Bai Qige's unexpected move left everyone stunned. It wasn't until they heard something stirring the river water that they realized and rushed to the shore. They saw an old wooden boat floating precariously on the river. Bai Qige, who had just jumped in, At the bow of the boat. In the arms of a man with blue eyes and light hair.
"I said I would catch it accurately. Bu Qi always doubted my ability." Ning Xizui let go of Bai Qige with a proud face on her face, and threw the black wax pill into the rushing river.
It took seven years to raise a Gu. It is hard to buy for a lot of money. It was a treasure that was meant to save one's life, but he gave it away at will. Su Buqi held the oar and glanced at the wax pills swirling and sinking to the bottom of the river. He raised his head to meet Bai Qige's gaze. .
"I owe Mr. Ning my life today. I hope I can repay it if I have the opportunity in the future." Bai Qige also threw the crushed wax balls in her hands into the river. Bai Qige solemnly thanked Ning Xizui. The latter's smile did not change. He remained the same. As gentle as jade, peaceful and peaceful.
"You can die as a confidant, let alone a useless insect. Miss Bai is serious."
Whose useless bug would be carefully protected with a silver cage? Bai Qige didn't say anything, but she knew in her heart that the bug must not be an ordinary thing. Otherwise, Su Buqi wouldn't have that kind of regretful expression that he couldn't stop talking about. Looking at Ning Xizui. The longer she spent with her, the more guilty she felt. Along the way, she couldn't count how many times Ning Xizui helped her and how much gold and silver he spent on her. Even if he was a wealthy businessman with good business skills, he was so generous. It was too extravagant to spend without considering anything in return. And all she could repay was to drink his wine and receive his favor and care.
If one day Ning Xizui opens her mouth, no matter what the conditions are, she will agree without hesitation.
The river was fast and there was a huge boulder lying in the middle. Su Buqi didn't dare to push the boat by the water. He could only stick bamboo pulp upright in the cracks in the rocks and move it slowly along the river. The speed was quite slow. The drop was as high as one person. And so on. The river was dangerously fast. No matter how stupid those people pretending to be An Ling Army were, they would not jump out and seek death. Bai Qige sat on the bow of the boat and watched a group of ants on the hot pot and couldn't help but laugh out loud. She didn't notice Ning Xizui behind her at all. Keep looking at her. Silent as night.
The man pretending to be General Anling was lying on the edge of the ferry, staring and cursing. He seemed to be thinking of something while cursing. He turned around and waved desperately behind him. Bai Qige was wondering if he had any other conspiracy. Suddenly, on the south bank of the river, someone suddenly There were shouts of panic.
"Jump off the ship. Jump off the ship. Quick."
A place as big as a palm. Who else could be there besides the three of them and the fake soldiers? The two lieutenants, Peng and Ai, were waiting for an opportunity a mile away. It was impossible to come without her order. And it was on the opposite south bank of the river. ...Looking back full of doubts, Bai Qige was suddenly at a loss.
The man kneeling on the shore and shouting desperately to them was actually General Lu Feidu of Anling Kingdom.
It's just a meeting between the real and fake generals. Why do they need to jump off the ship? Subconsciously looking towards the ferry on the north bank, Bai Qige took a breath and her face turned livid... On the ferry, a copper cannon had just been pushed to the edge. The muzzle was facing them. The wooden boat you ride on.
Su Buqi and Ning Xizui also saw the bronze cannon at the ferry. They dropped the oars and picked up the bow and arrow at their feet. Su Buqi stretched his long arm back and drew the bow tightly. He actually put three arrows on the string at the same time, aiming at the point where the bronze cannon was lit. At that moment, the man turned to Bai Qige and Ning Xizui and shouted: "Jump."
There was no time to say more. Ning Xizui picked up Bai Qige and rushed to the bow of the ship. The moment she jumped into the water, a loud bang sounded in her ears.
The water in the river was very fast. But no matter how fast it was, it was not as powerful as the bronze cannon. The water splashed high into the sky. It stayed in the air for a long time before falling back into the river. Where the dilapidated wooden boat originally floated, there were only a few pieces left. The broken wooden boards and wisps of bright red threads.
"Don't give up..."
It was still dark in the cold night. Heart-wrenching screams came from the side hall of the Prince's East Palace, vaguely mixed with sobs.
Hearing that the palace maid came to report that Su Yan was possessed in the middle of the night, she kept crying as if she was possessed. Yi Chenjing ignored the memorial in his hand that had not yet been approved and hurriedly walked into the side hall. On the bed, Su Yan looked haggard. She covered her face and her shoulders were shaking slightly. She shed tears. Falling from the fingers.
"It's a nightmare again." He waved his hand to send people away. Yi Chenjing whispered softly.
Hearing Yi Chenjing's voice, Suyan slowly raised her head. Her bright eyes were already red and swollen from crying. She was weak when speaking: "Sister Qi Ge... Is there no news about sister Qi Ge yet?"
Yi Chenjing's expression stiffened for a moment, and then he shook his head slightly.
It's been more than two months since they parted ways. The news about Bai Qige started to stop more than half a month ago. Suyan tossed and turned every night and couldn't sleep. When she finally fell asleep, she was awakened by nightmares. Although Yi Chenjing couldn't see much change, she was anxious and worried. Buried in his heart, he couldn't get rid of it. It was a ruthless battlefield. Even if he asked someone to take care of her, who could protect her unscathed in a real fight?
No. It doesn't matter even if she is injured. As long as she is still alive. Just alive.
Taking a deep breath to suppress her sorrow and longing, Yi Chenjing reached out and gently wiped away the tears on Su Yan's face: "Ji people have their own destiny. Qi Ge will be fine. Besides, General Xiao rushed to the southern border two days ago. With him. It's easy to help Qi Ge and quell the chaos. Don't think too much. Your body is not as good as before because you are too busy thinking. If you continue like this, how will you let me see Qi Ge when she comes back? She gave me many instructions before she left. Take good care of you."
"It's hard enough for you to be busy with your previous affairs. I have Yu Che here. I just had a nightmare and scared myself. It'll be fine if you wake up." Su Yan forced out a smile and avoided leaving any trace. Yi Chenjing warmed her fingers and wiped away her tears. "Go to bed. It's already midnight. Don't you have to go to Ziyun Palace tomorrow morning? It doesn't matter if you approve the subtitles one day early or one day late. Don't tire yourself. Qi The song sister knows that she will feel distressed."
Both of them used the absent person as a source of comfort. It was really funny to think about it. Yi Chenjing hesitated for a moment and nodded. After seeing Suyan lying down and tucking her in, she left quietly. They walked outside the palace. Her handsome face was unusual. The tenderness faded away in an instant.
Su Yan had nightmares every night. He was so anxious that he went crazy. According to his experience, once the army loses contact, there is a high probability that something will happen.
"Your Highness, is Sister Suyan having a nightmare?" Hearing the voice, he turned around. The handsome and gentle young man stood in the night wearing single clothes, with a slightly sad look on his face.
Yi Chenjing nodded. Then he sighed deeply: "After Surao died, her health was getting worse day by day. She always felt worried when she looked at her. After Qi Ge left, she was even more worried. She didn't know when she would get better. stand up."
"Sister Suyan is just too depressed and stagnant. She will feel relieved when Sister Bai comes back." After hesitating for a long time, Fu Chu said in a low voice, "Something happened to Sister Bai. Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't be anxious. Send General Xiao over quickly."
"After losing contact for so long, my father must be very anxious. I had a private conversation with General Ou before. He also thought that the purpose of this expedition was not that simple. But every time I asked my father about it, I got only silence. Fu Chu, you have a sharp mind. Have you noticed any clues?"
Yi Chenjing knew everything about the affairs of the former harem to Fu Chu. The young man who came from the mountains and was familiar with the strategies of governing the country was already attentive and intelligent. With Yi Chenjing's guidance, in just a few months he grew into an important figure who could play the role of an adviser. Fu Chu had already sorted out the context based on what happened before and after. However, when Yi Chenjing suddenly asked him, he could still answer fluently: "Messenger Yanhu left suddenly and extremely low-key. The Queen kept saying that she would help Sister Bai. But there was no action. And the emperor's decision to send troops to fight against rebellion was also caught off guard. I always felt that these three parties were calm on the surface, but secretly they were wrestling with each other, especially the emperor and the empress who suddenly got involved in the situation. Whenever there is an issue, these two people will come up with completely opposite opinions and decisions. No matter how you look at it, it looks like they are fighting."
"Yan Hu Guo took advantage of the quarrel between the father and the queen to mess around and kept making little tricks. It made the front and back palaces restless." After a short pause, Yi Chenjing frowned slightly. "At first I thought Ruan Yanluo was just taking revenge on me. She ignored me and deliberately ruined my reputation. It was only when General Ou told me that Yanhu State was being annexed by the new country that I realized that all of this was a trap set up by Yanhu State and was secretly connected with them. I’m afraid there’s more than just a queen. There’s also..."
"Fifth Prince." Before Yi Chenjing could finish speaking, Fu Chu faintly spoke out the name of the person who had not been mentioned for a long time.
It was not easy for the queen to contact the Monan countries since she had been living in the palace for a long time. It was even more difficult to cause trouble in the distant southern border. Ou Suiliang immediately informed Yanhu when he learned that the country was in danger and had been in contact with Yi Chenxuan. Yi Chenjing. The two of them spent a long time trying to sort out the clues. In the end, it led to the terrible possibility that Yi Chenxuan was still evil and was still behind the scenes.
Even though there were thousands of reluctances, Yi Chenjing still had to admit that he was far inferior to his brother Yi Chenxuan in terms of scheming and tactics.
The moonlight is bright and clear, but the mood of the people under the moon is extremely gloomy. The two men, one tall and one short, still remember the heartbreaking past. They remember who killed Concubine Jing and Qiao Qingxu. The blood and tears... vividly. In the head.
In the long silence, Fu Chu sneezed untimely. He was just about to persuade Yi Chenjing to go to rest early. The door of the room behind him suddenly opened with a creak. His thin body was sitting in a wheelchair. His face was brighter than the moonlight. A pure and white smile.
"Li'er. Why are you still up so late?" Fu Chu hurriedly took off the coat covering his body and put it on Li'er's shoulders. He put his palms together and wrapped his slightly cold hands. His tone was quite reproachful. "I told you that there was no cold wind. .The wind is strong and cold in the middle of the night. You dare to run out at this time. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
Li'er shook her head. Two blushes appeared on her fair face: "I couldn't sleep. I heard you sneezing outside, so I thought about sending some clothes over. Sister Jin Cu taught me how to sew these clothes. I didn't know if you were wearing the right clothes. does not fit."
The delicate little hands picked up the neatly folded clothes in his arms and shook them out. The crooked and uneven stitches looked like the work of a naughty child. But Fu Chu and Yi Chenjing were silent at the same time... Li'er couldn't see it. Come on. Did she sew stitch by stitch? It was something that ordinary people could finish in three or two days. How many times did she prick her fingers, and how many times did she have to sew and remove the stitches before she could complete it? Even the crooked stitches were all gone. Spending her countless nights...
"Send Li'er to bed. It's cold. Stay with her more."
What does the cold weather have to do with being with Li'er? Fu Chu and Li'er were confused. Even Yi Chenjing himself didn't know. He just wanted the young man who was still sad to get out of the shadows as soon as possible and accept this poor girl earlier.
of mind.
May all lovers in the world finally get married. At that moment, he prayed so childishly and absurdly.
