White Fence Dream

Chapter 168: Annihilation of relatives
Did this slap cause bleeding from the mouth and nose?
The soldier who did it was a little surprised. He didn’t hit her hard, he just slapped her face…
Is it too delicate?
Bai Ying also saw it, was stunned for a moment, then took a step forward and looked at Zhuang Li who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed and motionless.

Although blood was flowing from his mouth and nose, he did not open his eyes and did not make any sound.

"Is he dead?" she asked without thinking.

Another soldier reached out his hand and sniffed his breath: "No."

Wang Degui also hurried forward and stretched out his hand to push Zhuang Li. Zhuang Li's body moved softly, but his eyes were not opened and he did not speak.

His face looked grim, he was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and he was unconscious.

Why did it suddenly become like this?
The queen didn't hit her.

Your Majesty's sister is so weak?
Bai Ying looked at this scene, and suddenly realized something. He sneered, "It turns out that you are playing tricks again! I warned you a long time ago not to use these tricks. This is the imperial city, not a place for you to run wild. You deserve what you are doing now."

Wang Degui asked in a low voice: "What happened to her?"

Bai Ying said coldly, "She has lost her soul." At this point, her expression was mocking, "When she was a child, she did this more than once or twice. Every time, the whole family was in chaos."

He fell unconscious for no apparent reason, and once he even stopped breathing. His father had prepared the coffin for burial, but as soon as he put it in the grave, he heard a child crying loudly from inside the coffin...
Bai Ying put her hand on her heart.

Although it seems like a memory from a lifetime ago, I still can't help but feel scared when I think about it now.

You can imagine how frightened the people around were at that time.

The neighbors were pointing and talking.

It already had an unlucky reputation, and now it was possessed by ghosts, so people were terrified and retreated away wherever it went.

From childhood to adulthood, I have consulted countless doctors and fortune tellers, and finally the conclusion was that I had amnesia.

"This child is prone to losing his soul, don't scare him."

Lost soul, don't be scared?
Who dares to scare her? Every time she scares others, she drives them crazy and makes her family members terrified!

"Empress, would you like to call the imperial physician?" Wang Degui asked cautiously.

Bai Ying sneered, "No need, the imperial physician can't cure her." Pointing at Zhuang Li, "Beat her."

Fight? Wang Degui was stunned.

"Wake her up." Bai Ying said.

Although, Wang Degui raised his hand——

Before his hand dropped, there was a commotion downstairs, as if someone was about to break in.

Bai Ying raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Except for His Majesty and the Queen, anyone who dares to approach will be beaten to death."

A palace maid came up from downstairs, her expression trembling: "Yes, the son of the Marquis of Dongyang, he said, he said, he had an appointment with the queen-"

"What pretext did Empress Bai use to beat to death those who approached her?" Zhou Jingyun's voice came from downstairs, "To murder the heir to the throne?"

Bai Ying's face darkened and he waved to the palace maid, who quickly turned around and left. A moment later Zhou Jingyun came up.

"Your Majesty, please use the term 'murdering the heir to the throne' less often." He said in a deep voice, "Using it on ghosts and monsters can help the heir to the throne, but using it on humans is worthless."

Bai Ying said coldly: "Thank you, Prince Zhou, for giving me advice."

Zhou Jingyun stood still and looked at Bai Ying: "The future of our Dongyang Marquisate depends on you, so of course I have to give you advice and think about it. Your Majesty, if the title of the royal heir is used to harm someone, it should be used on the most worthy person in Yijibi. If it is used on an unworthy person, it will only harm you."

Bai Ying smiled and said, "Really? Prince, you really care about me. Aren't you afraid that I will hurt your little wife?"

Zhou Jingyun seemed to look at Zhuang Li on the ground at this time and frowned: "It is indeed meaningless for you to hit her, but she is your own sister, as long as the queen is happy."

Bai Ying smiled: "Don't you feel bad, Prince?"

Zhou Jingyun watched Zhuang Li fall into coma, blood slowly dripping from his mouth and nose.

"Although Mr. Zhuang and she deceived me." He squatted down, lifted Zhuang Li up and leaned her against his chest, reaching out to wipe the blood from her mouth and nose, "But, I did marry her voluntarily."

In other words, he likes this person? If he likes her, then he will naturally feel sorry for her.

Bai Ying watched Zhou Jingyun lower his head and hug Zhuang Li, wiping the blood off Zhuang Li's face with his sleeve.

She pouted.

"Sir, that's not necessarily true. You think it was voluntary, but you were deceived. You may not understand my sister's ability..."

"Her behavior has nothing to do with me. It's her own fault. She wants to hurt me, but it will backfire on her."

"If you want to talk about danger, I was the one who was in danger just now—"

Zhou Jingyun interrupted her: "These are irrelevant. I brought the person to you. You have also verified whether she is your sister. What does the queen plan to do?"

Bai Ying looked at him and said, "What can I do? I will naturally put justice above all else and hand her over to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will decide whether she lives or dies."

Zhou Jingyun raised his head and said, "Your Highness, do you think that this will increase His Majesty's favor? His Majesty cares about the act of killing relatives for the greater good, not how many people are killed. The matter about your family, the Jiang Hou Party, has already been exposed. Now you are pulling out your sister. This will undoubtedly remind His Majesty of your identity and give others the opportunity to use your identity to cause trouble."

As he spoke, his hand did not stop to wipe the corner of Zhuang Li's mouth. There was a drop of blood, which perhaps had solidified because it had been so long.

He rubbed it gently, not wanting to leave any blood on Zhuang Li's face.

"It is true that for Her Majesty, the sinful body is also a means to keep you safe, but the heir will not always be with you. He will be born. When he is born, if your identity as a sinful body has not been forgotten, then for Her Majesty, it will be a death warrant."

Bai Ying looked at him with a changing expression. This is true...

She hugged Di Zhong tightly and looked at Zhou Jingyun. She saw that Zhuang Li's face had been wiped clean and was as white as jade. However, Zhou Jingyun did not stop and continued to tidy up Zhuang Li's hair, tying up her messy hair and putting back the hairpin that had fallen on the ground.

Bai Ying was stunned. In fact, it was just a simple action of wiping the face and stroking the hair, but she felt it was a tenderness and affection she had never seen before.

In fact, His Majesty treated her very intimately, but he had never stroked her face or hair like this, let alone looked at her like this.

Bai Ying was stunned for a moment, then sneered.

"After saying so much, the prince just wants her to live, right?"

"I advise you, my lord, don't think about whether it's good or bad for me first, think about it for yourself and for your Dongyang Marquis Mansion—"

Before she could finish her words, she saw Zhou Jingyun standing up holding Zhuang Li.

She subconsciously took a step back, but the five soldiers who were always around her also blocked her.

But Zhou Jingyun did not walk towards her, but turned around -

"Zhou Jingyun, don't think you can escape from here!" she shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jingyun did not walk towards the stairs, but walked to the railing.

"you--"

She was about to say something, but just as she opened her mouth, she saw Zhou Jingyun throw Zhuang Li out of his arms.

The words that were on Bai Ying's lips turned into a scream.

.......
.......
Zhuang Li felt as if the world was spinning around him.

I felt dizzy, my mouth and nose seemed to be blocked, and breathing became difficult.

Zhuang Li felt like he was going to faint. At that moment, the millet beads hanging in the sky cracked, emitting countless pearly lights, and the sky and the earth were scorching white.

Zhuang Li closed his eyes.

I could feel my body hanging in the air, but it was different from before. My hands and feet were not weak, and I couldn't tell up from down, left from right, or east from west.

This time her body was falling, but there was another hand above holding her tightly.

Pull it up and down, and the person will be disconnected.

pain.

Pain! Zhuang Li opened his eyes suddenly and saw the night sky was like ink, the lanterns were like stars, and Zhou Jingyun above was like the moon.

……

……

Bai Ying bit her lips hard to block out her screams. She stared at the woman hanging outside the railing with wide eyes.

The thing that was thrown just now didn't really fall down.

One of Zhou Jingyun's hands was still holding Zhuang Li's wrist.

He held the railing with one hand, grabbed the hanging fence with the other, and turned his head slightly.

"Your Highness." Zhou Jingyun looked at her, his expression dark under the flickering light, "Just sacrifice your relatives for the greater good, there's no need to come before His Majesty."

Bai Ying looked at the woman hanging outside the railing, her skirt fluttering in the wind, like a dead leaf floating in the wind, her heart pounding, he wanted to kill her...
real or fake?

Is he really willing to give it up?

"It was the young wife of the Marquis of Dongyang who died tonight." Zhou Jingyun's voice came softly, "And your sister has already died and has not appeared again. Isn't this better?"

Bai Ying stretched out her hands and hugged Di Zhong tightly. Her throat was dry and she couldn't make any sound, so she couldn't answer whether it was good or bad.

Zhou Jingyun no longer looked at her. As the lanterns swayed, a flash of anxiety flashed across his eyes. Is this okay?
There is no bathtub here.

Would dropping the railing wake her up?

If not, he could only carry her and force his way out. Even if the people arranged by Bai Ying really dared to take action, then, they would die together.

He clenched his hands, lowered his head, and met the pair of eyes hanging over the railing.

The palaces are like mountains, the lanterns are like the sea, and Zhuang Li's eyes are bright.

Zhou Jingyun couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Zhuang Li looked at him and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Let go," she mouthed.

let go……

Zhou Jingyun looked at her.

The Jielin Building is very tall, and Bai Ying deliberately chose the top floor. Standing here it feels like you are on the clouds overlooking the world.

The consequences of letting go are obvious.

He came to help her, to help her kill Zhuang Li.

Zhou Jingyun looked down at Zhuang Li, a smile still on his lips, and let go of his hand.

Bai Ying only felt a flash before her eyes, and felt dizzy, and the dead leaf disappeared from her sight.

The imperial bell in her hand fell to the ground, she covered her mouth with both hands and let out a scream.

……

……

Shangguan Yue stared at the two moons in the sky without blinking.

He didn't know how much time had passed, his eyes were red and burning, and even tears were flowing.

From time to time, eunuchs came to him to ask for his help, and drunken dandies he knew came to greet him, but he ignored them all and never took his eyes off them.

When his vision suddenly turned white, he let out a muffled cry, but despite this, he kept his eyes open.

Suddenly, everything in front of my eyes became pitch black.

Is he blind?

Shangguan Yue was terrified. How could he help Bai Li if he couldn't see!
At this moment, a female voice sounded in my ears.

"Shangguan Yue, throw it down."

Shangguan Yue's fear had not yet subsided, but she had already reached out to her chest, took out the lotus root and threw it away.

In the darkness, I heard a muffled thud in my ear.

The next moment a scream came from a distance and then faded away.

Then the noise came like a wave.

……

……

Boom, boom, boom.

The sound of drums echoed in the hall, the dancers spun rapidly on the drums, and the people sitting in the seats stood up and danced along.

Although the wife of the Marquis of Dongyang was still sitting upright, her body was swaying with a smile on her face.

She hadn't felt so relaxed and happy in a long time.

In the past, whenever I attended banquets, people would always mention Zhou Jingyun. When people talked about marriage, they would make a fuss and I would feel uncomfortable.

It’s different now. My son is back and I’ve married my daughter-in-law. I don’t have those worries anymore.

Now, she felt she was as happy as the emperor on the throne.

The emperor clapped his hands to the beat of the drum, and the queen joined in the fun.

A eunuch rushed in hurriedly, and as the message was passed down layer by layer, the chief steward Gao Twelve walked up to the emperor with a frightened look on his face and whispered to the emperor. The emperor clapped his hands, but instead of following the beat of the drum, he made a chaotic sound.

"what?"

"Where's the White Concubine?"

Although the hall was noisy, the music immediately slowed down when the emperor's voice sounded, and everyone's eyes were focused on the emperor.

Gao Twelve leaned closer to the emperor and said something. The emperor's complexion improved and he breathed a sigh of relief, but then his brows furrowed and he looked into the hall with a bit of pity on his face.

It passed over the royal family, passed over high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and fell on...Marquis of Dongyang.

Why are you looking at the Marquis of Dongyang? The Marquis of Dongyang’s wife sat up straight and looked over as well.

At the same time, Gao Twelve also said something to the Queen, who let out a cry of surprise and looked into the palace, past the royal family and relatives, to...
The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang met the Queen's gaze.

She was a little confused and did not react for a moment. The queen looked at her, sighed softly, and her eyes were full of pity.

what happened?
Many people from outside also ran in, whispering to each other. The buzz spread in the hall, and then countless eyes were focused here.

The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang felt her whole body was hot, her heart began to beat fast, and she felt a little dazed.

What happened?
Why are you all looking at her?

What's wrong with her? Is she misbehaving?
The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang raised her hand to touch her hair, and then saw Madam Xue stumbling towards her.

"Ali, Ali..." Mrs. Xue's face was pale and her voice was hoarse, "Ali is in trouble..."

The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang felt a buzzing in her ears and could no longer hear the noise around her.

Is she dreaming?

Otherwise, how could I hear such strange words!
Something happened to Ah Li?
How could anything happen to Ah Li!
