White Fence Dream

Chapter 277 No need
The morning light finally shone into the hall. Wang Degui's eyes turned red, and he asked the palace servants to turn off the lights that had been burning all night.

Bai Ying's dormitory was brightly lit last night, and every corner was illuminated without leaving any shadow.

Despite this, Bai Ying did not sleep all night.

But she didn't seem to be awake. When the palace servants walked around and the lights went out, Bai Ying, who was sitting on the couch, stood up suddenly.

"Who?" she shouted.

He was looking at the person with his eyes open, but he asked who it was. What happened to the queen? Don't you really need to ask the imperial physician? Wang Degui couldn't help but think that Bai Ying had suffered from this symptom in the cold palace before.
Bai Ying also refused to sleep and said she was having a nightmare, so she asked the imperial physician for help, and the doctor diagnosed that she was pregnant.

Is she sick again? No, is she pregnant again? That shouldn't be the case. Since giving birth, Bai Ying has rarely been with me in bed.
"Your Majesty, it's dawn." Wang Degui said.

Hearing that it was dawn, Bai Ying's tense body relaxed and her eyes gradually focused.

"It's daybreak, that's good." She said, sitting down on the couch and breathing a sigh of relief.

Wang Degui ordered the palace servants to turn off the lights, and then brought a copper basin of hot water, asking Bai Ying to tidy up her appearance. He then looked around the hall and saw the Sanqing Bell rolling beside a pillar.

"My Lady, this..." He picked up the Sanqing Bell and held it in his palm to show Bai Ying, "It's broken. I'll go to Shengzu Temple and ask Xuan Yangzi to give me another one."

Wang Degui said this but was interrupted by Bai Ying before he could finish his words.

"Need not!"

No? Wang Degui looked at Bai Ying in confusion.

Bai Ying looked at the Sanqing Bell. She suspected that it had been broken for a long time and was useless, otherwise it would not have rang even though she had seen hallucinations one after another last night.

"At the beginning, Xuan Yangzi gave this to protect the fetus in my belly." She said slowly, "Now that the child is born, how can I ask for it again? Xuan Yangzi has never interacted with the palace. Even Your Majesty has difficulty in inviting him. Don't disturb him."

Xuan Yangzi is here to protect the Li family's kingdom.

But he did not care about the struggle for the Li dynasty or the fighting between father and son and brothers.

She and Zhang Ze speculated that it would be fine as long as the person sitting on the throne had the surname Li.

That's why I dared to try to change the baby. Sure enough, Emperor Zhong didn't react, and Saint Ancestor Guan Xuan Yangzi didn't react either.

But since it is a matter concerning the royal heir, Bai Ying doesn't want to have too much contact with Shengzu Temple, at least not now.

Once she has firmly established herself as the empress dowager and the emperor has another prince, she will definitely get rid of this fake prince and let the real prince take the throne. She definitely does not want to disrupt the Li dynasty.

Bai Ying lowered his eyes and meditated silently.

"Your Majesty, does Your Majesty need to know what happened here last night?" Wang Degui asked softly.

Bai Ying only used the child to look after the emperor and never stayed around the emperor at night. She also personally arranged and selected concubines to sleep with him. The emperor wanted to enjoy himself and have more offspring, so he had fun almost every night.

Bai Ying was kept strictly confidential. Even though the lights were on last night, the emperor, who was with the young concubine, had no idea of ​​the news.

After hearing what Wang Degui said, Bai Ying pondered for a moment. The Sanqing Bell was useless and he could only rely on others.

No evil spirits, demons, monsters or monsters can get close to the emperor.

"Pass the message on," Bai Ying said, "and say that the little prince cried all night."

Wang Degui responded yes.

"Go ahead, let the little prince stop crying and get the imperial physician for him." Bai Ying ordered, leaning back on the couch and pressing his forehead with his hand.

Wang Degui quickly signaled two palace maids to come forward and massage Bai Ying's shoulders, back, legs and feet: "Your Majesty, please take a break to recuperate. I will make arrangements right away."

Bai Ying didn't say anything else. She closed her eyes and listened to Wang Degui's footsteps hurried away, but after a moment, Wang Degui's footsteps came back again.

"Your Majesty, Deputy Inspector Guo is here."

Deputy Inspector Guo? Bai Ying thought about it. Guo Shun was Zhang Ze's confidant.

Maybe Zhang Ze has something to tell him.

Bai Ying sneered in his heart and said that Zhang Ze was just being perfunctory because he always sent his own confidants.

When one day they send a random follower who is nothing to deliver the message, it means that they no longer take her seriously.

"Maybe I went to the Supervisory Council yesterday and didn't say anything, so Guo Shun came to ask if I had any instructions." Wang Degui said with a smile, "Deputy Envoy Guo may not behave like a country boy, but he is very attentive in his work. He remembers every instruction from the Queen Mother and is the first to come to greet me when he sees me."

Hearing this, Bai Ying suddenly opened her eyes and swallowed back the words "I can just tell you what I want to say."

"Go." She sat up and waved her hand for the maids to leave. "Let him in."

Guo Shun was wearing official uniform, but when he entered the hall, he did not stand as straight as Wang Degui.

Although he was Zhang Ze’s fellow villager, Zhang Ze did not have the slightest country boy air. Even though he was wearing the lowest-grade city patrol uniform at that time, he still looked like someone from an aristocratic family.

He is not like Guo Shun, who talks in a long-winded manner and looks around.

".Yesterday I saw the eunuch coming to ask, I was worried that the Majesty had some important instructions, so I came here early in the morning to ask."

".Zhongcheng has told me to be ready to listen to the Majesty's orders at any time. I am afraid I will miss it. If the Majesty has anything to say, please tell me first. I will do what I can first, and I will leave the things that I cannot do to Zhongcheng."

When he reached here, the imperial concubine, who was drinking soup slowly under the throne, interrupted him.

"Deputy Envoy Guo, don't be so modest. In my heart, you are like the chancellor."

Guo Shun was overjoyed and couldn't help but look up at Bai Ying in front of him: "My lady, you are too kind.

"Your subordinate." Bai Ying corrected him and smiled, "I am not flattering you. Zhang Ze chose you to work for me, so he must be an extraordinary person. I trust him, and I trust you too."

Guo Shun said awkwardly: "Your Highness naturally believes the Minister."

"Zhongcheng was very busy yesterday, wasn't he?" Bai Ying suddenly asked, and then sighed softly, "I told him a lot of things yesterday, and he really worked hard."

Guo Shun's eyes flickered: "Zhongcheng, I was very busy yesterday. I even went to see the prince of Dongyang Marquis's Mansion--" After he finished speaking, Bai Ying seemed stunned.

"Why did he go to see Zhou Jingyun?" she asked.

Guo Shun seemed to be stunned as well: "Didn't the queen order you to do that?"

This time he did not lower his head, but looked at Bai Ying's face carefully. Bai Ying's face changed from shock to disbelief to confusion, and finally to sadness.

"I understand." She said, lowering her head and saying no more.

"Your Highness, do you really know?" Guo Shun was not as humble as before, and even asked, "Last time, two officials were released from the prison of the Supervisory Council. Was it also your order?"

Bai Ying looked at him with a shocked expression: "Why, release them? Aren't all the prisoners in the Supervisory Council members Jiang's followers?"

"The Zhongcheng said that the search was wrong," said Guo Shun.

"Wrong check? Is there a time when he would make a mistake?" Bai Ying said, laughing, "How strange."

Guo Shun lowered his head and said, "I am the one who did this. If I did not do it well, please forgive me, Your Majesty. I don't know if you don't know."

Bai Ying's voice fell in front of him, "What would you do if you knew that I didn't know?"

Guo Shun raised his head with a firm expression: "Of course I will come to ask the queen first, and follow the queen's instructions."

Bai Ying stared at him for a moment, and suddenly tears rolled down her cheeks.

Guo Shun was startled: "My Queen..."

Bai Ying looked at him and smiled sadly: "I actually guessed that Zhang Ze has changed his mind."

Guo Shun was a little overwhelmed: "Madam, you know..."

"I don't blame him. I'm just a concubine in the harem. He has helped me a lot. I'm very grateful to him," said Bai Ying.

Guo Shun was a little angry: "Your Majesty, please don't say that. You trusted the Minister so much, but he betrayed you. It's wrong for him. What's more, who else in the court can compare to your Majesty? Following your Majesty is the wise choice. Zhang Ze is confused."

He is no longer called Zhongcheng.

Bai Ying looked disappointed: "I do have greater ambitions. It's a pity that I don't have Zhang Ze's help." After saying that, he looked at Guo Shun and said, "Then, can I trust you, Deputy Envoy Guo?"

Guo Shun fell to his knees.

"Since the first day in Beijing, Guo Shun has been working diligently with Zhang Zexue, just waiting for this day." He looked up at Bai Ying, his face full of eagerness.

Waiting to be used by Bai Ying.

Waiting to replace Zhang Ze.

Bai Ying smiled slowly: "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Deputy Envoy Guo next." She gently waved to Guo Shun, "Come, I'll tell you."

Li Yu walked out of the house and saw Bai Li holding a small windmill to amuse the children in the yard.

"Did I disturb you?" Bai Li said with a smile.

Li Yu smiled: "How could that be? In fact, I have never been able to sleep well in a quiet place since I was a child."

Is it because of fear? Bai Li thought, that's why Shangguan Yue managed to mix with the ship.

"Then you can rest assured. There is no more building boat. But Nannan is getting bigger and bigger, and she is becoming more energetic and noisy." Bai Li said with a smile and handed Nannan to him.

Li Yu lifted Nannan up and spun her like a little windmill, causing giggles.

"By the way, I have good news for you." Bai Li said.

Li Yu looked at her and asked, "What?"

Bai Li took a step closer and whispered, "Bai Ying's Sanqing Bell is broken."

Li Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "So fast, Ah Li is amazing!"

Bai Li coughed lightly and said, "I didn't do anything. She thought it was bad, so it's bad."

Li Yu smiled and said, "Ali doesn't have to do anything. Just sit in front of her and she will think the Sanqing Bell is broken. That's how powerful she is." As he spoke, he lifted Nannan up and spun around again. The laughter of the children in the yard sounded like silver bells.

"Don't spoil her. I can't lift her when you're not with her!" Bai Li scolded.

Li Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will always take care of Nannan and won't let you suffer."

And he will not let Zhou Jingyun suffer.

As they were talking and laughing, Cai Songnian coughed softly outside the courtyard gate and said, "Your Highness!"

Li Yu stopped and looked over.

Cai Songnian, however, refused to come in, seeming to be respectful and not overstepping the boundaries.

Bai Li smiled and took the child from Li Yu: "Don't keep Mother Cai waiting."

Li Yu laughed and said nothing more. He strode out over the white fence and stood outside the courtyard gate. Cai Songnian whispered a few words to him.

Bai Li didn't look at it for long. He carried Nannan in his arms and was about to go in. Then he heard Li Yu's voice from behind.

"Ali."

She turned around and saw Li Yu's eyes full of joy. He strode in, stood in front of her, and spoke in a low voice with a smile.

"I have good news for you, too."

I didn’t finish it this month, but I’m almost done with it.
