White Fence Dream

Chapter 147 Details
She really didn't expect it before Zhou Jingyun spoke.

I didn't expect that he would suddenly talk about Madam Zhuang, the letter, and Shen Qing. He talked about all the people and things she didn't know before, and those people and things she suspected he had deliberately concealed.

When she thought he was an insider and was on Shen Qing's side.

Turns out he is not.

Not someone who would abandon her like Mr. Zhuang did.

Maybe I shouldn't be so sure.

But the moment he said these words, Zhuang Li didn't think about anything else and just wanted to hug him.

At least that's what he said.

As for the purpose of saying these words, that will be something to think about the next moment.

Zhou Jingyun looked at the woman who was hugging him tightly.

Since they became a fake couple, they sometimes acted intimate in front of others, but it was all fake.

When they are alone together, there is some physical contact. That's because, after all, when they sleep in the same bed, no matter how big the bed is, people are still sleeping next to each other.

She was generally polite to him.

Moreover, she always seems to be smiling, but she is actually a very cold person.

This was the first time I held him like this.

It wasn't a polite, fake hug, but a real, passionate hug that held him tightly.

"Ali..." he called out, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Besides her enthusiasm, you can also feel that she is a little sad.

Because of Madam Zhuang? Zhou Jingyun raised his hand and slowly put it around her shoulders, then placed it on her back and patted her gently.

"Do you know what Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang are planning?" he asked softly.

Zhuang Li shook his head, and a muffled voice came from in front of him: "I don't know, I don't know Shen Qing either, I have never seen him, and the gentleman and the lady have never mentioned him."

I don’t know... Zhou Jingyun felt something hanging in his heart fall down. She didn’t know either, just like him.

So, this is probably why she was sad. She had been with Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang for so long and thought that they were leading a simple life, but it turned out that it was filled with many unknown secrets.

"I'm still checking the details. Don't worry or be sad. It's just dangerous. You are Bai Xun's daughter. You have been in danger since the beginning. So, we will deal with it as soon as it comes..."

Zhou Jingyun continued and paused here.

If an enemy comes, we must stop him with a general, and if a flood comes, we must block it with earth. To stop it, we must first have a general and earth, a brave and resolute general, and thick and tight earth…
He reached out and pulled Zhuang Li away from him.

"You wait."

Zhuang Li was a little stunned, watching Zhou Jingyun push her away, walk towards the bookshelf beside, and then go around the bookshelf.

It turns out there is another door behind the bookshelf.

Zhou Jingyun pushed the door open and went in. Zhuang Li looked through the gap between the bookshelves and saw that the room was filled with bookshelves and many boxes filled with scrolls, paintings, and ancient bamboo slips.

This is where the books are stored.

Zhou Jingyun walked to the innermost part without stopping. Zhuang Li could not see him, but he came out soon with a scroll in his hand.

He stood in front of Zhuang Li, hesitant about what to say, and looked down at the scroll in his hand.

Zhuang Li didn't ask, just looked at him quietly.

It seemed like a long time had passed before Zhou Jingyun raised his head, looked at her, unfolded the scroll in his hand and held it in front of him.

Zhuang Li felt her eyes blurred, and saw a woman smiling at her.

She seemed to have returned to Shangguan Yue's dreamless state and was looking at the mirror.

That was her own face she saw in the mirror.

It’s just that there was only half a face in the mirror, but now, it’s a complete face.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s complete, but the face that was once beautiful but dull now looks lively and vivid.

She seemed to be looking at her, her eyes flowing and a smile spreading like water on her lips.

Zhuang Li subconsciously let out a low cry and raised his hands to cover his eyes. His ears were buzzing and he seemed to be dizzy. At this moment, Zhou Jingyun's voice rang out.

"Ah Li, this person is Jiang Mian'er. She is dead. She no longer exists."

died.

People are dead.

No longer exists.

It's an illusion, it's false.

The heaven and earth returned to their original positions and stopped spinning. Zhuang Li stood firmly, the buzzing in her ears faded away, she opened her hands slightly and looked through her fingers again.

Looking at Zhou Jingyun's face.

He looked lost and a little sad.

“She is…” Zhuang Li asked after a moment of hesitation.

Zhou Jingyun held the scroll and said, "She is Empress Jiang."

It’s Queen Jiang! Zhuang Li looked surprised, then he smiled and nodded.

It turned out to be Queen Chiang.

No wonder Mr. Zhuang chose her.

Compared with a woman like that, she, the daughter of Bai Xun, is not worth mentioning.

"I don't know what to tell you."

"Let's talk about Shen Qing first. He used to be a musician in front of the late emperor. Later, he recommended himself to Empress Jiang and listened to the music of the world for her. So people thought he was expelled from the court because he offended Empress Jiang. In fact, he was in charge of the bronze box for Empress Jiang from then on." "These are all old stories. I don't know much about him. I haven't seen him for more than ten years. He suddenly came back, and I don't know where he learned the trick."

"All those unusual moves by Empress Jiang in the palace were caused by him."

“And you…”

Zhou Jingyun's voice continued to be heard, and when he said this, he held the scroll and looked at Zhuang Li.

"I don't know what happened, or what means he used, but one time, I mistook you for me."

It was unclear whether he didn't know how to say this or just didn't want to say it, but he spoke it with more difficulty than before, almost speaking word by word.

Zhuang Li did not ask any questions, but just looked at him and waited quietly.

"I thought she was Empress Jiang."

Zhou Jingyun said the last sentence.

The smile on Zhuang Li's face faded. He had asked indirectly and used magic to probe before, but Zhou Jingyun didn't say anything.

When a person really wants to speak, no techniques are needed.

She raised her hand and touched her face, and said softly, "You must have been scared at that time."

This was what she had always wanted to say to him, but she thought she would never have the chance.

“You should have told me,” she said. “You should have told me then.”

She looked complaining and aggrieved. Zhou Jingyun looked at her and shook his head: "I think it's my fault, and it has nothing to do with you..."

"I saw it on my face, how can it have nothing to do with me?" said Zhuang Li.

because…..
Zhou Jingyun looked down at the scroll in his hand and murmured in a low voice: "I think it's because I want to see it."

He wanted to? Zhuang Li was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on the scroll, and he seemed to understand.

He hid a portrait of Empress Chiang.

And it looks like he drew it.

he……

Zhou Jingyun looked up at her and smiled: "I told you, I am a member of the Jiang Hou Party."

Yes, when we first met at Mr. Zhuang’s place, he said, “I also think that Empress Chiang is a hero.”

He drew a portrait of the hero in his mind. He admired this hero, missed this hero, and hoped that this hero would come back to life.

So when I see the face of the person next to me become the person I am looking forward to, I will only think that it is my own problem.

It's still a difficult question to talk about.

Zhuang Li suddenly wanted to laugh. This was probably the cycle of cause and effect.

The reason he rescued her was because of Queen Jiang.

But because of this he saw a vision on her face but did not tell her.

This is a secret deep in Zhou Jingyun's heart, and he doesn't want to and is not willing to share it with anyone.

She glanced at the portrait and then looked away.

There was an eerie silence in the room.

Zhou Jingyun put away the scroll: "So I always thought it was my problem, and I would forget about it after it passed, but I didn't expect Shen Qing to find me."

He sighed softly.

"He saw me when he first came to the capital, but I didn't take it to heart. I'm not the same kind of person as them."

"But suddenly he showed me the letter you sent to Mrs. Zhuang and said something strange."

Having said that, Zhou Jingyun frowned and took two steps inside the room.

"It's very strange and ridiculous. I don't want to pay attention to him."

"I sent Jiang Yun to Dengzhou, but I really saw that there was something strange with Madam Zhuang."

"Shen Qing also said that he wanted to take you away at first."

"And your old illness."

"He knows all about your old illness. I don't know if he knows you or not."

"I don't know what's going on. I don't want to listen to him and I don't believe him."

"But I know he's dangerous."

"You suddenly appeared at the street corner today. Did you know that Shen Qing was there? He walked up to you right away. I don't know if this was an accident or his arrangement."

His speech became faster and more chaotic, just like his pace.

Zhuang Li looked at him. He knew nothing and suddenly had to face all these things. No wonder his behavior became strange during these days.

Not going crazy is already amazing.

"Prince," she called, and walked over to hold his hand, causing him to stop pacing, "I know."

Zhou Jingyun stopped and looked at her.

What does she know?
Zhuang Li looked at him and said, "I have learned some things in the past few days. Now tell me what you know and I will tell you what I know." She held his hand and knelt down again. "Before that, I would like to apologize to you first."

Apologize? Zhou Jingyun looked at her.

"I didn't tell you what kind of person I am."

I am attending Yuewen Huangshan's event. I will go hiking tomorrow, and then go back. So I won't be able to update on the 13th, 14th, and 15th. There will definitely be a break, so you might as well wait until the 16th to read again.

I will definitely not update this time, hahaha. There’s nothing I can do since I don’t have any manuscripts saved.
