White Fence Dream

Chapter 250 Opportunity
Li Yu walked into Hanliang Palace.

Although he became a member of the royal family, the emperor was not close to him, and he could only see the emperor by following Princess Jin Yu.

And apart from palace banquets, there are very few such opportunities.

There were several eunuchs standing in the hall, looking at him unscrupulously.

Concubine Bai was sitting in front of the dragon table in a gorgeous dress, with a lazy posture. She opened and closed a memorial in her hands over and over again, as if she was pondering something. She did not seem to notice Li Yu coming in, and did not look at him or pay any attention to him.

"Greetings, Her Majesty." Li Yu bowed.

Bai Ying seemed to have just noticed him, but she did not put down the memorial in her hand: "Your Highness came to see His Majesty, are you here to talk about my younger sister? You don't need to remind me that I am still a consort, and His Majesty knows that."

Li Yu bowed again: "In my eyes, Your Majesty is not a guilty concubine, but a meritorious official of the Great Zhou."

Bai Ying exclaimed and looked at him. This young man was extremely handsome.

"Your Highness is not only beautiful, but also speaks beautifully, no wonder you can win the princess's favor." She said, "But now you come to praise me to make me happy. If the princess knows, she will be angry."

"It's okay. I have a lot of bad things to say about the queen to please the princess, such as," Li Yu said, looking up at Bai Ying, "Your sister is the young wife of the son of the Dongyang Marquis. You knew it but didn't report it, and you colluded with Zhou Jingyun to conceal it."

Hearing this, Bai Ying still smiled and said jokingly, "It seems that Prince Zhou and Your Highness are really deeply in love. He even told you such a private matter that would make the Marquis' Mansion guilty. He really wants to live and die with you."

With a look of disdain on his face, he slammed the memorial on the table.

"You already know that I am a meritorious official, so don't threaten me with these insignificant things. You are now the King of Chu, and you can be the King of Chu for the rest of your life. Haven't you learned enough from your father's lesson?"

"I'm not threatening you," Li Yu said, kneeling down in front of Bai Ying. "I want to ask you for help. I want to know what's so special about your sister that Zhou Jingyun would take such good care of her and would rather die than forget her."

Bai Ying couldn't help but widen her eyes. What did that mean? Was the King of Chu serious about this? He was trying to snatch a man from a woman and got in front of her?

This kind of royal descendant is useless.

No, maybe he pretended to be like this on purpose to let people down.

"My sister has her own strengths." Bai Ying looked at him and said with a smile, "But why should I help you?"

He said and shook his head.

"No, I should help you, but I want to help you avoid doing something ridiculous. I will tell His Majesty to lock you up and discipline you properly to avoid bringing disgrace upon the royal family."

As she spoke, her eyes flickered, showing that she was really determined to do this.

He brought this upon himself.

Maybe they could even frame him for Li Chengyuan's death. After all, Princess Jin Yu was going to marry Li Chengyuan, and Li Yu could certainly be crazy about love and kill Li Chengyuan. In that case, even if Your Majesty didn't kill him out of family affection, it wouldn't be too much to let him guard the imperial mausoleum for the rest of his life.

Yes, that's right. Such a good opportunity. Bai Ying frowned slightly again. Why didn't Zhang Ze think of telling His Majesty about the ridiculousness of Li Chengyuan's death so soon?
Zhang Ze has been doing things less and less well recently. Is it because he thinks that now that she has a prince, her future position is secure, and so he has become lazy?

This won’t do. The knife will become dull if not used. It’s just right to use this royal kid to sharpen the knife.

She was distracted when she heard Li Yu's voice again.

"I asked the Majesty for help, so of course I will help the Majesty."

Bai Ying smiled and looked at him: "I don't need Your Highness to sit on my lap and enjoy your love."

Li Yu also smiled: "Then your majesty may need me to help you keep an eye on other people, for example, Zhang Ze went to see Zhou Jingyun."

The smile on Bai Ying's face paused slightly, but then returned to normal: "Your Highness is too narrow-minded. The prince is a court official, so of course he has to interact with court officials. He can't just revolve around you."

"If you ask Zhang Ze why he met Zhou Jingyun." Li Yu ignored her and continued, "Zhang Ze will definitely say that he went to inquire about the case of Li Chengyuan's death, because Zhou Shizi was also present that day, but in fact..."

He looked at Bai Ying, his dark eyes shining.

"That's not what they're talking about."

Bai Ying blurted out, "What is it?"

The young man smiled and said, "I don't know."

Bai Ying looked at the bright face, took the memorial, put it on the table, and sighed softly.

"My sister is not an ordinary person. She is..." She looked at Li Yu, "a natural ghost."

When the emperor came out, he saw Bai Ying had already arranged the table neatly and was wiping the table with his own hands, but he covered his eyes from time to time.

The emperor asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"

Bai Ying said: "Don't look at it if it's not proper. I'm afraid it will blaspheme the memorial."

The emperor was amused and pulled her over: "There's no one else here, don't be so cautious."

Bai Ying smiled and fell into his arms, but the next moment she turned behind the emperor and stretched out her hand to push him: "Your Majesty is tired of taking care of the child. Concubine Lin was born in the medical field and is very good at massaging bones. I have already sent her to wait in the side hall."

Lady Lin, a pretty woman flashed before the emperor's eyes.

"Aying, you are so considerate." He said with a smile, and then thought of something and asked, "No one came before, I think I heard someone talking."

"No." Bai Ying said.

Wang Degui smiled and said, "It was me who spoke to the guards and asked them to help carry some tables and chairs."

None of the eunuchs and palace maids standing in the hall uttered a word.

After hearing this, the emperor stopped asking questions.

"Your Majesty, please go quickly." Bai Ying said, with a bit of shame, "Because the emperor always troubles your Majesty."

The emperor smiled and said, "That's also my son." Then he followed the eunuchs and palace maids to the side hall.

The hall fell silent, and the smile on Bai Ying's face faded.

"Your Highness," Wang Degui said cautiously, "The King of Chu hinted that the Minister of State had second thoughts about you, but he didn't explain why, and we don't know why the Minister of State went to see Zhou Jingyun."

Then he said that he could ask for the Empress.

Then the queen really told the king of Chu about her sister. "You, do you believe the king of Chu?"

"I don't believe it." Bai Ying said, smiling, "I don't believe him, but it's not like I don't want to use him. He offered it to me, so why should I refuse?"

What's more, the question is about Bai Li, which is irrelevant. The King of Chu can use her however he wants. As for her sister, a jinx who killed her mother and her entire clan, the more people know about it, the better.

Having said that, his face darkened slightly.

"Wait for Zhongcheng to come back and ask him to come see me."

Although she didn't believe the King of Chu, he did remind her, Zhang Ze, that she should be more vigilant.

"Your Highness."

Seeing Li Yu walking out of the imperial city, Cai Songnian hurriedly went up to him and asked.

"Has His Majesty seen you?"

After meeting Princess Jinyu, His Highness said he wanted to come to the Imperial City to see His Majesty.

"After all, on the night when Li Chengyuan got into trouble, I came to the Imperial Street and told the guards that I wanted to see His Majesty. I can't just leave him there and not arouse suspicion."

His Highness was thoughtful and thoughtful, and Cai Songnian followed immediately.

Hearing Cai Songnian's question, Li Yu shook his head: "No, Bai Fei stopped me."

Cai Songnian frowned, but was not surprised. Concubine Bai was very resourceful and used the prince to control the emperor. Court officials now had to go to her Hanliang Palace to see the emperor. It was said that some court officials had already bribed Concubine Bai privately to get more opportunities to see the emperor.

To Concubine Bai, Li Yu, the former eldest grandson of the emperor, was a big taboo and she was very wary of him.

"It's okay." Cai Songnian said hurriedly, "Your Highness, just come over. It won't be a wasted trip."

Li Yu nodded, said nothing, and got into the carriage with a calm expression.

Of course it was not a wasted trip. He came not to see the emperor, but to see Concubine Bai.

He couldn't tell whether he understood Bai Li or not, but Bai Li's sister must have understood.

Sure enough, through Bai Ying's narration, the Bai Li he knew became clear again.

Bai Ying said that Bai Li was a jinx and a born evil spirit. Anyone who met her would be unlucky and go crazy.

The girl's face appeared in front of his eyes. A long time ago, he thought she was a ghost and she could only see him occasionally.

She said, "I originally thought that my luck was very bad, but good and bad are interdependent in the world, and I met you, sir."

Bai Ying said that she relied on evil magic to escape punishment. All her family members died, but she was the only one who escaped.

The girl said, "You saved me first, then I could save you."

She called him benefactor.

Bai Ying said that Bai Li also despised his family and did not want to stay in the harsh border area, so he sold himself as a slave to a teacher, Zhuang Feizi. As a result, bad luck came upon him and Zhuang Feizi also died, which really harmed him a lot.

He remembered that she asked him to help keep an eye on a Mrs. Zhuang.

When he asked her if she had encountered any danger, she shed tears in front of him, her face full of bitterness, but she said nothing, nor did she say what suffering she had suffered. However, when she asked him for help, she would repeatedly remind him to "be careful."

As the carriage swayed, Li Yu couldn't help but close his eyes and clenched his hands on his knees.

Bai Li really existed and was by his side.

She saved his life.

There really is a white hedge in the world.

He has also been helping her since they met because she was always in various dangers, although she did not describe in detail what the dangers were.

"You can help me by sleeping."

Until the Lantern Festival Palace Banquet, she didn't let him sleep, but kept him awake and held a lotus root.

"Because of you, Lotus Root was able to save my life."

There were two moons that time, and all the changes began from then on.

So, that time, he failed to help her, and she was still in danger and possessed by the ghost.

"Your Highness, Zhang Ze has entered the Dongyang Marquis's residence. I'm afraid it will be difficult to investigate. Zhou Jingyun is under strict security."

Cai Songnian's voice came.

Li Yu closed his eyes: "No need to check."

When people stop dreaming, they will see things very clearly around them.

Yes, what did Zhang Ze do? He investigated Jiang's followers and issued a warrant for Bai Li's arrest. But later, he became close to Zhou Jingyun and went to Louchuan. However, he posed no threat to Bai Li and did not ask or investigate.
As for Zhou Jingyun, although everyone said that he was driven out of the court by Empress Jiang, he was not beheaded by her, and he has been upholding the decrees issued by Empress Jiang for many years. Not to mention, Yu Qingtang also found out that he had protected two members of Empress Jiang's party.
Then there is Mr. Zhuang.

Li Yu opened his eyes.

"Let Manager Huang go to Dengzhou again," he said.

Cai Songnian was stunned. Manager Huang was a person who used the identity of a businessman as a cover. Why did he suddenly want to go to Dengzhou? What did he want to investigate in Dengzhou?

Li Yu looked at the shaking car curtain.

"Investigate the people who have had dealings with Madam Zhuang." He said slowly, "Especially the various people who appeared around Madam Zhuang when she returned to Dengzhou and left Dengzhou."

Cai Songnian didn't ask any more questions and just answered yes.

Li Yu slowly closed his eyes again and clenched his hands on his chest.

Ah Li, just wait, I will definitely find you back.
