Xiliang did not continue to struggle with this topic. He continued to talk about his own affairs: "After I drank Qian Ji, I realized that the person I care about most wanted to kill me with my own hands."
Bai Qiqian has also experienced being hurt by the person he cares about the most.
She understood how sad that feeling was, how painful it was, and how desperate it was.
Now, when she recalls the past, the man's figure has been blurred, but his adoptive father's resolute face is always in her mind.
Although she didn't get along with Xiliang for long, Xiliang could give her a sense of peace of mind.
Both of them fell into silence, and Xiliang couldn't help but think of that day when he drank Qianji.
Thinking of that day, he said to him: "Xiliang, from now on, we can be together. Come, drink this glass of wine and celebrate the future of the two of us."
Xiliang looked at him silently, his fingers trembling slightly.
In his eyes, the man had always shown a tolerant side, without much ups and downs of joy and anger. But now, he was holding a wine glass and looking at him with an excited expression.
Xiliang didn't think much, took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
However, when Qian Ji entered his throat, his inner breath surged wildly, and the sadness and silence in his heart was like a turbulent wave.
The man looked down at him with pity in his eyes: "Xiliang, don't blame me, don't blame me."
Xiliang took his last breath, picked up the sword in his hand, and stabbed the man. But when the man said those words to him, the sword in Xiliang's hand suddenly fell to the ground, blood surged in his breath, and finally
Unable to suppress it, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
He saw the panicked look in the man's eyes and his fleeing back.
The man said to him: "Xiliang, only if you die can I live a normal life. You know, I have always wanted to marry, have children, and carry on the family line."
Memories are the hidden wounds of old times. No matter how deeply they are hidden, they will always surface quietly in my heart.
Bai Qiqian thought for a while and then said, "Dad, do you still remember some things about the Zhou family?"
Xiliang raised his head: "I remember Miss Zhou's name, her name is Zhou Chujing."
Bai Qiqian staggered back a few steps, her eyes filled with surprise: "Mrs. Chujing?"
Madam Chujing, I didn't expect that she would be carrying such deep hatred. Then she was not by Ye Ruochen's side, but by Ye Liyuan's side. Could it be that she...
Seeing that Bai Qiqian's face was very ugly, Xiliang asked worriedly: "Daughter, what happened?"
Bai Qiqian said with difficulty: "Mrs. Chujing is one of Ye Liyuan's concubines. Dad, in my opinion, there may be some unknown secret hidden in it."
Xiliang sighed and said: "No matter what kind of secrets are hidden, dad can't stay with you anymore."
Bai Qiqian suddenly felt a little sad, and didn't know why, tears easily fell from her eyes. Xiliang's cold hand touched her cheek, and a warm smile appeared on her usually gloomy face: "Silly boy, don't
cry."
Bai Qiqian held Xiliang's hand tightly: "Dad, I will definitely find a way to save you."
If even Xiliang is gone, what will she do alone?
Suddenly feeling that he was tired from living in this world, Bai Qiqian had a tired but determined smile on his face: "I will definitely find a way, dad, don't worry, even if we die, our father and daughter will die together."
Although she didn't spend much time with Xiliang, Bai Qiqian became dependent on him.
Hearing Bai Qiqian's words, Xiliang's eyes were in a trance and in love. He looked at Bai Qiqian and whispered softly like a sigh: "Qianqian, you will grow up sooner or later. You should understand that life, separation and death are common things in this world."
She understands, of course she understands, but she just can't let go.
Xiliang raised his head and looked at the dark prison, with an unpredictable smile appearing on the corner of his mouth: "Qianqian, after you get out, help dad do something. That way, even if I die, I can rest in peace."
"Go help dad find someone and tell him that I never thought of killing him." Xiliang's heart was full of bitterness and bleeding.
Bai Qiqian moved her lips, but still didn't say another word.
The two of them stayed in silence for two days.
Sometimes she forced herself to think about certain things, and some memories were unearthed. They were pale and weak, but they reminded her that it was not impossible for her to save Xiliang.
Back then, before the late emperor passed away, he handed over an imperial edict to Princess Fuyao's father.
Later, a war broke out. Her parents both died in the war. The ancestors felt sorry for her, so they took her to Anning City and raised her.
It wasn't until three years ago that Bai Qiqian remembered that the imperial edict had always been in his hands.
She was unwilling to hand over the imperial edict to the emperor because it would hurt Ye Liyuan. Likewise, she was unwilling to hand over the imperial edict to Ye Liyuan. After all, the Empress Dowager raised her and she could not be ungrateful.
At that time, in order to marry into Ye Liyuan's palace safely, Bai Qiqian handed over the imperial edict in his hand to Ye Ruochen, and took this as a request, hoping that Ye Ruochen could say a few words to her and talk to her.
Let’s pray to our ancestors together.
It was precisely because of Ye Ruochen's help that Bai Qiqian finally obtained his ancestor's decree.
Things in the world are like chess, and the game is new.
Bai Qiqian did not expect that precisely because of his original decision, he would be able to save Xiliang's life.
Xiliang suffered serious internal injuries before he was sent to the prison. Now, in the prison cell, without medical treatment, his health is getting worse and worse.
Bai Qiqian looked at his increasingly pale face and felt pain in her heart. Finally she couldn't help but shouted to the guards in the prison: "Go quickly and call your prince over. I have something important to say to him."
.”
After hearing Bai Qiqian's order, the surrounding guards did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went to inform Ye Ruochen.
Later in the evening, Ye Ruochen came late, with a smile on his face, the cinnabar between his brows was unusually enchanting, and a fragrance emanating from his body was intoxicating. Before anyone could see Bai Qiqian, a joking voice had already sounded: "Fuyao, you
Miss me?"
Originally, he could have taken her out of the prison earlier, but he heard from the guards in the prison that Mrs. Fuyao was very quiet in the prison, neither crying nor making trouble, and was very obedient.
Ye Ruochen wanted to see how long she could last in prison.
Sure enough, within seven days, she couldn't bear it anymore, and today she finally asked the guards to go to the palace to invite him over.
Bai Qiqian squinted her eyes and said directly: "Ye Ruochen, I want to make a deal with you."
Ye Ruochen thought Bai Qiqian was joking at the moment. He looked calm and walked forward. When he saw her being imprisoned with Xiliang, the emotion on his face finally stopped being indifferent and showed a bit of panic.
Bai Qiqian saw everything with her eyes: "Ye Ruochen, I know what you need."
Ye Ruochen subconsciously kept a certain distance from Bai Qiqian, folding his hands on his chest: "Oh, tell me, what do I need?"
Bai Qiqian's smile was bright and bright. She stretched out her fingers and grabbed them in the air: "Mountains of gold and silver."
Ye Ruochen trembled and couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"
Bai Qiqian asked him: "If I can give you what you want, why do you need to know who I am?"
Ye Ruochen's eyes were cold and wary: "If I don't know who you are, how can I trust you."
Bai Qiqian stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "I am Princess Fuyao, Bai Qiqian."
Ye Ruochen didn't seem to believe it. He stared at Bai Qiqian for a long time, with complicated eyes, which seemed to be surprise, but also with a bit of suspicion and inquiry: "How can you prove that you are Fuyao?"
If Fuyao was really not dead, why didn't she go to Ye Liyuan's palace instead of entering a brothel?
If Fuyao was really still alive, why did she tell him now?
If... if Fuyao is still there, then everything is fine.
Bai Qiqian closed her eyes and said sadly: "Ruochen, the most important reason why I was able to marry Ye Liyuan was because of your help. Without you, I would not have been able to obtain the favor from my ancestors, nor would I have been able to marry him."
Less than grace.”
Ye Ruochen pursed his lips and said nothing.
Bai Qiqian slowly opened her eyes: "Of course, the reason why you will help me is because I personally handed the edict into your hands. You have mastered the imperial edict that both parties want to fight for, and you also have control over the government and the opposition."
The biggest secret in the world.”
Ye Ruochen suddenly laughed softly: "Fuyao, are you threatening me by saying this now?"
Fuyao, when did you have such a motive?
Bai Qiqian shook her head: "Ruochen, I don't want to threaten you, I just want to use another secret to make a deal with you."
Ye Ruochen smiled: "What do you want?"
Bai Qiqian pointed at Xiliang and said, "I want you to let my father go."
Ye Ruochen raised his eyebrows: "He is your father, I really can't tell."
Bai Qiqian looked at Ye Ruochen with clear black and white eyes, and she told lies without blushing or beating: "This happened a long time ago. As you know, I possess martial arts, which was taught to me by my father."
Seeing that Ye Ruochen wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, she quickly added: "My father didn't give me the internal skills because he was worried that I would cause trouble. At that time, I was young and frivolous, and was always very impulsive."
Ye Ruochen grinned: "Fuyao, since Xiliang is your father, you should know by now how important your father is to me. I have been hunting him for three years, and now I finally
If I catch him, how can I let him go so easily?"
Bai Qiqian's beautiful eyes sparkled: "I understand, so I plan to use a big secret to make a deal with you."
Ye Ruochen sneered: "Is this what you call a mountain of gold and silver?"
Bai Qiqian raised her eyes and said word by word: "Ruochen, when I handed that edict to you, I gave you a chance to rise to power."
Ye Ruochen nodded with a solemn expression: "Yes, you gave me a chance to rise to the top."
If the contents of that edict were made public, I am afraid it would cause chaos in the world.
