Compared with those delicate young ladies raised in a boudoir, Bai Qige seldom gets sick and usually does not suffer from headaches or brain fever, but this is not a good thing because such people either do not get sick and once they get sick, they become extremely fragile overnight.
The last memory before fainting was in the palace of the distant emperor. When Tao Gongzheng was talking to her about trivial matters such as going to various palaces to convey the emperor's orders, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and felt dizzy. Then her eyesight went dark and she lost consciousness. She was in a daze. She remembers someone talking, someone calling her, and someone crying in her ear. She didn't know how long she had been asleep. When she regained consciousness, she clearly felt someone beside her, holding a water-soaked silk towel and gently wiping her forehead gently and carefully.
Bai Qige couldn't see very clearly with her hazy eyes. Bai Qige raised her weak arm and grabbed her forehead. The palm was broad and warm but not delicate. It was a man's hand. The palm paused for a moment, and then the other hand came over to take the silk towel and continued to wipe it. The one stayed in Bai Qige's palm, conveying warmth and gently holding it back intentionally.
This simple action made Bai Qige feel sour[
Last time when she fell asleep in the courtyard, she mistakenly thought it was the cloak that Yi Chenjing put on her. This time, she couldn't be wrong again. The two of them had gone through the test of life and death together, and had gone through many ups and downs. How could he abandon her and ignore her? Every time she sneezed, he would greet her and nag her many times. Moreover, now that she was seriously ill and had a fever, Yi Chenjing would definitely not ignore her just because he was angry. His gentleness and his unswerving devotion until death would never change.
"Chen Jing..." The dry lips and tongue muttered the name that would bind her for a lifetime. Bai Qige closed her eyes and put her hand on the side of her face, smiling involuntarily.
That smile is so haggard and pale that it makes people feel sad.
"Miss Bai, you're finally awake." Her gentle voice sounded as clear as jade.
The smile suddenly froze
All the strength she had finally accumulated was released. She let go and the temperature in her palms changed from hot to cool, and her heart gradually cooled down. Those gentle hands did not leave because of her giving up. They were still gently wiping the fine beads of sweat to measure the heat on her forehead with the back of her hands.
"It's still a little hot, but it's much better than before." The wet silk towel was removed and the dry white cloth was wiped dry. The familiar voice, carrying the strong aroma of wine, was as calm as ever: "Seeing that your fever persists, I asked my adoptive father if he had any home remedies. He said yes. Wiping with strong alcohol is most effective. It's not convenient for me as a grown man, so I can simply wipe my forehead and palms. Your maid is busy with Mrs. Suyan again, waiting for her to come back before she can wipe your body."
"Master Ning...why are you here..." Bai Qige opened her eyes and was still hazy and couldn't see the person clearly, but the voice was indeed Ning Xizui's.
"I came here to deliver something to His Highness the Crown Prince. I heard something happened in Lianchenxuan in the East Palace. I wanted to come over and see what happened, but I couldn't leave." Ning Xizui sighed with emotion and smiled bitterly, "It's really hard for Miss Yu Che to take care of you as well as you." Mrs. Suyan, I saw that she was so tired that she almost fell asleep standing next to your bed. After thinking about it, there was nothing I could do to help, so I had to temporarily act as a substitute to take care of you for her."
There are still a few people in Lianchenxuan today who can be trusted. In the chaos, Yu Che can only work harder. Bai Qige sighed almost inaudibly and hesitated for a moment before asking: "Chen Jing... isn't there?"
"Your stingy husband hasn't shown up all day. I heard from my servants that he was busy looking for people everywhere in the palace. Miss Bai was afraid that he would be worried and didn't tell him about his illness. If he knew about it, he would not care about anything and ran back to rob her. My chance," Ning Xizui sighed half-jokingly.
Ning Xizui has been here all day. It can be seen that she has been asleep for a long time. Bai Qige's easy-going joke method makes her feel a little happy. Gradually, her eyes clear and she looks at the man sitting quietly beside the bed. She smiles gratefully to herself, but she also knows that the smile must be ugly and forced.
He hasn't shown his face all day... How angry he was with her because of Jing Fei
Dazed and stunned, the warm palms covered his eyes, with a smell more familiar than the fragrance of wine: "Miss Bai, who has passed the time, must blame herself. It's not your fault, it's just that you're too tired."
She has gone through so many twists and turns and has never been afraid of crying. But this sentence made Bai Qige feel sour and almost shed tears.
She is not afraid of pain or being hurt, but she cannot accept being wronged. Maybe in the eyes of others, she has an unshakable responsibility for the disappearance of the concubine, but Bai Qige knows it very well, but she is right, she is really right, she is also a human being, she is just too tired and can't control it. After sleeping for a while, why didn't anyone forgive her? Why did Yi Chenjing insist on blaming her for not caring about Concubine Jing and not even wanting to look at her again?
He had no idea that she was under tremendous pressure under Yaohuang's pressure. The pressure made her breathless and almost consumed all her energy just to be with him.
When she was at her most tired and painful, Yi Chenjing chose to remain silent and avoid the man in front of her who met by chance but was willing to help her several times regardless of repayment. He would never leave her, and she didn't blame her. Ning Xizui was the only one left in the world who would treat her. He still smiles when he says "You're right" and that won't change no matter what time.
"I will never be able to fall in love with Mr. Ning in my lifetime..." [
The whispers were heard very clearly in the silent room. Ning Xizui just smiled and wiped away a tear falling on his pale cheek with smooth fingertips. There was a trace of gloom hidden under the quiet smile.
"Ning's intentions may not be as pure as Miss Bai thinks."
"Sister Bai is awake." Fu Chu's voice of surprise suddenly came from the outer room. Ning Xizui cut off the conversation and stood up to open the door. Bai Qige didn't finish the half sentence because she was absent-minded and didn't pay much attention to it. Fu Chu hurried to the bedside to see Bai Qige, although her face was bloody. But he had already woken up and couldn't help but sigh: "It's Boss Ning's native method that worked and brought the fever down so quickly. I was still thinking about whether Sister Bai should go find His Highness if she hasn't woken up yet."
Bai Qige sat up leaning against the bed. They were all familiar people, but she didn't care that it was inconvenient to see guests in her middle coat: "Don't look for him. He is so busy looking for people that he has no time to care about such small things. I have been sleeping for so long and I don't know Su Rao." Do you have any news from Concubine Jing?”
Fu Chu shook his head: "At least there is no bad news. If there is news, Your Highness will definitely tell Sister Bai. This morning, I heard someone said that His Highness was leading the imperial guard battalion to search the concubines' palaces. When I mentioned this, I suddenly remembered that there might be something hidden in the palace. Mrs. Surao may not only have the fifth prince, but also Sister Bai and His Highness. It seems that they have forgotten the existence of Concubine Jin."
"Concubine Jin..." Bai Qige pondered thoughtfully for a moment, still puzzled. "Prime Minister Zuo is dead. Concubine Jin alone can't make any waves. What's the use of hiding Su Rao? Besides, Su Rao hated Prime Minister Zuo to death before she would assassinate him." Concubine Jin taking her in is different from raising a tiger to make trouble. If Concubine Jin assassinated Su Rao to avenge her father's murder, it would be reasonable to say that she hid her. I don't think it is possible."
"Then what kind of mood does Sister Bai think Concubine Jin will have towards the fifth prince?" Fu Chu was not eager to refute but asked calmly.
Concubine Jin and Yi Chenxuan
After thinking for a while, Bai Qige took a deep breath, clenched her fist and hit her forehead. She actually ignored such an important detail.
Zuo Cheng had defied Su Rao and incurred resentment. At first glance, it seemed reasonable that he would be assassinated. No one else would suspect Yi Chenxuan, but she should never exclude Yi Chenxuan since she could take the initiative to crawl to Yi Chenxuan. Being on the bed with Xuan shows that Su Rao knows that Yi Chenxuan is the mastermind behind the scenes, has greater power and deeper into the city than Prime Minister Zuo, but Yi Chenxuan did not reach out to save Su Rao from the sea of misery. When it comes to Su Rao's hatred, he is afraid of Yi Chenxuan. His feelings will not be less than those for Prime Minister Zuo. So Su Rao, whose reputation was ruined after killing Prime Minister Zuo, will definitely find a way to take revenge on Yi Chenxuan.
Who else also understands Yi Chenxuan's cruelty, viciousness and hatred? It is none other than Concubine Jin, the only daughter of Prime Minister Zuo.
So when it comes to the person who is most likely to hide Su Rao, it should be Concubine Jin, not Yi Chenxuan. The purpose is to use Su Rao to try his best to help him get rid of the enemy who killed his father.
"Has Concubine Jin's palace been searched?" Bai Qige asked anxiously.
"It seems not yet." Fu Chu glanced at the hourglass, "But it's coming soon, right? This time we will search the palace from bottom to top. We will definitely find Concubine Jin's palace before dark."
Although her head was still a little dizzy, Bai Qige still insisted on sitting up: "It's very possible that Concubine Jing was not kidnapped by Su Rao. Yi Chenxuan probably expected that Su Rao would seek revenge on him, so he sent someone to take Concubine Jing away as a threat, or maybe someone else Searching the palace for other more sinister purposes will alert the snake. If Concubine Jin is afraid of being implicated and lets Surao leave, she will definitely choose to go to Yaoheng Palace as soon as possible..." Taking a deep breath, Bai Qige tightly grasped Fu Chu's sleeves: "Respectfully The concubine is in danger. I must tell Chen Jing before searching the palace."
Fu Chu and Ning Xizui looked at each other, then worried but nodded helplessly.
No one wants her to run around like this, but there is no other choice. After all, Fu Chu is just a retainer, and Ning Xizui is simply a merchant who was temporarily allowed to enter the palace. Two men with no identity and status want to Entering the harem casually is nonsense.
"Let Miss Yuche go with you. If you're like this... no one knows where you fall." Ning Xizui was still worried and thought about it but couldn't find a better way.
"That girl has an open mouth and a smart walk. Taking her there slowly will only miss the real thing." Bai Qige suddenly became alert and moved neatly, hugging the clothes on the corner of the bed, raising her hand and pointing directly to the door, "I want to change clothes."
"Ah, let's change it," Ning Xizui nodded.
"...Mr. Ning is particularly similar to Chen Jing in some places."
Either he is too innocent or he is extremely thick-skinned[
In short, the appearance of Ning Xizui is as usual, a few words can make Bai Qige calm down and stop thinking wildly, which is more effective than a panacea.
