This is the truth that Yi Chenjing is secretly pursuing, and it is also the source of Bai Qige's suffering. If possible, Bai Qige wishes she could easily answer him with just two words.
Just tell him that she had nothing to do with Hong Xiao's death, and all the torture will end.
If he believes it.
"Tell me, is it you..." The smell of alcohol hit her face, and her heavy head suddenly rested on Bai Qige's shoulder. Her murmurs became smaller and smaller, and she couldn't hear a word clearly. Without questioning or being harsh, Yi Chenjing just
Like a child who is at a loss after losing his beloved treasure, he seems to want to transfer all his tolerance and burden to others, so that he will not suffer.
Bai Qige stood quietly, listening to the warm cheeks of the man who was more than a head taller than her, and the deep call to another woman.
But I couldn't say those two words.
"You're drunk." She whispered softly, but she couldn't bear to push away the hands in front of her. Bai Qige didn't know whether it was because of the subconscious reaction preserved by this body or her own mind. In short, the situation in front of her was so fragile that she was vulnerable to a blow.
Yi Chenjing seemed to be separated from the person she was tired of. One made her want to escape, while the other made her feel pity and sadness.
The prince and general who was so arrogant could have soared into the sky and tried his sword in the world, but because of his innocent life experience and an unforgettable relationship, he had to distort himself. Bai Qige had no doubt that he must have believed in Xiao Yingge just like this - he believed in her.
I have never hurt Hong Xiao, and I believe she is not a femme fatale.
Otherwise, he wouldn't hold her so tightly.
"Let go, I'll take you back." Bai Qige hid her face and panted warmly, pushed away the hands entwined at her waist, took a step back, "If I had known that your wine taste was so bad, I wouldn't know what to say.
If you drink those few drinks, you are just asking for trouble."
Seeing Yi Chenjing at the birthday banquet, she didn't hesitate to take a sip. Bai Qige thought he had a good drinker. She originally planned to drink two more glasses to let him know that she was not afraid of strong drinks. Unexpectedly, this guy was completely unexpected.
Unexpectedly, he started to get drunk not long after walking out of the imperial garden. Thinking about Bai Qige, he actually wanted to laugh. Yi Chenjing, who looked invulnerable to all poisons, actually had a weak side. This was a good way to stimulate him.
The wine at the banquet was indeed a bit overbearing. At first, it was just refreshing and sweet, but soon it started to become more alcoholic. Even Bai Qige, who had a good drinker, couldn't stop her body from getting hot. Fortunately, Yi Chenjing was not overly drunk.
Behavior, let Bai Qige carry her thin body as she drunkenly moved to Lianchenxuan.
After walking about half the distance, the lights of Lianchenxuan in the distance were faintly visible, and Bai Qige suddenly stopped.
"Come out, you're so sneaky, you can't see anyone?" The corner of his eye flickered coldly to the side. It was pitch dark behind the rockery that was two people high, but his keen intuition told Bai Qige that there was someone behind there.
After a moment of silence, there was finally some noise, and a black shadow turned out from behind the rockery. It seemed that the pace was not nervous because of being discovered. Only when Bai Qige got closer did she see clearly, the man was dressed in dark clothes, with three exquisite daggers around his waist.
He is eye-catching, his steady steps and restrained aura all show that he is a man with excellent kung fu.
The man glanced at Bai Qige, his eyes full of vigilance, and then wordlessly extended his hand to the drunk Yi Chenjing.
There was a crisp sound, and the calloused hand was slapped away hard.
"You are the one who has been following me lately? Who sent you here?" Bai Qige changed her soft and silent image in front of outsiders. She spoke sharply and stood sideways between Yi Chenjing and the man in the best clothes.
Yi Chenjing is now drunk and defenseless. It is too easy to kill him. Not to mention a highly skilled assassin, even Bai Qige, who has no strength to restrain a chicken, can easily kill him. However, Bai Qige can easily kill him.
She chose to protect him, the person she was most familiar with in the Yaoguo Palace and the person who least wanted her to die.
If Yi Chenjing died, it would be of no benefit to her.
The man seemed a little surprised, and retracted his hand in mid-air awkwardly: "Princess Qi'an misunderstood, I am the guard of Zhanting under the Seventh Prince. Just now I saw that Mrs. Suyan and Mrs. Surao returned to Lianchenxuan first, because they were worried about Your Highness.
I came all the way because something happened, I didn’t mean to follow him intentionally.”
"Zhan Ting?" Bai Qige was dubious and quietly reached out to push Yi Chenjing, but the latter didn't respond at all.
"Your Highness has a poor drinking tolerance. He will get drunk when encountering strong liquor. Every time the emperor comes back from a banquet, he always looks like this." Shaking his head helplessly, Zhan Ting took out a fingertip-sized bottle from his sleeve.
The celadon medicine bottle was handed over, "This is a hangover medicine. His Highness ordered it to be prepared in advance."
Taking the medicine bottle with one hand and opening it, the smell of kudzu flowers hit my nostrils. It was undoubtedly a hangover medicine.
Yi Chenjing was so drunk that he was unconscious. If the villain was really evil, he could be dealt with with one blow. There was no need for such roundabout ways. Besides, Zhan Ting looked sincere and honest, and he didn't look like a bad person. Bai Qige nodded, and Zhan Ting hurriedly stepped forward to help him stand up.
Yi Chenjing was held steady on his shoulder and smiled gratefully at Bai Qige.
Carrying the weight of an adult man, he can still walk on the ground, which shows that his martial arts skills are excellent. Bai Qige suddenly thought: "Do you usually protect him secretly?"
"Most of the time." Zhan Ting responded, his expression as usual.
"In that case, you should know that someone is following and monitoring him. Who knows?"
The discovery of his whereabouts just now was enough to surprise Zhan Ting. Bai Qige's question once again surprised him, with a probing tone in his tone: "Has Your Highness told you?"
"I have eyes and ears, so I don't need him to tell me everything." Looking at the straight and quiet road ahead, Bai Qige lowered her voice and looked a little sad, "Is he the person sent by the fifth prince?"
Zhan Ting pretended not to hear and refused to answer, but suddenly accelerated his speed and gave the answer.
Sure enough, it was him, Yi Chenxuan.
Bai Qige took a deep breath and held it in her chest, which made her chest hurt and her heart felt chilly. It was as if the rare clear sky had been stained with clouds, and no more sunshine could be seen.
When she was tied to a well in the pouring rain and almost froze to death, it was the warmth from Yi Chenxuan's body that saved her; when she was treated like a plaything at the banquet, it was Yi Chenxuan who clumsily and in vain blocked the drink for her; when she was attacked late at night, she almost died
She lost her virginity, and Yi Chenxuan took her away from the cold house of Lianchenxuan regardless of her identity, giving her a peaceful time that she would never forget...
It would be great if those words and gentle hug were sincere. Even if she couldn't accept it, even if she had to refuse, at least she wouldn't be lonely and suffering anymore. In a cold foreign country, she only wanted someone who treated her sincerely.
She will also be tired and scared, and she will also want to find someone to lean on and absorb a little warmth because of the pain in her body and heart.
However, the only hope was shattered. Under the cruel reality, she was still alone, trying her best to survive amid countless conspiracies, overt and covert fights, and no one would ever come to cherish her and protect her.
"Princess Qi'an?" The steps of the woman beside him became slower and slower, and Zhan Ting turned around in confusion.
"I will live." Bai Qige suddenly spoke, her eyes filled with coldness, firmness, and perhaps a bit of stubbornness. Every word was pronounced clearly, "Live well and live for each of you."
look!"
She has not made any mistakes, at least she has not harmed any innocent people or done anything wrong in this body. Why should everyone hate her and exclude her? Why should the family members who are the best to her win because of her?
Sin? I hate deception and injustice, and the second life God gave her seemed to be just a joke. Countless injustices and deceptions all fell on her, weighing her down until she couldn't breathe, but she didn't even have the right to die.
No.
She must not compromise, she must live, and prove to all those who bully her and look down on her that she, Bai Qige, is not a waste to be slaughtered!
"I control my own life."
A whisper that sounded like a sigh or talking to himself reached his ears. In the night, Zhan Ting watched in ecstasy as the ugly face of the woman beside him was filled with arrogance. Her inviolable and peerless elegance was no less than that of a daughter of an official or a noble woman.
Concubines are even more powerful and domineering than many men.
What kind of existence will this unusual woman become in the war-torn times?
Zhan Ting couldn't guess, he just felt extremely excited.
It was already noon on the second day when Yi Chenjing woke up. Her eyes were dry, she had a splitting headache, and her internal organs were unbearably hot.
"The lotus seed porridge cooked by Sister Suyan is a bit cold, so it's okay to drink." The elegant figure at the table handed over the bowl and spoon, her tone was dull. Yi Chenjing frowned and raised her head, the ugly scar did not change at all, but Bai Qige gave it to her.
He always felt a little different.
"Who sent me back last night?"
"Zhan Ting and me."
The understatement didn't mean to ask for credit at all, but it was very unpleasant to Yi Chenjing's ears. A trace of anger came to his eyebrows: "Have you met Zhan Ting?"
"You are tall and drunk, do you expect me to carry you back alone?" Bai Qige sneered, "Besides, you yourself ordered Zhan Ting to prepare hangover medicine for emergencies. Why are you losing your temper for no reason at this moment? How much alcohol do you have?
If you're not good, don't imitate other people's drinking habits and lose your face."
It was Yi Chenjing's personal order to let Zhan Ting follow him secretly. Seeing that his master was drunk and still didn't show up on the roadside, it really couldn't be justified. He knew in his heart that no one else was to blame for this matter. No matter how angry he was, he could only swallow it in his belly. Suffocate his anger.
Looking around, there was no one else in the room except Bai Qige. She rubbed her forehead and pondered for a moment, then Yi Chenjing suddenly asked: "Did I say something?"
"Yes, you asked me whether Hong Xiao's death has anything to do with me."
Taking a breath, Yi Chenjing's face was uncertain: "What's your answer?"
Putting down the porcelain bowl in her hand, Bai Qige sat at the table and faced Yi Chenjing. She poured herself a cup of tea calmly and stared at the tea leaves churning in the boiling water for a long time.
"I have no idea."
The same answer as always, nothing changed.
Silence spread in the sun-filled room, and when it could no longer be suppressed, Bai Qige chose to get up and leave.
She longs to be freed from Yi Chenjing's restraint and torture, but she doesn't want to lie - the lie will be exposed sooner or later. Then, Yi Chenjing, who revealed his true feelings last night, will never see her again, and she will never let him believe it again.
own qualifications.
Instead of using lies to exchange for temporary stability, it is better to be honest with each other and never have anything to do with each other again.
"Qi Ge."
The moment he closed the door, Yi Chenjing suddenly spoke. Although his voice was low, it was enough for Bai Qige to hear him clearly. It was the first time in Bai Qige's memory that he called him that.
