White Fence Dream

Chapter 235 Close your eyes
Shen Qing lay on the grass and let out a short breath.

Although the blood on his chest became a little redder with this breath, his expression was somewhat relaxed.

"You really don't want me to go see a doctor and try?" Bai Li said.

When she saw the arrow in Shen Qing's chest just now, she immediately wanted to find someone to find a doctor, but was stopped by Shen Qing.

"When you find a doctor, you'll only see my corpse," he said. He laughed again, as if talking to himself, "If you don't find a doctor, you'll be a corpse soon too."

"It's better to stay alive. After all, you can still help." Bai Li said, and stood up to leave again.

"No one doesn't want to live. I know my situation. I can't live. It's useless even if a doctor comes." Shen Qing said, "Illusions can make people think they are dead, but there is no illusion that can make a dead person think he is still alive."

He said this with a self-deprecating smile.

"Being able to perform magic doesn't mean you've become a god."

Even those who know illusion are just flesh and blood. Even if they can pull ferocious people into the illusion, they can do nothing about falling knives and flying arrows.

Bai Li said: "You saved many people from death in the raid. To them, you are like a god."

Shen Qing sneered: "I don't care about their life or death."

"But you didn't leave either." Bai Li said, glancing at the sleeping child lying beside him, "You could have left."

When the raid first occurred, he could have left silently and unnoticed, but he stayed and helped her expand the dream.

Later, the ship tilted, and the people who were sleeping woke up instinctively. The dream was broken, and he protected the child and left the water with her.

Even though he was a flesh and blood person, there would be no danger if he left early on his own.

Shen Qing sneered again: "How can there be no danger? If I only care about my own escape, will you let me go afterwards?"

Bai Li couldn't help laughing.

"...If it were the queen, she would not let me go even if I escape from the battlefield." Shen Qing muttered again.

He looked at the sky, the morning light had faded and the daylight was clear.

"Shen Qing, you are going to die too."

A female voice sounded beside me, not as cold as before, but as hot as sunlight.

Shen Qing quickly turned his head and saw a familiar face in the sunlight.

"My queen," he said, and couldn't help laughing. "Although this little Miss Bai is fierce and crazy, she is still kind-hearted. Seeing that I was about to die, she transformed into the queen to come and see me."

The woman beside him nodded: "Indeed." Then she pouted, "Silly."

"I deliberately made her feel pity." Shen Qing said, looking at the woman in front of him, "The more she transforms, the more the queen will occupy her. One day, the queen will be able to truly return."

The woman beside him laughed, plucked a piece of grass and poked Shen Qing's face: "Don't think about it, I'm dead and I can't come back."

Shen Qing breathed rapidly, and grabbed the grass on the ground with his hands hanging by his side: "The Queen will come back. The Queen said so."

He looked at her, his eyes intoxicated.

"My lady, you look just like the real person now, much more vivid than my illusion."

The woman beside him threw away the grass in her hand and looked at the river in front of her: "You said it before, it's an illusion, an illusion, no matter how real it is, it's still fake." At this point, she smiled again, "But, I existed, it's real, the traces I left are real, no one can erase them, and I will appear in another form in the future..."

Shen Qing looked a little confused: "Madam, what are you talking about..."

The woman next to him looked at him and smiled: "I'm saying, if I die, you will die too, Shen Qing, you've done what I asked you to do, so you don't need to worry about it anymore."

Don't worry about it? Shen Qing looked at the woman in front of him, and he seemed to be back to the beginning. He failed to study and become an official, but he didn't expect to enter the palace with his piano skills. He was loved by the emperor and sought after by many people. Everyone discussed the piano with him, and only listened to him talking about the piano.

In fact, he knew that he wanted to talk about more than just Qin.

But whether in front of the emperor or other people, even if he was treated as a guest of honor and called the top scholar, as long as he wanted to say something else, everyone would interrupt him.

“It’s not something you can talk about.”

"Mr. Shen, please play the zither for us."

Yes, he was just a zither player, just like serving people with his beauty. All people needed was his zither, and no one cared about him as a person. Even though he sat high in front of the emperor, he was just a decoration.

Just like the young exiled immortal Zhou Jingyun.

"You can't compare with him."

The emperor's new favorite beauty laughed.

"He is more useful than your harp. People see him and listen to him. But you, the sound of your harp is meaningless, so even if you hear it, it's as if you didn't hear it."

Although he was not as good-looking as Zhou Jingyun, he was also young and energetic. He was so angry that he mocked without hesitation, "So what if you are favored by His Majesty? You are just like a pearl hanging on a curtain."

The decoration is useless. The beauty was not angry, but laughed, sat on the white jade steps and looked at him, frowned and said: "I don't want to be useless, but what can I do? I am a woman, who will listen to me?"

She said raising an eyebrow at him.

"Hey, piano player, would you like to help me?"

As a pianist, others at least respectfully call him Mr. Shen, but Shen Qing was dejected again. In fact, it was not wrong, he was just a pianist.

"I am a pianist. What else can I do to help you, my lady, besides playing the piano?" he said unhappily.

"It is said that people who can play the piano have sharp ears. You can help me listen to the music," she said.

Listening to the sound? He turned around and looked at her.

The woman on the steps smiled and said, "Listen to the voice of the courtiers, listen to the voice of Your Majesty."

Listen to the courtiers, Your Majesty... He suddenly realized, this is not eavesdropping! This is called prying into privacy!

He, a guest regarded as a mere decoration by everyone, is actually the most convenient target for eavesdroppers!

This is to make him a spy!

This woman!

He was angry and panicked at the time.

She is a favorite concubine, a woman, and she doesn't use her beauty to please men, so why is she spying on court officials!
"You won't know what you can accomplish until you try." She sat on the steps and looked at the spacious court hall, smiling and saying, "Don't you want to try and do something new that has never been done before in this world?"

She looked at him again.

"Don't you want to try and let the whole world hear our voices?"

Let the world hear...

Shen Qing looked at the woman in his sight and let out a short gasp: "My lady, you can't just ignore it. You haven't finished what you said."

The woman next to him laughed and said, "It's impossible. It's not easy to do things, especially things that have never been done before. It's normal to fail."

Failure, failure, failure? Shen Qing's breathing became more and more rapid. Yes, the queen was killed, and all the officials and soldiers they had gathered together fell...

Tears rolled down Shen Qing's eyes.

A finger reached out and wiped it away.

"Don't cry, don't cry." She smiled and said, "Why should you cry about failure? Things in the world are just like this. How can you do whatever you want? However, our business has not completely failed, and things are not over yet."

Shen Qing looked at her with expectation in his eyes, so, she will come back!
She looked at his expectant eyes and shook her head slowly: "No, Shen Qing, if I die, you will die too. Our business ends here, and the rest will be handed over to others."

Here we are...Shen Qing's eyes dimmed.

A hand gently touched his face.

"Don't be sad, you have done what I want you to do." She said, "Shen Qing, you can have a good rest now."

It's time to take a break.

Shen Qing looked melancholy as he looked at the clear sky. Clouds were floating by and birds were flying by, chirping clearly.

A smile played on his lips, and he let out his last breath and closed his eyes.

The child next to him moved and clenched his fists as if he wanted to wake up. Bai Li reached out and patted the child, and the child fell asleep again.

"He's going to die," she said, turning her head to look at her side. There was a figure sitting next to her in the sunlight. "Why don't you say something nice to him? You have to make him die with regrets."

The figure beside him sighed: "He is going to die, I won't lie to him. It's tiring to still have expectations before death."

That makes sense. Bai Li smiled and looked at the river, which was flowing calmly.

"Okay, it's time for you (me) to go back."

Bai Li said this, and at the same time a voice also said this in his ear.

She paused and looked to her side.

The person next to him smiled and said, "How scary! We are becoming more and more like one."

Bai Li said: "You were created by me, so you are naturally one with me."

After saying that, he picked up the child.

"You who have died can now die in peace."

"Those who are still alive must seek revenge and vengeance."
