White Fence Dream

Chapter 195 Facts

Chapter 195 Facts
Perhaps because he had already accepted the fact that Jiang Mian'er existed, Bai Li was not panicked at all and just frowned.

"Did I miss you again before going to bed?" she said, "So I let you come out and disturb my sleep?"

The woman next to her laughed and waved a finger at her: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll just bother you for a while." She looked helpless again, "I can't do anything about it. Someone is calling me, and they're calling me with real feelings and deep hatred."

Although it was dark at night, the woman's expression was clear and vivid in my sight.

Bai Li looked at this face, which was completely different from what he had seen in his dreams and in the mirror before.

No matter in the past or now, she is the one who is thinking about this person. The more she knows about this person in her mind, the more vivid this person becomes.

Bai Li raised his eyebrows and smiled at himself, then looked around. At this moment, he was sitting at the highest point of a pavilion. The lights were as bright as the stars under his feet, making the pavilion look like a suspended palace in heaven.

The voices continued to come to my ears.

"My dream is not exaggerated."

"It looks like this at night, just like the palace in heaven, so it's called Penglai Pavilion."

"I proposed this to the late emperor."

"I had already thought about it at that time. It must be very beautiful to jump down from here when I die."

Hearing this, Bai Li looked at the person sitting next to her again. There was a smile on her lips and her eyes were shining.

"Sure enough, when I jumped down, it looked really nice."

Although according to experience, one should not talk to people born by oneself, Bai Li could not help but be curious when he heard this: "Did you know from the beginning that you would not have a good ending?"

Who would think about how to die when they are so favored that the emperor builds a palace for them?
Hearing her question, the woman beside her laughed again: "Need I say that? What am I doing? I am going to take over the country of the Great Zhou as a woman, a concubine, and a queen. This is unprecedented and unacceptable. How can I have a good ending?"

Bai Li retracted his gaze and looked towards the heaven and earth of the imperial city, curling his lips: "This is something that is against the will of heaven. Heaven and earth don't care about this. People in the world, well, people in the world are busy living their own lives and won't care about this."

It's just the officials and dignitaries in this small world who care about it.

The people around her laughed again and looked at her: "Well said, you are better than me, you are braver."

"Perhaps you can say that I am a country bumpkin who is ignorant and fearless." Bai Li said calmly, "I am not interested in thinking about this, nor in your past, nor in this imperial city. This dream is meaningless."

As she spoke, she pushed herself up with her hand and jumped down.

The next moment, the world turned upside down, Bai Li stood on the ground, looking up at the bright stars above.

With a bang, someone fell beside me.

"Don't go, don't go, just for a while." She pulled Bai Li's arm, "I'm not interested in telling you about my past. It's like I'm an old woman who can only recall the past. In fact, I'm not that old. I was twenty years old when I was favored by the late emperor, and I just turned thirty when I died. Well, I remember that I was seven years older than Zhou Jingyun."

When she said this, Bai Li looked at her.

The atmosphere seemed a little stagnant, so she smiled.

"I'm still rambling."

She threw her hand and walked forward.

"follow me."

The lights flickered, the palaces overlapped, Bai Li felt dazzled, and the woman's voice was in his ears.

"Did you have to find a way to come to the palace before?"

"Don't bother yourself with that in the future. My marks are everywhere in this imperial city."

"Every blade of grass, every tree, every palace, every pavilion, every palace lady, every eunuch..."

Along with her voice, Bai Li only felt hurried footsteps. She lowered her head and saw a pair of feet wearing green boots.

This was a common attire worn by palace eunuchs.

"Hey, the Queen is crying again." The eunuch muttered, "Go and take a look."

The person next to him yawned and reached out to hold him back: "Don't go. Cry if you want. You'll have many more days to cry in the future."

The eunuch from before was somewhat puzzled: "Didn't they say that Yang was innocent and it was Du who framed her? His Majesty even went to see the Queen today."

Then the emperor and empress naturally returned to normal.

After all, Your Majesty and the Queen are a married couple who have shared weal and woe.

The eunuch curled his lips and said, "It's not good anymore. Things are different now. The days of sharing hardships are long gone. You keep talking about it every day. If you talk too much, it's like adding water to wine, which makes it less fragrant."

After saying that, he leaned against the porch pillar and found a suitable place to squat down and avoid the wind.

"I'd better get some sleep."

He started cursing as he spoke.

"These grandchildren are bullying me. If it were in the past, it would never be my turn to do this kind of night duty."

"It's really the new generation replacing the old. It's their turn to show off their power. When the queen was in power..."

The eunuch from before hurriedly hushed, "Speak less and stop talking without restraint, or you may even lose your life."

The eunuch snorted, covered his head and face with his sleeves and stopped talking.

The eunuch looked at him, then at the palace in front of him. Shrouded in the night, it was much darker than other palaces. A woman's sobbing voice could be heard, which sounded strange and did not sound like a human voice.

The eunuch shuddered, and after thinking it over, he decided to walk over there. No matter what, since he was on duty here, he couldn't just ignore it. He walked over slowly. The lights were on in the hall, and the curtains swayed in the night wind, revealing the silhouette of a person behind them.

"Empress?" The eunuch stood at the door and called softly.

The only response was crying.

"Your Majesty, you should rest early." The eunuch advised in a low voice, "Don't hurt yourself..."

A curtain was suddenly opened, and the queen with loose hair rushed out: "What's the use of this body for me! He just wants me to die! He just wants us all to die——"

The eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down hurriedly: "Madam——"

The queen stood in front of him, her voice suddenly softened, and she sobbed, "Liu Lang, how could Liu Lang do this to me? I have loved Liu Lang the most since I was a child. Everyone advised me not to marry him, but I just like him."

The eunuch was an old employee of the palace and still remembered many old things from the past. To be fair, although the Yang family could not be considered powerful, they were also a very respectable family. Although Prince Changyang was a prince at that time, his talents and temperament were mediocre, so he was indeed not a good match.

The eunuch looked at the queen in front of him and remembered that she was still a little girl, walking in the palace, beautiful and lovely. The little prince, Prince Changyang, hid behind the rockery and secretly watched her, and whispered, "Sister Yuan, are you willing to play with me?"

In the blink of an eye, everything has changed.

They are not the only ones who have changed.

The eunuch sighed and tried to persuade her again, but the queen had already put down her sleeves and suddenly raised her head and shouted, "Empress Jiang, it would be great if you were still alive—"

The eunuch was startled and rushed over to stop the queen: "Your Majesty, be careful with your words." Wasn't Yang convicted because she was accused of being a member of Queen Jiang's party?

How can your Majesty say such a thing?

The queen looked at him with red eyes: "Am I wrong? If Empress Jiang hadn't died, it wouldn't be his turn to be emperor." Then she pushed the eunuchs away and rushed out of the hall, stretching out her hands and shouting at the night sky, "Your Majesty, Empress Jiang, Jiang Mian'er - haven't you turned into a ghost? Aren't you still in the palace? Come out soon - come back to life -"

The eunuch was so frightened that his legs went limp. It was all over. The queen had gone mad. He no longer cared about status and rushed over to pull the queen into the palace: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, stop talking nonsense."

"I didn't say anything nonsense." The queen cried, covering her face and crying, "I really want Queen Jiang to come back. I don't want to be the queen. I don't want Liu Lang to be the emperor. I want to go back to the palace--"

She ran out crying and shouted to the night sky.

"Jiang Mian'er, Jiang Mian'er, please come out soon, please come back soon——"

The eunuch was so anxious that he called for help, but everything around him was silent, as if everyone had disappeared. The eunuch hardened his heart, tore off a piece of the queen's clothes and stuffed it into her mouth.

Before he could put it in, the queen turned her head sharply and looked at him.

"If only I were really Queen Jiang's man, I would have killed him earlier!"

The eunuch stared, and the next moment he saw blood flowing from the queen's eyes, and then she stuck out her long tongue.

He screamed and fell backwards, sitting on the ground. The queen in front of him slowly rose up and hung in the palace, swaying with the curtains that reached the ground. She had long hair, a long tongue, and red eyes.

The eunuch rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.

Bai Li fell out suddenly. The dream ended too hastily. She staggered before she stood firm. In front of her was an empty hall and the queen hanging in the middle.

In fact, the queen who committed suicide was not as scary as the eunuch dreamed.

She was wearing a gorgeous queen's dress, a heavy crown, and carefully applied makeup, although her appearance was indeed distorted due to hanging.

"Pathetic." A figure appeared again, stood beside her and looked at her, clicking his tongue twice, "Yang Yuan is so disappointing. Even if she wants to die, this white silk is wrapped around herself on one end and Li Liulang on the other end."

Bai Li glanced at her and said, "You're not much better than her. Didn't you also jump off the building to commit suicide?"

The figure beside her smiled and nodded: "You are right." She looked at the queen who hanged herself again, "I may have other outstanding qualities, but I also have shortcomings. People are all the same in the final analysis. No one is better than anyone else."

Bai Li frowned slightly: "Didn't you just say that I'm better than you?"

The figure beside him suddenly laughed, and as he laughed, his figure flashed, and the white fence was instantly passed through by someone——

"Miss!"

A eunuch ran in, shouted when he saw this scene, and the next moment he rolled and crawled, crossed the white fence again and rushed out.

"Someone come quickly——"

"His Majesty--"

"Quickly report to His Majesty——"

"The Queen has hanged herself—"

Along with the shout, the dark night was torn apart, and lights came on one after another, with lights in the distance swaying and pouring towards this side.

"Let's stop here." The figure beside him said, "lest we offend this descendant of the Li family and that old Taoist Xuan Yangzi who is making trouble out of nothing."

Along with the sound, Bai Li's body tilted, he fell forward suddenly, and opened his eyes.

You can feel the gentle swaying of the ship, the room is filled with a hazy green light, and the noisy sound that seems far away and near continues.

Bai Li slowly sat up and reached out to touch her face, feeling the soft and delicate touch. She glanced at the dressing table beside her, but ultimately did not turn on the light to look in the mirror.

Look, it doesn’t matter.

She stood up and walked out of the room, standing at the railing. The night wind was so cold that it made people shiver instantly, but also made people more sober.

Bai Li crossed his arms and looked towards the city in the distance.

The city in the hazy green light looks very quiet, but some places should have become lively.

……

……

Countless lights illuminated the Queen's Palace.

Countless people poured in and were then driven out. The guards stood by the door, and the eunuchs and palace maids on duty had been dragged away.

When Bai Ying helped Wang Degui over, they were also stopped outside.

"Your Majesty, do not allow anyone to approach you at this time." The head of the imperial guards said with some apology. Because of the special status of Concubine Bai, they had just asked about it. "Your Majesty does not want the Queen's remains to be seen by others. It has not been repaired yet. Besides, Concubine Bai, you are in a heavy body. Don't be frightened."

Bai Ying nodded, tears streaming down her face: "I know, I won't go over to disturb His Majesty and the Queen, so let His Majesty accompany my sister well... I will also stay here to accompany my sister."

As he spoke, a eunuch brought a chair behind him and Wang Degui helped Bai Ying sit down.

The guards stopped driving them away and bowed and retreated.

Bai Ying sat on a chair, looking at the imperial palace in front of her, and could hear the emperor's heart-wrenching cry coming from the night.

"How could he die of natural causes?" she asked in a low voice, "Did he really hang himself?"

Wang Degui nodded and whispered, "Yes, a eunuch fainted on the spot when he saw it. When he woke up, he was so scared that he just shouted that the queen hanged herself. He couldn't say anything else."

As they were talking, another eunuch came up from the darkness.

"My queen, the charcoal basin is here." He lowered his head and knelt down to place the charcoal basin. As he got closer, he whispered, "The queen left a suicide note."

Bai Ying asked, "What did you write?"

"Please, Your Majesty, spare Yang's family." The eunuch whispered, "She is the only queen, and her behavior is improper. She is willing to die to apologize for her sins. I only ask that you don't implicate her family. Please, Your Majesty, spare their lives."

Surprisingly... Bai Ying was a little stunned. The emperor had previously told the queen that she could retain her position as queen, but the men of the Yang family must be executed.

Unexpectedly, the queen actually begged the emperor to spare her family at the risk of her own life.

Bai Ying sneered and clenched his hands.

Isn't it good to be alive? If I am alive, I will have the position of queen, and I will always have the opportunity to turn things around, and I will always be able to bring glory to the family in the future.

If I die, my family will lose everything. What's the point of keeping myself alive? It's really stupid.

Bai Ying raised her fingers and wiped away the tears that rolled down her eyes.

Not worth it.
