White Fence Dream

Chapter 179 Replacement
A night of partying.

Wang Tong left the ship with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

It was all because he was dragged away to another place by Zhang Ze and imprisoned. He hadn't touched cards for a long time and his skills were rusty. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost money and embarrassed himself in front of Shangguan Xiaolang.

Wang Tong returned to Shengzu Temple cursing.

As soon as the morning service in the temple ended, Wang Tong followed his master and fellow disciples into the dining hall, where he wolfed down his food and complained a lot.

"You don't know what kind of life I've been through out there. It's just been a sea of ​​blood and corpses."

"What a crime."

"I was kept in a cell the whole time, and I was required to be present during every interrogation."

"He asked me to look around to see if there were any ghosts."

"Under such torture, even ghosts would be scared away."

The fellow disciples in the dining hall were listening, some had sad faces, some lowered their heads and recited silently, and the atmosphere became quiet.

Until footsteps were heard again.

"Is Wang Tong back?"

Wang Tong looked over and saw several middle-aged Taoists escorting Xuan Yangzi in. The people in the dining hall stood up one after another.

"Did you just come back this morning?" A man frowned and looked at Wang Tong.

Of course not, he arrived yesterday, but he did not go back to the Taoist temple. Instead, he waited until dark and went to the brothel to reward himself.

"It's all Zhang Ze's fault," Wang Tong said hurriedly. "He took me there, but then left in a hurry. I was left there with only a donkey to buy. I traveled a long way, suffered untold hardships, and finally arrived this morning."

Having said that, without waiting for the Taoist priest to ask any more questions, he hurriedly ran towards Xuan Yangzi.

"Grandfather, please don't let me go out again. There are no ghosts outside. I am devoted to Taoism and don't want to enter the secular world again. My grandfather is willing to donate incense to the Shengzu Temple again."

Xuan Yangzi had already walked over. He looked back when he heard the voice and suddenly smiled: "There are no ghosts outside, but you can't avoid the world here. Look, you have brought it back."

What did you bring back?
Red dust?

Wang Tong was stunned for a moment and looked at himself subconsciously. He had to bet that last night's partying did not get his clothes dirty.

It was normal for the Taoist robe to be worn out, but the belt was neatly arranged, with a whisk tied on one side and a Sanqing bell hanging on the other. These were the two magical instruments given to him by Xuan Yangzi when he was asked to leave the Supervisory Board. He always carried them with him. Apart from that, everything was clean.

Others followed suit and looked at him, and those who were closest to him even lifted up his robe.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Xuan Yangzi picked up the tea on the table, dipped his fingers in the water, and flicked it towards this side.

The Taoists in the room only felt the spring rain hitting their faces.

As the rain and fog dissipated, the sight was still on Wang Tong, and someone suddenly shouted "Flowers."

flower?
Everyone was stunned. At this moment, looking at Wang Tong again, they saw that in the gray field, there was indeed a milky white and tender yellow flower.

The flower was tied to his belt.

Wang Tong stretched out his hand and picked up the flower with trembling hands, rubbing his eyes and widening them in disbelief. The flower was still in his hand, and he could feel its tenderness and faint fragrance.

“Where did this come from!?”

"Where's my Sanqing Bell?"

……

……

As the morning light grew brighter, the Hualou boat docked at the shore fell into silence.

The curtains were not drawn yet, and the morning light shone on the fair fingers, in which a small Sanqing bell was pinched.

The hand shook and the bell rang.

"There is no sound." Shangguan Yue said, "Wang Tong seemed to have said that ordinary people can't hear it, only demons and ghosts can hear it. What they hear is not the sound of a bell, but some thunderous devilish sound, and then their souls will fly away."

Bai Li said: "It's not that scary. It's actually used for self-reflection. If the person wearing the bell falls into a trance, the bell will ring and the person will wake up."

Of course, she did not let Wang Tong fall into a maze last night, nor did she use any magic. She just supported him and stole his bell. Then she tied a daffodil on Wang Tong's body and used magic to make Wang Tong believe that the flower was the Sanqing Bell. His thoughts were the same as the flower's thoughts, and everyone could see these thoughts.

As for the fact that he would definitely be discovered after entering the Shengzu Temple, Bai Li didn't care.

Wang Tong had been hanging around outside for so many days, who knew where he was lost? Originally, he had gone to another place to exorcise demons and monsters. Maybe this was a lesson taught to him by the demons and monsters from other places.

Unless Xuan Yangzi comes to the ship himself to search her.

She is not afraid even if Xuan Yangzi comes.

He gave her sister a Sanqing Bell, couldn't she get a Sanqing Bell herself?

All beings are equal.

She was just about to argue with the old Taoist.

Bai Li tied the Sanqing Bell around his waist.

"Get ready for bed." She said, reaching for the book on the table, her face beaming with joy, "I'll tell you a good story today."

Shangguan Yue was about to say something when an auspicious voice rang out from outside the door: "Young Master, Young Master."

Now Shangguan Yue has returned to her reversed day and night schedule. If someone disturbs her at this time, it must be something important. Shangguan Yue said, "Come in."

Jixiang opened the door and came in. As expected, he saw the maid sitting next to the young master. At this time, her face was not covered with pearls. She had almond eyes and rosy cheeks, and her eyes were full of smiles, bright and dazzling.

Jixiang quickly looked away and saw a daffodil hanging around the maid's waist.

He was a little dazed.

"What's wrong?" Shangguan Yue asked.

Jixiang came to his senses and stepped forward: "Sir, Zhang Ze has surrounded the Yang family."

Shangguan Yue was stunned: "Which Yang family?"

"Queen Yang family."

.......
.......
"I'll go out and look for—"

Wang Tong came out of the dining hall dejectedly, holding a bunch of daffodils.

"Go find Zhang Ze first."

"That's right. This is all because of Zhang Ze. If I hadn't gone out with him, I wouldn't have lost the Sanqing Bell."

"That's right. There's no need to look for it anywhere. The Sanqing Bell must have been stolen by a ghost."

"Zhang Ze is catching ghosts. This ghost is coming for him. I am the one caught in the crossfire. I should go find him."

Wang Tong walked out cursing. Zhang Ze, the cruel official, had never given him a good look and always looked at him as a waste. This time when he went to see him, he would definitely be mocked.

But there was no other way. If he lost his ancestor's magic weapon, his grandfather would definitely not be able to compensate for it, and he would be in trouble.

Wang Tong walked to the door, opened it, and someone rushed in.

"Oh, Taoist priest, please open the door. Something big has happened."

Wang Tong was startled and was about to kick the person away, but luckily the person turned out to be a eunuch.

The eunuch came here, of course, on the emperor's orders. Wang Tong did not dare to go too far, so he stopped and asked unhappily, "What's the matter?" He muttered again, "It's not a big deal, there's a ghost, I'm going to find Zhang Ze." The eunuch was in a trance, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said, "Zhang Ze said it wasn't a ghost, it was a person, a man-made disaster."

Wang Tong was stunned, and then he said anxiously: "I don't care whether it's a human or a ghost, he will be responsible for the loss of my things!"

The eunuch was stunned: "What?"

At this time, other people also came over, drove the dazed Wang Tong away, and asked the eunuch what he came for.

The eunuch regained consciousness and said hurriedly, "Zhang Ze investigated the Yang family and said that the ghosts that haunted the palace were the work of the Yang family. Your Majesty asked me to ask Taoist Xuan Yangzi whether it was a human or a ghost."

Zhang Ze investigated the Yang family? The Queen's Yang family?
Wang Tong's eyes widened. This cruel official really dared to investigate anyone. It had only been a short time and the Queen's house was surrounded...
But seeing the calm expressions of the other Taoists, it was obvious that they were not surprised.

Yes, when the late emperor was alive, he would investigate the princes or punish the princesses every other day, and he could even kill the crown prince.

How can the royal bloodline be like this? What is a queen?

"Please wait a moment." They said calmly, without letting the eunuch in. They just turned around to ask Xuan Yangzi, and came back soon, "The ancestor said he doesn't ask about human affairs, please make the decision yourself, Your Majesty."

After saying this, he closed the door without waiting for the eunuch to say anything else.

The eunuch shouted a few times outside and left helplessly.

Wang Tong stood inside the door hesitating. Zhang Ze actually went to make trouble with the Yang family. If he went to find Zhang Ze now, Zhang Ze would definitely ignore him.

"Wang Tong, do you want to go out or come in?" asked the young Taoist priest guarding the gate, "I'm waiting to lock the door."

Wang Tong said hurriedly, "No, no, I'm going to the hall to reflect on my mistakes first. Light the lamp."

The Yang family is the emperor's in-laws, and they have been supporting the emperor greatly. If Zhang Ze attacks the Yang family, it will surely be bloody, so it's better to avoid them.

……

……

"Li Liulang!"

A female voice shouted angrily from outside the hall.

The emperor, who was sitting at the desk, was startled and stood up subconsciously.

"Empress, please calm down..."

Gao Twelve tried to stop him but was pushed aside by the Queen.

She walked in quickly, holding her skirt, her eyes red and her face fierce.

Seeing her like this, the emperor couldn't help but take a step back even though he was standing behind the table: "Ayuan - watch your words and actions, you are the queen now -"

"I am the queen and your first wife!" the queen shouted, ran to the table, raised her hand and swept the memorials to the ground.

The emperor couldn't help but think of the days in the palace. Of course, there were no memorials on the table at that time, only simple tea and rice.

"If you don't want to eat this meal, don't eat it!" When his wife Yang Yuan was angry, she would overturn the dining table.

He did it with a clear conscience.

Because this is the rice sent by my father-in-law.

After so many years, he no longer dreamed of eating those meals. He never expected to see this scene again. The emperor was so angry that he trembled: "Ridiculous!"

The queen showed no fear at all. She raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Ridiculous? Isn't it ridiculous? We have shared hardships and prosperity for more than ten years, and you want to get rid of me, your wife who has been with you for only a few years."

After saying that, he looked around again.

"Where's Bai Ying? Get out here!"

She said as she walked around.

"Bitch, I didn't mean to hurt you, get out of here, I'm going to kill you now!"

Gao Twelve and the Queen's maids rushed over, hugged the Queen's legs and hands, kowtowed and cried, "Your Majesty, please don't do this."

The queen couldn't stand being surrounded by so many people and couldn't leave.

"Your Majesty, I am so terrified..." Bai Ying came in from outside the hall at this time, her face was pale, and she was about to kneel down.

Although her belly was bulging, her face was still as big as a palm, and she looked even thinner. At this moment, she was trembling and about to fall. The emperor rushed over and said, "Don't kneel. Don't hurt the child."

Wang Degui hurriedly supported Bai Ying, allowing the emperor to embrace her in his arms in time the moment Bai Ying knelt down.

The queen was so angry that she threw her sleeves again: "The bitch hurt me——"

"Yang Yuan! I ordered the investigation. It has nothing to do with Concubine Bai." The emperor shouted angrily, "I haven't even gone to question you yet, but you're making trouble. What's this? Are you guilty of something?"

She hadn't committed any crime yet, so why should she feel guilty? She did want Bai Ying's life, but not now, and she hadn't done it yet. She didn't expect that this bitch would strike first. The queen didn't feel guilty at all, she was just furious.

Moreover, it seems more justified to make trouble.

The emperor has always been suspicious. The more humble you are, the less he trusts you.

Look, even though she entered the palace in such a threatening manner, the emperor did not let the guards drag her away.

"I arranged for her to go to Jie Lin Lou. How could I harm her there? Isn't it known to everyone?" The Queen stamped her feet and shouted, "Liu Lang, are you stupid?"

The emperor frowned.

Gao Twelve said anxiously: "My queen, you misunderstood. His Majesty did not say that you harmed Concubine Bai. The Supervisory Council is investigating the emperor's uncle..."

The Queen spat in his face and said, "The King's Uncle and I are siblings. If you investigate him, you are investigating me." Then she looked at the Emperor, and looked at Bai Ying who was trembling in the Emperor's arms. "Sixth Brother, how could you believe such a ridiculous thing? You know that I want this child, so why would I harm her at this time? Even if I wanted to harm her, I would wait until she is born."

Gao Twelve kowtowed hurriedly: "My Lady, please don't talk nonsense."

The emperor was not angry. His frown relaxed, and he felt helpless. Of course, he knew his wife's temperament. He was not talking nonsense. It was normal for her to have such thoughts. So, in this case, there was really no need to do it before the baby was born...

Seeing that the emperor's expression had softened, the queen said aggrievedly, "Liu Lang, don't you know who Zhang Ze is? He is making up a false accusation..."

The emperor frowned again, looking unhappy. The queen's words were not pleasant to hear, and he did not like to hear them. However, Zhang Ze's past behavior was indeed...
"His Majesty!"

Zhang Ze's voice came from the room, and someone walked in.

"The Queen may want this child, but the Yang family may not."

When the queen saw him, she was furious and sneered, "How dare you talk nonsense? I am the Yang family, and the Yang family is me. The Yang family exists because of me. Now, my brother and father have always put me first. What I want is what the Yang family wants."

That's true. When Yang Yuan married him, the Yang family provided for him with all their strength because they wanted a rich and prosperous future. The emperor understood the Yang family's intentions very well.

“Zhongcheng, this matter…” he wanted to speak.

Zhang Ze had already spoken, looking at the queen: "Your Majesty is wrong, the Yang family does not value you, but Queen Jiang."

Empress Chiang!

When this name sounded, the atmosphere in the hall stagnated.

The emperor's expression also changed: "Zhang Ze, what do you mean?"

Zhang Ze looked towards the emperor and bowed his head, "Your Majesty, I have found out that the Yang family had contact with Empress Jiang."

He raised his head again and glanced at the queen who was standing there in a daze.

"Before marrying your Majesty."

Just like when the book was first published, there are few words and few updates, and new chapters are slowly unfolding. If you are not satisfied with the reading, you can save the articles.
