White Fence Dream

Chapter 188 Asymptotic
"Sir."

When Zhou Jingyun walked into the Zhang family clinic, Zhang Shilin hurriedly stood up from behind the desk to greet him.

Upon hearing this name, the other people who were seeing the doctor and getting medicine in the hall began to murmur.

"Is this the Prince of Dongyang?"

"It's so pretty."

"Just look at it less, or you'll get into trouble."

"The Queen's family is going to be wiped out because of him."

"And Du..."

"My neighbor's cousin was also arrested."

Hearing the discussion, Zhang Shilin felt a little embarrassed, but Zhou Jingyun looked normal: "I'm here to get my mother's medicine."

Ever since Zhuang Li passed away, Lady Dongyang Hou has been deeply saddened and has been taking medicine.

Zhang Shilin took out the medicine that he had prepared long ago, and handed over a box of incense: "This was made under the guidance of Madam Shao. It has a very good effect in calming the nerves. Madam, you still need to sleep more for your illness."

The medicine she made was real, and her existence was also real. Zhou Jingyun smiled slightly, took it and thanked her.

Although he didn't know why Mu Ran's expression became happy, Zhang Shilin was also very happy to see that his face looked a little more lively. He gave him some advice to take care of his health and sent him out.

Zhou Jingyun urged his horse forward, and stopped at the intersection. The guard in front turned back and asked, "Prince?"

Zhou Jingyun said: "Go through the East Market."

See what's delicious.

At that time, Zhuang Li came to the capital and could not go out due to his status. Whenever he had time, he would pass by the East Market, buy some food and bring it back for her to taste.

Now Zhuang Li is gone...
"Mother has not been eating well lately," he said, "Buy some mutton hu bing."

The guard responded, turned his horse around, and the master and servant headed towards the East Market.

Seeing Zhou Jingyun coming, the shop assistant of Li's shop greeted him warmly: "Your Highness hasn't been here for a while."

After saying this, the shop assistant felt something was wrong again, because something happened to the young lady of the Dongyang Marquis’s mansion…
Zhou Jingyun did not answer, but only said: "Twenty skewers of meat and three mutton sesame cakes."

The shop assistant apologized: "What a pity! The skewers will have to wait a while, and there are only two sesame cakes left."

Zhou Jingyun was slightly stunned and looked at the sky: "Isn't it already open? Are you not ready yet?"

"No, no." Another waiter laughed and said, "There was a young lady waiting before the store opened, and she just bought a batch of it."

Zhou Jingyun said "oh" in his heart and subconsciously looked towards the street. He saw a horse-drawn carriage moving slowly, and there seemed to be a faint aroma of meat wafting from it.

She is also a girl who loves to eat meat.

Zhou Jingyun watched the carriage turn the corner and disappear from his sight.

……

……

Mother Xu walked out from the inner courtyard and Zhou Jingyun went to meet her.

"Madam left some of the sesame cakes and meat skewers," said Mother Xu, handing the rest to him, "Your Highness, take the extra and eat it."

Zhou Jingyun looked at the amount returned and nodded: "As long as you are willing to eat it."

"Don't worry, my lord. Madam is eating and drinking normally now." Mother Xu said, "She will drink the medicine when it is brought to her. No need to persuade her."

I just don’t want to see the prince yet.

The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang suddenly refused to let the prince serve her. When asked, she did not tell the reason, but only said that she did not want to see this person.

No matter how much Mrs. Xu tried to persuade him, it was useless.

Zhou Jingyun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you see me or not, as long as mother is well."

Mother Xu sighed: "Prince, go and have a rest, it's a mess outside."

When the incident happened, Dongyang Hou immediately went to the other courtyard to meditate. The brothers who came back for the New Year also left. The house was now deserted and there were not many people. Zhou Jingyun did not divide the meat. He took it back and handed it to Chunyue: "I will keep one cake and two skewers of meat. You can share the rest."

Chunyue responded yes and went to the kitchen to ask for heating. Soon, she brought over the heated skewers and pancakes, as well as a bowl of porridge and side dishes.

Zhou Jingyun had changed into his casual clothes and was sitting by the window, eating slowly. The maids were not around to serve him as usual, and the laughter of the little girls could be heard from the yard.

"Divide the meat. Divide the meat."

"Young Madam used to share delicious food with us."

"Okay, okay, stop making noise and go to the kitchen to eat,"

The laughter faded away with the footsteps, and the courtyard returned to silence.

Zhou Jingyun was indoors and couldn't help but smile.

How can it be considered non-existent?

Although his idea of ​​"marrying" her was a fabricated idea by others, he lived with her in reality and left real traces, so even if he left, her existence was still there.

……

……

Shangguan Yue came to Yuqingtang, and the warehouse was filled with the smell of mutton.

"It smells good." he said.

Bai Li asked, "Have you eaten at the Princess's Mansion? I bought some mutton from the Li family's shop on the street."

Shangguan Yue nodded: "I've heard of their mutton, but I've never eaten it." She smiled again, "Compared to you, I'm like a young lady who never leaves the house."

Shopkeeper Cai frowned on the side, because the young master was not interested in eating and drinking. How could he be in the mood to eat and drink?

What happened to this "dead" Dongyang Marquis's wife? Was she just walking around like that every day? Wasn't she afraid of being recognized? In order to find out the truth about his wife's death, Zhou Jingyun put the entire Queen Yang family in jail...

Hmm, could this be a conspiracy?
Is it true that Zhou Jingyun killed his wife?
Did Zhou Jingyun know that his wife was still alive? Did he know that his wife and the young master were together?
It was too confusing and he couldn't think straight.

Shopkeeper Cai was just daydreaming when there was a knock on the warehouse door and someone rushed in.

"Sir, the prince consort and the princess have just sent someone to deliver the news. There is a conclusion to the Du family case. Tomorrow, His Majesty will announce to the world that the late prince and the late emperor were deceived by Du family, and that the father and son became enemies because they were manipulated and framed. The prince was wronged, and the surname Li must be restored for the late prince."

Although he had expected this result, when he heard this, Shopkeeper Cai couldn't help but burst into tears. He knelt down in front of the empty name on the wall and said, "Your Highness, you can finally have a name—"

Shangguan Yue also looked at the wall, still holding a skewer of meat in her hand, without laughing excitedly or shedding tears.

Isn't it interesting that a person's name is influenced by others?

It's more than just a name, it's also your life. He is your father and your king. He gave birth to you and can also kill you.

It's great to be an emperor and have power.

He lowered his head and took a bite of meat.

The visitor continued to speak excitedly.

"…It is just because Concubine Bai is about to give birth, and the Emperor cannot leave the capital, so he asked the Prime Minister to go to the Imperial Mausoleum to inform the late Emperor of the news. Your Majesty will personally go to offer sacrifices to the Heaven and ancestors later."

"…Also, the princess said to stop your ship."

Shangguan Yue frowned slightly: "This is not good, it will delay so many people's fun."

What kind of words are you saying to delay your fun? Shopkeeper Cai stood up and came over, saying in a hurry: "Sir, the princess is going to take you to the palace to meet the emperor and reveal your identity."

To be disrespectful, what is the purpose of clearing the late crown prince? It is for the sake of living people, and to restore the status of the royal son to this living son.

Shangguan Yue waved her hand, "I know, but I can't just stop. I'll open it again tonight. I'll tell everyone that I have to suspend it for a few days because of something at home. This is also considered keeping my word." She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Keeping one's word is a good quality for a royal family member."

The young master knew the importance of such a big thing, so Manager Cai said no more: "We will arrange things for the young master after he regains his identity."

For example, as soon as the emperor announced the prince's identity, they would immediately spread the news throughout the streets and alleys and throughout the world.

Shangguan Yue nodded and ate the last bite of meat: "Ali, let's go home."

Shopkeeper Cai stood at the door of the warehouse, unable to hide his joy as he watched them leave, but then he frowned as he looked at the two people walking side by side in front of him.

After you have regained your identity, it would be inappropriate for you to keep this woman around, right?
It doesn't matter if you are a dandy boy or the son of a concubine, but it doesn't matter if you are a child of the royal family, especially if you have to be from a famous and noble family and have the help of your in-laws.

This fugitive Bai Li was once the wife of the eldest son of Dongyang Marquis, and her identity is extremely complicated.

It's time to persuade the young master and explain the pros and cons to him.

Today I broke down the 4,000-plus words into smaller pieces, which may look better this way.
