White Fence Dream

Chapter 190 Preaching
At noon, the streets were crowded with people and cars, and the carriages were moving slowly. Bai Li sat in the carriage and listened to a sudden commotion outside.

"Big news, big news..."

"The Queen is going to be beheaded?"

"Not yet."

"It was the former crown prince. The former crown prince was framed by the Du family."

After hearing this, some people exclaimed, "The former crown prince was actually framed! His death was so unjust!"

But some people also raised the question, "What happened to the former crown prince?"

It had been more than ten years since the incident of the late crown prince, and it was a taboo in the imperial court. Many people who were children at that time and have now grown up have a vague memory of it, so people started talking about the past again on the streets, and for a while the teahouses and taverns became even busier.

"Your Majesty has not given up on this case even after such a long time. Your Majesty has devoted all his energy to your father and brother."

"Your Majesty is generous, kind and filial."

"Fortunately, your majesty became the emperor."

"Your Majesty should be the emperor! God has eyes!"

Along with the news of the former crown prince being framed, praises for the emperor were heard in the streets. Hearing this, Bai Li lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked around, and saw scattered people mixed in the crowd, young and old. The way they spoke and the content of their speeches were different, but the meaning was the same: praising the emperor.

Bai Li pursed his lips. These people should be arranged by Yu Qingtang. They praised the emperor as a benevolent monarch, and a benevolent monarch must show kindness to his nephew who was lost and found again.

"…..Well, come to think of it, the former crown prince was not harmed by Empress Jiang…"

Such words seemed to flash across the noisy voice, but were immediately stopped by booing.

"You are crazy, what are you talking about."

"The queen wasn't beheaded, so I caught you and beheaded you first."

Bai Li couldn't help but laugh. Hmm, this should be Shen Qing's man. She jumped off the carriage and said to the driver, "You go to the teahouse next door and wait. I'll just walk around."

The driver was used to it. Whenever Miss Bai went out, she would stop the car at the entrance of the market and go shopping by herself. He only had to wait there.

Jixiang was curious about what she was going to do, but the young master had said that he was not allowed to interfere with Miss Bai, let alone follow or spy on her.

"Yes." The driver responded and watched Bai Li put on the veil.

She had a slim figure, and even her back was eye-catching in the crowd, but it seemed that in the blink of an eye, the driver could no longer see her.

Not to mention that the young master didn't allow him to follow, even if he did, he couldn't guarantee that he could keep up.

The driver threw the reins to the waiter who was greeting customers nearby, then went in and sat down to drink tea, especially since there was so much excitement to listen to today.

……

……

Today, Shen Qing was in the small building, and Huang Niangzi came in and said, "Bai Li is here."

Be polite today.

She did not transform into the appearance of Mrs. Huang, and she did not ask anyone to report it, although when she did, she was already at the door.

Hearing Shen Qing's sneer, Bai Li said, "We are close friends, why should we be polite?" Then he walked in, sat down, and poured himself some tea.

Mrs. Huang lowered her head and retreated. Standing outside the door, she felt a little funny. The scene was really weird.

They wanted her life, and she was dealing with them with her life at stake.

This girl...is quite interesting.

"I thought you had achieved your goal, packed up your things and ran away, never to show up again." Shen Qing said indifferently.

Bai Li said, "How could that be? Mr. Shen is so capable." He smiled and said, "How could he use him once and then run away?"

Shen Qing sneered: "You are smart. I can do what you want, and I can also make it disappear."

Bai Li said with a smile: "I know that you powerful people like this kind of trick."

She even commented on it, and Shen Qing said coldly: "I have done what you asked me to do, now it's time to talk about what you promised."

She said there was a way to make Her Majesty the Queen again.

I listened to this little girl pointing fingers just because of what she said.

Moreover, in order to persuade Wei Xing this time, he spent a lot of time and effort and was even threatened.

"I did this for the queen. I want to thank her for giving me the qualifications to serve in the court. But from now on, I don't owe her anything. If you come to bother me again and intend to disrupt the peace of the country, I will sue you even if I sacrifice my life."

What an ungrateful thing!
They are all ungrateful people!
Shen Qing placed the teacup heavily on the table.

"Miss Bai, please don't play a trick on me."

Bai Li smiled and said, "How could that be? I'm not the kind of person who takes pleasure in playing tricks on others and doesn't treat them as human beings."

Shen Qing ignored her sarcasm and just looked at her coldly. "Wait a little longer, what you did has not yet come to fruition." Bai Li said.

And you still say you're not kidding!

Shen Qing said, "At this moment, the emperor is in the imperial study, affixing his seal to the edict that the former crown prince will restore the surname Li. Wait a moment, and you don't have to go out. Standing by the window, even if you are in Sanqufang, you can see the messenger responsible for informing the world riding by and shouting. What else do you want?"

He sneered at this.

"Are you still thinking about Zhou Jingyun's predicament?"

"Yes, although Mrs. Du admitted to framing the crown prince, His Majesty will no longer believe them, and the case of framing Mrs. Yang will be left unresolved."

"However, Zhang Ze is in charge of Yang's case. He will not let them go. Even without Du's testimony, Yang's crimes are enough to make the emperor want to kill them."

"Zhou Jingyun, in order to cover up his wife's fake death, killed hundreds of people in his clan. His hands are stained with blood that cannot be washed away."

Bai Li raised the teacup and splashed the water on his face.

This action was unexpected, and Shen Qing was stunned for a moment even though he was smiling. Although he was born a musician, no matter he was a musician in front of the late emperor or the right-hand man of Empress Jiang, he had never been looked down upon, let alone bullied, because of his talent, intelligence and means.

This was the first time someone dared to throw tea in his face!
"How dare you, you brat!" he shouted with a dark face.

"Why am I so bold? Throwing water on your face is nothing. I've killed you in the illusion before!" Bai Li said coldly, "I'm asking you to calm down. Zhou Jingyun has no complaints, and I have no complaints, but you keep talking about it. What are you complaining about? You know that all this is because of you. It's all caused by you. Are you guilty?"

Shen Qing looked at her, unable to refute for a moment.

"I told you to wait, so just wait." Bai Li didn't give him a chance to speak, and looked outside the door and shouted, "Mrs. Huang!"

Mrs. Huang, who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, was startled. She hesitated for a moment, slowly opened the door, and looked at Shen Qing with a little embarrassment.

"I understand now. Men are self-righteous and don't listen to others." Bai Li said, "Madam Huang, are you awake now?"

Mrs. Huang forced a smile awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

Bai Li didn't force her to answer: "You can arrange your people to go to the palace now to watch and see if there is anything else happening besides the edict of the former crown prince restoring the surname Li."

What else happened? Huang Niang almost asked, but when she saw Shen Qing's wet face and Bai Xiaoniang's cold face...
"Yes." She answered without saying anything else, and without waiting for Shen Qing to speak, she turned and walked out.

Bai Li didn't even look at Shen Qing: "Go out, ask the pretty ladies to play music for me, and bring a table of food. I'll be waiting here, don't worry that I'll run away."

Shen Qing flicked his sleeves and strode out, slamming the door shut. He stood in the corridor with his chest heaving violently and his teeth clenched tightly.

He was in his sixties, but he was ordered around like this by a little girl.

Huang Niangzi stood aside and whispered to comfort her: "Don't always yell when you talk to the young lady."

Shen Qing looked at her and said nothing.

Huang Niangzi coughed lightly: "Don't be angry, think about it, she is going to become an empress, well, being scolded in front of the empress is nothing."

But she is not yet, and Shen Qing said coldly: "The Queen has never scolded me." After that, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Looking at Shen Qing's back, Huang Niangzi couldn't help laughing out loud, but quickly stopped laughing and looked behind her. This young lady was indeed very fierce.

"Come here, Madam Lanxiang, Madam Lvyi." She called out to the people downstairs, "Bring your zithers and pipa, and come upstairs."

After saying that, she went downstairs again. She went to arrange the meal herself. This young lady was very picky about food, so she might as well scold her later.

……

……

"Prince, Prince."

The servant Feng'er rushed into the inner courtyard and almost bumped into Chunyue.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Chunyue scolded, "The prince is resting."

After meeting His Majesty early this morning, the Crown Prince returned home, had dinner and went to bed. The past few days had been chaotic and the Crown Prince had not slept well.

"What is the prince doing in the inner courtyard in broad daylight?" Feng'er complained, "You can rest in the study. It's hard to find someone outside if you have something to do."

Ever since the young lady passed away, the prince has been staying in the inner house day by day.

After saying that, he stepped past Chunyue and ran inside.

What happened? Chunyue followed nervously.

"Princess Jinyu's husband brought Shangguan Xiaolang to see His Majesty?"

Zhou Jingyun was not asleep. He was lying on the couch with his face covered by a book. When he heard Feng'er's words, he stood up and tied his clothes, saying, "It's nothing. The princess has put a lot of effort into the Du case this time. It's time for her to ask for credit now."

Feng Er shook his head quickly and relayed the news from outside: "No, no, it's said that Shangguan Xiaolang is not Shangguan Xiaolang, but the son of the late crown prince!"

The son of the late crown prince!
Zhou Jingyun's hand, which was tying his belt, paused slightly.

That Shangguan Yue? !

I'm lazy and write half a chapter, hehe
