White Hedge Dream

Chapter 61 Viewing Paintings

Shangguan Yue said nothing and only looked at the opposite wall.

There are no **** items on the shelves in this warehouse, but volumes of papers. There is also a canvas hanging on one wall, with names of people densely written on them. The names are outlined with intricate lines.

Jiang Datong's name is among them.

Cai Songnian looked annoyed.

"Jiang Datong is greedy for life, afraid of death, and reluctant to give up wealth and glory. He will definitely rush to confess what Du has done. Then a hole will be opened in the old case."

"But Zhang Ze, this little guy, actually refuses to take action. It's a real loss for us to feed him for so long."

Shangguan Yue smiled: "Don't worry, Zhang Ze is a villain. Villains bully the weak and fear the strong. When Jiang Datong changes from being tough to being soft, he will definitely take action."

He stood up and walked to the wall and looked at Jiang Datong's name.

"The hole has been found, and it will only be a matter of time before it is broken open."

His eyes wandered along the outlined lines, and the messy and seemingly disorganized lines converged towards the top. There was no name written on the top, only a box.

There seems to be a name waiting to be written.

Shangguan Yue looked at the empty frame, without the usual smile on her face, her eyebrows and eyes were cold in the darkness.

Cai Songnian looked on, looking a little sad. He said softly in silence for a moment: "Zhang Ze also sent an arrest document."

Shangguan Yue looked away and the smile returned to her face: "It's strange that someone escaped from Zhang Ze's hands?"

Cai Songnian took out the scroll from the shelf and unfolded it: "It's a woman." He turned it over and showed it to Shangguan Yue.

In a slightly dark room, the woman on the scroll has a sad look with her eyes downcast.

No name, no description of origin.

"Song Lushi said that in order to avoid people who sympathized with the suspect, they deliberately concealed it, or some people were afraid of avoiding trouble and did not dare to file a complaint."

Shangguan Yue smiled, stretched out her fingers and gently slid over the face of the woman in the portrait, and said, "I understand. What Zhang Zhe wants is to see the portrait. There is no need to know who she is, no need to think about it, as long as there is a trace of If you are familiar with it, report it. This is to cast a wide net. Even if you make a mistake of ten thousand or ten thousand, you can always catch this person. "

It seemed that he would never let this person go. Cai Songnian looked down at the portrait in his hand and said, "It must be Chiang Kai-shek's remnant." He then asked, "Should we go out and look for him?"

Tracking down the remnants of Empress Chiang was not their purpose, but helping the Board of Supervisors catch this person and pleasing Zhang Ze would make their future operations easier.

Shangguan Yue looked at the woman in the portrait and smiled: "I am a compassionate person, so I'd better keep an eye on those stinky men."

That is, don't ask or interfere. Cai Songnian said hello and listened to Shangguan Yue speak.

"Help me keep an eye on Zhou Jingyun's wife..."

Zhou Jingyun’s wife? Cai Songnian was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a moment, especially when it came to Shangguan Yue's words. What? Is Zhou Jingyun’s wife a stinky man?

…

…

Zhou Jingyun didn't return to the yard until dusk.

"I thought you would have dinner at mother's place," Zhuang Li said.

Zhou Jingyun changed into home clothes and walked out of the clean room.

"The queen has rewarded the palace silk, and mother asked you to bring it over and keep it," he said.

Today, Zhou Jingyun went to the palace to meet the emperor. After talking about political affairs, he mentioned the silk flowers that day. The emperor was dissatisfied with the queen and thought she always made a fuss out of molehills, so he specially invited the queen to express his apology to Zhou Jingyun in front of the queen.

Although the queen was unhappy that the emperor was criticizing Sang and Huai, she looked at Zhou Jingyun's face and suppressed her temper.

"Your new wife is hated by others, but don't worry, I'm not the kind to be deceived. The false accuser has been beaten to death, and this matter has been handed over to Zhang Ze. I will definitely give you an explanation."

"That silk flower was made by an unlucky person. I shouldn't have given it a reward because I didn't think well. It will only cause unlucky things."

She said this and glanced at the emperor.

The emperor knew that she was mocking Bai Ying, so he frowned and pretended not to hear.

The queen generously gave her a piece of Cailuo.

"Your Majesty, take it to appease your wife."

He sighed again, "The prince cares about his wife, and his affection is enviable." He looked at the emperor several times meaningfully.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the emperor and the empress was not right, Zhou Jingyun resigned in a hurry.

Of course, Zhou Jingyun did not tell Zhuang Li these details. He only said that it was a reward from the queen to express her apology.

Zhuang Li looked at the colorful flowers placed on the table.

"Then I made a profit this time." She said with a smile, "A silk flower is exchanged for a Cai Luo."

As he spoke, he thought of something again.

"The silk flowers were given to me by my aunt. I want to share Cailuo with my aunt." Zhou Jingyun smiled: "Thank you very much."

Zhuang Li glanced at him: "You and I are one husband and wife, what are you grateful for?"

She spoke so smoothly, as if they were already an old couple, Zhou Jingyun couldn't help but flick his nose and glance at the maids in the room.

"You guys go down first," he said.

Chunhong pursed her lips and smiled, winking at Chunyue, and the prince felt shy.

Chunyue glared at her, but she couldn't hide the smile on her lips and led the people back out.

…

…

"Look at this arrest document."

Zhou Jingyun took out the portrait given by Zhang Ze and whispered.

"Look what you want to catch is..."

He unfolded it in front of him, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the scroll. The eyebrows and eyes of the woman in the portrait seemed to be blurry.

Zhuang Li only glanced at it and smiled: "It's me."

Sure enough, Zhou Jingyun thought, Zhang Ze had already made a guess in his mind at that time, but he just kept silent.

He looked at the portrait and then at Zhuang Li.

"This portrait is..."

Zhuang Li looked at the portrait and said, "That's my sister."

It turns out that this is Bai Ying.

Although the late emperor's marriage grant was quite popular at the time, she was still a side concubine, not a main concubine who could be welcomed by the courtiers alongside King Changyang. Her family background was not prominent and she was inconspicuous in the palace.

If it weren't for Bai Xun's case, no one would have noticed that the emperor still had this concubine.

Naturally, Zhou Jingyun has never seen it before.

As for why Zhang Ze wanted to arrest his sister, but used her portrait as the arrest document, it is also easy to understand.

Bai Li was only five years old when the two sisters separated. Even if Bai Ying remembered her sister's appearance, she couldn't draw a five-year-old girl to arrest someone.

So I simply used her portrait to capture my sister.

There are always similarities between the two sisters.

Similar? Zhou Jingyun looked at the portrait and then at Zhuang Li, who was sitting on the Arhat bed.

"You and your sister are nothing alike," he said.

In fact, when I looked at the portrait in front of Zhang Ze, apart from being cautious and keeping calm, I really couldn't see any similarity with Zhuang Li.

Zhuang Li smiled, looked at the portrait, and then looked at Zhou Jingyun with a faint look in his eyes: "Zhou Jingyun."

It seemed like it was the first time she called him by his name like this, and Zhou Jingyun couldn't help but look at her.

The afterglow of the setting sun draped behind her, and her face became a little dazed in sight, and her voice continued to come to her ears,

"I often hang out with Chunyue, and I look a bit similar to Chunyue."

Zhou Jingyun looked at her and nodded slowly: "Yes, you are often together. You look a bit alike."

His voice was a little stagnant, as if he was still thinking.

"But you're better looking than her."

Zhuang Li didn't seem to expect that he could say another word. He was startled and then burst into laughter.

This smile made Zhou Jingyun shudder. Although her vision was dim, Zhuang Li's smile made her face suddenly clear and bright.

What are you laughing at? Zhou Jingyun felt his heart beating a little fast and looked away.

"Isn't that right?" He said, looked at the portrait and put it away, "It's better to look like Chunyue than to look like... her."

Chunyue's voice came from outside the door at this time: "Your Majesty, Young Madam."

Zhuang Li raised his voice and said, "Come in." Chun Yue walked in. As soon as she walked in, she saw Zhou Jingyun looking over, with a somewhat appraising look in his eyes.

In the past, the prince rarely looked at them. What happened?

Chunyue looked at Zhuang Li in confusion and saw Zhuang Li turning his head away with a smile.

The next moment Zhou Jingyun also looked away, looking as if nothing had happened.

What are the couple whispering? Did she come in at the wrong time?
