White Fence Dream

Chapter 224 Something happened
problem occurs.

Mrs. Zhu's ears were buzzing.

At that time, she brought three women to the dressing room. There were many people at the banquet and many people here, so there was only one room left vacant.

The three women went in. Madam Zhu sat on a round stool in the corridor, and the maid Jin chatted with her. Perhaps it was because the bronze crane incense next to them was too strong, but Madam Zhu could not help but sneeze violently several times and tears flowed down her face.

"Madam, please come to the bathroom and clean up first." The maid Jin said hurriedly.

Not only was her posture indecent, but after a few sneezes, Mrs. Zhu also felt like going to the bathroom, so she hurriedly followed him into the bathroom next door.

When I came out of the bathroom, I heard the laughter of the women in the bathroom next door.

"The young ladies haven't come out yet." said the golden maiden.

The young women were more concerned about their appearance. Mrs. Zhu nodded with a smile and sat down on the round stool. Soon the door opened and two young women came out.

Mrs. Zhu stood up with a smile frozen on her face.

Three people went in, why did only two come out?

"Nineteenth Lady said to go to the purification room..."

"She came out first..."

"Didn't the lady see her?"

Mrs. Zhu's heart sank as she listened to the two women's words.

……

.......
"What happened?"

Accompanied by knocking sounds, Madam Zhu pushed open the doors of a row of toilets one by one. The women or young ladies inside were all startled. When they recognized it was Madam Zhu, they looked even more surprised and asked questions one after another.

Mrs. Zhu said that everything was fine, but her face was gloomy. Having lived for most of her life, she knew that something had happened. It started when she was spilled with wine at the banquet. No, it started before she entered the palace.

Their Zhu family was plotted against.

She turned to look at the golden maid who was following her, her eyes obscure: "Who is it?"

The maidservant Jin had a stiff face, and seemed puzzled: "What is the madam talking about?" She knelt down hurriedly, looking panicked, "It was my negligence." She urged the palace maids who had gathered around, "Go and find out where Miss Zhu has gone." She gestured again.

After all, it is impossible for everyone in the palace to know each other, especially the young ladies.

Perhaps seeing the gesture of the Golden Maid, a palace maid suddenly stood up and said with a look of realization: "I just saw that young lady. She has already returned to the palace."

After saying that, he pointed.

The Jin maid breathed a sigh of relief: "She went back." She looked at Madam Zhu again and said with a smile, "Madam, she went back..."

Madam Zhu looked at her and sneered, then pushed her away and strode into the hall.

"What's going on here?"

"Miss Zhu is missing?"

There were discussions all around, and many people followed up to ask questions, some were concerned, some were trying to please, and some were even making eye contact to watch the fun.

Madam Zhu ignored all of them and just looked towards the main hall, holding her hands tightly in front of her. Was it the emperor? Was it the princess? Which powerful family? Her heart was boiling like water. Just as she walked to the corridor of the main hall, a woman's scream broke through the sound of drums and music.

"Ayao——" Mrs. Zhu let out a hoarse cry and ran towards the sound.

……

……

"What happened?"

The outside of the hall was crowded with people, but as the eunuchs and guards poured out of the hall, the crowd retreated again.

The emperor strode out and stood in front of the warm room on the side of the palace.

The warm room was closed tightly, and the door was surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, all of them looking pale and panic-stricken.

The screams and sobs of the woman inside continued, mixed with Mrs. Zhu's soothing voice: "Mother is here, don't be afraid--"

The palace maids and eunuchs trembled in their voices to the emperor, "Madam Zhu, Madam Zhu won't let anyone in."

Mrs. Zhu knew that the emperor had arrived, and she raised her voice, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The children were arguing and their behavior was not decent. I will explain to Your Majesty after everything is sorted out."

Quarrel? Did Miss Zhu have a quarrel with someone?

It is also possible that the women of the Great Zhou have always been spoiled and would resort to violence if they had a dispute.

The young women were indecently behaved, so the emperor naturally had to avoid suspicion, especially since it was Madam Zhu who spoke up. The emperor quickly responded and turned to disperse the onlookers. At this time, another sharp female voice rang out.

"What did you say? The King of Chu is here!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place froze and all eyes turned to the person who spoke.

Princess Jinyu was standing at the back, with a eunuch with a dull look on his face.

Noticing everyone's gazes, Princess Jin Yu seemed to finally react and slapped the eunuch: "You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about!"

The slap made the eunuch kneel down, and he seemed to wake up. He looked up at Princess Jin Yu, and the next moment he kowtowed fiercely: "Princess, I am not talking nonsense. His Highness was drunk just now. I sent him here to rest. I just went to cook some sobering soup..."

Princess Jinyu kicked him to the ground and said, "Shut up!"

The eunuch fell to the ground and said nothing.

But it was too late. There was silence outside the palace. Everyone's eyes turned back to the outside of the warm room. The sobbing of the woman in the warm room became clearer, mixed with Mrs. Zhu's anxious comfort, "With mother here, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

Everyone's expressions became complicated.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is here too?

So, it wasn't a quarrel between the ladies at all, but that Miss Zhu and the drunk King of Chu were in the same room...

Everyone saw what the drunk King of Chu did just now. It would have been fine if it was just a maid, but the young lady from the Zhu family was a lady from a famous family. The emperor's face became stiff and then turned ashen.

"Everyone get out of the way!" he shouted.

The people watching nearby hurriedly retreated, but people who had just heard the news continued to flock in, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

"Your Majesty..." Bai Ying also came over after hearing the news. She walked to the emperor with an anxious look on her face, "I will go in and take a look..."

Princess Jin Yu hurriedly said, "Get out of the way, I'm going in!" Without waiting for the emperor's permission, she shouted to the warm room, "Madam Zhu, don't worry, I'm here!" Then she rushed to the warm room, gritting her teeth, "This little beast——"

Isn't this just adding to the chaos? After the door was opened, the warm room was so small that if the people inside were seen, there would be no room for maneuver. The emperor hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop them, but Bai Ying happened to reach out to support him and held his arm.

The emperor failed to hold Princess Jin Yu back and watched her rush to the door. The eunuchs and palace maids kneeling outside the door did not dare to stop Princess Jin Yu.

Princess Jin Yu stretched out her hand and pushed the door open.

The people who were about to disperse subconsciously leaned over and followed her to look inside—

The door flew open.

It was not pushed open by Princess Jin Yu, but opened from the inside. Princess Jin Yu stumbled and bumped into Madam Zhu.

Madam Zhu looked gloomy as she looked at Princess Jin Yu: "Don't bother Princess, I have already comforted the child."

Princess Jin Yu raised her eyebrows: "Even if Madam Zhu is magnanimous, she must be punished if she makes a mistake! Li Yu—"

She shouted and looked inside.

"Princess, you want to see His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu?" Madam Zhu interrupted her in a high voice, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is not here!"

The King of Chu is not here?

Everyone was stunned. Why was Princess Jin Yu shouting and announcing to the world?
Impossible! Princess Jin Yu pushed Madam Zhu away and said, "Madam, please don't save face for us—" She stepped into the room, and the next moment her voice paused and her face froze.

The emperor subconsciously looked over and saw a young woman kneeling on the ground in the small warm room. Madam Zhu and Princess Jin Yu were standing inside. The warm room suddenly became crowded and could not accommodate another person. There was no one else.

There is indeed no King of Chu.

"Where is he!" Princess Jin Yu shouted, looking at the eunuch outside the door.

The eunuch was still kneeling on the ground, his face was pale and his eyes were distracted. "I don't know. I brought His Highness in and I personally helped him in..."

He seemed to be back to the moment just now, the swaying figures, the joyful drums, the heavy weight on the young prince's shoulders, and the maid beside him whispering, "Is this the place?"

He nodded: "Yes, here, there is a warm room."

The maid took over the conversation: "This warm room did not exist originally. It was specially separated by Empress Jiang. It used to be a window for placing flower stands..."

Yes, yes, the eunuch raised his head and saw the hall was tall, deep and wide in the dusk. A window appeared in front of him. There were eunuchs walking around and palace maids chatting and laughing. However, the palace maids wore high buns, which seemed to have been popular a long time ago...

The maid with a high bun suddenly leaned over and hugged the prince who was half on him.

"We're here. You go open the door and I'll support His Highness," she said.

The eunuch said "oh" and the window disappeared from his sight, replaced by a small door. He hurried forward and pushed it open, watching the maid drag Li Yu in and put him on the small couch.

"Okay, I'm going back to the princess." The maid whispered, "You stay outside."

The eunuch looked at the young man lying on the couch, illuminated by the dusk light and shadow. The maid turned around and looked at him in the light and shadow: "Do you remember what to do next?"

Of course I remember! The eunuch thought, he stood guard outside the door, letting others see his dedication, and then pretended to be scolded by the drunk Li Yu. He hurried to find the hangover soup, and no one was on duty here. Miss Zhu was successfully sent in, and then a maid screamed, and everyone gathered around. His Highness and Miss Zhu were found in dishevel...

then……

Princess Jin Yu slapped him on the face.

What he needs to say now is...

The eunuch raised his head and said, "Your Highness has been here all the time. Your Highness is drunk and uncomfortable. I went to make a hangover soup. I don't know what happened..."

"Where is His Highness!" Princess Jin Yu shouted.

What he said was what was agreed upon in advance, but why didn't the princess say it? The eunuch was panicked, looking at the warm room in front of him, confused and puzzled.

Yes, where is His Highness?

"I, I don't know..."

Madam Zhu took over the conversation in a deep voice: "Princess, you remembered the wrong place. My son has been here alone all the time."

She stared at Princess Jin Yu with an undisguised warning in her eyes.

Warning Princess Jin Yu whether she really wanted to break off relations with their Zhu family. She had already understood by now that it was the princess who was framing her family.

Princess Jin Yu was not frightened by Mrs. Zhu's eyes. She was just so shocked and annoyed that she couldn't speak for a while.

At this point, even if no one is around, she will hold on to the Zhu family.

"Did His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu leave first?" Princess Jin Yu looked at Madam Zhu and gritted her teeth and said, "Madam Zhu, please don't hide it for him. I can't tolerate him doing anything wrong."

Mrs. Zhu looked at her and said "good" a few times, "You are so good, Princess Jinyu!"

"Thank you for your concern, Princess." She gritted her teeth and said, "I am not the kind of person who condones evil people, but the King of Chu has never seen it."

No matter what, at this moment in public, there is no King of Chu here, and Princess Jin Yu can't ruin her family's reputation even if she goes crazy!
Princess Jin Yu naturally knew it, but she didn't know what to say for a moment, then a voice came from outside.

"No? Then why was Miss Zhu so frightened? Who scared her?"

Hearing this, Madam Zhu looked over fiercely at the woman standing next to the emperor.

White Concubine!

Mrs. Zhu gritted her teeth and said, "So you exist!"
Bai Ying didn't look at Madam Zhu. She held the emperor's arm and looked at Miss Zhu lying on the ground with concern and worry.

"You see, sire, the child is frightened and terrified," she said in a trembling voice.

After hearing her words, the emperor and the people around him all looked at Miss Zhu.

The girl's clothes were disheveled, she covered her face and sobbed, her body trembling constantly. She seemed to be in fear and was unaware of what was happening around her.

It was indeed a big shock.

It wouldn't be like this for no reason, something must have happened...

There were whispers and complicated looks all around.

Bai Ying pursed her lips and saw that Princess Jin Yu's eyes became fierce again, and she had the strength to bite again.

Alas, without her help, what could this stupid princess accomplish?

But Mrs. Zhu suddenly smiled.

"Madam Bai, do you really want to know who scared our little girl?" she said.

Is this old woman going crazy now that she has nowhere else to turn?

"I am worried." Bai Ying said softly, "As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it..."

"Okay! I'll tell you!" Madam Zhu interrupted her, her voice rising, "My daughter was frightened by Empress Yang!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place froze.

Queen Yang?
The dead Queen Yang!

It turns out that it’s not a matter of a single man and a single woman, it’s actually haunted!

……

……

haunted.

Standing behind the crowd and watching this scene, Zhang Ze, who had been frowning, suddenly understood.

The next moment his eyes became gloomy again.

Oh no, this time, while the mantis is stalking the cicada, there is also an oriole behind it.
