When he didn't get the red blood shark bead, he didn't care too much. Once he got it, all he thought about was its safety. Therefore, when Yi Chenjing found out that the heavy box was missing, his whole heart seemed to fall into despair.
Void.
That was the only way for him to make up for his past sins. It was the treasure that Bai Qige didn't mention but longed for in her heart!
He stood up suddenly and rushed outside. As soon as he got outside, he bumped into people. Yi Chenjing stretched out his hand to pull Bai Qige, who was almost knocked down by him, back to her side. Before anyone could stand still, she said hastily: "Qige, Qige,
Red blood——"
"Is it the red blood shark bead?" Bai Qige was extremely calm, looking at Yi Chenjing's eyes without hesitation, "I took it away, and I asked General I to hand it over to the emperor."
Yi Chenjing couldn't even lift it up in one breath, her chest hurt from the suffocation, and her internal organs felt like they were about to explode.
"Can't you just discuss it with me before making a decision!" Yi Chenjing's uncontrollable anger surged, and she almost roared, clutching Bai Qige's slender arms tightly, her eyes red.
He quarreled with Yaohuang several times over her, and wanted to keep the red-blood shark bead to fulfill her wish, but Bai Qige secretly handed the red-blood shark bead to Ou Suiliang as if she didn't understand him, and he almost fell out with his biological father.
What is the result of not being able to retain anything?
The arm that was tightly grasped by Yi Chenjing was so painful that it seemed like it was going to break. Bai Qige endured the pain and stood quietly, letting his anger surge. When Yi Chenjing was exhausted and weak, she let go of her hand and staggered back, Bai Qige took it easy and calmly.
The ground supported him, just as he supported her when she fled.
"General I have told me about the deal proposed by Yan Hu and the dispute between you and the emperor." Bai Qige's tone was calm as she held Yi Chenjing's hand and put it against the scar on the side of her face.
"You said you don't care about my appearance. If that's the case, then use the red blood shark beads in exchange for greater benefits. If the world is stable, I won't bear the reputation of being a disaster."
Shaking off Bai Qige's support, Yi Chenjing walked into the bedroom and closed the door. She lay quietly on the bed alone, raised her arms to cover her eyes to block out the light, and plunged herself into boundless darkness.
He thought that Bai Qige should understand every thought and decision of his, but he suddenly realized that there was still an invisible distance between them that was difficult to bridge - he was doing it to atone for his sins, to make her happy, and to save himself from having to deal with it.
She continued to suffer from guilt before trying her best to protect the red-blooded Shark Pearl, but what about Bai Qige? Did she actually think that it was a sign that he cared about her appearance?
Oh, it turns out that in her mind, he is such a vulgar person.
That whole day, Yi Chenjing never glanced at Bai Qige again, and stayed alone in the bedroom with her eyes closed until late at night. Bai Qige didn't bother him, and asked Yu Che to bring dinner and put it on the table. When he disappeared, she didn't bother to enjoy the sex.
With the delicious food full of fragrance, I sat there until sunset and the moon was in the sky. Then I went to the empty room in the side hall to rest and had no sleep all night.
With the sound of drums in the morning and evening, the two people, neither of whom looked very good, met in the courtyard. They left without even saying a word, but after passing by, they fell into a trance, thinking about each other's figure and face.
With an expression on his face, he couldn't help but look back, but unfortunately he was separated by the busy figure of his servants.
People will always become sensitive and suspicious under great pressure. Whether it is Yi Chenjing or Bai Qige, they have endured so much that they have completely failed to notice how difficult this period was, otherwise they would not have made huge waves in the future.
Before the turmoil comes, there will be a cold war. We forget that only by supporting each other can we have the strength to survive the cold winter.
After receiving the Red Blood Shark Pearl, Ruan Yanluo readily fulfilled the agreement and informed Yaohuang about the rumored sudden rise of the force. Yi Chenjing and General Ou were also present. After listening to Ruan Yanluo's description of the third party's military strength, they met in person.
Watching expressionlessly, the red-blooded shark pearl was put on a silk thread and hung on Ruan Yanluo's snow-white and slender neck. The huge pearl hanging down to his chest was flowing with brilliance, complementing his charming and voluptuous appearance.
In Yi Chenjing's eyes, it was clearly ugly and disgusting.
"We will return to Monan in half a month. We have experienced the local customs, prosperity and prosperity of Dayao. There is only one shortcoming. I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to help make up for Yanluo." He looked numb.
Yi Chenjing and Ruan Yanluo smile charmingly.
"Didn't you get everything you wanted?" Yi Chenjing didn't look away, looking at the eye-catching red shark bead.
Ruan Yanluo saw that his eyes were always fixed on the red-blood shark bead, so he simply moved the red-blood shark bead upwards, and it happened to be stuck in the middle of the skirt with half exposed breasts. As expected, Yi Chenjing's face stiffened slightly, and she turned her head away.
stare.
"It has been a while since I came to Yaoguo. I have invited almost all the princes to have dinner with me. Only His Highness the Crown Prince is busy with business and has not been able to have a banquet alone. In the past few days, I heard that His Majesty Yao Huang is in good health and can review memorials in person. I would like to come to the Crown Prince.
His Highness is able to spare some free time, and he also wants to thank Princess Qi'an for reluctantly giving away this red blood shark bead, so Yanluo wants to host a banquet tonight, and I don't know if His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to honor it - I
What I mean is that only His Highness the Crown Prince will be invited to the banquet."
The fact that Ruan Yanluo is interested in Yi Chenjing has long been spread throughout the harem of the previous dynasty. It is not new, but not many ministers have seen her in such a dissolute manner. Although they have heard that the folk customs in Monan are open, teasing and inviting people like this...
Several important ministers lowered their heads with disdain and disdain on their faces, and at the same time quietly raised their ears, waiting for Yi Chenjing's answer.
"Princess Yanluo invites me, how can I not go?" Yi Chenjing withdrew her gaze and answered neatly, which surprised Ou Suiliang. As if to resist Ruan Yanluo's charm, Yi Chenjing raised the corner of her mouth and smiled slightly.
, Qing Junzhong added a touch of elegance: "It just so happens that I also want to find an opportunity to 'thank' Princess Yanluo for her favor and the things Princess Yanluo has done for me."
These words seemed to have a profound meaning. The ministers looked at each other, and all the monks were confused. Only Emperor Yao and Ou Suiliang had guessed, and they both lowered their gazes and stared at Yi Chenjing - Ou Suiliang.
Suiliang learned from Eunuch Tao that he had a quarrel with Emperor Yao over the red-blooded shark bead, and then took it upon himself to go to Bai Qige to get the red-blooded shark bead. This incident made Yi Chenjing very angry, and he could be said to hate Yan Huguo to the point of
To the extreme, he suddenly changed his attitude and was so polite and vague to Ruan Yanluo...
No one can guess what he is planning.
The brief meeting with Yan Hushi took place in the morning. At that time, Bai Qige was still in the East Palace in a daze, not knowing what to think about. She was not even aware of Ning Xizui's arrival.
"Miss Bai seems to be in a daze, but what careless man has offended her again?" Ning Xizui smiled as she pulled Yu Che, who was cleaning the courtyard with his head down.
"How many men are there in this palace? How many careless men are there? How many men are careless and deserve the lady's trouble and trouble? They do nothing but make the lady sad all day long!
"Looking at Bai Qige sitting in a daze in the room, Yu Che dropped the broom hatefully, gritted his teeth and kicked it as far away as possible.
It was not easy for Ning Xizui to find an opportunity to enter the palace. Seeing that Bai Qige was not in good spirits, it was not easy to disturb her. She shook her head, opened the folding fan and played with it in her hands in the winter: "What is it for this time? To eat? To drink? Or?
Any other trivial things?”
"In the past, it was all trivial matters, but this time it's not trivial." Yu Che knew that Ning Xizui and Bai Qige had a close relationship, so he didn't hide anything when he spoke. He lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious, "Ms.
I gave it away, and it was without His Highness’s consent. Just because of this, the two of us met without even saying hello. You see, my lady and I just moved into the East Palace for a few days and then moved back to the deserted Lianchenxuan. I
Think about it, what is that called... red beads or something..."
Ning Xizui pondered: "Red blood shark beads?"
"Well, that's right, this is it! It's all the fault of Princess Yanhu. She obviously gave it to the eldest prince and then gave it to the young lady. But as soon as she opened her mouth, she persuaded the emperor to take the thing back. What's the point of this? The young lady is afraid of His Highness.
I gave away the things in embarrassment, only to be complained by His Highness, it was a thankless task, and I really died unjustly!"
Next, Yu Che had a lot of complaints, but Ning Xizui didn't listen to a single word. He only looked at Bai Qige's thin figure through the door and window, seeming to be thinking about something. After a while, he took out a round and flat figure from his sleeve.
A small copper box was thrust into Yu Che's hand: "I've finished drinking the wine, so I can't send any more fine wine to Miss Bai. This is more than 30 years old wine paste. Take it to Miss Bai and ask her tonight
Are you in the mood to go outside the palace? Ning recently learned how to blend wine ointment from her adoptive father. If she is willing, she can come to Anping Inn to try it."
Yu Che took the box and looked at it curiously. When he came back to his senses, Ning Xizui had disappeared, leaving only the mellow and rich wine paste stained by the cold wind, as if this winter was not so cold anymore.
Bai Qige apologized spontaneously when she received the wine ointment. Ning Xizui had followed her all the way to the imperial capital for several months. Thinking carefully about it, he had always come to the palace to "drop in" to see her, but she had never even taken the initiative to meet her.
Perhaps subconsciously, she didn't want Yi Chenjing to be careless, or maybe she was used to Ning Xizui's initiative and gentleness.
In short, Bai Qige decided to be a door-to-door customer this time.
Yi Chenjing went to Ruan Yanluo's banquet. Ou Xueyu, who had been staying in the East Palace after the assassination incident, was bored. In the evening, she couldn't bear the loneliness and came to Lianchenxuan to find Bai Qige to accompany her. Unexpectedly, Bai Qige also left the palace and was nowhere to be found.
I was extremely bored and helpless, and even with the occasional shower, I had to put aside the restraint of a wealthy lady, chase after the indifferent Yu Che, chatting until dark, and unknowingly fell asleep on the bed in the bedroom where Yi Chenjing once lived.
This night was so unusual, and there was a vague sense of uncertainty about fate, and it was doomed that tragedy was about to happen.
In the guest hall allocated for the temporary stay of envoy Rouhu, the incense was warm, the candles were lingering, and the dim yellow light was mixed with the sweetness of rouge, giving rise to a very ambiguous smell for no reason. Yi Chenjing lifted the gauze curtain, and then the clothes were exposed after the haze.
Ruan Yanluo still has a dazzling pearl hanging on his chest.
"You're here, I thought you didn't dare to come." With a soft smile and affectionate eyes, Ruan Yanluo was half sitting and half lying down. The butterfly pattern silk covering his body was as thin as cicada wings, making his skin look like snow.
Even with such a fragrant and beautiful woman in front of him, Yi Chenjing's expression remained expressionless and almost numb, and his voice and tone did not change at all: "The red blood shark beads are useless to you, please set a condition, what do you want before you are willing to use them?"
Return of the Red Blood Shark Pearl?"
Ruan Yanluo showed a contrived expression of resentment due to the straightforward question without any warmth, but if you look carefully, her eyes contained a smile, her red lips parted lightly, and her breath was like blue.
"No need to ask, isn't it that what I want is you, His Royal Highness?"
