White Fence Dream

Chapter 199 Leaving
The baby's cry was shrill.

But it quickly disappeared again.

Was she dealt with again because it was a baby girl?
Bai Li pressed tightly against the cracks in the rockery, feeling the dream being instantly broken away from.

The palace in front was surrounded by falling water and winds from all directions, and the birds and insects retreated.

Zhang Ze was indeed here, and the defenses were tight, with a sorcerer who was proficient in illusion.

Bai Li reached out and pinched a piece of gravel on the rockery. Since she couldn't use the dreams of other people or other objects to control them, she, the real person, had to break in personally and weave a big dream for them.

It doesn't matter even if it alarms the Emperor Bell.

What the hell is this Emperor Zhong? Didn't he see that these people were killing women and infants? Are all the people other than the heir to the throne not human?

Well, then she'll drive these people crazy.

The behavior of these people is more terrifying than that of lunatics!
But just as the thought flashed through his mind, someone walked out of the hall.

Zhang Ze looked around. The guards surrounded him, and there were sorcerers standing in front and behind. One of them held a bowl of water and sprinkled it with his fingers from time to time. One of them held a palm-leaf fan and waved it. The last one held a stick of incense, and white smoke floated in the night.

"Nothing unusual," they said.

Zhang Ze looked down at his arms, the thick cloak wrapped around his body: "Let's go."

……

……

The woman's screams disappeared in the dark night.

Is this born?
Zhou Jingyun looked towards Hanliang Palace, but there was no sound of a baby crying, and no one ran out to report the good news to the emperor.

The next moment, the woman's moans sounded again, mixed with "My Lady, use more force" and "Quickly bring me the ginseng slices."

The sounds of voices and footsteps in Hanliang Palace were even louder than before.

Is this not finished yet?

Is it a difficult birth?
Zhou Jingyun was thinking when he suddenly saw a eunuch running out of the hall in a hurry.

Wang Degui.

Zhou Jingyun recognized him at a glance, the most trusted eunuch beside Bai Ying.

Why did he come out at the most critical moment for Bai Ying to give birth?
Wang Degui was wrapped in a thick cloak, looking panicked. He looked around and then ran quickly in one direction.

Zhou Jingyun's eyes narrowed.

That's not where the emperor is.

……

……

The sound of chaotic footsteps broke the silence of the night. The imperial guards who were patrolling looked over and saw Zhang Ze surrounded by soldiers.

"Zhongcheng." The guards saluted.

The three men beside Zhang Ze were dressed differently from the soldiers, and their movements were strange...

Even at this moment they did not stop their actions, and one man even sprinkled water on the guards' faces.

The guards subconsciously took a step back and held down their knives.

Although the emperor ordered Zhang Ze to be on duty to defend Hanliang Palace tonight, the imperial guards have more responsibilities than just Bai Fei.

"This is for the White Concubine's delivery, to prevent any strange things from happening." Zhang Ze explained to the guards, and then asked the three sorcerers, "Is there anything wrong?"

The three warlocks said no.

Everything before my eyes is real.

Zhang Ze glanced at the guards and looked around. There was no one else on the road. Oh, there was a palace maid guarding the palace lantern on the side of the road, standing on tiptoe to light the lantern...

"Go check it out." Zhang Ze said with a frown.

A soldier answered yes and walked over to question the palace maid. The palace maid hurriedly lowered her head to take off the badge and handed it to the soldier.

Zhang Ze saw the soldier looking at the badge while looking at the palace maid, and the palace maid raised her head...

"Zhongcheng, Zhongcheng—"

There was a sound coming from the front.

Zhang Ze looked up and saw Wang Degui running towards him from the direction of Hanliang Palace. He was wrapped in a cloak, his shoulders were hunched, his body was hunched, and he looked panicked.

"Go and have a look! The queen is having a difficult labor. Let's send in a few more doctors..."

Dystocia?

Zhang Ze frowned and strode forward.

Wang Degui stretched out his hand to him and said, "Give me the child."

Zhang Ze subconsciously lifted his cloak, and suddenly a voice shouted in his ears, "The smoke is straight!"

Is the smoke straight?
Zhang Ze's movements froze, and he saw a stream of white smoke rising straight up. The sorcerer said that when real incense is lit, the smoke is dynamic and scattered. In the illusion, the shape of incense can be woven, but because it is fake, the smoke can only be rigid.

fake!

Zhang Ze was startled, and without stopping his hand that was lifting up his cloak, he reached for his waist and pulled out a knife, then without hesitation, chopped at Wang Degui who was reaching out his hand in front of him.

As the knife flashed, there was no screaming or wailing, and blood was splattered everywhere, only emptiness.

……

……

The footsteps were chaotic.

Wang Degui, who was running over in the shadow of the lights, couldn't help but pause and looked forward nervously.

That's where the Supervisory Council detained the palace maids and eunuchs involved in the Queen's case. It's under Zhang Ze's control, so it's also used to accommodate those...

As the footsteps approached, Wang Degui saw four or five soldiers, three men with strange movements, and the one in the middle...

Zhang Ze!

Wang Degui was overjoyed, "Zhongcheng!"

He shouted loudly and softly.

Zhang Ze looked over and saw that the guards' torches also illuminated Wang Degui.

"Why did you come out?" Zhang Ze frowned.

"Zhongcheng!" Wang Degui's voice trembled, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the birth is difficult."

Zhang Ze asked in a low voice, "Is it really a difficult birth or..."

They had agreed on a code word before: if a girl was born, they would say it was a difficult birth. Wang Degui said in a trembling voice, "Girl."

Although I was prepared, I was still very nervous when the baby girl was born, especially because I had to do such an unethical thing as replacing a boy with a girl.

He said this while looking at his tightly wrapped arms.

"It's okay, everything is ready." Zhang Ze said.

Wang Degui raised his head and saw that Zhang Ze was also wrapped in a thick cloak. He raised his hand and opened it a little...

Wang Degui saw a swaddling cloth tied in front of Zhang Ze.

"Child!" He couldn't help but take a step forward. "Yes..."

Zhang Ze nodded and reached out to unwrap the swaddling clothes. "It's a baby boy." He handed it over and said, "Give me the baby girl. You take the baby boy back and report the good news to His Majesty immediately."

Wang Degui answered yes, and with trembling hands and feet he hurriedly opened his cloak, revealing a baby girl wrapped in a red blanket.

A pair of hands reached over and took the baby girl away.

Wang Degui felt his hands were empty, his heart was in a panic, and the light and shadows in front of his eyes were a little blurry.

"Child, child," he stammered.

The next moment a swaddling cloth was stuffed in.

"Hold it, go quickly, don't let the queen wait anxiously."

Zhang Ze said.

Wang Degui looked at his calm face, and his panicked heart also calmed down.

He lowered his head and saw the baby in his arms, a fair and clean baby boy, and couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, I'll go right away, your majesty can rest assured."

As he spoke, he wrapped his cloak tightly around him, turned around and ran off.

The Queen has a baby boy, His Majesty has a son to inherit his bloodline, the Great Zhou has the next emperor, and the Queen has become the mother of the new emperor. The Queen is the mother of the country!
The flame of the stone pillar lamp by the roadside jumped twice, illuminating the eunuch who was leaning against it and falling asleep, with a smile on his face that was getting more and more intense.

There were no scattered figures under the light, only one person.

She was holding the swaddling clothes, her body somewhat stiff.

In fact, she had never held a child, especially such a young one.

Even wrapped in a quilt, you can still feel a small and soft ball.

Is it right for her to hold the baby like this? Will it hurt the baby?
However, the child looked quite calm and was actually sleeping.

Bai Li lowered his head, stretched out his fingers to lift up a corner, and saw a small, wrinkled, fist-sized face inside...

"You can still sleep." She whispered, "Your mother doesn't want you."

She couldn't help laughing as she spoke, her expression somewhat proud and somewhat pitying.

"I was born without a mother because I wanted to kill my mother. You affected your mother's future, so she abandoned you."

"Your luck is worse than mine."

I went out and wrote half a chapter.
