Bai Qige was frowning in deep thought. She was suddenly startled by Yi Chenjing's sudden question. She turned around and looked at her questioningly.
"Su Jinyan's brothers look almost exactly the same." He glanced at the sleeping concubine Bai Qige and lowered his voice, "But this person is different from Su Jinyan. Sister Suyan should be fine with him."
Yi Chenjing frowned slightly: "Have you seen him"[
"Su Jinyan once chased me when I went to the Huoluohe Khanate to escape with Xiaoyu. Thanks to Su Buqi for saving me, otherwise General Xiao and I would have died long ago. And earlier, I told you that Su Jinyan was at school. Thinking about it later, I think it was Su Buqi who saved me in the military field. He saved me more than once or twice, so he is definitely not an enemy."
Bai Qige originally wanted to prove that Su Buqi was a good person and asked Yi Chenjing not to worry too much. Su Yan didn't expect that Yi Chenjing didn't care about this issue at all. He stumped her as soon as he opened his mouth: "Why did he save you again and again? What's his premeditated plan?" And you told me about Su Jinyan’s pursuit of you, but why didn’t you mention that there was someone like Su Buqi?”
The questions were all so pointed that Bai Qige was speechless and didn't know where to start from.
She did have something wrong with this matter. Considering that Yi Chenjing was sensitive and suspicious, Su Buqi also had the same blue eyes and snow-skinned skin as Ning Xizui. In order to prevent him from being careless and even implicating Ning Xizui, Bai Qige put her acquaintance with Su Buqi. The matter was cleverly concealed. Su Buqi's appearance was very rare and the relationship was not deep. It was inevitable that the incident would be forgotten over time, so it was only because of his negligence during the conversation with Yu Che just now that Yi Chenjing noticed it. By the time Bai Qige realized it, it was already too late. Inevitably, Yi Chenjing began to fall into suspicion again
"I have something to ask you when I go back to the room." Regardless of the fact that there were outsiders in front of him, Yi Chenjing grabbed Bai Qige's wrist and walked out of the house with a rather cold tone.
"Yu Che finds someone to send Jin Zhaoyi back to rest. Take good care of Concubine Jing and be in time if anything happens..." Before she could finish her sentence, she was dragged out of the room. Bai Qige was somewhat annoyed and suddenly broke away from Yi Chenjing's grasp: "If you are finished and have something to say, why don't you say it properly? You have to keep a calm face and let everyone know that you are unhappy. Even a stranger will doubt you. How can you be so open-minded and tolerant to the world?"
"Is this the first day you've met me? You knew I was suspicious and you kept it from me. Besides complaining, could you please consider my feelings?"
Yi Chenjing stopped and stood still. It was dark and dark, and he could not see his expression clearly. He could tell by his voice that he was very angry. Bai Qige looked around and saw that no one was around, lowered the volume, and directed Yi Chenjing to the study: "Go back to your room, don't embarrass yourself outside."
It was late at night and heavy with frost and dew. The dampness and coldness of late autumn penetrated through the clothes and penetrated into the seams of the bones. Yi Chenjing snorted angrily but did not refuse. He stood behind him and thought of the long walk before returning to the study. He took off his clothes very naturally. The coat was casually draped on Bai Qige's back
Arguing is just a matter of quarreling and pampering Bai Qige. This has long been his habit and he can't change it.
The study has not been used for a long time. Although the maids and eunuchs cleaned it in a timely manner so as not to dust, the temperature is still cold in late autumn. There is a difference between the temperature inside the room and the outside. Yi Chenjing carefully closed the door and gave Bai Qige the deer fur cloak that was draped on the chair. Then he sat down safely on the chair and pretended to be calm and looked up at Bai Qige: "No one is allowed to get angry if it's reasonable."
"Take care of your sour temper and everything will be fine"
It was a fact that he had a bad temper. Yi Chenjing was too lazy to argue and just pretended not to hear anything and said without comment: "Tell me what happened to Su Buqi."
"As I said, Su Buqi is Su Jinyan's sibling. From the outside, it's impossible to tell who is who. At first, I thought it was Su Jinyan twice when I saw him. That's when I became confused about Su Jinyan's contradictory behavior." Bai Qige hugged her cloak. Sitting aside, I carefully recalled every detail related to Su Buqi: "On the military field's northern expedition, when I took Xiaoyu to escape, he saved me three times in total. It was also the last time that I realized that he and Su Jinyan were not the same person. They were talking very cryptically in front of us, so I am still not sure whether they are serving the same master, but I can be sure that Su Buqi has no ill intentions towards us. Sister Suyan should be safe."
"I'm not worried about Suyan. She is gentle and too kind. Unless someone is a treacherous and evil person, she will never hurt a weak woman like her. Besides, although she is not as smart as you, she still understands how to protect herself in danger. I hope she can take this opportunity to leave the palace as far away as possible, and preferably never come back again."
This is his hope for Su Yan. Bai Qige held her chin up and looked at Yi Chenjing's lips with a curve that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
Among the clean people in the palace, there are only a few concubines who talk sweetly to each other. The palace ladies and eunuchs trample on each other and fight for position. Only Su Yan is an unexpectedly pure being who is gentle and kind. He is devoted to Yi Chenjing and does his best to Concubine Jing. He is also considerate and caring to her. Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing both wanted Suyan to have a happy home. If Yi Chenjing was not her lover, then at least she had to find one. A person who can treat her sincerely is just a small amount of compensation from the two of them.
Bai Qige's weird expression made Yi Chenjing feel uncomfortable: "Look at what I'm doing, didn't you tell me not to have other women?"
"I was thinking that if there was a man who could really treat Sister Suyan with his heart, would she refuse to leave because she is in love with you?"[
"I am not infatuated with Suyan." Unexpectedly, Yi Chenjing answered carefully and seriously. "From the time I found the two sisters and brought them into the palace, she has always treated me as a benefactor rather than a husband. Unlike you, she treats me as my lifelong companion. The rule of life is that if my mother asked her to be my concubine, she would do it. If I asked her to leave, she would simply leave. In Lianchenxuan for so many years, she has always regarded herself as a servant instead of a master. It is also to repay the kindness. That is why I don't I am willing to be with her...Suyan is a good woman, even if we are husband and wife, I will not let anyone hurt her. Naturally, I also hope that she can find a good family and live the rest of her life peacefully."
In other words, Suyan doesn't love Yi Chenjing but just obeys the order and becomes his side wife?
I always feel...very sad
Most of the cloak fell off her hands, but Bai Qige was sitting in a chair, lost in thought. Suddenly she thought of what Ou Suiliang said to her. Perhaps in the eyes of people in this time and space, women are the only virtue. A woman who plays power and interferes in military affairs will of course be hated by others. No wonder Ou Suiliang would give her those four words so that she could take care of herself
But how could she stop when she has come to this point?
Because of her, the Zhao Kingdom was reduced to a vassal state and was in ruins in the storm. The Bai family was at the forefront of the storm. The man she loved was talented but was squeezed out by the injustice of the world. The man she hated to the bone was the biggest winner at the moment... She doesn't want to let go, she can't let go, and goes upstream to rewrite destiny. This is her nature.
A warmth felt on her back and she regained consciousness. Looking up, Yi Chenjing picked up the cloak and gently covered her with it.
"When you're tired, go to sleep. I'm just angry for a moment about Su Buqi, and I'm not really angry at you." Yi Chenjing held her thin face and planted a kiss between her eyebrows, sighing, "You know what happened today makes me very unhappy." Shun Xin, just think I'm crazy and I'll apologize to you another day when you feel better."
Bai Qige raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I knew you were unhappy, so I was extra tolerant and listened to your complaints, otherwise I would have turned around and left long ago."
Think about it, when did she have to endure hardships and be as stubborn as a cow and as hard as a rock? She was never as coquettish and submissive as ordinary women. It was precisely because she was so different that she came into his heart. Yi Chen Jingnai shook her head and said: I stood up and sighed again.
At this time, he should say some tender words to the girl. However, with the heavy pressure on his shoulders, even if he has the opportunity, he is in a bad mood.
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Qige stood up and stood behind Yi Chenjing, untied her cloak and put it half on him: "How can you give me time to rest? No one can rest assured if you look like this."
"Who else cares about me in this world? You and my mother are the only ones."
"You may be unhappy if I say something, but I have to say it." Bai Qige leaned lightly on Yi Chenjing's broad back and hooked his warm fingers. "Actually, things are not as dark as you think. The world is hot and cold. You only see the cold side." But you ignored the warmth. You said that only Concubine Jing and I care about your sister Suyan, General Xiao, General Ou, and Zhan Ting. They are nothing, including the emperor. Thinking about it afterwards, I always feel that a person with his far-reaching plans will not make such a move. It’s a ridiculous decision. It’s better for us to wait. If the emperor really deposes the eldest prince and makes Yi Chenxuan the prince, then it won’t be too late for us to make a decision.”
"What decision should I make?" Yi Chenjing frowned, with a vague feeling of bad premonition in her heart, and turned to face Bai Qige. The smooth lines on her cheeks looked a little gloomy under the candlelight: "Are you trying to persuade me to put aside my grudges with Yi Chenxuan and accept the title of king?" Living in a remote place depressed for the rest of my life, I still hope that I will disobey my father's orders and have a palace coup to usurp the throne. It's impossible for me to do that kind of thing. My mother is still here. How do you want me to face her? It's been so many years, my mother has said to my father. The emperor's friendship has always been the same. Even if I say that my father is not my father, she will be heartbroken. How can I bear to tell her that I have committed such a treasonous thing as killing my father and the emperor?"
Bai Qige was stunned for a long time and suddenly started laughing.
"What are you thinking in your mind? How could I encourage you to kill the emperor's concubine? Regardless, the eyes of the world alone are enough to seal this road. Chen Jing, remember, as long as you kill your father and kill your king to win the throne. Then no matter how wise and great an emperor you become in the future, what will be left in the annals of history will never be words of praise for you." Bai Qige's heart became heavier when she thought of those emperors in the history books who were verbally criticized by later generations.
She wanted Yi Chenjing to become the overlord of Zhongzhou, but not in this way. Later generations said that her beauty and disaster could be tolerated. After all, that was just insulting her, but the crime of killing father and king was different. It was a heinous crime that could erase all her achievements.
Yi Chenjing suddenly smiled bitterly, the light in his eyes dimmed: "It seems that I have no choice but to follow my father's will and leave it to fate, otherwise I will have to wait until my father dies before making any plans."
"Can we wait for Yi Chenxuan? Can we wait? I'm afraid that before you can entrust the land to the prince and become a prince, he will reach out with a series of vicious hands." With a shake of his shoulders, the warm deer fur cloak fell to the ground. Bai Qige bent down to pick it up. At that moment, something suddenly occurred to me, a flash of inspiration flashed, and the green-white fingertips froze in mid-air.
