White Fence Dream

Chapter 209 He Wants
Although he doesn’t cry easily like the little Li Yu in the dream, he is as easy to coax as little Li Yu.

Although the young man in front of him had a cold expression again, unlike before, there was an unconcealable smile in his eyes.

Bai Li smiled: "You don't have to be deliberate. In front of me, you can smile if you want to, and you can stay silent if you don't want to. It's all good." Then he looked at the food table and pointed to him, "Look, this is a new dish I asked them to add. I've eaten it on the street before. Try it."

Are they all good looking? That's good. Li Yu smiled and picked up the chopsticks to eat as he was told. He nodded, "It's really delicious." He sighed again, "Sure enough, you paid more attention to the building ship."

Bai Li raised an eyebrow: "You can just say that I love to eat and be greedy."

"How can this be called greed?" Li Yu shook his head. "I have no appetite due to the hardships I have experienced, but you are different. You still like to try the delicacies of the world."

He gestured with his hand.

"It shows that you have a bigger heart than I do."

Bai Li laughed out loud.

People who love to cry and get angry are also good at making others happy.

"Okay, that's enough. No need to praise me or say good things about me anymore. We are not angry with each other anymore. This matter is over." She said, pointing at the food table, "Eat quickly, eat quickly. I'm really hungry."

"I'm telling the truth." Li Yu smiled, but didn't say anything else. He picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

After a quick breakfast, Li Yu recalled Bai Li's experiences over the past two days: "The child was swapped, but it was not discovered at the time, and it was indeed difficult to expose them afterwards."

Zhang Ze still holds power. If he reports this to the emperor, he will say that Bai Ying was framed.

Those pregnant women were in Zhang Ze's hands, and there were no witnesses or physical evidence.

Bai Li's identity is also troublesome. She is the young daughter of Bai Xun who fled and the young lady of Dongyang Marquis who faked her death. She has no credibility in front of the emperor. If she comes forward to testify, not only will she be dragged away and beheaded, but Zhou Jingyun's family will also suffer a bad ending.

"It's good that the little princess is still alive. As long as she is alive, she will always have the chance to recognize her biological parents."

"Although it doesn't matter whether you recognize that kind of mother or not." Bai Li said, raising his eyebrows again, "But if there is a chance, I still have to recognize her."

Li Yu looked at her and smiled: "Otherwise, wouldn't that make that mother's wish come true?"

Bai Li laughed, pointed at himself and then at him: "Or else, we are the same."

"Sure enough, they are not good people." Li Yu smiled and took over the conversation again.

Thinking back to when they still thought Bai Li was a ghost, they had said the same thing. Now they were saying the same thing again. Moreover, this time, she was no longer meeting him secretly, nor was she someone else's wife...

Someone else's wife.

Li Yu thought of a key person in the process she had just described.

"Where is the little princess now in the place where Zhou Jingyun has settled down?" he asked.

Bai Li nodded: "He is very reliable."

Li Yu gently squeezed the hand hanging at his side and nodded, "Yes, you can tell from his sincerity towards you that he will protect the little princess." He added, "Fortunately, the prince was there at the time. If it were me, even if you told me in advance, I might not have done as well as he did."

Bai Li smiled and said, "No, if you were here, it would be even more powerful for us. We might have exposed Zhang Ze and Bai Ying's conspiracy right then."

I feel a little regretful when I say this.

"That may be the case."

Li Yu thought about the word "we" she said, and felt regretful. He was not among us...

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have gone to the imperial mausoleum," he said.

Bai Li smiled and said, "There is no such thing as knowing in advance. We can only deal with it as it comes. Don't think about it. Go back now or do something to deal with the aftermath." He yawned and said, "I need to rest for a while."

Li Yu smiled and nodded, looked at her and hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Bai Li asked.

Li Yu looked at her and smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, you take a rest first."

Bai Li smiled and waved at him, then turned and walked towards the inner room. Li Yu called for someone to clean up the table, and stood there in a daze until Cai Songnian couldn't wait to poke his head in from outside the door.

"Sir," he called, glancing at the closed door of the inner room, "Anything else you want to say?"

There was nothing to say, but just now, when Bai Li told him to go to rest, he suddenly wanted to hug her again.

When he hugged her before, she didn't push him away, but reached out and hugged him.

However, she was anxious and worried before, and excited about getting what she had lost, so what would she think if he hugged her again now?
And why did he want to hug her?

When he heard that she was missing, he was really anxious, sad and scared.

The moment he saw her appear at the door and rushed over to hug her, he felt more secure and happy than ever before.

I just wish that moment lasted forever.

What does it mean to be with someone forever?
"Young Master?" Cai Songnian called again, frowning at Li Yu. What did the woman say just now? The young master's face was no longer gloomy and scary, but he was absent-minded...

Li Yu hummed and walked out without saying anything, then turned around and gently closed the door with his own hands.

Cai Songnian put the hood on him. Although it was safe on the ship, it was already daybreak, and there were people coming and going on the dock, and there were many boats on the river. If someone were to recognize him, it would be bad for the young master to say that he was guarding the tomb, but he appeared on the ship.

"Sir, what did she say?" Cai Songnian asked. Without waiting for Li Yu to answer, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "She is really too much. You treated her sincerely, but she just did what she wanted. She is so mean..."

Before Wu Ruo could finish his words, Li Yu, who was distracted, interrupted him in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, what she did is very relevant to me!"

Cai Songnian was stunned. What happened?

Li Yu glanced at him and said, "This matter is of great importance. I will tell you later."

She? What could she do that was so important? Cai Songnian was puzzled. Could it be that she said a few nice words to deceive the young master? Looking at Li Yu's slightly raised mouth corners under the hood, his eyebrows were bright and cheerful. It was just breakfast time, and the young master became like this.

The indulgence of a scholar is beyond description.

This sentence popped up in Cai Songnian's mind again.

This Bai Li used to be the young lady of the Marquis of Dongyang. I don't know how she deceived that Prince Zhou and he actually dared to hide her.

Now the young master is like this again.

This woman is indeed not to be underestimated.

Cai Songnian had all sorts of wild thoughts, but there was nothing he could do. Perhaps it would be better to wait until the young master got married and had something settled.

"Sir." He did not ask any more questions, but only reminded, "The return trip has been arranged. You can reach the imperial mausoleum before dark, and the palace gate has been left open, so that no one will notice you when you come out of the mausoleum tomorrow morning."

Li Yu shook his head: "I won't go back yet. I'll go see the princess." Then he smiled again and looked towards the direction of the imperial city, "Then I'll go see His Majesty."

Cai Songnian was a little surprised: "Sir, are you going to see His Majesty at this time?"

He said he would guard the imperial mausoleum, but within a few days he ran back. He can't stand any hardship and is untrustworthy.

And now that the emperor has a little prince, it’s not good for him, the former eldest grandson of the emperor, to run back... right?

"No, it's better now." Li Yu smiled, "I'll run back after a prince is born. If a little princess is born, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back from the imperial mausoleum."

As an adult member of the royal family, the eldest grandson of the emperor who was once loved by the late emperor, and his father being the late crown prince, the late crown prince's status as a member of the royal family was also restored.

If Bai Ying gave birth to a princess and the emperor still had no prince, then the emperor would definitely be suspicious of him as a grown-up royal child.

He only has Princess Jin Yu to rely on, so his situation will be very difficult. No matter what he does, he will be watched, which is very dangerous.

Now that the emperor has a prince, he can breathe a sigh of relief. His situation will be easier, and he will have more opportunities to strengthen himself, and then...
The smile on Li Yu's face faded. He was so lucky.

Who gave him good luck?
He turned his head to look at the door, and the image of Bai Li imitating the way he lowered his mouth, as if making a face, appeared in front of him again.

The ghost’s face was like jade, his eyes were like stars, and he was clear and lovely.
