White Fence Dream

Chapter 225 Lost
Singing, dancing and drumming sounded again in the Linde Hall, and the guests gathered outside the hall were driven back to their seats, but this did not resume the banquet, and everyone was talking in a low voice.

"What the hell?"

"It is said that Empress Yang..."

"Is this true? How is this possible?!"

……

……

"Mrs. Zhu! You can't keep your words to yourself, and you can't say anything careless!"

In the side hall, Princess Jin Yu raised her eyebrows and said.

She didn't believe this nonsense.

Prime Minister Zhu was as cunning as a devil. He was able to deceive the Queen Mother Jiang and supported Prince Changyang to force the emperor to abdicate. Naturally, his wife was not a good person either.

Miss Zhu must have been in the same room with Li Yu, but this old guy bumped into her first. I don’t know what means he used to get rid of her, and then he said it was a ghost in front of everyone.

You dare to say that the ghost is the queen.

Crafty old woman!

"It's a bright and clear day, where did this ghost come from?"

Bai Ying sat beside the emperor with a pale face. She no longer questioned Madam Zhu. Her eyes were slightly red as she whispered, "Is the queen really back? She came to see His Majesty, right?"

The emperor's face turned pale. Hearing this, he flicked his sleeves and took a step forward.

"If Ayuan comes back, she should see me, why is she seeing this kid? This kid hasn't seen the queen many times before, right?"

"No matter what happens to Madam, I will definitely make the decision for you and will never tolerate or protect anyone."

He stood in front of Mrs. Zhu with a sincere expression.

"Madam, you and the Prime Minister have been so kind to me. In my heart, no one can compare to you!"

This undoubtedly clearly stated that even if it was Li Yu, the emperor would not let the Zhu family suffer any injustice.

Having said that, Madam Zhu looked at the emperor and bowed solemnly: "Your Majesty, I will never lie to you. My daughter really did run into the queen."

"Madam!" The emperor could no longer suppress his temper and shouted, "Words are not enough!"

He looked angry.

"The Queen is not someone you can just use as an excuse!"

"She is no longer here! I will never allow anyone to trample on her!"

Madam Zhu knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Princess Jin Yu sneered and said, "Well, even if you escape her plan this time and anger His Majesty, your Zhu family will have no good days in the future."

"Your Majesty! I did not lie!"

Miss Zhu, who had been kneeling on the ground, suddenly spoke. She raised her head, her face was frightened but her eyes were firm.

"I have evidence!"

Is there evidence?! The Emperor, Bai Ying, and Princess Jin Yu were all stunned. Even Madam Zhu, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at her daughter with some surprise.

Although she argued hard with Princess Jin Yu, Concubine Bai and the Emperor, she actually didn't quite believe what her daughter said, but she simply couldn't back down at this point.

How come there is really evidence?

Miss Zhu looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I just got lost..."

……

……

She must have lost her way.

Although it may sound strange to say this, the Linde Hall is very large, but it is just a hall.

Besides, it was a banquet and there were people everywhere, how could he get lost?

But why didn't she see anyone else when she walked through the alley?

"This sister..."

She looked at the palace maid in front of her and suddenly felt that the maid was also a little strange.

Of course, she didn't recognize or remember the palace maids in the wing room. The so-called strangeness referred to their makeup.

The palace maid was wearing a light pink high skirt and had her hair combed into a high spiral bun. When she heard the call, she turned around. Her face was pale, her eyebrows were thick, and her hair was decorated with curling cloud flowers.

"What's the matter?" she asked with a smile.

"Your makeup..." Miss Zhu murmured.

The maid smiled and touched her face with her hand: "My blush is not applied well? I just started learning, everyone likes this."

No, no one likes this kind of slanted red anymore. It was the preference of women decades ago.

Miss Zhu was stunned. Looking at the palace maid's smile, she felt a chill.

"You guys, don't wander around there—"

A voice was heard, and Miss Zhu looked up and saw two eunuchs standing outside the hall in front.

Is that the Linde Hall?
Miss Zhu was surprised again, why is it so shabby? She hurried to look for the palace maid, but she was gone. This——

"I'm talking to you! Go away quickly and don't hang around here!" the eunuch shouted again.

Miss Zhu was scared, panicked and at a loss. She didn't know where to go. She was clearly in the veranda room dressing up when a palace maid came in and said that her mother was in the bathroom and asked her to help tidy up her dress. She followed the maid.

The palace maid said there was a passage that led directly to the purification room and led her in.

Then she didn't remember what happened, she came here, and now the palace maid was gone.

"Hey, which palace are you from?"

A clear and beautiful girl's voice was heard. Miss Zhu looked down and saw a girl of about six or seven years old standing in front of her.

Miss Zhu subconsciously took a step back.

The little girl frowned: "Have you seen where the Sixth Prince has gone?"

Who is the Sixth Prince? Miss Zhu became even more nervous. The Emperor just had a prince...

"Sister Ayuan!" A crying voice was heard.

Miss Zhu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a chubby boy of five or six years old walking out of the dilapidated hall.

"Li Liu! Why are you running around!" the girl stomped her feet and shouted. The boy cried, "I thought you didn't want to play with me anymore."

The girl said unhappily: "I just said a few words to them, and you ran away and didn't return to the palace. My mother scolded me again! Come back with me quickly."

The boy came over timidly and said, "Sister Yuan, please don't refuse to play with me." He stretched out his hand and said, "I made this for you."

Miss Zhu looked over subconsciously and saw the boy holding a straw grasshopper in his hand.

Although rough, it is green and lovely.

The little girl uttered a cry, her eyes full of joy as she took it. The next moment she snorted, "Just give me this. The Third Prince gave me the golden jade ring!"

The boy looked panicked and lowered his head: "I don't have any money..." He then said hastily, "I'll give you whatever I have in the future."

The girl smiled and said, "Then I want to swing, and you push me."

The boy was very happy and said, "Okay, okay."

The swing was swinging in front of the dilapidated temple. The girl stood on the swing, laughing continuously, and the boy pushed it hard, sweating profusely and grinning.

"Xiao Liu, will you give me everything you have in the future?"

"Yes, everything I have is yours."

"Then you will be the emperor, can I be the queen?"

"Of course, of course, I will only let Ayuan be my queen!"

The Queen, Ayuan, the Sixth Prince, and Miss Zhu who was standing next to them suddenly thought of something and her face changed drastically. Just as she was about to shout, the scene in front of her suddenly changed. She was no longer outside the dilapidated hall, but inside a palace.

It is magnificent here, with carved beams and painted pillars.

This is the Queen's Palace, which Miss Zhu is familiar with.

There were fluttering dresses in front of her, and it seemed that the girl was still swinging on the swing. She slowly raised her head and saw a familiar face.

Queen Yang.

Empress Yang's neck was hanging on the white silk, swaying up and down.

A pair of eyes looked at Miss Zhu.

Miss Zhu felt her heart shattered and her chest boiling, rushing up to her throat.

But Queen Yang stopped in front of her and grabbed her hand.

"Tell Li Liu not to forget what he promised me."

Blood flowed from Empress Yang's eyes, mouth and nose.

Miss Zhu could no longer bear it, she closed her eyes, hugged her head, and screamed -

……

……

"Ayao, ayao, mother is here!"

Mrs. Zhu hugged the screaming Miss Zhu and tried to comfort her.

Fortunately, Miss Zhu had already collapsed before, and this time she calmed down quickly and controlled her screaming. Only her body was still shaking.

"You mean you went back to the Linde Hall several decades ago..." the emperor murmured, "and saw me and Ayuan... Yes, at that time the Linde Hall had not been rebuilt yet and was dilapidated. I often hid here..."

Princess Jin Yu's face turned pale and she shouted, "Ridiculous! How could this happen? You are just having a nightmare!"

Miss Zhu raised her head and said, "I thought it was a nightmare, but I found that I had..."

As she spoke, she raised her clenched hands and stretched them out to the emperor.

The emperor looked down and saw a flattened straw in the woman's slender palm.

He subconsciously reached out and picked it up. Even though it was withered and crumpled, he recognized it at the first glance.

This is a straw grasshopper.

The emperor's tears suddenly welled up, blurring his vision.

"Ayuan..."

Bai Ying stood behind the emperor and felt a chill all over his body.

absurd!

absurd!

absurd!

……

……

"This is ridiculous, how could this happen?"

"It's still unclear what's going on."

"But where is His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu?"

There was a lot of discussion in the main hall, and suddenly someone ran in.

"We found the King of Chu!"

Everyone looked over there and found it? Where?
"Beside the Taiye Lake!" the man shouted, "With Prince Zhou!"

Taiye Lake?
Zhou Jingyun?
……

……

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the lake red, and the scene was intoxicating.

When Zhou Jingyun heard the noisy footsteps and shouts behind him, he turned around. His face was shining with a rosy glow, and the eunuch who was running towards him was stunned.

"Prince Zhou..." His shouting voice became light and fluttery.

Zhou Jingyun raised his hand and shushed him, pointing to his side.

"Your Highness is asleep," he said.

The eunuch and the people who followed looked over and saw an outer robe spread on the grass. Li Yu was lying on it on his side, his brows and eyes calm as he slept.

Zhou Jingyun's voice was heard again.

"Don't wake him."
