White Hedge Dream

Chapter 247 Nightfall

Zhou Jingyun stood in the yard and heard Li Yu's roar outside.

The young man's voice was heartbreaking.

Clearly furious.

He could understand that now that he could see Bai Li, he was going crazy with anxiety. What's more, Li Yu didn't see him, so how could he not be anxious.

But there is no way, A Li cannot be disturbed now, and A Li's physique is weird, and he will not tell others without her permission.

He must be the evil person and stop Li Yu.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Xu's mother rushed out and asked nervously.

Although he did not interfere with the prince, such a big thing as King Chu's arrival was immediately reported because there were women and children living in the prince's courtyard. Mother Xu no longer believed those rumors, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help but come over and planned to watch quietly. At first glance, I didn't expect to hear that the prince had thrown King Chu out halfway.

It's really thrown out.

Jiang Yun twisted King Chu's arm, carried him from the study, and threw him out of the door.

Mother Xu, who was running over, also heard roars outside. Those sounds really made Zhou Jingyun's heart tremble.

This, this, this, could it be that the crown prince is willing to pay for his return, but the King of Chu still can't let go?

"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, please speak to the King of Chu -" Xu's mother stammered, holding her heart.

Of course I am not trying to persuade the prince to reconcile with the King of Chu, but if he keeps shouting like this, the rumors will spread throughout the capital again.

Zhou Jingyun lowered his eyes and said, "Don't worry about him, he will leave." He turned around and went inward.

Mother Xu stood there a little at a loss, but as Zhou Jingyun said, the shouting outside stopped and King Chu left.

"The King of Chu must be very angry."

Seeing Zhou Jingyun walk in, Mrs. Zhuang, who was sitting in the hall, said worriedly.

"In fact, you can ask him to come to the door and take a look to prove that you didn't lie to him."

Zhou Jingyun shook his head: "He won't just take a look."

Li Yu said that there was a way to wake Zhuang Li up, so when he came in, he would not just watch, he would definitely take action.

Compared to Li Yu, he believed in Mrs. Zhuang more, so he couldn't take risks.

After saying that, he looked towards the inner room to the side. The woman on the bed was sleeping on her back, with gauze wrapped around her arms outside the thin quilt.

Last night, he held Bai Li in his arms and drove back in the car. In the car, he found that she was shaken and pushed, but he couldn't wake her up. He stabbed her arm with the dagger he had chosen for her in advance and put it in his belt, but Bai Li still didn't wake her up. Didn't wake up.

She had already made preparations for a more serious situation, but it still didn't work?

Zhou Jingyun cruelly made a deep cut on that fair and thin arm, blood gushed out, but it was still useless.

He didn't dare to cut anymore.

Mrs. Zhuang, who was woken up in the middle of the night, looked at Bai Li with a serious expression.

"She may be greedy for fantasy again." She said, "Just like when the Bai family was accused and executed."

Mrs. Zhuang lit a burner of incense.

"This is the incense, I hope it can make her wake up."

Zhou Jingyun looked at the incense burner beside the bed. Although he couldn't smell the smell in his nose, the incense was diffused, the landscape door curtain was looming, and his vision became blurred, making it seem real and illusory.

Mrs. Zhuang said that no one can step inside, otherwise the aroma of the soul-inducing incense will be disturbed.

"What else can we do?" He turned his head and asked Mrs. Zhuang in a low voice.

In addition to incense, people actually need people. Mrs. Zhuang looked at the white fence on the bed in her bedroom. She was immersed in the fantasy that time, and her father reminded her to come back.

At that time, Bai Xun was still alive and a real person.

But now Baili's family is completely what she imagined.

If she doesn't want to do it herself, who can remind her?

Mrs. Zhuang looked at Zhou Jingyun: "If you still can't wake up after tonight, I will go find her myself."

Li Yu rushed into the Prince of Chu's Mansion. The maids who were walking on the road did not rush to avoid him. They were kicked away and fell to their knees in panic.

"Your Highness!" Cai Songnian finally caught up, supported and grabbed Li Yu, "Slow down!"

Li Yu ignored him and continued to stride forward.

"Your Highness, what did you say to Zhou Jingyun?" Cai Songnian asked, looking angry, "How dare he be so rude!"

Although the concierge of Dongyang Marquis Mansion directly invited Li Yu in, he was not allowed to enter. Not long after, His Highness was thrown out by Zhou Jingyun's bodyguards.

His Highness looked like he had red eyes and a pale face at that time. He banged on the door of Dongyang Marquis Mansion and shouted Zhou Jingyun's name, his hoarse voice seemed to be broken.

Cai Songnian almost summoned the surrounding secret guards to rush into the Dongyang Marquis Mansion, but His Highness suddenly stopped and leaned motionless on the gate of Dongyang Marquis Mansion. If he hadn't held him with his own hands and felt the body temperature, he could have seen that His Highness still had his eyes open. Panting, he almost thought he had fainted.

"I still have a way, yes, I have a way to save her, go back quickly."

His Highness suddenly murmured, then pushed him away and was about to run away. He hurriedly grabbed the person and loaded him into the car, speeding back to Prince Chu's Mansion under the prying eyes of the surrounding people.

It is conceivable that there will be some weird rumors going around next.

He knew that His Highness and Zhou Jingyun did not have a deep affection. Their relationship was the white lady.

This little white lady was first Zhou Jingyun's wife, then she came to His Highness, and now she is back to Zhou Jingyun, so in the end, His Highness went crazy?

Cai Songnian couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he was angry and sad. Seeing Li Yu walking quickly inward without saying a word, his eyes dark and blank, he couldn't help but persuade: "Your Highness, there are many beauties in the world."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yu pushed him away, stepped into the room, and slammed the door.

"I'm going to sleep."

Asleep? Cai Songnian believed what Li Yu said before, but now he doesn't believe it. His Highness looks like he is going to sleep. He looks broken, but he is also like boiling water.

Cai Songnian was locked out and asked urgently: "Your Highness, let the doctor come and take a look. At least have a bowl of soothing soup."

"No! Don't disturb me!"

"I'm going to bed, don't disturb me."

Li Yu ran to the bed. He was really going to sleep.

Zhou Jingyun, this idiot, doesn't know anything. The last time Zhou Jingyun was around A Li, he didn't even know that the people around him had changed, or that he rushed over to drive away Empress Jiang and let A Li come back.

He couldn't tell Zhou Jingyun about the strange things happening to A Li. It was too unbelievable. Who knew what Zhou Jingyun would do. It would be terrible if he hurt A Li.

Zhou Jingyun wouldn't let him in, so he couldn't push Bai Li awake, but there was another way to help A Li.

He was too flustered just now, he just wanted to see A Li immediately and forgot the previous method.

His dream.

Baili had asked him to help him sleep several times before.

The thought flashed across his mind, and Li Yu pounded the bed hard. This time, Bai Li didn't say anything, and he didn't even take the initiative to go to sleep. As expected, something happened.

Bai Li must have been possessed by Empress Chiang's ghost.

Li Yu raised his head and looked around.

"Ali!" he called, "Ali, you are here, right?"

It was the same way before. A Li came to him when he was in danger. A Li also said that he couldn't see her, but he could help her.

No one responded in the quiet room, and he couldn't see anything.

"Ah Li, don't be afraid." Li Yu slowed down his voice. Ah Li must be very anxious now. He couldn't be distracted. "I'll go to bed soon. I'm here."

But now he is in a state of confusion, and he can't just fall asleep.

Li Yu rummaged around the bedside and took out a small box from the secret compartment under the pillow. This was the only thing he brought with him after moving into Prince Chu's Mansion.

The princess's palace is rich and noble, with gorgeous buildings and ships, and the Shangguan palace is also extravagant. He is even more well-dressed and well-fed, but in fact he has nothing of his own, only a box of incense given by Bai Li.

After two months in the palace, he still couldn't sleep well, so Bai Li made incense for him to accompany him to sleep.

There are only two sticks left in a box of incense.

Fortunately there are two left.

Li Yu took a deep breath, turned around and went into the clean room to wash up, put on soft pajamas, took a sip of warm tea, and put down the curtain in the room. The sunlight was cut off and the bedroom was dark.

The incense was lit, and white smoke rose slowly in the darkness. Li Yu lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

Really fell asleep.

Cai Songnian was close to the door. At first, he could still hear movement, walking around, washing up, drinking tea, and then there was no sound.

His Highness's state from last night to now was really scary, and Cai Songnian couldn't help but quietly open the door and come in.

Your Highness, please don’t think too hard about it.

But when I came in, I saw that the person on the bed was indeed asleep. Although his face was still pale, he was not as panicked as when he was awake before. It was just that his breathing was not steady, his brows were wrinkled from time to time, and he slept very uneasily.

Li Yu tried hard to open his eyes.

He vaguely remembered that A Li said that he couldn't see her when he was sleeping in his dream.

He was really worried about how she was doing now and whether she was injured or not. He wanted to see her with his own eyes.

His eyes stung, and he couldn't help curling up and covering them with his hands. What came to his mind the next moment? Can he move his hands? Then, he opened his fingers and pressed his eyelids bit by bit.

It hurts, like a knife cutting flesh.

But with the pain, light came through, getting brighter and brighter, until he opened his eyes suddenly.

My eyes were white and empty.

Li Yu slowly sat up. Is this his dream? Not everyone says that dreams are bizarre, there was nothing in his dreams

"Ali!" he shouted loudly.

The sound is between heaven and earth, one sound goes away, and another sound echoes back.

No one responded.

Li Yu stood up and ran in no particular direction. His dreams were endless and exactly the same, as if he was just spinning in circles.

There is no Ali.

Where's Ah Li? Isn't she here yet? Could it be that she has lost her soul? The thought flashed across his mind, and Li Yu immediately shook it off, no, no, A Li is very powerful.

Ah Li must still be there. She said he couldn't see her. Yes, every time he woke up from the dream, he couldn't remember seeing her.

How can I see her? Li Yu stood there and thought eagerly that he wanted to see her and see her clearly.

When this thought flashed across his mind, Li Yu felt dazzled. When he looked in front of him, he saw a dressing table with a mirror covered with gems.

Mirror?

There was a distant and vague memory with a bit of familiarity. Li Yu walked over and remembered that this was his mother's makeup mirror. When he was a child, he often sat in his mother's arms and watched her dressing up.

Li Yu sat down and looked at the mirror in front of him. A child's face was reflected in the mirror.

children.

Li Yu was surprised and saw that the children also looked surprised.

He raised his hand and touched his face, and the child in the mirror also touched his face.

Is this him? Him as a child?

Yes, A Li said that he met him when he was a child, so when A Li met Shangguan Yue for the first time, he immediately called him by the name Li Yu.

Li Yu couldn't help but smile and breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, he was cute and beautiful when he was a child. Ah Li must have liked him very much.

"Li Yu."

A female voice shouted.

Ah Li's voice! Li Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly turned his head, but there was nothing behind him. When he looked around, there was no sign of Bai Li.

"—What does your grandma look like?"

The sound in my ears continued.

Li Yu withdrew his gaze and looked in the mirror. He saw that the child in the mirror was still turning his head back. Then, someone came over and sat down.

"-Doesn't it look good when you smile?"

A face suddenly appeared in front of him, with one thin eyebrow, one round eye with black pupil, half of the corners of his mouth that were slightly turned up, a distant eyebrow, one autumn eye, and half of a cherry mouth.

She looked at Li Yu and smiled slightly.

Li Yu felt like the world was spinning, and the face and the mirror were shattered instantly.

He flopped down on the edge of the bed, gasping for breath.

Nightmare? Are you awake? What did he see? Why is Ali in the dream?

"Ali—"

A shout rang in my ears.

This was his voice. Li Yu lay on the bedside and slowly raised his head. His eyes were dim and empty. It was not his bedroom. Moreover, there was a dressing table and mirror in front of him.

The voice came from the mirror.

"Ali, I'm staying in Lou Chuan tonight—"

Li Yu looked at the mirror. The mirror was shaking. In the bright lights, the door of the houseboat opened and he saw himself standing at the door.

This time he was not a child, but his adult self, dressed in rich clothes, looking over with a smile on his face, his brows dancing, and his eyes sparkling.

"Let's have another night with everyone. I built this building boat in the first place, so I can't just throw it away without saying a word."

When he said this, he looked a little worried and took a step forward.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Li Yu saw someone turning around and sitting in front of the mirror. She shook her head: "It's okay. I didn't expect you to come back tonight. You go first. I'll take a shower and change clothes and then go over."

Li Yu smiled in the mirror: "Okay, I have a lot to tell you today."

After saying that, she left, the door closed, and there was only one person left in the mirror. She turned around slowly, combing her hair in front of the mirror, with a thin eyebrow, a distant mountain eyebrow, a round eye with black pupils, and an autumn water eye. , half of the slightly raised corners of the mouth, half of the cherry mouth smiled slightly.

"The emperor's grandson is more handsome than his good-for-nothing prince father."

Li Yu only felt that his eyes were cut by knives, and the mirror shattered in an instant, and the world was spinning again. He was suspended in the boundless chaos, seemingly unconscious, and blood and tears fell from his closed eyes.

Zhou Jingyun woke up suddenly and saw the darkness of night.

On the ground outside the door of his bedroom, although it was not far from the east room, he still wanted to be closer to the white fence so that he could discover it immediately if anything happened.

Now

He looked at the gauze curtain of mountains and rivers in front of him. Under the dim lights at night, the mountains and rivers swayed gently.

shake? The doors and windows are closed and there is no wind. How can it sway?

Zhou Jingyun subconsciously looked at the door. The door was wide open. He stood up suddenly and looked at the bedroom. The bed was empty.

Ah Li!

He raised his foot to rush over, but he stopped it abruptly, took out the dagger from his waist, and without hesitation slashed it on the back of his hand. Blood gushed out instantly, and pain spread throughout his body.

It was real, not a dream, not an illusion. Zhou Jingyun then raised the curtain and rushed into the room. The night light was turned on. There was no one on the bed or in the room. Zhou Jingyun turned around, grabbed the night light and ran out.

The night was quiet, and the entire Hou Mansion fell into a deep sleep. Zhou Jingyun seemed to be able to see traces of people walking by, with shallow footsteps and swaying shadows. He followed, but he couldn't catch up.

Walking through the courtyard gate with the night light, walking along the corridor, until we reach

Zhou Jingyun raised his head and saw that this was his study room.

A light came on in the study.

Zhou Jingyun took a deep breath and walked in. There was no one in the brightly lit room, but there was a sound from the library behind the bookshelf.

"Ali?"

Zhou Jingyun called, walking in with a night light.

There were no lights in the library, there were bookshelves on top of each other, and the night light shone in, making it seem like there were shadows swaying everywhere.

There is a slender shadow in the deepest part.

"Ali?" Zhou Jingyun asked, raising the night light, "Are you awake?"

The shadow turned around, and the light of the night lamp fell on her white pajamas, gently fluttering, and Zhou Jingyun's eyes followed the light and fell on her face.

The fair and bright face also looked at him and smiled slightly.

"Zhou Jingyun." She said, "Why did you paint me so ugly?"

She unfolded the scroll she held in her hand. The woman on it was smiling, the light flickered, and the smile merged with the person holding the scroll.

Zhou Jingyun's whole body was cold. He let go of his hand and the night lamp fell. The scattered firelight was instantly swallowed up by the night.

Thank you all for staying with us for another month. Have a great holiday, everyone!

If everything goes well, I should be able to finish it in another month. hey-hey.
