White Fence Dream

Chapter 191 Others
Zhou Jingyun knew Shangguan Yue, but not too well.

When he just returned to Beijing last year, this young man followed him several times, but then he lost interest and disappeared.

This is nothing. He has never returned to Beijing and is considered to be "famous". It is normal for young people to be curious. After seeing him, they found that he was no different from others and left.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Yue turned out to be the son of the late crown prince.

Zhou Jingyun thought again of the child he had seen standing at the back door outside the princess's mansion, with his panicky and dim eyes.

It turned out that those eyes contained more panic than he thought.

When he arrived at the imperial city, many officials had already gathered there after hearing the news.

"real or fake?"

"How could anyone have survived? The soldiers surrounded Yongxingfang at the time. Not only people, but even chickens and dogs couldn't escape."

"Maybe the child was sent away early?"

"Princess Jinyu has endured humiliation for so many years?"

……

……

Inside the Hanliang Palace, the emperor looked at the family of three kneeling before him, his mind still a little confused.

Just now he was reading the drafted imperial edict, recalling the days when he was a prince living in fear and trembling with fear, and he couldn't help crying.

Gao Twelve beside him hurriedly said some nice words to comfort him, "It has spread all over the outside world, and everyone is praising Your Majesty." "Your Majesty is thinking about my elder brother and clearing the name of his father and brother." "You are unprecedentedly wise."

These words were heard by several eunuchs outside who were trying to curry favor with His Majesty, but he intercepted them and snatched them away.

Now that the Queen is in trouble, his life is not easy either. He is very close to the Yang family, and now he has to do everything he can to please the Emperor.

The emperor was indeed happy to hear these words.

"That's my father and my brother. No matter what happened before, I can't be disloyal, unfilial, unkind, or unjust."

Just as I was crying and laughing happily, Princess Jin Yu and her family of three arrived.

The emperor immediately invited them in. Before he could praise Princess Jin Yu for her contribution, Princess Jin Yu and her family of three knelt down.

"I am guilty. I have been hiding something from my father and the world." Princess Jin Yu kowtowed and sobbed.

What kind of trouble has she caused? The emperor knew that she would not be able to maintain her virtuous and kind attitude for a few days, he thought, and he knew his sister's temperament very well.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, get up and tell me." He said helplessly.

Princess Jin Yu raised her head and said, "Back then, I secretly hid the prince's son."

The emperor didn't react to what she said at first. Shangguan Xiaolang, who was kneeling behind Princess Jin Yu, sobbed and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember me?" The young man raised his head and wiped his face vigorously with his sleeve, as if wiping off a layer of powder and frost, then looked at him with tears in his eyes, "I am Li Yu, Yuelang."

……

……

"The late crown prince's son was born on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, and the late emperor nicknamed him Yuelang."

Hearing this, Bai Ying interrupted Zhang Ze unhappily: "I don't care what his name is." He asked anxiously, "Is he really the son of the late crown prince? The eldest grandson of the emperor?"

Zhang Ze nodded: "No matter how brave Princess Jin Yu is, she would not pretend to be a member of the royal family. It must be him."

He smiled again when he said this.

"When the news of the prince consort keeping a mistress suddenly broke out, I felt strange. It turned out to be false."

"However, Princess Jinyu is heartless and timid. Would she take such a big risk to hide the son of the late crown prince?"

"It certainly wasn't her doing."

"It's Prince Consort Shangguan!"

"Do you know who Prince Consort Shangguan once loved? It was the former Crown Princess."

"So it must be that Prince Consort Shangguan protected the child for the sake of his beloved."

Bai Ying interrupted him: "I am not interested in the past of these dead people. I just want to know, this person who should have died is alive again, what impact does it have on us?"

Zhang Ze's eyes fell on Bai Ying's belly and said, "That's a really big impact."

Seeing his gaze, Bai Ying also reacted, raised her eyebrows and sneered: "What a wishful thinking! He just restored the surname Li, not his father's status as the crown prince. He is just the eldest grandson, and it is not his turn to rule the Zhou Dynasty."

Having said that, but...
"This kid is quite capable." Zhang Ze said.

He kept his identity hidden until he was restored to his status as the former crown prince.

Because he knew that if he did not restore his identity and jump out, he would not be considered a royal family member, but a lowly bastard. When the late emperor punished the late crown prince, he did not punish only one person, but the entire family.

"It turns out that he is the person behind Princess Jin Yu. Princess Jin Yu originally wanted to use her identity to control him and came to me for cooperation, but in the end, she was solved by this guy."

Well, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice is also Shangguan Yue’s man. No, his name should be Li Yu now.

"It's like the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." Zhang Ze said, "I didn't expect that we would make wedding clothes for him."

The original intention was to use Lady Du to get rid of the Queen, but he did not expect that using Lady Du would be a convenience for others. No, using Lady Du must have been something that others had planned long ago.

Yuqing Hall.

Zhang Ze touched his chin and narrowed his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Wang Degui ran in hurriedly from outside.

He was sent to keep an eye on the emperor. Bai Ying asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"

Wang Degui said: "Princess Jin Yu said that she was powerless and could only save the child. She also said that when His Majesty was demoted, she was powerless. As a member of the royal family, she could only watch her brothers and sisters suffer..."

Bai Ying was too lazy to listen to Princess Jin Yu's nonsense: "What about His Majesty? Did you admit it?"

Zhang Ze laughed beside him: "Your Majesty has been praised as a benevolent monarch, how can a nephew not acknowledge him?"

Wang Degui nodded, looked at Bai Ying and whispered, "Your Majesty has acknowledged it, and he even hugged that little Shangguan and cried bitterly, saying that he had held him in his arms when he was a child."

Bai Ying sneered, "Nonsense, the former crown prince has no eyes for other brothers, and rarely lets them see his own precious son, so how can he hold him?" After saying that, he looked at Zhang Ze, "What should we do now? A nephew suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and there is also that Princess Jinyu. I was wondering how to change my ways, but it turns out that he has bad intentions!"

What on earth was going on? Why was she so unlucky? Before she could even deal with the queen, these people showed up and showed up with fierce force and greed.

She couldn't help but hold her stomach and groan.

Wang Degui hurriedly supported her and said, "My lady, please don't get angry. Be careful of the child."

Zhang Ze also frowned: "You should be calmer. If they come out, they will come out. He is just a nephew. Besides, it is better for them to come out. If they stay behind, it will be troublesome. Now they are in the open..."

He smiled coldly.

"His good days are over."

Bai Ying took a few deep breaths: "I know, I won't panic." She looked down at her belly, then looked at Zhang Ze, "That matter must be foolproof."

Zhang Ze nodded: "Don't worry, Madam, everything has been arranged."

Although Zhang Ze was very reliable, Bai Ying stroked her belly gently, but her frown did not completely relax.

Ever since Bai Li showed up, her luck has been really bad. It's all because of this unlucky thing!
"Shangguan Yue said that after his father's surname was restored, he went to guard the imperial mausoleum to atone for his father's sins and fulfill his filial piety on his behalf."

"Don't call her Shangguan Yue anymore. Call her Li Yu now."

"Not so fast, the imperial edict hasn't been issued yet."

"Your Majesty has appointed Shaoqing of the Zongzheng Temple."

The Zongzheng Temple is responsible for the royal family, and they are going to allow Li Yu to be included in the clan.

The officials gathered together and were discussing among themselves when someone whispered a reminder.

"They are out. Princess Jinyu and the others are out."

The discussions suddenly quieted down. Several people looked forward and saw Princess Jin Yu sitting in a sedan chair and slowly walking towards the palace gate, with Shangguan Fu Ma and Shangguan Yue following on her left and right.

Princess Jin Yu had a look of joy on her face, while Prince Consort Shangguan looked a little dazed. After glancing at the two of them, everyone's eyes fell on Shangguan Yue.

In the past, this concubine's son was not allowed to enter the imperial palace. It was only after he was recognized by the princess not long ago that he was allowed to enter and leave the imperial city. Despite this, the court officials and dignitaries were too lazy to even look at him.

If you look carefully at this moment, it is almost dusk, the sky and the earth are dim, but the young man is not drowsy at all, but rather exceptionally bright.

He had a fair complexion and picturesque features. His previous dandy air had now disappeared, replaced by a graceful demeanor.

The officials gathered on the roadside, and the two sides would not meet face to face, nor did they need to greet each other.

Just as they were about to walk over, Shangguan Yue suddenly stopped, looked at them, smiled, and waved her hand.

"Prince Zhou," he said.

Everyone was startled and looked behind them. Zhou Jingyun had been standing behind and listening to them talking.

Zhou Jingyun was obviously a little surprised, but he immediately raised his hand to return the greeting.

Shangguan Yue did not come over and did not say anything else. She withdrew her gaze and followed Princess Jin Yu.

"This superior...hmm."

Because there was no imperial edict, people did not want to call him Li Yu, but it was obvious that he was Li Yu, so it was not appropriate to call him Shangguan Xiaolang.

I didn't know what to call him for a moment, so I just said something vaguely.

"Are you very familiar with Prince Zhou?" everyone asked curiously.

Zhou Jingyun smiled and said, "Not really familiar."

Not familiar with him? Then why did you greet him from so far away?

"Maybe he's thanking me." Zhou Jingyun said, looking at the figure disappearing in the palace gate, and said lightly, "After all, it was me who asked for an investigation into my wife's death, and that's how Du was found."

Everyone was stunned, looking at Zhou Jingyun's calm and cold face, and suddenly they had complicated thoughts.

Could this be Zhou Jingyun's real intention? Not for Yang, but for the eldest grandson of the emperor?
……

……

With a bang, the door was slammed open.

The piano music in the room and the spinning woman stopped and looked at Shen Qing who rushed in.

"Everyone go down, everyone go down," he shouted.

The zither lady and the dancer looked at each other and subconsciously glanced at Bai Li who was sitting.

Bai Li nodded to them, and the two of them retreated.

Shen Qing's face flushed. He looked at her, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. After holding it in for a long time, he said, "That Shangguan Yue, you have long ago..."

Bai Li interrupted him: "Now you understand, I will go back to the ship."

Unlike before, this time she said where she wanted to go back to.

After saying that, he walked out without waiting for Shen Qing to speak.

Watching her leave like that, Shen Qing, who had a lot to say, opened his mouth but did not try to stop her. He just stood there in the room.

"Oh my God, when did she hook up with Shangguan Yue?" Lady Huang came in from outside, "How did she know he was the son of the late crown prince? Your Majesty never said that someone escaped from the East Palace at that time."

This Miss Bai has been in the capital for less than a year. How does she know things that even they don’t know?
It's incredible.

Shen Qing hesitated: "Perhaps the queen knew that the boy was not dead at that time, but she didn't care and let him go..."

None of this matters.

The important thing is, this is indeed a great idea!

The son of the late crown prince is still alive, and the late crown prince has restored his surname Li, and the eldest grandson of the emperor has also returned to the royal family.

The current emperor has no son either...

It doesn’t matter. Even if the current emperor has a son, this eldest grandson will inherit the throne!
In this way, Bai Li would naturally become the queen if she married the emperor's eldest grandson.

Queen, Your Majesty is back!

Shen Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Madam Huang stood aside with a helpless look on her face, but Madam Bai actually said nothing.

……

……

Bai Li jumped out of the car with a smile on his face.

Now she doesn't need to say anything, Shen Qing has fallen into confusion himself.

One day, he will really go crazy.

The lights on the boat at the dock had been turned on, and when they saw her approaching, the boatmen greeted her.

Bai Li staggered onto the boat with a smile on his face, and told the steward: "Although we are not entertaining guests, we still have to sail today."

The steward replied yes.

"Madam, do you want to wash up? The hot water is ready." A maid asked.

Bai Li nodded: "The meal can be prepared now."

She washed up quickly.

The maidservant responded and retreated. Bai Li walked into the room. The lights were already on, bright and warm.

She sat down at the dressing table and took off her hair.

There were footsteps outside the door, and Shangguan Yue's voice came, "Ali——"

Hey? Why is he back? Bai Li turned his head subconsciously, and suddenly a crisp ringing sound rang in his ears.

Bai Li stiffened instantly, looking at the mirror out of the corner of her eye. Her profile in the mirror slowly turned straight, and a pair of watery eyes looked at her.

"Bai Li." The person in the mirror raised his hand to support his chin and said with a smile, "You are so brave. You dare to think and do anything."
