White Fence Dream

Chapter 154 Tie
Many people will party all night tonight.

Compared to the hustle and bustle on the streets, Sanqu Lane seemed quiet tonight. The guests who used to fill the lane all went to celebrate the festival with their families, and the female prostitutes were also let out to watch the lanterns and have fun.

It was already late at night, and the women who had enjoyed the lanterns returned accompanied by Mrs. Huang San. Each of them was holding lanterns, masks and various other items in their hands, with an expression of lingering joy on their faces.

The quiet little building became noisy.

"Alright, alright." Madam Huang San clapped her hands and said, "Everyone go and rest." She also warned, "Don't sneak out. If someone kidnaps you, you won't even have a place to cry."

The women responded with laughter.

"We've seen enough, so we won't go out tonight." "But you, Madam Huang San, only walked down one street in one night and missed a lot of excitement."

Mrs. Huang San smiled: "This street is enough. I saw what I wanted to see and what I expected..."

She looked a little excited, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes. The women were surprised. "Did Sanniang see something good?" "Apart from the float, what else is there?"

Mrs. Huang San said nothing more. She urged everyone to disperse and returned to the highest point of the small building. Amid the flickering of lanterns, the lights were on in the room, and the figure of a man could be vaguely seen.

The women all knew that Sanniang's former lover had returned.

Since it was a festival, Sanniang had someone to keep her company, and the women all dispersed with smiles on their faces.

Madam Huang San opened the door, looked at Shen Qing who was sitting there, knelt down, and burst into tears before she even opened her mouth.

Shen Qing smiled: "Are you happy?"

Madam Huang San leaned forward and buried her head and sobbed, "It's been so long, so long, and I finally see the queen."

Shen Qing looked at the bamboo cage placed under the lamp. Under the bright light, the butterflies looked even more colorful. They flapped their wings from time to time, creating a dazzling glow.

"The queen is also very happy," he said.

It has been a long time since I have seen butterflies so vivid.

Madam Huang San raised her head and looked at Butterfly: "Your Majesty loves the hustle and bustle. Fortunately, Miss Bai wanted to see the lanterns and went out..."

Shen Qing said: "Maybe he wants to see me."

Madam Huang San hesitated for a moment: "Didn't you say that the queen hasn't woken up completely yet——"

It failed at first and was interrupted later. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with Mrs. Zhuang’s dream, but just one dream was not enough.

"Not enough, but also enough." Shen Qing said, stroking his knees, "She is confused."

He smiled again when he said this.

"Zhou Jingyun sent someone to keep an eye on me and knew my movements. He brought her out in the name of a banquet. Zhou Jingyun never attends banquets during festivals, so it was obvious that she persuaded Zhou Jingyun."

Madam Huang San was stunned for a moment, then understood something from these words, and immediately raised her eyebrows: "Zhou Jingyun actually listened to her!" She was annoyed, "I said I shouldn't tell Zhou Jingyun, he wouldn't believe it at all, this guy has no conscience, he failed the majesty——"

Shen Qing smiled: "Isn't it natural for Zhou Jingyun to listen to her? The Queen is her, and she is the Queen."

Madam Huang frowned: "But the one who is awake now is still Madam Bai, she is still her——"

Shen Qing smiled faintly: "When she is awake, she is not herself. She just thinks she is herself. If she is just herself, how could Zhou Jingyun come to take her away, and how could she have come all the way to where she is now? From the beginning to now, every step she has taken is not purely her."

He looked at the butterfly in the bamboo cage.

"The bond has been established, she can't escape it."

He raised his hand and gently stroked the strings. The strings vibrated in silence, except for the butterfly's wings that flapped again. Colorful lights flowed like rosy clouds and mist, covering the sky.

……

……

The storeroom of Yuqingtang was isolated from the hustle and bustle of the night. Under a dim light, Shangguan Yue paced back and forth, her expression changing, sometimes frowning, sometimes calming down.

Although Manager Cai was standing aside and not pacing, his expression was changing and his brows were furrowed.

"Young Master, why did you suddenly go to the Dongyang Marquis's son...and his wife's place today?" He couldn't help but ask.

Thinking of Jixiang's story, Shopkeeper Cai still felt a headache. Previously, he thought it was unbelievable that the young man would dress up as a woman and go to someone's house for a secret meeting. But now, the young man didn't even want to have a secret meeting and rushed directly to the other person's husband.

Shangguan Yue was interrupted and said, "I told you, I was drunk and accidentally bumped into it."

Shopkeeper Cai frowned even more: "How come you are drunk just walking on the street?"

Jixiang just told the story. Mingming and Gongzi were watching the lanterns on the street. Then the float came over. Jixiang just lowered his head and dodged to the side. When he looked up again, Gongzi was gone.

Fortunately, there were many secret guards around, and they soon discovered that the young master had run into Wanhua Tower. When he chased him, the young master had already started making a scene in the room of the Dongyang Marquis' son and his wife.

The eldest son of Marquis Dongyang and his wife.

When Manager Cai heard this, his brows twitched.

He doesn't believe in anything like carelessness!

There are so many rooms and so many restaurants, but he chose to run into the place where the Prince of Dongyang and his wife were. This clearly shows that he was very thoughtful!
"This is weird!" he said angrily, "Sir, please don't hide it from me."

Shangguan Yue stopped, looked at him, and nodded: "Yes, there is something strange about this."

Very weird.

He actually saw Queen Jiang.

Shangguan Yue seemed to be back on the street, he looked up ahead in a daze.

No, not on the street, but in the imperial city.

He was held in his father's arms, looking at his royal grandfather sitting on the dragon throne. There was a woman beside his royal grandfather.

She leaned against her royal grandfather, who seemed to be teaching her how to read memorials.

No one could be on equal footing with the Imperial Grandfather. When my father came in and saw him, although he could not speak very well, he grew up in the imperial court and was very sensitive to people's emotions. He immediately noticed that my father was in a bad mood.

The father said nothing, but bowed his head respectfully. The woman stood up and stood aside, but did not leave.

His father suppressed his temper and spoke to his grandfather. He sat in his father's arms. As his father suppressed his emotions, he unconsciously held him tightly. He felt more and more uncomfortable and couldn't help wanting to cry.

My mother told me not to cry in front of my great grandfather because it would spoil his mood.

He endured and endured. How much patience could a child who couldn't speak have?
He couldn't bear it any longer—

The woman standing next to the screen suddenly smiled at him, clasped her hands together and waved them at the screen.

In the sunlight, the shadow of a puppy appeared on the screen behind the emperor's grandfather.

Woof woof woof, the puppy is barking with his mouth open.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The next moment the puppy turned into a bird and flew flashingly.

He couldn't hold back his chuckles anymore.

The conversations of my grandfather and father were interrupted.

"Xiaoyue is quite happy." The royal grandfather was not angry, but said with a smile.

A smile also appeared on the father's face: "Yue'er is happy to see grandpa."

The royal grandfather was even happier and held out his hand to him, "Come here, grandfather."

My father held him and handed him to my great grandfather, then stood beside him and spoke to him at a closer distance.

He sat in the emperor's grandfather's arms, feeling much more comfortable than before, and couldn't help looking at the woman standing in front of the screen.

The woman stood with her hands hanging down, seemingly doing nothing.

She is as pretty as her mother.

The Emperor's grandfather must have liked her very much, too.

When his father was carrying him out, he saw over his father's shoulder that she had returned to his great-grandfather, leaning on his knees, looking up and saying something. His great-grandfather reached out and stroked her head, with a smile on his face that was happier than when he saw his father.

"Fox charm."

The father came out with an even uglier look on his face than when he faced the royal grandfather, and said with disdain.

This sentence was mentioned more and more in my ears. In addition to my father, the servants around him also discussed it. "That foxy one."

When they talked about it, some of them were excited but more of them were contemptuous. She was just a woman who gained the favor of the emperor's grandfather because of her good looks.

But everyone seems to have overlooked the power of the emperor's grandfather's favor.

Or it never has before.

The child had no concept of time and was unaware of changes in status. He could only feel her position constantly changing, from standing behind the screen at the beginning to standing in front of the table. Later, even when facing his father, she no longer stood up and sat quietly beside his grandfather.

There was a smile on her face. No matter how ugly her father's expression was, her eyes were calm. Not only did she not have the awe that others had when facing the prince, but she seemed to look down on him.

"Monster." My father sneered through gritted teeth.

"That monster." People around also started to say this, discussing in low voices.

But there was no more laughter and contempt as before, instead it became fear.

Even his father, although he looked disdainful, he could keenly sense that his father was afraid.

More and more people bowed to her, and so did her mother, who was also afraid of her.

Why? She always had a smile on her face, and when she met the gaze of a little boy like him, she would wink at him with a playful look.

Until when her father walked into the imperial study again, the person sitting opposite him was not the emperor's grandfather, but her.

Her father did not call her a foxy woman or a monster, but instead asked, "Who do you think you are?"

She sat on her grandfather's large dragon throne, facing her father's anger with a smile on her face: "I am the same thing as you."

Her eyes fell on her father, and on him who was held in his arms.

Although she was laughing, her laugh was scary.

As a crown prince, a child of destiny who had been pampered since birth, he had experienced grievances, dissatisfaction, and anger, but he had never experienced fear.

But at that moment, he felt it.

How could she be the same as her father? Her father was the crown prince, the future emperor.

He was the crown prince and the emperor after his father.

She was just a woman who relied on the favor of her royal grandfather.

But soon, my father died.

A prince, a future emperor, died.

A huge fire broke out in the revered Eastern Palace.

She sat on the dragon throne of the emperor's grandfather in the imperial city, watching gently and coldly as the people here turned into ashes like ants.

When Shangguan Yue was almost frightened when she was being taken away by Prince Consort Shangguan, she seemed to understand what she meant.

I am the same thing as you.

If she is a vixen who relies on the emperor's favor, so are you.

If you are the chosen ones of heaven and have the power of life and death, then so is she, she can do it too.

When thinking of this, Shangguan Yue suddenly wanted to laugh again.

It is indeed the same.

In the end, she died too.

Everyone died.

Yes, that's right, she's dead.

So what he saw was not a person, but a ghost.

This is indeed a very strange thing.

But to him, this was not surprising, he had seen a ghost before.

Thinking of the ghost, his expression became solemn.

So the young wife of Marquis Dongyang really has a special physique that allows her to be possessed by ghosts.

If Bai Li can be used, then other ghosts, such as Queen Jiang, can also be used.

White hedge -

Shangguan Yue clenched her fists.

If Queen Jiang occupies this body, what will happen to Bai Li?
Can Bai Li not win the fight?

Compared with Empress Jiang, Bai Li is not worth mentioning, whether in terms of status during his lifetime or the time of his death.

If Bai Li is a fierce ghost, then Queen Jiang must be an even fiercer ghost.

How is Baili now?
Was she killed? He had read various notes, which said that ghosts could die too—

He is not a ghost and doesn't know what to do, but he can't do nothing.

He rushed towards Wanhua Tower and rammed the young lady of Dongyang Marquis hard.

Bai Li said that if he appeared, she would appear.

Unexpectedly, he really succeeded.

Although he couldn't see Bai Li's face, he heard words that only he and Bai Li could understand.

Shangguan Yue closed her eyes, put her hand on her chest and let out a breath.

At that moment, his heart settled down and the noise in his ears became real.

"Young Master, Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Shopkeeper Cai asked anxiously. The change in Young Master's facial expression and the strange look at this moment made him wonder if Young Master was crazy.

Going crazy because you can’t get what you want?
Shangguan Yue took a deep breath: "There are some things I can't explain to you."

If he said something like this, everyone would think he was crazy.

The thought flashed through his mind, and he froze for a moment. Was he really crazy? Was everything he saw real? The White Li Ghost, the Queen Jiang Ghost...

Why was he the only one who saw it, and no one around him could see it? Was all this just an illusion...

His eyes looked a little dazed.

The next moment he shook his head violently again.

Regardless of whether what he just saw was true or false, there was one thing he was sure was true.

His life was saved by Bai Li.

Without Bai Li, there would be no him today.

So to him now, Bai Li is real.

Shangguan Yue took a deep breath, her eyes regained their calmness, and she looked at Shopkeeper Cai.

"I have something important to do now."

Shopkeeper Cai looked at him and asked inexplicably, "Sleeping again?"

Perhaps this sentence sounded a little funny, Shangguan Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The laughter broke the slightly stagnant atmosphere in the warehouse.

Yes, it’s sleeping.

Bai Li said that he wanted to see if Miss Li could sleep well tonight, and then go to get the medicine tomorrow, which meant that he should sleep tonight and they would meet tomorrow.

"Lao Cai, believe me, sleep is very important to me." Shangguan Yue looked at him and said, "But I have a hard time falling asleep now."

There was fatigue and fear in his eyes, his thoughts were in a mess and his spirit was excited. Even if he wanted to sleep, he couldn't fall asleep.

"To be on the safe side, give me some drugs."
