"I'm sorry, I scared you." Yi Chenxuan let go of his hand with a sigh and gave up.
Bai Qige straightened her clothes, her expression became colder unconsciously, and the distance between her and Yi Chenxuan also quietly widened. Being able to be confessed is a happy thing, especially in this kind of adversity, people can't help but think
Let go of all the fervent and affectionate feelings you cling to.
However, Bai Qige was not dazzled by the unexpected confession. The more affectionate Yi Chenxuan became, the more prominent the flaws that were unintentionally revealed in his words made her feel cold.
"It seems that the fifth prince should not know so clearly about Princess Hongxiao and me stealing the defense map."
Yi Chenxuan, who was about to take a step forward and stand side by side, suddenly froze and was speechless.
Of course he had nothing to say.
Bai Qige raised her head and looked calmly at the brightly lit imperial garden in the distance. The gradually falling night greedily swallowed up the light, and she didn't know if there would be a day of complete darkness. A spark of fire was so rare in the cold night, and it was always
But it was out of reach. The person she thought would be the only source of warmth made her wary and cold. Is there anyone who can give her strength in this vast and cold palace of the distant country?
If Yi Chenxuan just promised her a tender promise with sweet words, maybe she would choose to believe it after hesitating in every possible way, but he said the last thing he should have said.
"Not many people know that I am a substitute for the princess, and even fewer people know the third lady of the Bai family. But they know about the grudges between me and Princess Hongxiao, and they know that I secretly presented the defense plan and made Zhao country become a vassal state.
It can be said that there are very few people. It will take a lot of effort for Yi Chenjing to find out any clues. Fifth Prince, you live in the palace and do not interfere in foreign affairs. Where did you get this little-known information? "
"I think you misunderstood, Qi Ge." Yi Chenjing smiled bitterly. He wanted to hold Bai Qige but was thrown away without mercy. She let go sadly, and the prince Yi Chenxuan stood quietly one step behind Bai Qige: "
The seventh brother looks peaceful and humble, but deep down he is a proud and reclusive person who keeps a low profile all year round. I have always wondered why he agreed to let you marry him but kept tormenting him, so he sent people to try every means.
Investigate secretly——Qi Ge, I’m just worried about you.”
Is it Yi Chenjing who is forbearing and silent? If Yi Chenjing, who is always harsh and violent towards her, is called forbearing, then why is she not the same?
If she doesn't want to endure it, Bai Qige believes that it is not difficult to kill Yi Chenjing with her ability, even though her current body is quite fragile.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Qige's emotions returned to their previous state: "What the Seventh Prince is like has nothing to do with me, and the intrigues between your brothers have nothing to do with me. In this deep palace, I only want to protect myself and nothing else.
I hope the fifth prince will succeed."
At this point, it would be too much to explain. Yi Chenxuan is not an ignorant person. After a slight relaxation, he quickly returned to normal and returned to being the gentle and elegant fifth prince of the distant country.
"It's dark and it's difficult to walk. I'll go back with you."
When the eight-treasure palace lantern with its soft light appeared together with the two figures, Yi Chenjing's eyes turned cold while he was drinking alcohol, but his tense nerves relaxed.
Emperor Yao was drinking to his heart's content, and nodded to signal the two of them to return to their seats: "You're back? Come and sit down at the table. It just so happens that Jin Zhaoyi wants to perform a song. The Seventh Prince has been busy with wars all year round, and has made countless contributions to our country.
Today I will use Jin Zhaoyi’s singing to offer a toast, hoping that the Seventh Prince will achieve greater military success and become the leading prince-general in my country."
Jin Zhaoyi's voice was clear and soft, and the whole audience was intoxicated by the melodious song. Only the last table next to the door had a heavy atmosphere, and the wine in the pot was poured down quickly.
"It's such a coincidence that we left together and came back together." Covered by the singing and cheering, Yi Chenjing raised her glass and whispered.
Bai Qige poured herself a glass of wine with an expressionless face, then drank the glass in one gulp: "Whatever you think, you won't believe anything I say anyway."
"I wonder why it took you so long to change your clothes. I wonder how this outfit seems to have been worn by the fifth prince's concubine Qi. I wonder what collusion the two of you have in private."
Being imprisoned in Lianchenxuan like a prisoner all day long, where is the chance to collude with others? Knowing that this was a deliberate attempt to make things difficult, Bai Qige was not angry, but showed a plain smile: "Yes, the fifth prince and I have colluded for a long time. I wish I could do it every day
Let’s meet and express our feelings.”
Even if the impossible thing happened, no one would believe it even if he admitted it. Knowing that Bai Qige was deliberately mocking her, Yi Chenjing simply shut up and stopped talking.
Although he didn't want to, Yi Chenjing had to admit that Bai Qige's eloquence was countless times better than his.
Seeing that the two of them were very close and whispering frequently, Suyan thought that Yi Chenjing had changed after being scolded by Emperor Yao. This was a sign that the relationship between the two was gradually easing. She couldn't help but smile and poured two glasses of wine and handed them to Bai Qige and Yi Chen.
In front of Jing: "Sister Qi Ge has been in Dayao for a while. Your Highness has been busy and has no time to talk. I think it's better to have a drink with each other. Let's talk a thousand words into the wine. From now on, the whole family will be together."
How about being harmonious and beautiful?"
A sarcastic smile spread across her lips, Yi Chenjing took the wine glass and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Okay, of course. With such an ugly girl in my arms, I'm not afraid of outsiders thinking about her."
Suyan Surao was listening on the side and couldn't help but be surprised, why does His Highness seem so jealous?
"Your Highness has given you the award, so please do it first as a token of respect." Bai Qige was neither annoyed nor angry, she raised her head and drank freely, and not a drop of the large glass of wine was left.
Will Yi Chenjing be jealous of her and the fifth prince? What a joke. I'm afraid he is eager for someone she will fall in love with, and then beats the mandarin duck to make her miserable.
There is no fun in a banquet where everyone has their own thoughts. It was not late at night, so Yi Chenjing took Bai Qige and the three of them to leave early, using the excuse that it was inconvenient for Concubine Jing to stay alone in Lianchen Pavilion. The distance between the Imperial Garden and Lianchen Pavilion was not very close.
, Yi Chenjing asked Suyan Surao to take the chariot back first, leaving Bai Qige alone beside him, saying that he was a little drunk and wanted to walk back to sober up.
Su Yan didn't think much about it, and Su Rao was reluctant but had no choice but to follow her sister and leave unhappily. Bai Qige sent the two sisters away with a smile, then turned around, and the smile disappeared.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, now that no one is watching."
"How do you know?" Yi Chenjing raised his eyebrows, looking quite interested, "Can you tell if someone is following you?"
"There were people watching all the way from Lianchen Pavilion to the Royal Garden Banquet, but there were no ones when I went to change clothes." Bai Qige did not answer directly, a light flashed in her eyes, "I wronged you before, but now that I think about it,
It makes no sense for you to send people to spy on me."
After being silent for a long time, Yi Chenjing felt a little confused when she spoke again: "You have really changed. If I give you enough power, maybe I won't be your opponent at all."
"If you don't mess with me, I won't deal with you."
Is it possible that after the most important woman in his life was killed and died tragically, he would forget everything and let the person who might be the murderer roam free? No matter how much she changes and how smart she is, Bai Qige will never be able to escape from his grasp until she
After losing her use value, whether as a memorial or as a companion in another world, I have to kill her personally to avenge Hongxiao.
Jiangshan, revenge, he will never give up.
The slow pace suddenly stopped, Bai Qige turned sideways, her face blurred under the moonlight: "What do you want? The throne? The world? A name that will last forever? You have to humbly endure for three years and guard all your brothers and the emperor. How much more do you plan to wait?
Did he reveal his true colors only at the age of 20?"
"I would like to advise you not to be too smart. Knowing too much is not good for you, especially when you are still burdened with sins." Yi Chenjing kept walking, his tone was as cold as ice, but his heart moved, and he became more and more surprised.
Such a keen woman, who is she? Is she really the cowardly and narrow-minded Xiao Yingge?
Bai Qige looked around carefully and made sure there were no outsiders before speaking calmly. Every word she spoke struck a chord in Yi Chenjing's heart.
"Designed Yun Zhongjin to deceive the defense plan and break through the Zhaoguo border defense without any effort. The seventh prince of the Yaoguo I know is extremely intelligent, courageous and resourceful - don't look at me, I'm not praising you. But after returning to the Yaoguo palace
You have always been silent and low-key, even pretending to be stupid to show to the princes and the emperor, including deliberately letting the emperor hear the scolding you ordered me to pour the wine just now, making everyone think that you are arrogant and do not know how to restrain yourself. All of this was done to hide it cleverly.
Your strength. Are you worried that you will be squeezed out by other princes if you gain too much limelight? The ubiquitous tracking and surveillance, including on me, are all the product of the power struggle within the royal family."
After piecing together the bits and pieces of information, Bai Qige came to the above conclusion, which was the result of her constant thinking since entering the palace.
By the way, I gained a deeper understanding of Yi Chenjing.
Silence was like the smell of frost-repelling flowers on the roadside that filled the air between the two of them. On a sparsely populated road, the seventh prince of the distant country, who was least favored by the courtiers, stood with his hands behind his back. The woman in front of him looked up at each other and was thin in stature, but had a rather tall figure.
The man's eyes are calmer and more resolute.
"Yi Chenjing, I can help you."
He wants to hide his power and accumulate strength in secret, wait for the right time to counterattack, completely destroy those who once looked down on him and suppressed him, and become the Emperor of Dayao who controls half of Zhongzhou. If this is his purpose, then Bai Qige is convinced that her
Existence can greatly shorten this long process of patience, at least half. It just depends on whether he believes it and whether he has the courage and endurance to let her interfere.
The most important thing is, will he put aside his grudges for the sake of the country?
This question was indeed difficult to choose. Yi Chenjing stared at it for a long time. However, there was no flaw in his slightly pale face. The ugly scars seemed to be mocking his futility. There was no sign that those words that could shock anyone were sincere.
Still fake.
The night wind gradually picked up, causing strands of Bai Qige's hair to fly away.
The scar on the face is a little itchy, not because it is still in the scab stage, but because the dry and warm fingertips are gently brushed.
This was the first time that Bai Qige saw Yi Chenjing's expression like this. She was confused and confused, as if she was immersed in a dream. Her deep pain was undisguised, and her two eyes that were deeper than the night seemed to suck people into a bottomless abyss.
And his voice was so soft for the first time, almost drunkenly murmuring.
"Xiao Yingge, tell me, does Hong Xiao's death have anything to do with you?"
