White Fence Dream

Chapter 262 Notification
Upon learning that the injured were Zhou Jingyun and Bai Li, at least Bai Li was fine, Li Yu passed the message to Jiang Yun, and stopped guarding outside the Dongyang Marquis Mansion and went back to the palace.

At dusk, he heard the report at the door that a carriage from the Dongyang Marquis's mansion had arrived. He thought it was Jiang Yun who came to deliver a message, but he did not expect Cai Songnian to come in with two women with a strange expression on his face.

"Your Highness, she, she."

He didn't expect that this woman would come like this, and he was startled when he met her in the yard.

Before Cai Songnian finished speaking, Li Yu also looked up and saw who was walking in front of him. He stood up suddenly and the teacup in front of him was knocked over.

His eyes froze at first, then surprise spread across his face.

"Ali! Why are you here?" He shouted, rushed over and held her hand, feeling wronged and uneasy. "I was so worried when I heard something happened last night. They didn't let me in, and they didn't tell me what happened."

Bai Li smiled and said, "It's okay. There was a little accident. I was afraid you would worry, so I came to tell you in person."

A smile appeared on Li Yu's face. He took Bai Li's hand and asked her to sit down, then let go.

"Bring the tea quickly." He urged Cai Songnian, "and bring all the delicious snacks from home." He looked at the sky and said, "It's time for dinner, let's go see what's delicious." He then said to Bai Li, "I don't know if it suits your taste. I don't usually pay attention to the food they cook."

The only thing he cares about when eating and drinking is that it is safe and non-toxic.

Bai Li held his sleeve and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to eat." He pointed to the tea stove beside him and said, "You don't need to prepare tea, just drink what you are drinking now."

Li Yu smiled and nodded, saying ok, then waved to Cai Songnian, "You go down, stand guard outside the door and don't let anyone get close."

Cai Songnian responded by retreating.

Li Yu glanced at the maid standing behind Bai Li again. He still remembered this maid. She had always been by the side of the young lady of Dongyang Marquis and was almost inseparable from her.

Now I think, maybe Zhou Jingyun used it to monitor Bai Li.

Of course, now that Queen Jiang has successfully taken over Ah Li's body, the maid no longer needs to be monitored and can just serve her as normal.

He did not ask the maid to leave. He sat down, looked at Bai Li and asked with concern: "What happened? How did Zhou Jingyun get hurt?"

Bai Li said, "I stabbed him."

Li Yu was stunned. He had guessed this, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Did he offend you?" He immediately raised his eyebrows and looked angry.

Bai Li shook his head.

Li Yu frowned and said, "It will take longer to prepare for my marriage. In addition, in order to make the world believe it, our ceremony must be grand and not rushed. Otherwise, I will just pick you up here."

He thought about it.

"But let's do this. Ah Li, you move out first and I'll rent you a place to live."

Bai Li looked at him. The young man's eyes were full of worry and anxiety, and his feelings were sincere.

Since the moment he came in, he has been showing his emotions without any concealment.

But his eyes were not looking at her, or even if he looked at her, he looked away quickly.

"Li Yu," she said, "Have you discovered that I am not myself anymore?"

Li Yu's fingers hanging at his side froze slightly, and he looked at Bai Li with a puzzled look: "Ali, what are you talking about?"

Bai Li looked into his eyes and said, "Do you think my face is pretty?"

Li Yu looked at the face in front of him. Ah Li's face was as pure and elegant as an empty mountain after a rain, and also as bright and sad as the stars in the night sky. Naturally, it was beautiful.

But he didn't want to see this face now.

Li Yu felt a surge of resistance in his heart. During this period of time, he needed to use a lot of strength to look at this face and talk.

He wanted to look away, but he was caught in the deep gaze and could not break free. He could only fall into the vortex. His vision began to blur and then became clear again.

In front of his eyes appeared that double face
Li Yu let out a low cry and fell back against the back of a chair, while raising his hands to cover his eyes.

"You saw it, right?" Bai Li's voice sounded in his ears, "You are different from others. You can stay awake in the illusion, so you can naturally see things that others can't see."

What did she want to do? What did she want to do? Li Yu's ears were buzzing. Was he pretending to be unrecognizable or discovered by her, or was she able to see through him?

Is she going to confront him head on?

A hand reached out and grabbed his hand. Li Yu subconsciously dodged backwards, but the hand was soft but powerful, and pulled down his hand that was covering his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I've been hiding a lot of things from you."

"I was born a monster. I can make people fall into illusions and go crazy. But I can also fall into illusions and go crazy myself."

"That night, I used my magic to kill Li Chengyuan, which alarmed Xuan Yangzi. He also used his magic to suppress me. Although he failed to threaten my life, he trapped me in an illusion and I couldn't wake up. This caused me to become another person when I woke up, that is, Queen Jiang."

"As for why she became Empress Jiang, that's another long story. I'll tell you later."

"Anyway, Zhou Jingyun knew about my condition. He discovered that something was wrong with me and has been trying to find a way to wake me up."

"So, he stabbed himself and pulled me back."

Listening to the gentle narration in his ears, Li Yu's originally confused thoughts were gradually becoming clear. This was similar to what Bai Ying said, and his body, which had been resisting becoming stiff, gradually relaxed.

Bai Li noticed his change and held his hand tightly again.

"Do you still remember what happened? You thought I was a ghost, but when you saw me turn into Jiang during the Lantern Festival, you came to help me."

"I did become Empress Jiang at that time, but I was still in good spirits, and with your help, I woke up quickly."

"This time is actually the same as that time, but my body was severely damaged before and could not recover in time." "Zhou Jingyun didn't know your peculiarity and thought you didn't see it, but I know you, you must have discovered it."

"Li Yu, you must have been scared these days."

As he said this, Li Yu slowly raised his drooping eyes and looked at the person in front of him.

That two-faced face no longer appeared in my sight.

The face in front of me was clean, clear and gentle, full of concern and apology.

"I've said before that I'm unlucky, and it will also bring bad luck to those around me." Bai Li said softly, "Not only will I go crazy, but I'll also make you go crazy and suffer."

Li Yu looked at her.

"No, don't say that." He said anxiously, standing up and hugging Bai Li in his arms, "I will go crazy when you are not around."

His voice was choked, and he hugged the person in his arms tightly.

"Ali, I'm glad you're back. I'm glad you're back."

Chunyue, who was standing aside, watched this scene, hesitated, and lowered her head.

Her thoughts were in a mess when she heard Bai Li's words, but Bai Li had previously told her to just pretend she didn't hear anything and not think about it, so it was okay.

But at this moment she couldn't help but wonder, has the prince ever hugged the young lady?
"After you left, Zhou Jingyun took the dagger and stabbed himself, and then I woke up."

"I prepared that dagger for myself in advance. I had expected something might go wrong, so I used the dagger to cut myself."

When she said this, Li Yu took over the conversation: "You told me before that you can use pain to distinguish between reality and illusion."

Bai Li smiled at him and nodded, "Yes." Then he raised his arm and pulled up his sleeves.

Li Yu saw several scars on the fair arm and couldn't help but raise his hand and gently stroke it: "Why are there so many cuts?"

Bai Li sighed, "But no matter how I cut, it didn't work. I didn't care whether my body hurt or not." He smiled and said, "So Zhou Jingyun just stabbed himself to try, and then I woke up."

Oh, that is to say, she doesn't care whether she is in pain or not, but she cares about Zhou Jingyun.
"It was a close call." Li Yu said slowly, retracted his hand, and smiled at Bai Li, "I'm glad you woke up."

What do you think of here?

"Is Prince Zhou okay? I'll go check on him."

Bai Li smiled and said, "No, he is out of danger now. He needs to rest quietly for a while. We will see him again when he is better."

Li Yu nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you." He said with some joy, "Ali, you came to tell me as soon as you woke up. I'm so happy that you thought of me so much."

"Yes, I know you must have noticed something was wrong." Bai Li said, looking at him and smiling, "So, you suddenly asked me to help you and marry you, was it a deliberate way for you to test me?"

Li Yu smiled, a little embarrassed: "As expected, Ah Li, you saw through it at the first sight."

He sighed softly and looked serious again.

"I didn't discover that you were different the day I went to Dongyang Marquis's Mansion, but the night Li Chengyuan died."

He looked at Bai Li.

"I went there that night, too. I saw two moons appear in the sky again. Then, I saw you tear off one of the moons. Then, I saw that you were not you, but Empress Jiang."

It turned out that he was there that night too. Bai Li was surprised and listened to what Li Yu continued to say.

"I also thought of the previous Lantern Festival. I immediately ran to see you, but Zhou Jingyun wouldn't let me. I knew something must have happened. I kept watching the Dongyang Marquis Mansion, and finally waited until Zhou Jingyun brought you out, and I rushed to see you."

Li Yu looked at her, as if he was back in that scene.

"As soon as I walked in, although I didn't see Queen Jiang like I did two moons ago, I could feel that you were no longer yourself."

That night he must have seen the scene where Jiang Hou chopped millet beads with a knife, plus Li Chengyuan died at that time, you can imagine the impact on Li Yu, and Zhou Jingyun couldn't explain to Li Yu
Bai Li apologized: "I should have told you about my condition earlier."

Li Yu shook his head: "It's not your fault. If I hadn't been through so much with you, I wouldn't have believed you even if you told me at the beginning."

Bai Li smiled: "What you said really makes sense."

Li Yu also laughed: "That's how it is."

"What about the matter of marriage?" Bai Li asked. Was he not asking for a test, but really trying to stop Princess Jin Yu from plotting against him in marriage?

"That's a little bit of the reason." Li Yu sighed lightly, apologetically, "After all, Li Chengyuan alone brought such a great danger to you and Nannan before, and I don't want to go through it again. Of course, solving this danger does not only or must rely on us getting married. The reason I did this is that I want you to be by my side, and then find a way to get you back when you were a ghost before."

Bai Li was amused when he heard this, Li Yu also laughed, and then continued.

"You told me at that time that I might not be able to see you, but you would be by my side, and you said that my dreams would help you, so I thought that if we got married, you and I could always be together, which should be able to help you."

Bai Li smiled and nodded: "I see, thank you."

Li Yu shook his head and laughed again: "No need to thank me, I didn't help you. You're awake now, so I don't need to help you. Otherwise, it will become like you helping me."

He stood up and looked at Bai Li.

"I'll try to find a way to tell His Majesty that the marriage is cancelled."

Bai Li shook his head: "No, let's get married."

"Ali, don't worry. His Majesty won't kill me even if he's angry," Li Yu said, and then he suddenly realized, "What did you say?"

He looked at Bai Li in surprise.

He must have heard it wrong!
Bai Li looked at him and smiled: "I say, let's go ahead and get married according to your plan."
