White Fence Dream
Chapter 185 1 Eye
Chapter 185: A Glance
That night, the brightly lit capital city was not as quiet as usual. Soldiers and horses were seen galloping through the city from time to time, and cries were heard from time to time in the night.
I don’t know which other house was implicated and had its door broken into.
Bai Li was standing on the street and saw two beggars running out in a panic and passing by her.
"Let's find another place. There are many people being confiscated and killed tonight. It would be terrible if we were caught as runaway slaves."
"Well, maybe it's a good thing. Being in prison is warm and there's food to eat."
"You are crazy. Once you are put in the prison of the Supervisory Board, don't even think about getting out alive."
The two of them quickly disappeared into the night. Bai Li withdrew his gaze and looked forward. Even the unrelated beggars were in a panic, wondering how Zhou Jingyun was doing now.
That day, she saw Zhou Jingyun passing by Yuqing Hall and also heard the discussions on the street.
It is reasonable for people to ask for a detailed investigation when they know that his wife has died, but if it leads to an investigation of Queen Yang's family, people will still look at him strangely.
Knowing that his wife was not dead and was just making it easier for Bai Ying and Zhang Ze to do evil, how would Zhou Jingyun view himself when he now sees the result with his own eyes?
He must be in a lot of pain.
Bai Li raised his head, and a house appeared before him in the dim vision.
In fact, it’s been less than a month since I left, but it feels like I haven’t seen you for a long time.
However, he had walked through the Dongyang Marquis Mansion before leaving, so it was not unfamiliar to him. As the thought flashed through his mind, he was already standing inside the mansion.
Bai Li looked around and saw that this was the Marquis's courtyard.
I actually came here first.
The line of sight flickered, the door curtain was lifted, and a group of maids came out, surrounding the wife of Marquis Dongyang.
The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang raised her eyebrows and looked gloomy.
"It's so annoying. What happened to her?" She complained to Mother Xu beside her.
Mother Xu sighed, "That's right. Why do you get sick and faint all the time?"
The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang gritted her teeth and wanted to say something, but in the end she just quickened her pace and said, "Go and get the imperial physician."
A group of people passed through the white hedge like the wind.
Bai Li couldn't help laughing as he stood there, looking at the back of the wife of Marquis Dongyang. The wife was still angry even in her dreams, which showed how much psychological trauma this daughter-in-law brought to her.
Bai Li looked towards the courtyard where the prince was, and his vision suddenly lengthened. He was no longer standing on the road, but standing on the roof overlooking.
The surging sea of dreams made the courtyard dim and unclear. A maid was standing in the courtyard leaning against the door eating snacks, and another maid was running in from outside the door.
"Stop eating, the young lady is back."
"Young Madam won't stop me from eating when she comes back."
Is it Chunhong or Chunxiang's dream that she loves to eat so much? It's definitely not Chunyue.
Bai Li looked through the window into a room. Chunyue was busy putting clothes on the hanger.
"Young Madam, which one do you like?" She turned her head to look aside.
The woman at the desk was reading a book, without even looking up. "You choose, whatever you choose is beautiful."
Chunyue seemed helpless: "I can't pick one out of so many."
"Then put them all on."
Chun Yue stamped her feet and laughed, "Young Madam is joking again."
Bai Li couldn't help but laugh and looked around the Dongyang Marquis Mansion again. She came here because of a dream woven by others, and even if she left, she would still exist in this sea of dreams.
I don’t know what Zhou Jingyun is dreaming about at this time.
In fact, she would not snoop into other people's dreams unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, dreams are everyone's secret.
Especially Zhou Jingyun.
She didn't want to offend him.
But, since she is here, she might as well take a look from a distance.
Maybe Zhou Jingyun couldn't fall asleep and had no dreams, or maybe his dreams were restless and disturbing.
They separated suddenly, and she could no longer ask him how he was.
Her sight fell and she stood outside the door and looked inside. Under the dim light, Zhou Jingyun was sitting by the window reading a book.
For a moment, Bai Li couldn't tell whether this was a dream or reality, because Zhou Jingyun was reading a book without moving.
Just when Bai Li was in a trance, Zhou Jingyun raised his head and spoke to the person next to him: "Have you finished writing?"
There are people next to us.
Following his gaze, Bai Li saw a woman sitting at the desk next to him...
Unlike the blurry face in Chunyue's dream, Zhuang Li's face in Zhou Jingyun's dream was clear.
Bai Li couldn't help but take a step forward and look closely at "himself" in his dream.
She wore a single spiral bun and a pearl hairpin in her hair. She wore no makeup, her skin was snow-white, her eyebrows were dark and her lips were red, and she was beautiful and pretty.
So this is what she looks like in Zhou Jingyun's eyes. She is more beautiful than the "Zhuang Li" she portrayed.
Bai Li pursed her lips. No wonder Zhou Jingyun said she was prettier than Chunyue.
Zhuang Li, who was sitting at the desk, put down his pen and looked at him with a smile: "Please have a look, my lord."
Zhou Jingyun stood up and walked over, examining it carefully: "It's helpful."
Zhuang Li was not satisfied with this evaluation and raised his eyebrows and said, "I think my writing is better than the prince's."
Bai Li also raised her eyebrows. Did Zhou Jingyun think she was arrogant? Otherwise, why would he let her say such words in her dream?
She is obviously humble and polite.
Zhou Jingyun smiled in the sight, put one hand on his sleeve and picked up the pen with the other, and started writing.
Zhuang Li stood beside him and watched, smiling as he said, "It's better than what I wrote."
Bai Li curled her lips. It turned out that Zhou Jingyun could be proud in front of her. As the thought flashed through her mind, Zhou Jingyun, who was standing in front of the desk, suddenly raised his head and looked over. Their eyes met. Bai Li was startled and her figure shattered.
Zhou Jingyun suddenly opened his eyes and found everything around him empty.
He put his hand on his chest, feeling his heart beating violently. Zhou Jingyun lifted the bed curtains and slowly sat up. The night light had gone out, and the morning light had not yet come on. The room was quiet inside and outside.
Am I awake now, or am I dreaming?
He has been having trouble sleeping at night these days. He feels like he is asleep, but also like he is awake. He can't tell the difference between dreams and reality.
Zhou Jingyun raised his hand to his mouth and bit it hard. It hurt—
Zhuang Li told him that one cannot feel pain in dreams. When one cannot tell whether it is a dream or reality, one can try biting himself. If one is in a dream, it would even be difficult to bite himself.
At this moment, he not only bit down smoothly, but also felt the pain. It was not a dream.
He woke up.
So, was he dreaming just now?
He could no longer remember what he dreamed about, only a vague feeling remained, as if someone was watching him outside the door.
Zhou Jingyun got up and walked out. The door was closed. He looked at it quietly for a moment, then suddenly opened the door. The night wind blew the curtains. He raised his hand to lift the curtains and looked at the lights in the corridor projected in the courtyard. There was no one there.
Zhou Jingyun was stunned, then suddenly laughed again.
What was he expecting?
Why would she come here in the middle of the night? It’s not like she was really dead and turned into a ghost.
What's more, she can't appear in the current situation, otherwise both she and her husband will be guilty of the crime of death.
One dirty and messy person is better than two.
There were footsteps in the ear room, and the maid Chunyue came out, "Prince, are you awake?"
Zhou Jingyun asked what time it was?
Chunyue answered, "Prince, it's still early, you should rest for a while."
Zhou Jingyun nodded, lowered the curtain and closed the door.
Chunyue stood in the corridor, thinking about the prince wearing only a thin inner garment, barefoot, standing at the door, looking like he had suddenly woken up from a dream and ran out...
Did the prince dream about the young lady?
Chunyue thought about it and felt that she was not dreaming, nor did she dream about the young lady. She sighed and turned to go in.
……
……
Bai Li tilted his body and opened his eyes. The hustle and bustle on the ship was overwhelming, and the lights were bright, as if it was just nightfall.
Thinking of the scene just now, Bai Li found it a little funny again.
Zhou Jingyun was too alert. He could actually sense her presence. She didn't deliberately affect the dream, she was just watching, but he still noticed it...
In the hall on the second floor, Shangguan Yue stood in front of the card table and whispered to an old man. The next moment, the old man threw the cards away, clapped his hands and laughed. The other people at the table sighed and drove Shangguan Yue away. Shangguan Yue smiled and walked away. He raised his head and saw Bai Li leaning on the railing and looking down.
He smiled even more and walked up the stairs in two or three steps.
"Ali, go to sleep for a while," he said.
Bai Li's schedule was actually different from his. She would accompany him to welcome guests, play on the boat for a while, and go to bed at midnight. After all, she had to accompany him to sleep during the day.
Tonight I stayed with him because I was worried about him after hearing that the princess did not reveal the matter about the former crown prince.
Bai Li smiled and said, "I just woke up."
Shangguan Yue immediately praised: "It's amazing that you can fall asleep while sitting."
Bai Li laughed and pointed outside: "Look, it's almost dawn."
Shangguan Yue looked outside with her.
A new day is coming again.
Accompanied by the sound of drums signaling the start of court, the morning light enveloped the imperial city, and civil and military officials slowly walked towards the main hall one by one.
However, compared to the solemnity in the past, everyone was whispering to each other this time.
"I heard that the Queen escaped from her confinement last night and beat up Your Majesty?"
"real or fake?"
"Princess Bai was also frightened and fainted. The entire Imperial Hospital did not rest all night."
"Princess Jinyu stayed in the palace to look after it."
Entering the hall, the emperor came out as the eunuchs shouted loudly. He looked listless and had a scratch on his face. Princess Jin Yu also followed him. A eunuch placed a soft stool in the hall and Princess Jin Yu sat on it.
Even though she is a princess, she is not qualified to attend court.
Especially since Empress Jiang had just been driven out of the court a few years ago, another woman appeared.
"Today we will discuss the Yang case," the emperor said solemnly, "Princess Jin Yu was responsible for finding the witnesses and evidence in this case, so she needs to be present."
Princess Jinyu sat down and said, "This is also our family affair. As the eldest sister, I have to come. Please forgive me."
Having said that, if the emperor insisted on not letting Princess Jin Yu stay, he would probably withdraw from the court. The court officials said nothing more, but looked at each other in surprise. How could a woman like Princess Jin Yu actually find evidence? She was even more capable than Zhang Ze.
"When the late emperor bestowed a beauty on our prince, everyone said that it was Empress Jiang who sent someone to spy on the prince. I never dared to believe it, and only believed that it was out of sympathy from my father." The emperor said slowly, "I didn't expect that this was actually true. I didn't expect that it had already started before this. The queen..."
At this point the emperor choked up, covered his face with his hands and could not continue.
Princess Jin Yu quickly took over the conversation: "Your Majesty, let me tell you." After that, she looked into the palace and said, "The Queen's status is noble. To be cautious, this palace conducted a thorough investigation and visited old people. Finally, it was confirmed. The evidence has been handed over to Zhang Zhongcheng."
Zhang Ze and several clerks brought up two boxes filled with books and documents, scattered letters, and gold and jade utensils.
"These are all evidence from the search." Princess Jinyu said, her eyes sweeping across the palace, "Any of you who have any information concerning the Du and Yang families' private affairs must not hide it, must not protect each other, and must report it to the higher authorities."
As soon as she finished speaking, a loud voice rang out in the hall.
"Your Highness, I have evil deeds of the Du family to report."
Princess Jin Yu's face froze.
She just asked casually, but someone actually spoke? Shouldn't she keep silent at this time to avoid getting into trouble?
Who is so ignorant?
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw an official coming out from the end of the queue. At the same time, the sound was heard again.
"I, Shi Weixing, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, have reported that the Du family framed the late crown prince and alienated father and son. Your Majesty, please investigate this matter."
The former prince?
The emperor raised his head from his throne.
Princess Jin Yu stood up, looking somewhat incredulous and dazed.
Is this a dream?
I have clearly deliberately avoided this, so why am I still hearing this sentence!
Zhou Jingyun, who was standing in the queue, raised his head. His originally dull expression changed into a slight surprise. It seemed that something new had happened.
