Bai Qige woke up in the afternoon of the next day. When she opened her eyes, she saw a strange bed and familiar arms - Yi Chenjing held her in his arms like that, leaning against the bed and falling asleep.
Much leaner.
The wound on his back could barely feel the pain, but his heart hurt like a knife. Bai Qige still retained the memory before she passed out and thought about every word she heard on his back.
Then he showed a sad smile that he didn't even notice.
In his heart, the most important person is not her after all, but the Princess of Hong Kong who has passed away long ago and carries with him all his attachments. Who is she? A shadow? A substitute? Or a living doll for him to express his grief? Still thinking about those things about himself?
His dedication finally moved him, his tenderness, his life together, his sincere eyes and vows... But he didn't know that they were all given to others.
"Are you awake?" There was a soft whisper in the ear, and immediately the corner of the lips became warm, and it was Yi Chenjing who lowered her eyebrows and tilted her head to kiss him softly.
Bai Qige turned her head and avoided the warm lips without leaving a trace. She used to be intoxicated by this special breath and couldn't extricate herself, but now, she felt a little conflicted.
"Don't move around. The wound hasn't healed yet. Even if you feel uncomfortable, you can only endure it for now." Yi Chenjing chuckled and rubbed his sore shoulders and back, "Look, I have to endure it with you, the poisonous doctor said.
You can't lie down, I've been holding you all night, if you don't get up well I will-"
"Just let it go."
Faintly, Bai Qige interrupted indifferently.
He let go and gave her freedom, and she also cut off his never-ending obsession, which is not bad for anyone.
Yi Chenjing seemed not to have heard anything, resting his chin lightly on his thin shoulder: "You sit on the bed for a while, and I'll get you some food. Are you starving after not eating for a day? Wait, I'll be back soon.
.”
Seeing Yi Chenjing limping out of the room with numb legs, Bai Qige didn't say anything else. She knew Yi Chenjing, and the more calmly he acted, the more it showed that he cared about those words, but he didn't want to
Just talking, hiding, avoiding, not facing him. Since he didn't want to talk, forget it. Anyway, she didn't have the energy to argue with him now. The strength in her body seemed to be taken away, as if she was exhausted and exhausted, and she couldn't help doing whatever she wanted.
Let's wait until the wind calms down. There are too many things to consider right now, and he shouldn't be distracted at this time.
Not long after Yi Chenjing went out, someone pushed him in. Bai Qige looked up weakly. The man who pushed him in was dressed in plain clothes. It was obvious at a glance that he was a man who did not want to be restrained. He must have been the aloof and poisonous man.
Cured.
"Thank you to the poison doctor for saving me."
"If you want to thank me, hurry down the mountain. You guys are making trouble for me." Shen Yuqiu didn't appreciate it at all and pushed Yi Chenjing to sit by the bed.
After lying on the bed all night and all morning, not daring to move, Yi Chenjing's legs were sore and numb, and walking was a problem. She couldn't stand after being pushed like this, so she reluctantly sat down close to Bai Qige: "
I'll take her down the mountain when she gets better, you don't need to rush her."
"Why are you urging me? I was merciful by not kicking you down the mountain. I feel upset just looking at you." Shen Yuqiu glanced at Yi Chenjing coldly, but there was no trace of disgust in his expression.
Bai Qige looked at the two people inexplicably. She never thought that the mysterious poison doctor could be such a child-minded person. When these two people are together, they feel like playmates who have a great relationship but always quarrel.
It’s hard to believe that we’ve only known each other for two days.
Being stared at by her, Shen Yuqiu felt uncomfortable all over and frowned: "What are you looking at? Your poison has been detoxified. You can return to normal within three days by taking some medicine to replenish qi and blood."
"Master, please let Sister Bai stay for a few more days. It just so happens that Brother Chen's injury has not recovered yet. Wouldn't it be better to wait for them to recover and go down the mountain together?" Outside the door, Fu Chu stepped into the room with food, "Sister Bai, this It's the white porridge that Brother Chen asked Ye Zi to cook for you, as well as a few dishes of pickled vegetables. Your injuries are no worse than others, so you need to pay more attention to your diet. You'll just have to eat something light these days."
Bai Qige had no strength when she first woke up. Yi Chenjing grabbed the bowl and chopsticks and insisted on feeding her. Behind him, Fu Chu quietly pulled Shen Yuqiu's sleeves. However, Shen Yuqiu had no intention of avoiding it. Instead, she squinted and watched Yi Chenjing's movements. .
"The porridge has just been cooked. Do you want to burn her to death?"
Yi Chenjing paused after hearing this and sprinkled half a spoonful of porridge on Bai Qige. In a hurry, he hurriedly wiped the bowl off before putting it down. As a result, the mess became more and more messy, and the whole bowl of porridge was stuck on the quilt. .
Shen Yuqiu sighed, his disdain undisguised.
In fact, this is no wonder Yi Chenjing. He was sent to Zhao State as a hostage since he was a child and always lived alone. After returning to the country, his status dictated it. The concubine had Suyan Surao to take care of him without him having to worry about him. How could he have any experience in serving others? Just seeing myself in such a mess and being laughed at by Shen Yuqiu, I couldn't help but feel so good.
"The porridge is hot, don't you know how to blow it? Give it a try before feeding it. It won't burn you to death. If you don't pay, you won't get the food. Don't waste my food here." He ordered Fu Chu to bring another bowl of clear food. Shen Yuqiu handed the porridge to Yi Chenjing angrily.
Yi Chenjing followed Shen Yuqiu's instructions and carefully blew the cool air, and then carefully tested the temperature of the porridge. After confirming that it was not hot, he breathed a sigh of relief and brought it to Bai Qige's mouth, only to find that Bai Qige stared at him in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
"The porridge is cold." Yi Chenjing reminded in a low voice.
Bai Qige came back to her senses, looked at Qingjun's face in front of her and shook her head slightly: "Put it over there, I can't eat it now."
Things here, things in the imperial capital, and all kinds of messy things filled her heart. Even though she was hungry, she couldn't swallow even a mouthful of soup. Seeing Yi Chenjing's attentiveness and thoughtfulness, her mood became even lower.
Before Yi Chenjing could speak, Fu Chu rushed to comfort him: "Sister Bai, are you worried about what will happen next? Don't worry, Master promised to help and will send you and Brother Chen back to the capital safely. Ye Zi is contacting Brother Zhan and Aunt Qingxu, they will arrive in Xichu in a few days."
"Really? Then I have to thank the poison doctor again." Bai Qige thanked her lightly and glanced at Yi Chenjing with eyes full of questions.
The poison doctor can at most help her detoxify and heal her injuries. What else can a person who has lived in seclusion in a remote place do for a long time? How can the turbulent situation be changed at will by a little poison doctor? The strange thing is that Yi Chenjing seems to have no objection to this, It is extremely strange that a person like him who does not trust others calmly accepts the intervention of the poisonous doctor.
"Qingxu will take care of things for you when you return to the imperial capital. Xiao Yezi and Fu Chu will also go together. There is nothing to worry about. From now on, you will have to rely on yourselves. I will never get involved in the muddy waters of Wanghou Tianjia. Put away the bottle of medicine. Taking it will prevent the normal poison from invading the body. The medicine will be effective for more than a month. It will not be that easy for the fifth prince to poison him again - by the way, seal your mouth after leaving Xichu. I don't want to Anyone know anything about me."
Shen Yuqiu tapped her fingers on the table, and a black head poked its head through the crack of the door. It was Ye Huawan, the eccentric owner of Yiye Villa.
Seeing Yi Chenjing sitting next to Bai Qige, Ye Huawan felt a little disappointed. She changed from her usual chattering little overlord state and moved to sit down next to Fu Chu. A pair of big, watery eyes secretly glanced at Yi Chenjing from time to time. Take a quick look.
"Ye Zi has never been outside Xi Chu when she is so old, but she knows more people than me. With her and Aunt Qingxu's connections, we can save a lot of trouble along the way." Fu Chu patted the junior sister's head lovingly, The meaning of love is self-evident.
"Qingxu is...?"
This was not the first time that Yi Chenjing heard the name Qingxu mentioned by Fu Chu. It sounded like he was very familiar with Zhan Ting, but since he had known Zhan Ting for so many years, he had never heard him mention it before, so he was a little curious.
"It's my cousin, the leader of the mountain bandits in Lingxi County," Shen Yuqiu took over the conversation, and at the same time, she told Bai Qige a fact that stunned even Bai Qige, "an old friend of Zhan Ting."
Zhan Ting’s... old friend?!!
And he’s also the bandit leader?!
Bai Qige was so surprised that she even had an impulse to fly to Zhan Ting and ask him - how many unknown secrets have you hidden silently?
It turns out that the person who really tells the story is none other than Zhan Ting, the loyal guard who seems to be honest, honest and honest.
Perhaps the unexpected news dispelled the worries, Bai Qige's pale face began to show a bright color, and her smile gradually appeared. Fu Chu saw that she was no longer melancholy and felt much more at ease in her heart, but she saw that Ye Hua was much older. A tangle of helplessness.
Even though she was pressed by Shen Yuqiu, she still refused to admit that it was an indisputable fact that the little girl Ye Huawan fell in love with Yi Chenjing.
Knowing the lust and admiring Shaoai, Ye Huawan's eighth year of life is also the season of first love. Over the years, the men she has come into contact with are mixed, and the only ones who have close friendships are master Shen Yuqiu and senior brother Fu Chu. Now, suddenly, a man with superior elegance and demeanor appears. Yi Chenjing, it is reasonable to have a good impression. You can't blame her, but you can't stop her either.
Who knew that the clues were coming and going like rain, what would happen? Now, I can only hope that she will see Yi Chenjing's infatuated feelings and let go as soon as possible, so as not to be emotionally hurt at such a young age.
There was no sound in the room for a while, only the soft breeze caressing the grass outside, it was quiet and peaceful.
After a long time, Ye Huawan, who couldn't bear his temper, spoke in a low voice: "Master, can I stay in the imperial capital for a while longer?"
The drunkard's interest was not in the wine, but in the man. Shen Yuqiu snorted coldly and did not answer, but Fu Chu came to help and interceded: "The imperial capital is bustling and lively, and Ye Zi has never been outside, so he will inevitably be attracted by the new things in the world and not want to come back. If the trip to send Brother Chen and Sister Bai back to the imperial capital goes well, master, why don't you allow her to play for a few more days until she gets tired of playing and doesn't miss her before coming back?" After giving Yi Chenjing a meaningful look, Fu Chu lowered his head and spoke slightly. Hesitation: "I think Brother Chen won't mind if we bother you for a little longer?"
Ever since Ye Huawan came in, she had been secretly peeping at Yi Chenjing. How could Bai Qige, who was so sharp and cautious, not notice it? She understood that kind of shining eyes, which was obsession, intoxication, and love that would make you forget everything around you when you like someone. , if it was normal, she would tell Ye Huawan straight away and then dissuade Ye Huawan, but at this time, she didn't want to speak.
Who she likes and who she doesn't like is Yi Chenjing's freedom. When she was her wife, she could take precautions and nip Ye Huawan's girlish thoughts in the bud. But now she even has doubts about who she is. Where did she come from?
Can qualifications and power prevent Ye Huawan from being infatuated with Yi Chenjing?
But she thinks Yi Chenjing won't stay with Ye Huawan for too long. He doesn't like trouble the most, especially emotional matters.
"No one knows what will happen in the future. Whether the Imperial Capital and his party will succeed or fail cannot be determined."
After a long while, Yi Chenjing finally responded, and the answer not only surprised Bai Qige, but also buried a deeper uneasiness in her heart.
The seventh prince of Yaoguo, who had stretched his sword eyebrows and was tired and anxious for days, showed a rare bright smile, with a charming light on his handsome face: "If everything goes well, Miss Ye can stay in the imperial capital as long as she wants, and you can come and go from Lianchenxuan at will.
Even if I stay here for the rest of my life, I won’t be bored.”
