Yaohuang has grown old and his body is not as strong and stalwart as it used to be. The high-spiritedness of the past is no longer found. Standing in front of his son with a strong body, it is inevitable to feel a little weak, old and weak. However, people are not confused. Yaohuang knows very well in his heart that the weight of this slap is the same. Be clear about the possible consequences
The words in that letter were clear and the accusation was sonorous and powerful. His heart was bleeding for the country he had worked so hard to build and for the children he had devoted his efforts to raising.
The hand finally falls down
"Father, didn't you see those poisoned soldiers? Their wounds couldn't stop bleeding, and all of them would bleed to death. If it weren't for Qi Gefu's fate and the guidance of someone to find the poison doctor..." Yi Chenjing stopped talking. Disappointment verging on despair[
Isn’t it clear enough? The father’s every move has clearly told him who is the most beloved son.
A sense of absurdity and fatigue came together. Yi Chenjing no longer expected anything. The temperature in his eyes also cooled down, but the sneer on his lips became more and more obvious. He was fighting desperately outside to charge into the battle. Yi Chenxuan was plotting in the dark, sneaking up on him over the years. How much contribution has Yi Chenxuan made to Yaoguo despite conspiracy and assassination? Besides pretending to be a good person in front of others, what else has Yi Chenxuan done? What Yi Chenxuan was given was extraordinarily tolerant. Even though he knew about the dirty and shameful deeds behind the scenes, he was still reluctant to give him a slap in the face.
It's enough. He's seen enough. He's had enough. He doesn't want to deceive himself to fight for anything anymore.
Xu realized how much harm his favoritism had caused to his other son. Yaohuang was suddenly speechless: "Xuan'er, what is written here...is really true."
Yi Chenxuan naturally refused to admit it. He opened his eyes and knelt in front of Emperor Yao with a look of extreme grievance: "Father, if you believe it, it's the truth. If you don't believe it, it's just a rumor. Only he himself knows best what the purpose of the person who wrote the letter is." I don’t want to explain more, whether it’s a frame-up by a wicked person or whether I’ve committed many evil deeds, it all depends on my father’s decision. If my father decides that what this letter says is true, he wants to punish me.”
After hesitating for a long time, Yaohuang turned to look at Yi Chenjing and said in a rather unnatural tone: "Jing'er, are you sure the person who wrote this letter is telling the truth? There are too many people in the harem who have ulterior motives. You should listen and be kind." Don’t let villains take advantage of the loopholes..."
"Father, you know very well whether it's real or fake, don't you?" Yi Chenjing laughed angrily, the knuckles of his clenched palms protruding, and his cold tone showed no respect at all. "No matter what evidence I produce, it can be said that it was someone who deliberately framed it. Since it is presented in this way, What's the use of more evidence? Maybe I shouldn't have come back at all and died in Zhao Kingdom to fulfill my father's wishes."
"bastard"
The palm that could not fall with a crisp sound just changed the target without hesitation this time.
"Your Majesty," Ou Suiliang wanted to stop him, but he didn't have time to take a breath. Seeing Yi Chenjing's cold and determined cheeks with pale red fingerprints, the first general of the Yao Kingdom who was now a father couldn't help showing a look of distress.
How sad and desperate do you have to be to say those words? After returning from Zhao Kingdom, Yi Chenjing behaved extremely silently and forbearing. He treated Yao Huang with the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, and the love between father and son was even tolerated by his confidant who had always been by Yao Huang's side. I couldn't help but want to show more care on my father's behalf. However, Yao Huang shattered the barely maintained relationship between father and son with a slap in the face.
This slap caused silence on the side. Yi Chenjing is not a child anymore. He will not cry because of being beaten and scolded by his father. Even if it hurts, he must hold back his facial expression in his heart. The person who would really feel embarrassed and embarrassed is probably Yaohuang himself. When Yi Chenjing twisted The frail emperor, who was over his head and no longer spoke or looked at him, was completely exhausted and coughed rapidly and violently. If Suiliang hadn't helped him, he couldn't even stand still.
"Father, please forgive me. The seventh brother was just confused for a moment and said stupid things. When he figures it out, he will realize that he was wrong. Father, the most important thing is to protect the dragon body." Yi Chenxuan rushed to Yaohuang's side with eagerness on his face. He was completely kind. The moment when the filial son's appearance and Yi Chenjing's figure intertwined, he showed a provocative smile from an angle invisible to outsiders.
Yi Chenjing lowered his head and looked at the ground, his fingernails pressed firmly against his palms, and pain continued to spread.
If Yi Chenxuan was the winner in the previous pursuit and escape, then Yi Chenxuan, who was favored at this moment, still did not lose. When he realized that no evidence was enough to force Emperor Yao to deal with Yi Chenxuan, Yi Chenjing even thought The possibility of defeating Yi Chenxuan in this life is probably very slim. Yao Huang's disregard for the facts will not help even if there are complete witnesses and material evidence.
"My son resigns"
The long-awaited face-to-face confrontation, the seventh prince of Dayao returned to his homeland after a narrow escape, his voice was cold and his face looked strange and alienated, as if he didn't even recognize the hesitant old man in front of him, and he refused to give even the slightest awe and concern.
Since I never treated him as my own son, why should I consider him my father?
His biological father had completely disappeared when he cruelly sent him to Zhao State to be a hostage.[
With a look of indifference, Yi Chenjing turned around, as cold as ice, and stepped out of the dormitory without waiting for Emperor Yao to respond.
"Chen Jing..." Bai Qige, who had been a bystander for a long time, couldn't help but spoke in a low voice.
Yi Chenjing paused for a moment as if he just remembered that there was someone missing beside him. He turned his head slightly and stretched his palm out in front of his wife: "Let's go, Qi Ge. There is nothing more to say."
Bai Qige nodded and held her warm hand without hesitation without looking back.
If there is a way to retreat, there is a way to go. Yi Chenjing's side is her final destination, success or failure, she is his wife, not to mention the dilemma of failure, even death, we have to walk together together, not to mention that they are just a temporary defeat and not a full journey. Yi Chenjing looked really disappointed when he lost everything, but Bai Qige believed that his actions did not mean giving up the blood stained on Yi Chenxuan's hands, and the sins he shouldered could not be written off with Emperor Yao's protection.
Emperor Yao doesn't want to be punished, right? It's good that this matter doesn't have to go through Emperor Yao anymore. Seizing the throne is not something that only the emperor approves of.
If anyone stops her, she will remove the obstacles
If God doesn't allow it, she will go against it
Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige's polite actions were not scolded by Emperor Yao. He closed his eyes and sighed. The waning old emperor said the most unconfident words in his life: "Give me some time...I will definitely give you an explanation."
The departing figure did not pause at all. Yaohuang gave a bitter smile and tightly grasped Yi Chenxuan who was holding him with his thin hands.
"Father"
"Xuan'er, he is your brother after all." He glanced meaningfully at Yi Chenxuan. Emperor Yao let go of his hands and sat on the couch. He spoke in a cool tone, "General, I sent the fifth prince back to Yaoheng Palace. No one has my orders." No entry or exit allowed”
"The general will obey the decree"
Yi Chenxuan was more or less surprised by the result. Since you chose to protect him, why not insist on staying under house arrest? What does it mean to make Yi Chenjing feel guilty, or to warn him not to play this dangerous game of obedience and treachery? Yi Chenxuan suddenly felt a little contempt. It turns out that this old guy who has been in power in the distant country for decades is nothing more than this. He doesn’t understand the principle of doing things with great talent but only later.
But at least he still stands above Yi Chenjing
The day when everything should have been settled, when the truth was revealed, turned out to be ridiculous because of Yao Huang's outrageous favoritism. Yi Chenjing left the dormitory in silence, walking hurriedly in silence, and her whole body was almost cold except for her palms. Only the hand that was tightly held by Bai Qige Is it real? Everything else seems to be about him. It's just a joke.
"You know clearly that there is no benefit to contradicting the emperor. What are you so angry about?" Bai Qige let him hold her slender wrist with a red mark.
Yi Chenjing didn't want to answer, so he slowed down so that Bai Qige wouldn't get tired and followed him quickly. Their shoulders finally came closer together again.
"Father said that he would make me king after returning from the Northern Expedition. I don't know if any of the lands we have walked through will become our new home." Corresponding to the pretended relaxed tone is an invisible expression. Yi Chenjing tried to show a smile on his face, but in the end he just moved the corners of his lips. He completely forgot what kind of movement and expression laughter is. If you can't smile, just smile. He has lived enough days wearing a mask. Maybe he can let it go in front of Bai Qige. Be careful to show your true expression of sadness or sadness
I thought that after the crown prince was deposed, the position of crown prince would be a choice between two options. Unexpectedly, the fight turned out to be a confused battle. How could an out-of-favor prince who had been treated as a pawn since he was a pawn at the mercy of others be included in the consideration list? Yi Chenjing wanted to laugh. He laughed at himself, at his own overestimation, at his own wishful thinking. Now Yi Chenxuan was happy, right? Even if his crime was exposed, his father would do his best to protect him. What else would he have to worry about in the future? Who knows when he lost his life due to an "accident"?
Frustrated as never before
"Yi Chenjing, look at me." The almost commanding tone came from Bai Qige. Yi Chenjing turned her head subconsciously and was caught off guard. Everything in front of her eyes went black, there was a snap, and there was another touch of pain on her cheek where the fingerprints were not removed [
Yi Chenjing looked at Bai Qige's thin lips in shock and was at a loss.
"I'm still awake. Do you want to slap me two more times?" Bai Qige raised her palms again and looked serious, no joke.
Yi Chenjing frowned and grabbed the hand hanging in the air: "What are you doing?"
"Wake you up"
"I'm not in the mood to make trouble with you."
Yi Chenjing forgot that she was Bai Qige and was very savage. He let go and received another crisp slap on the other cheek. This slap completely broke his patience. All kinds of emotions that he had accumulated to the point where he could hardly let go suddenly flooded into his mind and overwhelmed him. I have exhausted all my strength but can't find a place to vent it. I feel so depressed that I want to go crazy.
She always showed him his true colors easily
Those two slaps seemed to be exerted with all the strength, but there was no pain. The soft fingertips were gently rubbing the palm prints and fingerprints left by Yao Huang. Bai Qige, who had raised her arms to slap people a moment ago, suddenly became gentle: "I will give you a night to calm down, and then we will think about it in the long term." If you are still angry and can't find your direction, I will keep beating you until you wake up. Of course I will stay with you."
Covering the back of the cold hand with a big palm, Yi Chenjing closed her eyes and breathed deeply, feeling the scent that belonged exclusively to Bai Qige.
Be calm like her, no matter what situation you are in, don’t give up and tenaciously look for the glimmer of hope.
Thinking like this, the anger that was buzzing in my mind seemed to be dispelled. Within a moment, most of it disappeared and was locked back to the deepest part of my heart.
Opening his eyes, the scarred face was facing him quietly more clearly than ever before. Yi Chenjing took a long breath and hugged her thin body tightly. Relying on the familiar breath, the temperature restored her exhausted body and mind.
"This is nothing but a slap in the face and a sweet date."
"It depends on how you behave." Bai Qige raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly, "If you are still confused after I slapped you, I will slap it out again even if the sweet dates are in your mouth."
