Not long after Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige left, Jin Zhaoyi also returned to her palace under the protection of guards. Only Yu Che was left to take care of the concubine. After all, she was a woman and it was so quiet in the dead of night. Sitting alone in the room, it was inevitable that she would give birth to something. A little afraid, so when Yu Che heard someone knocking on the door, he hesitated before cautiously opening the door.
Immediately afterwards, I felt a pain in the back of my neck and fell unconscious.
A pair of strong arms caught the fainted Yu Che and placed him on a wide chair in the room. He reluctantly patted away the scent of makeup and powder on his hands: "Your Majesty wants to see the concubine. No one will stop her. Why bother to go to such trouble?" The imperial concubine’s ban on the cold palace has been lifted long ago, so it doesn’t matter even if someone sees her.”
"Be careful with the ship that sails ten thousand years. I deliberately made it look like I was neglecting her. There are still people with evil intentions. If it is discovered that I still care about her so much, won't I put her in danger again?" The hooded cloak that almost covered most of the face was removed. Yi Chenjing's look was similar but much older, with a hint of sadness and an eagerness that could not be concealed. Through his bright eyes, it was clear that Emperor Yao was not in a good mood at this time. He quietly sat down on the bedside and gently caressed Concubine Jing with his wrinkled palms. The face that was no longer young showed a hint of sadness in the dark eyes: "Suiliang, do you still remember when Yun'er was poisoned?"[
Ou Suiliang nodded without hesitation: "Of course I remember that at that time, the daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs was selected into the harem and promoted as a noble. Because His Majesty only doted on the concubine, he was dissatisfied and even put poison on the concubine's clothes. Fortunately, Shen Guoshi was well-informed. Guang asked the imperial doctor to prepare the antidote in time, otherwise there would be no seventh prince today."
"Yes, Yun'er was favored by me for six years and was tricked and harmed so many times that I didn't even dare to count them. But in the end, all I could give her was injustice and cold palace. Even if I want to see her now, I have to do it." Being sneaky and guarding against others... They say the emperor is good, but who knows that the emperor can do whatever he wants, but there are those fools who are in the midst of blessings and don’t know what blessings they have, and they will do whatever it takes to take my place."
It was self-evident who Yao Huang was referring to in his words. Occasionally, his conscience felt emotional. He looked at the two old but still warm figures and couldn't help but feel a little more ashamed: "The general failed to protect the concubine Jing, and now he can't tell the truth to the seventh prince. Think about it." The seventh prince's dissatisfaction has accumulated so deeply that he really doesn't know what else he can do to make up for it."
"Okay, you have followed me for so many years and you have made a lot of achievements. I have blamed you for saying many things. I don't allow you to tell outsiders. Even if you have the will and the strength," Emperor Yao held Jing Fei's hand tightly and raised it toward the door. He raised his chin and said, "Look if there is anyone else outside the door. I want to say a few words to Yun'er."
Ou Suiliang opened the door and looked around carefully to confirm the person, then stood in the corner and guarded the bedroom responsibly. In the soft candlelight, it seemed that the Emperor Dayao suddenly looked much younger and softly called the name of his beloved on his face. Full of pity and heartache, the concubine did not wake up in the end. Maybe she heard someone calling her in her dream, or maybe it was just a subconscious action. The hand held by the Emperor Yao responded with a little force to the husband who was calling her.
"Yun'er, I'm sorry for you. I just thought that you would be safe with Suiliang protecting you. I didn't expect that it would make you like this. Jing'er has returned to the palace and has lost weight. Although she hates me more and more, at least he is intact and alive to see him." It doesn't bother me much... I'm really happy." Yaohuang lowered his head and approached the old man's face with his eyes closed. He raised his fingers, not lightly but not heavily, and scratched the tip of Jing Fei's nose with a hint of teasing in his tone, "As you said. He said that Jing'er is indeed very similar to me. He is brave and stubborn. He is obviously a general who has made great contributions, but he even refuses to calm down his temper and give me a good look when facing me. But I don't blame him, but I feel more sorry than I do to you. He has made you mother and son wronged. After all these years, I still have to pretend to be indifferent, so the child deserves to hate me."
Thinking of the disappointed expression that flashed across Yi Chenjing's face when she deliberately protected her other son, Yao Huang's heart suddenly hurt and she held her chest tightly.
"Your Majesty," Ou Suiliang took a breath and hurriedly took out the medicine bottle, poured two pills, and brought them to Yaohuang's mouth. After taking the medicine, it took half an hour for Yaohuang's withered face to gradually regain a few wisps of blood. It was almost empty. Ou Suiliang, who dropped the medicine bottle, said in a low voice: "Taking too much of this medicine is good for your health. Your Majesty, you should pay attention to keeping your emotions calm. Concubine Jing has always understood your Majesty's difficulties. Sooner or later, the seventh prince will understand why your Majesty should blame himself too much."
"I understand how that child understood that what he saw was me favoring Xuan'er regardless of his life and death. What he saw was me neglecting the mother and son for so many years. What he saw was me letting him go through life and death without giving corresponding rewards..." A coughing sound alarmed him. The sleeping concubine Jing's slender eyebrows were slightly furrowed and she murmured twice. She shook Yaohuang's hand and went back to sleep peacefully. She slowed down her tone and lowered her volume. Yaohuang sighed: "Jing'er is right to blame me. I took it for granted and thought that I should tell Xuan." Who knows if he will let Jing'er go after he deposes the crown prince and helps him ascend the throne... Alas, I don't care enough about them. One of their brothers hates me for not being able to hold a bowl of water, and the other will do whatever it takes to get the throne. Regardless, in the end it’s all my fault, my fault..."
Listening to Emperor Yao sighing, Suiliang fell silent and did not speak again.
He was loyal to Emperor Yao but did not support some incomprehensible ideas and practices. For example, even if it was easy for Chen Xuan to commit fratricide, and for example, he thought that giving Yi Chenxuan a reassurance pill would make him give up the persecution of Concubine Jing, mother and son. These seemed to Ou Suiliang to be simply unreasonable. It's just ridiculous nonsense
If the human heart is dirty, it will be difficult to cleanse it. Once the desire is fulfilled, it will only become worse.
"actually"
"Suiliang, I said that there is no other way out of this matter." He seemed to have guessed what Suiliang wanted to say, and he raised his hand to interrupt the tranquility in his eyes. "My throne is mys." Isn't it because of this that I forced the entire family of the royal brother who grew up together to death? This situation is probably karma. The only thing I can do is to try my best to prevent the two brothers from following my footsteps. In the end, no matter who takes my place, it will not matter. When you are old, you have a conscience like mine." He tucked the concubine into a corner and gazed at her affectionately for a long time. The Emperor Yao suddenly spoke again: "By the way, did you tell that girl what I asked you to convey?"
"It seems normal to have no rebuttal or dissatisfaction after having said it."
Nodding thoughtfully, his eyes are always cloudy during the day, showing a shrewd and keen look. His smile is light and it is hard to tell whether it is true or false: "She is a good girl, smart and courageous. She is worthy of being a descendant of the Bai family. It's a pity that she is not suitable for Jing'er." "
But besides that girl, who else could make the Seventh Prince, who was suffering from displacement and oppression, show a sincere smile?
Ou Suiliang did not ask this question. He knew very well that even if he asked, he would not get an answer. Even if this is the most rare truth among lies and deception,
I don’t know if the mother and son were disturbed while the concubine was sleeping. Yi Chenjing, who was in the study at that time, was also suddenly restless. The heavy inkstone fell to the ground and made a loud noise, waking up Bai Qige who had just closed her eyes and took a nap [
"What's wrong?" Bai Qige jumped up from the chair as if on conditioned reflex, and quickly put her fingers on the dagger at her waist.
"Nothing happened. I just accidentally knocked off the inkstone." Looking at Bai Qige's red eyes and dark circles, Yi Chenjing felt distressed and picked her up. She couldn't help but throw him on the couch. "I want you to go back to sleep. You don't want to do this in the study." If you’re cold, don’t be afraid of being blown by the wind and getting cold. You should lie down and sleep well. Cover yourself with a cloak to keep you warm.”
Yi Chenjing was worried about Concubine Jing's illness and worried about many things. She knew she couldn't fall asleep, so she planned to chat to relieve her boredom. Bai Qige originally wanted to stay up all night with him, but she didn't know who she was after sitting in the chair for a while. She fell asleep unconsciously. She was too tired. The constant toil and running for a while had brought a lot of burden. This delicate body of a lady could not bear the heavy load. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not withstand the fatigue and sleepiness and took a nap. After a while, I felt so sleepy that even half-opening my eyes felt difficult.
After waking up, even more turbulent sleepiness came over me. I couldn't hear Yi Chenjing's care and reproach at all. My heart and mind were filled with the thought of falling asleep. Bai Qige obeyed for the first time and lay down. Her misty eyes were really pitiful. Her peaceful expression was as innocent as a child's. leisure
Yi Chenjing took a deep breath and held it for a moment before spitting out: "Usually as cold and fierce as a wild leopard, now he has turned into a docile rabbit to test me?"
Everyone said that the seventh prince of Dayao, a young general who was favored by Emperor Yao, had always been dull and ignorant of love affairs. He had two beautiful women in his family who did not know how to cherish him. He saw other women sitting in the same arms calmly and as steady as a mountain. Only he himself knew how many times. The ugly wife with a hideous scar on her face scolded her for being a slut, and she was punched and kicked three times from time to time.
Who made him fall in love with Bai Qige?
Just looking at her Ning He sleeping face will make your heart skip a beat.
The fingertips lingered with sweetness, moving along the fair face and touching lightly across the slender neck, across the thin shoulders that were not enough to hold, and suddenly stopped at the soft waist, crossing the palms to compare. Yi Chenjing's face became a little ugly. She was originally a little ugly. In the more than a year since he came to Yaoguo as a baby, he had become so thin that he was reduced to a bamboo pole. After being on the run, he was always worried that the wind would break his slender waist.
If she continues like this, she will lose weight. Yi Chenjing rubbed her forehead and raised her head with emotion.
After a moment of hesitation, Yi Chenjing turned over and ran onto the soft couch. She pulled her deer fur cloak tightly over the two of them with her broad body and hugged Bai Qige tightly. The study was cold. He was afraid that she would fall asleep and get frostbite. That's all. If she asked tomorrow Let's just explain it this way: He is not a shameless gangster, at least not to other women.
Bai Qige seems to have a magical power. Every time Yi Chenjing feels like she's going to have insomnia, she will fall asleep as soon as she is next to her. It's really weird.
Closing her eyes, the temperature in her arms has not changed day and night, as if to prove to him that some things are eternal. Yi Chenjing shrank into her cloak and wrapped her arms tighter. She hasn't touched her in so many days. It's chaotic. In confusion, Yi Chenjing asked himself, but his palms were placed on Bai Qige's back unusually honestly.
He wanted her to always think about it, as if this way he could show the intimacy between the two that was comparable to outsiders and tell everyone that Bai Qige was his and no one could take it away.
But not now. She's tired and needs a good rest.
He once loved Hong Xiao deeply and wanted to fight against her. He was a mandarin duck and lived and died together. He was even willing to destroy his childhood sweetheart for her. He also stubbornly forced Bai Qige to have sex with her. He thought that was the true love. Now he is walking side by side with Bai Qige. After many ups and downs, he suddenly found that he had become mature and no longer as paranoid about relationships as a child.
If you like someone, you should not ask for it but protect her, treat her as a treasure and love her for the rest of your life.
