The fifth prince, Yi Chenxuan, can be regarded as Emperor Yao's favorite prince besides the crown prince. He is naturally handsome and has a gentle temperament. He is very popular both inside and outside the court. He is also courteous and caring to his more than ten brothers. He can be said to be a prince.
An example, if an ordinary woman had the blessing of Bai Qige and was held in Yi Chenxuan's arms, she would burn three pillars of incense.
However, Bai Qige had nothing else to think about except gratitude.
She understood her current situation very well. She had defeated the princess in marriage from her subject country and was marrying a sinner. Yi Chenjing had ulterior motives in taking her all the way back to the distant country. It was not because of how attractive she was. Correspondingly, someone like Yi Chenxuan
The possibility of a nearly perfect man being attracted to an ugly girl is extremely slim.
"Lianchenxuan usually has fewer guards, but I didn't expect those hard laborers to be bold enough to break in without permission with nefarious intentions. I think you will rest here before seventh brother comes back."
Yi Chenxuan took Bai Qige to the distant hall where he lived and settled down. He ordered his servants to make a few simple side dishes and bring them to him. He stayed with her in the room until the third watch and never left.
"What happened tonight was just an accident. His Highness Yi...is going to be back in the next few days. It would be better for me to go back to Lianchenxuan tomorrow morning." Bai Qige sincerely thanked Yi Chenxuan, but had no intention of waiting here for Yi Chenjing to come.
Looking for her, the conflict between the two is already deep. Unnecessary hidden dangers like this can be avoided if possible.
"Princess Qi'an, you don't have to be polite. I told you before that since you married to the distant country, we are one family. I knew that my seventh brother didn't treat you very well, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. We need to have a good talk when he comes back."
Yi Chenxuan frowned, unable to hide his worries when facing Bai Qige, "I heard from Concubine Jing that you have known each other since the Zhao Kingdom, how could it have come to this?"
If she knew the reason, she wouldn't have to be so embarrassed. Bai Qige shook her head and said in a calm tone: "It's just a misunderstanding. I don't want to bother the fifth prince."
It was obvious that Yi Chenxuan wanted to be perfunctory, so he didn't want to ask any more questions. After telling him to go to bed early and be careful about catching cold, he closed the door and left. Before leaving, he didn't forget to call two maids to wait outside the door at any time.
Such careful men are rare, especially in ancient times when men were superior to women. It is rare to be able to take care of lowly women in every possible way. Having just experienced a thrilling fight, Bai Qige naturally couldn't fall asleep quickly. She turned off the lights and lay quietly on the bed.
It's full of comparisons between the two brothers.
Yi Chenjing was very kind to everyone, but he looked coldly at her and almost wanted to kill her. Yi Chenxuan was not kind to his servants, but he only wanted her to protect her to the best of his ability. These two people had a close relationship with her.
Completely opposite to the coldness and warmth of closeness, Bai Qige couldn't help but imagine how great it would be if the person she married was the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan.
As for Yi Chenjing...
Maybe he wasn't as unbearable as she thought, but the painful memories of the past made Bai Qige wary and alienated from the name Yi Chenjing, and she couldn't get close to him no matter what.
The quiet life always passed quickly. During the day, there were people who took good care of her. When Yi Chenxuan had nothing to do, he would often come to see her and talk about trivial matters. Before he knew it, the five days passed by like a fleeting moment, slipping through his fingers in an instant. Short
In just five days, Bai Qige deeply felt how wonderful it is to have someone caring and caring for her.
In the past, when she wanted to be independent and strong, many of the male classmates and colleagues she pursued so hard were rejected. A good face and excellent grades became an elusive dream for many people. But now, when she realizes that she can be loved by someone gentle
When taking care of such happiness, the most proud face is no longer there.
What kind of happiness are you still looking forward to? It’s already rare to live a plain and ordinary life.
Then came the reunion that I knew was coming sooner or later, and the reunion with Yi Chenjing that I didn't expect at all after being apart for more than half a month.
Without any explanation or greeting, not even a direct look, the seventh prince of Yaoguo, who was very gentle to everyone, had no expression on his face, and roughly pulled Bai Qige towards Lianchenxuan as if he was dragging an animal in his hand.
Seeing the cold look on Zhang Qingjun's face, Bai Qige's heart suddenly sank.
Yi Chenxuan, who came after hearing the news, stopped him halfway, his brows about to knit into knots: "Seventh brother, if you have something to say, please speak it carefully. After all, she -"
"This is my family matter. It seems that fifth brother should not interfere." She coldly interrupted the fifth prince's speech. Yi Chenjing continued walking towards Lianchenxuan without stopping for a moment. Yi Chenxuan was speechless and wanted to reach out and hold him.
Bai Qige was gently pushed away.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Fifth Prince. Please don't ask any more questions about this matter."
Hatred is as deep as the sea. Yi Chenxuan's good intentions cannot save her from fire and water, but will in fact cause her to be burned. Those eyes that turned into frost and snow completely shattered Bai Qige's last hope. Since the resentment between Yi Chenjing and Yi Chenjing cannot be eliminated, then
At least stop hurting others, especially those who are kind to her.
Looking at the two figures in the distance, the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan, who was standing on the same spot, let out a long sigh, frowned and unfurled in the blink of an eye: "Love and hate have equal destructive power. Seventh brother, if we talk about Princess Hongxiao,
It's a grace given to you by God, so Bai Qige is my treasure. I really want to see with my own eyes how you will deal with her?"
There was a frivolous smile at the corner of his mouth, he was tall and tall, and no one saw his deep eyes.
Rushing back to Lianchenxuan from outside the palace, Yi Chenjing learned that Bai Qige had been taken away by the fifth prince. Without saying a word, Yi Chenjing turned around and ran to the Yaohe Palace, which made Concubine Jing and Suyan and Surao very uneasy.
It was surprising to suddenly say that he was going to do something outside the palace and leave in a hurry. Now he came back with a violent look and rushed to the fifth prince angrily. Concubine Jing couldn't help but worry that he would conflict with Yi Chenxuan, who was most favored by Emperor Yao.
Lianchenxuan's status in the harem was extremely low. Although Yi Chenjing had military exploits, he was still inferior to the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan and Concubine De, who were both mother and son. Even the slightest mistake could be used by people with evil intentions to persecute their mother and son.
Take ten thousand steps back, even if there is no conflict with the fifth prince, then what is the reason for Yi Chenjing's recent strange behavior? It seems that since Princess Qi'an Bai Qige came to Yaoguo, her son has become unreasonable, and every move seems to be crazy.
Concubine Jing's worries came true, Yi Chenjing appeared in Lianchenxuan again, followed by Princess Qi'an, Bai Qige, who claimed to follow him out of the palace but was forcibly taken away by the fifth prince in the night.
"Jing'er! Don't let go yet!"
The always kind-hearted concubine saw Bai Qige being dragged until her clothes were scattered, and she shouted angrily. Yi Chenjing just stopped for a moment, and her voice was almost inaudible: "Mother, there are some things I have been hiding from you, but today
I have to reveal the facts. It’s very painful to hide this matter in my heart. I don’t want to hide it any longer - I will tell you everything."
Concubine Jing's tired look made her both angry and distressed. Her love for her own flesh and blood finally outweighed her pity for Bai Qige's torture. She sighed quietly, watching the thin Bai Qige being roughly dragged into the memorial hall, her already pale face
gloomy.
The memorial hall enshrines the memorial tablets of ancestors and relatives from past dynasties. Bai Qige didn't understand why Yi Chenjing brought her here until a piece of white cloth on the far side was lifted.
It's still a spiritual place, with vermilion and black characters, which stings the eyes.
The red gauze memorial tablet of my beloved wife.
Is this what Yi Chenjing feels sore about? They were childhood sweethearts who stayed together for ten years and waited for two years, but in the end, heaven and man are separated between Yin and Yang forever. They don’t even dare to display their spiritual places in public, so they can only hide them secretly.
, I miss you miserably when there is no one around, and I am heartbroken.
His infatuation and perseverance ended up in a lonely and empty life.
"Bai Qige, you asked me to find out the truth on purpose, right?" The hollow voice was ruthless and indifferent. The tightly held wrist was suddenly released, and the warmth from the broad palm quickly dissipated. Yi Chenjing did not turn around, but quietly took the
He held the spiritual position between his eyebrows: "You are right. The widower who did the autopsy for Hongxiao told me a lot of things that I didn't know before. After listening to it, I discovered that you are more vicious than I thought."
Was it really Bai Qige himself who killed Hongxiao?
She felt a dull pain in her chest from holding in her breath. Bai Qige's lips and tongue were dry and she didn't know how to ask.
Yi Chenjing had long believed that Hongxiao's death was caused by her, and that was the worst possible outcome? However, according to his words, there seemed to be a more heinous truth hidden in it, and the culprit was her, the same childhood sweetheart of the Bai family.
Third Miss, Bai Qige.
Her pale lips pursed for a long time before she uttered a sentence: "Hong Hao...what happened?"
"How dare you ask me!"
Suddenly, the cold and solemn figure turned around manically, raised his hand high, and slapped Bai Qige hard on the pale cheek, causing large redness and swelling to appear immediately.
It hurts, it hurts like a burning pain.
"I'm asking you, what happened in Hongxiao at that time?" There was no noise or crying. Bai Qige just looked at Yi Chenjing calmly, without resentment or hatred, as if she was not the one who was beaten.
Even if he beats her to death, she still has to find out the truth. Bai Qige doesn't want Chaos Chaos to accept this body and the grudges placed on it. She must die clearly.
While talking, Concubine Jing was also helped down to the memorial hall by Suyan Surao. Seeing the clear fingerprints on Bai Qige's face, her heart palpitated. She knew very well what kind of temperament she had of her own flesh and blood. Even though she had been humiliated for ten years as a hostage, Yi Chenjing's upright nature
It has never changed. What is certain is that this is the first time he has hit a woman, and the person he hit is Bai Qige, Xiao Yingge who once risked her life to block the knife for him.
Yi Chenjing also saw Concubine Jing coming in, but she answered with hatred and had no intention of stopping. Her cold eyes were fixed on the woman who hated her to the core.
"Hongxiao died inexplicably, but you told everyone that she slipped and drowned." Yi Chenjing stretched out her hand and tightly strangled Bai Qige's neck. Yi Chenjing increased her strength little by little, her eyes filled with bloodshot eyes, "Then explain to me why she drowned."
There were so many wounds on her body? Why was she only wearing a tattered middle coat when the body was recovered? Why, being familiar with water, did you refuse to save her when you saw her drowning? Why..."
The words were choked and interrupted, and the thin lips were pursed tightly.
Being so close, Bai Qige could clearly see the moisture in Yi Chenjing's eyes. Endless pain filled her eyes and could no longer be concealed. It was released overwhelmingly like a flood.
There are so many reasons that cannot be answered. The truth has long since disappeared with Bai Qige herself. Now she has done everything she can, but the fact is that human power cannot change it.
Close your eyes and raise your head slightly, you will see the hideous scars and the remaining face as calm as water.
"Don't take action against the Bai family. This life is up to you."
