White Fence Dream

Chapter 257 Care
"King Chu asks His Majesty to grant me marriage?"

At the same time King Li Yu of Chu fled from the imperial city, Zhang Ze received the news.

"Yes, it is said that she is a maidservant who has been with him since childhood." The attendant said, "She even gave birth to a child, so he wants to marry her and no longer discuss marriage."

Zhang Ze, who was originally a little confused, understood instantly when he heard the word "child" and couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, okay, that's it." He said to himself, "My queen is really quick."

The follower was stunned, Your Majesty?

"It was Concubine Bai who persuaded Your Majesty to meet him," the attendant whispered hurriedly, "She also stayed with Your Majesty the entire time, which shows that Your Majesty agreed."

Zhang Ze said "oh" and laughed again: "Of course she agrees. As a maid, the King of Chu loses an arm if he loses his noble and powerful relatives."

This is what Bai Fei would like to see.

Li Yu obviously knew this, so he specifically asked Bai Fei for help.

Bai Fei was indeed fooled.

She didn't know the maid's true identity, and she didn't know that the so-called maid's child was her daughter, the real little princess.

Zhang Ze lowered his eyes. He was only a little clever and didn't know that when it comes to suppressing someone, what he should focus on is not his status, but to prevent him from getting what he wants.

Even if it is beneficial to oneself, as long as it makes the other party happy, one must stop it.

There is indeed only one Queen Chiang in this world, and no one else is worthy of her.

"Zhongcheng?" The attendant looked at his face. Zhongcheng smiled twice, but the second smile was a little strange. "Do you want to see Bai Fei?"

After all, this is a big deal, so the two met to discuss it.

Zhang Ze said, "No need. Your Majesty will make the decisions on matters in the palace."

The follower responded and left without saying anything more.

However, Zhang Ze could not sit still. This was a great event for Queen Jiang, and he should go to congratulate her. This would also further deepen the characteristics of Queen Jiang in Bai Li.

"Come on, prepare the horses." He shouted and strode out.

But after leaving the house, he did not actually enter the Dongyang Marquis Mansion. The news reported by the scouts said that the King of Chu had gone to the Dongyang Marquis Mansion.

Then he shouldn't show up, so as not to arouse Li Yu's suspicion.

Zhang Ze reined in his horse and stopped. The sun had already set and the sky was filled with clouds. He looked at the Dongyang Marquis's Mansion and smiled again. The Queen was one step closer to entering the Imperial City.

The Dongyang Marquis Mansion is ready to light the lamps.

"The King of Chu is here again?" asked the wife of the Marquis of Dongyang while picking up the wick.

Mother Xu nodded: "He went straight to the prince's courtyard."

"He came just this morning, and he came again this evening." The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang curled her lips, "It seems that our Marquis's Mansion has become his ship."

Mother Xu scolded: "Madam, please don't talk nonsense."

The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang's expression changed a little. Ah Li still didn't come to greet her today. This child is actually a very polite person. It shouldn't be the case. The King of Chu kept running home.
Nothing really happened, right?
"Mother Xu." Lady Dongyanghou sat up straight, "Go over there and watch to see if there's any movement inside."

Although the prince did not allow family members to get close, they were in the same house after all, and they could hear noises when passing by, women talking, children's voices, and there was no other noise.

But since the lady had given the order, Mother Xu responded with an yes and walked out to the prince's courtyard.

In the prince's courtyard, Li Yu entered the room and this time did not let Zhou Jingyun avoid him.

"Ali!" He looked at the woman sitting on the Luohan bed reading a book, his eyebrows flying, "Your Majesty has allowed it!"

Allowed? Zhou Jingyun realized that it was the thing he mentioned earlier?
The woman sat up straight, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Did you really allow it?" Then she looked at him, as if sympathizing, "He can allow such a ridiculous thing. It shows that he is only the emperor, not your uncle."

Li Yu's eyebrows darkened as he looked at the woman in front of him. He clenched his hands hanging by his side and said, "A Li."

He murmured.

Is Ah Li feeling sorry for him at this moment?
Then a smile appeared on his face again.

"That's not important." He said, "What's important is that he agreed, and he will come forward to tell Princess Jin Yu. The emperor's words are golden, and no one can stop him!"

She smiled and nodded: "Yes, once the emperor speaks, he will never take it back."

Zhou Jingyun couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "What's going on?"

She looked at him and said slowly, "I'm going to marry Li Yu."

Zhou Jingyun was stunned. What does that mean?
"I asked Ah Li for help." Li Yu said with a smile, and then sighed, "Princess Jin Yu has been trying to take advantage of my marriage. I really have no choice. Ah Li and Nan Nan were also implicated and hunted down. I thought, why not just let Ah Li become my wife and Nan Nan become my daughter. In this way, no one will force me to get married, and Ah Li and Nan Nan will also be aboveboard."

Having said that, he smiled at Zhou Jingyun.

"So I discussed it with Ah Li first, and Ah Li also thought this was a good idea."

He looked at the woman again and smiled.

"I went to the emperor and begged him."

As he spoke, he became more excited and sat down on the Arhat bed.

"Do you know how I did it? I knew that if I went directly to see His Majesty, not only would Bai Fei stop me, but His Majesty would also not see me. So I went directly to see Bai Fei and asked her for help."

She listened and added, "She will be very happy to hear that you are going to marry a maid."

"Yes!" Li Yu smiled and said, "She persuaded the emperor to see me. I met His Majesty and told him about the deep love between the empress and the emperor. The emperor was also persuaded by me."

She nodded with a smile: "Well done."

Li Yu looked at her and said, "Princess Jin Yu will definitely be angry and make a scene, but at most she will beat me up. With the Emperor stepping in, this matter cannot be changed."

Having said that, he looked at Zhou Jingyun again, stood up and bowed solemnly.

"Sir, I will now announce to everyone that you have always taken care of my wife and daughter. This will explain the rumors between you and me. However, Princess Jin Yu may cause trouble for you, so please bear with me."

Zhou Jingyun looked at him still in shock and muttered, "Let me take care of you, please?"

How could it be a problem to look after Ah Li and the little princess? And how did they become his wife and daughter?

Li Yu ignored his distraction and did not explain further.

"I'm going back first." He took a deep breath and suppressed the many things he wanted to say. "I still have a lot to do. Ah Li, you guys wait here. I will solve other problems as soon as possible, set a date for the wedding, invite a matchmaker to come, and announce it to the world."

He rubbed his hands together as he spoke, looking somewhat flustered.

"I have no idea what to do when getting married. There are so many things to do. I need to go and ask."

After saying that, he turned and ran outside.

"I'm leaving first—"

He walked to the door and stopped. The sunset glow had faded and his vision was dim. He turned around to look at the woman sitting on the bed and smiled.

"Ali, wait for me to marry you."

In the dim light, the woman nodded with a smile: "Okay." Li Yu smiled again and ran out with a bit of shyness.

Looking at the young man disappearing from sight, the woman on Luohan's bed said, "This kid is much smarter than his father."

Zhou Jingyun looked at her in the dim light.

"Marry? You married him!" he said, taking a step forward. "Why did you do that?"

She looked at him and said, "Why can't I do this?" She smiled and said, "It's only natural for me to do this."

Walking out of the gate of Dongyang Marquis Mansion in the night, Li Yu stopped and looked back.

He knew she would say yes.

Didn't she take over Ali's body just to return to the palace?
How could she not be moved when he presented himself to her, a man who had restored his identity and was not willing to be just a royal child?

This ghost "Empress Jiang", Concubine Bai, and the Emperor, he gave them everything they wanted, and they really got it.

A sarcastic smile appeared on Li Yu's face. Let them take it, be greedy, and take it away ruthlessly. He just wanted to get what he wanted and save Ah Li.

The smile on his face faded, and before his eyes appeared the woman sitting in the night, smiling and saying "Okay."

It would be great if it was really Ali.

The thought flashed through her mind, and she felt a little nervous. If it was really Ah Li, would she be willing to marry him?

Probably so.

Li Yu withdrew his gaze and stepped into the car.

"Sir, what's the matter?" Cai Songnian followed him into the car and asked, "You've been running around all day."

Li Yu looked at him and smiled: "I'm getting married."

Cai Songnian was stunned and said, "Get married? With whom?"

The three words "Zhou Jingyun" almost came out of his mind. After all, he had just been to Dongyang Marquis' Mansion and the Imperial Palace, and now he was suddenly going to get married.

"Of course it's with Ah Li." Li Yu smiled and took a deep breath. "There are a lot of things to do next. Please listen to me in detail."

Cai Songnian subconsciously answered yes, but his mind was in a mess, and many things came to his mind in an instant, and finally stopped at the beginning.

At the beginning, when the young master dealt with the Dongyang Marquis’ Mansion.

At that time, he mistakenly thought that the young master had fallen in love with the young wife of the Duke of Dongyang, and that the two of them were meeting in secret, and he was frightened every day.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

However, in the blink of an eye, it seemed to be back to where it was.

The young master is actually going to marry the young wife of the Duke of Dongyang! !

The candles were lit and the room became bright.

Zhou Jingyun's stiff figure was cast on the ground.

"If I don't marry him, should I marry Prince Changyang?"

She was still talking, and she looked thoughtful as she spoke.

"It's not impossible, but it takes time."

"It would be faster to marry Li Yu."

"Although it's a little slow for him to become emperor, it doesn't matter. I can wait slowly."

"This time, I accompanied a prince and helped him ascend the throne. As the queen, I have worked hard and made great contributions."

Having said this, she looked at Zhou Jingyun and smiled with her eyes curved like autumn water.

"Zhou Jingyun, now you won't scold me for relying on your beauty to seduce people, right?"

Zhou Jingyun looked at her and said, "I have never scolded you for your beauty!" Then he took a step forward and said, "But you can no longer do whatever you want. You are no longer here. Now it is Bai Li. The one who is alive is Bai Li. Bai Li——"

He was interrupted by her before he could finish his words.

"How do you know Bai Li doesn't think so?" She said, standing up and walking in front of Zhou Jingyun, "Don't forget, it was she who wanted to be with Li Yu. She even told Shen Qing that she wanted to support Li Yu to become emperor."

"What you said to Shen Qing doesn't count." Zhou Jingyun looked at her. "What you said to Shen Qing is called a counterattack. You have to give someone a taste of their own medicine."

After saying that, he took out the dagger from his waist.

"I just listen to what she thinks."

She glanced at the dagger in his hand and curled her lips: "I've already told you not to cut me with a knife. She doesn't care, so it's useless."

Zhou Jingyun reached out and held her hand, looking at her: "How do you know it's useless if you don't try it?"

She felt helpless and was about to say something, but Zhou Jingyun grabbed her hand. However, he did not cut her arm. Instead, he pulled her hand to grasp the dagger, pulled it hard, and stabbed it into her chest.

Her eyes widened instantly.

It wasn't her chest, it was Zhou Jingyun's chest.

Her hand hit Zhou Jingyun's chest, and the dagger as thin as a cicada's wing pierced his robe silently, and blood spread instantly.

"Zhou Jingyun!" she shouted.

Zhou Jingyun!
A shout rang in his ears, and Bai Li turned his head subconsciously. What happened to Zhou Jingyun?
Through the dim sky and earth, she saw her hand holding the dagger and stabbing it into Zhou Jingyun's chest.

The blood color spread, staining the dim vision.

"Zhou Jingyun!"

She shouted, and the running generals, the crying girls, and the screaming female voices instantly disappeared.

She whipped around and lunged forward.

"Zhou Jingyun! You are crazy!"

Bai Li watched the blood seeping out from between her fingers. She wanted to let go, but her hand was held tightly by Zhou Jingyun.

"Zhou Jingyun, what are you doing!"

Her tears welled up instantly.

Zhou Jingyun looked at her: "Ali?"

She looked at him and nodded vigorously.

Zhou Jingyun smiled: "Sure enough, I guessed right, you care about me."

After saying this, he fell backwards as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

"Zhou Jingyun——"
