White Hedge Dream

Chapter 208 Explanation

Although the unfamiliar embrace and physical contact made Baili tense up instantly, the familiar breath made her relax again.

"Li Yu!" Bai Li said, "Why are you back?"

After blurting out, she realized that she could erase everyone's memories of her absence when she came back, but she couldn't do it when she was not here before.

After two days and two nights of not coming back, the people on the boat must be anxious.

She thought that they might search everywhere because they were anxious, but she didn't expect to tell Li Yu, and she didn't expect that Li Yu would come back.

"Aren't you guarding the imperial mausoleum?" Bai Li said, "Is it okay for you to come back like this?"

As he spoke, he patted Li Yu on the back and motioned for him to let go, but Li Yu didn't seem to understand. He held her motionless and just said in a low voice: "It's okay, I didn't let anyone notice."

His voice was muffled and hoarse, and because he was so close, Bai Li could even smell the sweat and rusty smell on his body. You can imagine how he rushed back and was so worried about her that he didn't even bother to wash and change clothes.

"I thought something happened to you." Li Yu's voice came again, "I don't know where to find you or how to help you."

He said and hugged her tightly again.

"I'm really afraid that something will happen to you, just like my father and mother, and I will lose you and never see you again."

Because the hug was so tight, she could feel his tense body, which was still trembling slightly. Bai Li thought of the sleeping children in Shangguan Yue's dream. That was the fear hidden deep in her heart, so that she couldn't help but feel it. Dare to wake up, dare not dream.

She said softly: "It's my fault. As the master of this place, I shouldn't have scared everyone and you by not returning without telling me." She no longer pushed Li Yu away, but hugged his waist gently. He patted her gently and continued, "It happened very suddenly. I stared at The people suddenly made a move, so I had no choice but to follow them without having the chance to notify the ship. I have been dealing with the aftermath for the past two days. I was supposed to come back last night, but it was too late. I thought the ship had left, so I didn't come back until the morning. I plan to let you know when I get back..."

Perhaps it was her nagging, or perhaps it was the hugs and pats that made Li Yu's tense body gradually relax.

"What's the matter? Is it dangerous?" he asked, and then said urgently, "There are people from Yu Qingtang upstairs, you can use them as you wish."

Bai Li said, "It's scary to say something." She looked up at him, but because he hugged him too tightly, she could only see his ears. "Let's sit down and talk." She patted Li Yu's Looking back, he asked again, "Have you eaten? Are you still drinking water?"

Changing the topic and asking about trivial matters can best comfort a nervous person. As expected, as she asked, Li Yu loosened his hold on her hand and stood up slowly.

"Yes, you've been busy for two days and two nights." He seemed to be talking to himself, looking down at her and asking with concern, "You haven't eaten either?"

Bai Li nodded to him: "I haven't even bothered to have breakfast yet, so I came back as soon as the city gate opened."

Li Yu raised his voice to call for good luck.

Ji Xiang came in after hearing the sound and listened to Li Yu's instructions to prepare hot water for breakfast. Bai Li saw shopkeeper Cai peeking his head outside the door with a worried expression. He met her eyes, frowned, turned away and walked away.

Li Yu was angry, and it was normal for his subordinates to be unhappy.

Bai Li didn't take it seriously and went to wash up. When she changed her clothes and came out, the curtains had been opened. The room was bright and the food table was rich. Li Yu also washed up and changed into clean clothes. Under the morning light, he became that fresh and fresh again. A clean and beautiful young man.

It's just that there is no bright smile on his face all the time before, nor is he sullen, but just like the lake in autumn, clear and cold.

This was the first time I saw him angry.

When Princess Jinyu lied to him before, he only smiled when he was angry.

If you don't smile at this time, you seem to be really angry.

Bai Li can also understand. Since she accepted his proposal to live on the building, this place is equivalent to home. She is also regarded as a family member by him. How can she not be anxious when her family suddenly disappears?

Put yourself in her shoes, if you were still a young lady in Dongyang Hou Mansion and Zhou Jingyun disappeared without saying a word, she would also be angry.

"It's my fault." Bai Li apologized again, "I didn't expect them to look for you. I thought they would look for you in the capital. I came back this morning, which is one day and two nights, and it was very difficult. Come on, it’s just because I didn’t think well and took it for granted…”

Li Yu interrupted her: "I know you don't believe them, so if I was on the boat, would you tell me?"

Bai Li nodded immediately: "Of course I will." He raised his voice again, "I don't disbelieve them. They are the people you entrusted to me. Of course I believe them, but it was too sudden and there was no time, and what happened later, they also I can't help." He looked at him and said, "But if you are here, I will definitely find a way to inform you, because you can definitely help." Li Yu frowned: "You should let someone tell me. ”

Bai Li stretched out his hand to hold his arm and pushed, "Come, let's sit down and talk." He then asked, "Did you eat well in the Imperial Tomb? Is it cold? Isn't it all cold food?"

Li Yu shook his head and followed her to sit in front of the food table: "It's not cold, and there is hot tea soup."

Although he was still frowning, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the autumn lake surface was rippled and sparkling.

"You know the queen is dead, right?" Bai Li asked.

Li Yu nodded, looked at her and said, "People and things that are important to me in the capital will be passed on to me as soon as possible."

The so-called important people and things are the movements of the emperor and empress, the movements of Princess Jinyu's consort, and her.

So even though he didn't come back for just one night, Ji Xiang would rather give it a false alarm than delay telling him.

He didn't say this directly, but Bai Li could understand that he was involved, coughed slightly, and continued: "Then you also know that Bai Ying gave birth to a prince, right?"

Li Yu nodded again: "I learned about it yesterday. I sent it with the news that you were missing."

The news that Bai Ying had given birth to a prince was far less alarming than her disappearance.

Bai Li coughed again and looked at him: "Bai Ying is actually not a prince, but a princess."

Li Yu was startled. He pulled away from all kinds of complicated emotions and looked at her intently.

"Bai Ying and Zhang Ze changed their children."

"I have been keeping an eye on Zhang Ze. I was at the palace the night before yesterday. Unfortunately, I couldn't stop him."

"But I got the little princess."

Bai Li briefly told what happened, and of course concealed the fact that Empress Chiang had shocked Zhang Ze. This was something she would not tell even to Zhou Jingyun.

After listening to the story, Li Yu's face was no longer angry at all.

"It turns out that you often leave the building boat to go to the city during the day to keep an eye on this." He said.

As expected, it was not just wandering around the market as Jixiang said.

Bai Li nodded: "Yes, I also tried my best to find out their whereabouts. The woman gave birth very suddenly, and the pregnant women were suddenly transported away. I couldn't leave, and kept watching closely. Afterwards, I was very busy with their placement..." said I felt a little guilty here, but actually I wasn't too busy afterwards. The child Zhou Jingyun was settled and he was the one taking care of the child. She even slept most of the night last night.

Li Yu had already sat up straight and interrupted her: "I know, I understand, it's my fault. I shouldn't be angry and angry. I already knew that if you don't come back, you must have something to do. I'm just, I'm just worried. , very anxious, worried that I can’t help you..."

Bai Li also interrupted him: "Don't you know, I left without saying a word or anything. It's right for you to be anxious and angry. Now you know what I did and why I didn't leave a message. It's not a little bit. You're not angry either." He smiled again, "And you're not angry at all. You didn't yell or make a fuss at me, you just..."

She put her hand to her mouth and pulled it slightly, making the corners of her mouth sink.

"It's a little bit cheesy, but it's not scary at all, and..."

She smiled with crooked eyes.

"You look better when you're not smiling."

Li Yu chuckled, then lowered his face, thoughtfully: "Well, does it look better? Then I won't laugh anymore."

I’ve written half a chapter, and I’ll continue coaxing in the next chapter.
