with me?"

The girl's angry voice came.

Shangguanxue looked back at her and remembered that a few days ago, he had made an appointment with the **** the swing across the wall to go out and fly a kite together.

For young men and women, this is a big deal.

Shangguanxue put aside those things that he couldn't think clearly about and walked quickly to Mrs. Du Sanni's side.

"I'm coming," he said with a smile.

Mrs. Du Sanni put down her fan and smiled brightly: "What were you thinking about just now? You look dumb."

Shangguanxue breathed out: "I had a nightmare just now, dreaming that you and I—"

The girl immediately blushed and turned around shyly: "How can you dream randomly? You and I have nothing to do with each other."

Shangguanxue nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, nothing happened to you and me. We are both fine."

The girl Huaichun, her heart beat loudly just by hearing the word "we", she blushed and stamped her feet: "Ignore you." Step forward first.

Shangguan said something like "Hey", then looked back at the lake. In the previous nightmare, he was actually separated from Sanniangzi. It was really terrible.

Fortunately, it was a nightmare.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the girl running lightly in front of him, with a smile on his face.

"Sanniang, wait for me."

"I bought you a big butterfly kite."

"I thought of a nice name. In the future, well, in the future, we will have a child."

He trotted after him and whispered to the girl. The girl was so coquettish that she beat him with a fan.

Boys and girls were playing, walking side by side and disappearing into the spring light.

The hand that was holding the sword hilt finally loosened its grip, and fell to the ground as if a heavy burden had been lifted off.

Li Yu looked at the fallen hand and hurriedly grabbed it, trying to get him to hold it tightly again, just like how he held it tightly when he was brought out of the fire.

But in vain.

Those hands were so weak that they could no longer hold things in the world.

Li Yu raised his head and roared, then laid his head heavily on the ground. Blood stained his head and face, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Father," he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Father—"

Bai Li sighed softly, hugged the child tightly in his arms, leaned over and reached out to gently touch Shangguanxue's open eyes.

A big dream is over.
