White Fence Dream

Chapter 281 No problem
Li Yu turned around.

He first took off his blood-stained robe, leaving only his thin inner garment, and then reached out to take it.

"How is things at the palace?" he asked, and walked to where the torches were burning and looked through the documents.

Guo Shun followed him and said, "Although there are Li family soldiers guarding Zhang Ze, they don't understand that it is my people who are guarding the charcoal fire. Zhang Ze is alive and well. I went to see him when I came back just now. Zhang Ze is not awake and is not making any noise. I was a little worried at first."

More severe punishments can make people unconscious and avoid making any noise.

But lighter penalties do not meet this requirement.

The King of Chu asked for the jar punishment to be just a show. He felt very embarrassed and was afraid that he could not control Zhang Ze and Bai Ying would see through it.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ze acted as if he was really being punished, without any flaws at all.

Hearing his words, Li Yu smiled: "Of course there is no problem with her doing things."

Who? Guo Shun was curious. Could there be a master hidden in the cold palace? Of course, he did not ask further questions and his expression became more respectful.

There are countless talented people around His Highness, and he feels even more fortunate that he surrendered in time when Yu Qingtang invited him.

"Princess Bai has read the confession and believes it without a doubt." Guo Shun continued, "She asked me to report to His Majesty at the small court meeting after the big court meeting tomorrow."

Li Yu raised his head and smiled at him: "Thank you for your hard work. You did a great job."

Under the light of the torch, his young face was as white as jade, with a spot of bright red at the end of his brow, which was splashed by the blood from the cleaning of Zhang Ze's cronies in the Supervisory Board just now.

Li Yu only washed his hands and took off his dirty clothes, but because there was no mirror in the cell, he did not notice the bloodstain on his face.

Guo Shun was a little reluctant to remind them that it looked better this way.

"It is my honor to serve Your Highness," he said hurriedly.

Li Yu lowered his head and looked at the document in his hand again.

Guo Shun did not dare to disturb him and stood quietly.

"That's it." Li Yu read it carefully, handed it to him, and praised with a smile, "It's really well done."

Guo Shun took it with both hands: "It's Mr. Cai's credit, I'm just tidying it up."

Li Yu said: "He has his merits, you have yours, everyone has their own expertise, and it's up to you to sort out the evidence."

Guo Shun happily put away the documents, and after a moment's hesitation, he asked, "The evidence on file at the Supervisory Council is easy to obtain, and the evidence Zhang Ze has hidden privately can be obtained smoothly, right? Is it possible in such a short time?"

"She's fine at doing her job." Li Yu said, with a smile on his face again.

It seems that this was also done by that person. Guo Shun thought that this person was more powerful than Mr. Cai. He could not only control Zhang Ze's trapped state, but also obtain witnesses and evidence of the replacement of the royal heir.

He did not ask any more questions, and replied, "It is almost dawn, Your Highness, go back and rest. After dawn, an eunuch will summon you."

Li Yu nodded, and two attendants beside him came forward to put on a clean outer robe for him, changed his shoes, and put on a cloak to cover his head and face. Then they walked out in a crowd. Guo Shun saw them off. When they reached the door of the cell, Li Yu stopped again.

"I thought of one more thing you need to write in Zhang Ze's confession," he said.

Guo Shun hurried forward: "Your Highness, please give your orders."

At the cell door, light and darkness merged, making it dim and unclear.

Guo Shun looked at Li Yu's face hidden under the cloak and listened to the low voice.

"Zhou Jingyun was instructed by Bai Ying to investigate the fall of his wife, and thus Zhang Ze was able to receive the imperial order to investigate the palace incident."

"Force the queen to death."

"Zhou Jingyun."

There is a female voice calling in my ear.

The voice was very familiar. Zhou Jingyun trembled slightly, opened his eyes, and saw flickering lights. He was standing in a courtyard.

In my consciousness, there seemed to be a breeze blowing away the mist, and it seemed that something had happened, and then everything became blurry again.

A woman's face turned in front of him and smiled slightly.

"Are you okay?" Bai Li asked, looking worried. "I told you not to come. There are too many illusions this time. It's easy for you to get lost."

Fantasy.

Zhou Jingyun's gaze was focused, and his fading consciousness came back like a tide, with countless images emerging.

He met with Zhang Ze many times, and took Zhang Ze to meet Bai Li, so that the person Bai Ying was staring at saw it.

Bai Li said Guo Shun was Li Yu's man
Find evidence that touches your majesty.

Zhang Ze came to the restaurant, inhaled the dream fragrance, trapped it with Guo Shun and Bai Ying, explored the depths of consciousness, and found
Zhou Jingyun looked up and countless scenes faded away. In the small courtyard in front of him, several men in black were surrounding four men and women. Several men and women were lying on the ground, and other men in black were holding weapons pointing at them.

Everything is stagnant and empty, like a painting.

But the picture was also very clear. Zhou Jingyun could see that some of these people were crying, some were terrified, some were shocked, and some were angry.

His consciousness floated again, the figure retreated quickly, he left the courtyard and came to the alley.

It was dark at night, with only a dim lantern in the alley.

"The third one, the one with the laundry sign."

Zhang Ze’s voice was in my ears.

As the voices were talking, someone came forward first. In the dim light, it seemed to be Bai Li or Zhang Ze. With a few rhythmic knocks, the door opened.

The lights flickered, and the man inside the door looked at the person standing outside. He was stunned at first, and then his eyes froze.

"Zhongcheng," he murmured, "you are here."

Zhou Jingyun saw Bai Li's back and nodded. Zhang Ze's voice rang out: "Yes, I'll take the person away." Then.
Zhou Jingyun was swayed violently and fell into the courtyard. He felt dizzy and the world was spinning. There were countless noises all around him, as if the voices of people crying, laughing, birds and beasts roaring were pouring in like a tide. He couldn't stand steadily, but fortunately, a hand held him up.

"Zhou Jingyun, these are all hallucinations, ignore them." Bai Li's voice rang in his ears, "Zhou Jingyun, I am Bai Li, I am real."

Bai Li, Bai Li is real.

Zhou Jingyun stood firmly and took a few deep breaths. The noise around him slowly faded away and the world returned to silence.

He turned his head and looked at Bai Li.

"I'm awake now," he said softly, "So we've successfully captured the person now?"

Bai Li looked at him carefully for a moment before he heaving a sigh of relief: "Then I'll leave it to you from now on. It's almost dawn and I should go back."

Zhou Jingyun said hello, "Go wake up." He looked a little worried, "Are you okay?"

The reason why he insisted on following and wanted Bai Li to pull him into the dream was not because he didn't think about whether he would get lost. He was worried that Bai Li would get lost.

"That's right." Bai Li laughed softly, "If I get lost this time, I'll become Zhang Ze."

Zhou Jingyun laughed and said, "Don't talk nonsense." He then asked, "Isn't it that Madam Zhuang is watching over you personally?"

He had experienced several illusions, but Bai Li had created them herself. Her body was already seriously injured.
Bai Li looked at him and smiled: "Yes, Master is watching over me, don't worry." As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows, looked a little mischievous, and pounced on him.

Zhou Jingyun subconsciously reached out his hand, and the person fell into his arms and disappeared like a shadow. At the same time, a shout rang in his ears.

".Don't move!"

"Who are you!"

"Zhongcheng——"

The dream was detached, and everyone fell from the dream into reality, maintaining the chaotic actions and emotions in the dream.

The noise and chaos were real, and footsteps could be heard inside and outside the alley, as more people poured in.

Jiang Yun stood beside him first: "Prince."

There was still a hint of confusion on his face. He felt as if he had already rushed over once, but in the blink of an eye he had only taken a step forward with the knife.

The prince is already in the courtyard.

"well enough?"

Zhou Jingyun said: "I'm fine. We got the person back successfully. Is the car ready?"

Jiang Yun nodded.

Zhou Jingyun looked at the man and woman who had been restrained and said, "Take them away."

Amidst the chaos, he raised his head and looked towards the horizon. The dark night was gradually fading away, and a faint blue light appeared in the sky. It was about to dawn.

Although many people did not sleep well tonight, they will be able to sleep well in the future.

"Prince." Jiang Yun called softly from outside the door, indicating that it was time to leave.

Zhou Jingyun walked out of the courtyard.

"You and the King of Chu's people should send the people there together." He said, "I have to go to another place."

As the day dawned, the Hanliang Palace was already bustling with activity.

Bai Ying looked at the emperor putting on his court robes, looking uneasy: "Your Majesty, did you not sleep well? It's all my fault. There was a big court meeting today, but I bothered Your Majesty to accompany me last night."

The emperor laughed and said, "What are you talking about? It's only natural for me to accompany my wife and children." Then he whispered, "It's okay. The court meeting is just a show. It's nothing serious. I'll just close my eyes and rest."

Bai Ying hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, Your Majesty must not slack off."

"Look, you have become my strict wife again, controlling me." The emperor said with a smile.

Bai Ying also smiled and looked at Wang Degui beside her. Wang Degui saw her eyes, lowered his head and brought a bowl of soup from the table.

"Your Majesty, I couldn't sleep last night even though I took medicine, so I stayed by the fire and made you a tonic soup," said Bai Ying.

She said she would bring it herself, but the emperor had already taken it.

"Your hand is injured, don't move." said the emperor, and then picked up the bowl to drink.

Bai Ying sighed and grabbed his arm with one hand.

The emperor looked at her: "What's wrong?"

Bai Ying looked at him and smiled: "Slow down, let's see if it's hot first."

The emperor smiled and said, "I am not a child like Baolang who doesn't know whether it is hot or cold." He drank the soup in one gulp and handed the empty bowl to Bai Ying, "I am going to court now."

Bai Ying looked at him.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell." She bowed her head and bowed.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the hall bowed one after another, and the emperor walked out surrounded by a group of eunuchs.

The footsteps had faded away, but Bai Ying was still kneeling on the ground. The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace did not dare to stand up until a eunuch whispered to remind her, "Your Majesty, please get up."

Bai Ying slowly raised her head and looked outside the palace, but the emperor was no longer visible.

She exhaled lightly, stood up straight, turned around and walked to the desk, which was where the emperor handled memorials on a daily basis.

Bai Ying took out two ultimatums from a stack of documents, which she had asked Wang Degui to write last night.

"Go, ask the Imperial Household Department to summon the King of Chu and his wife, as well as Princess Jinyu, in the name of His Majesty, and have them meet in Hanliang Palace after the grand court meeting."
