"Prince Min has also received the news. Qi Ge conspired with the enemy to secretly deliver weapons. She also instigated a group of bandits to rob prisoners on the way back to the imperial capital. There are both witnesses and physical evidence. What are you going to do to save her? This girl...
It doesn't make people worry." Bai Jingfu waved his hands heavily, with a look of irritation on his face.
The letter received by the Bai Mansion roughly listed the crimes committed by Bai Qige. However, Bai Haocheng did not believe that Bai Qige had committed those crimes. On the one hand, because of his understanding of Wu Siying, he determined that he was not someone who sought victory through crooked ways.
On the one hand, it is also because of the partiality towards Bai Qige. If Bai Qige is admitted to have done these things, the death penalty will be difficult to escape.
He pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment. Bai Haocheng held up the letter: "Dad, do you believe that Qi Ge will surrender to the enemy and betray the country? Why did she humiliate herself in the first place? If Qi Ge is the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and prays for glory and wealth, why should she let go of the crown princess?
You have a noble status to collude with a small, newly-minted country. Qi Ge is your daughter. Why would dad rather trust outsiders than trust her?"
"How do you expect me to believe her?" Bai Jingfu snorted coldly. He grabbed the letter and tore it into pieces. "Haocheng, Haocheng. Have you forgotten how Zhao Kingdom was conquered? It's because you dote on Qi Ge too much.
I trusted her so much that I gave her the opportunity to steal the defense plan." The snowflake-like fragments of the letter were thrown onto Bai Haocheng's chest. They fell into pieces and fell to the ground. Bai Jingfu's anger was still there, and his eyes were full of pain: "I, the Bai family, will be a general for generations.
.Guarding the Kingdom of Zhao from the iron hoof invasion of the enemy. However, this generation gave birth to an unfilial villain like Qi Ge. Not only did she insult the lintel of the Bai family, but she also made the Kingdom of Zhao become a vassal state. It was her own choice until now.
What else do you want to do for her? Let Emperor Yao destroy Zhao Kingdom in anger. Or let the Bai family's century-old reputation be ruined overnight because of a scoundrel like her."
It is an indisputable fact that Bai Qige secretly presented the defense plan. Bai Haocheng could not explain it. He looked down at the shredded paper on the ground like snow. He felt as if he was being pulled desperately by two completely different forces and was about to be torn apart.
The mission of family and country and the love of loved ones cannot find a balance between the two. To protect one is to abandon the other. For General Zhao Guo, who values love and justice and has heavy responsibilities, this is more difficult than anything he has experienced.
Every battle requires difficult choices, but he doesn't need to hesitate. The choice has been made as early as the last time we parted.
The bright silver armor that symbolized the highest glory of the three armies of the Zhao Kingdom was discarded on the ground. The dust raised covered the majestic past. Under the astonished eyes of his parents and younger brother, Bai Haocheng resolutely jumped on the horse's back. He pulled the reins tightly and his eyes sparkled.
"Haocheng is unfaithful and unfilial. He is not worthy of being a descendant of the Bai family. Please tell me, father, to King Min. You should choose someone else to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies."
"Nonsense. Come down." In desperation, Bai Jingfu reached out to pull the reins. Unexpectedly, Bai Haocheng's quick eyesight and quick hands turned the horse's head and dodged away. Bai's eldest son died in the battlefield in his early years. His youngest son, Bai Haoyu, was ignorant and incompetent. Now, now
Only Bai Haocheng's son could give Bai Jingfu some comfort. Seeing that even this only promising talent was rebelling, Bai Jingfu was furious: "Haocheng, if you still recognize me as your father, get rid of your horse immediately. Do you want the Bai family to do so?"
Will you be shamed because of you brothers and sisters from now on..."
When I was young, I was rarely scolded in Baihao City. I was slightly dazed. Then I regained my determination and shook my head firmly: "The Kingdom of Zhao exists in name only. The king is stupid and immoral. There is no point in guarding it. Dad, the Bai family has done enough for Zhao Kingdom. I don't
I will abandon my family again for a foolish king who is not worthy of my allegiance. It doesn’t matter even if I become a sinner of Zhao Kingdom. I must save Qi Ge.”
"You... How can you be so unreasonable? How can you be unreasonable." Bai Jingfu was extremely angry. Without even thinking about it, he suddenly pulled out his sword and slashed straight towards the horse's body.
As a son, Bai Haocheng naturally could not take action against his father. Seeing that he was about to suffer a loss, Bai Haoyu unexpectedly rushed in front of Bai Jingfu and opened his arms to stop the sword that was about to fall.
Bai Jingfu was so angry that he gritted his teeth. The hand holding the sword couldn't help but tremble: "Get out of here. If you don't get out, I'll take care of you too."
"Dad, please let the second brother go. Let the second brother save my sister. She is your biological daughter. Do you want to watch my sister be wronged and die..." Bai Haoyu knelt on the ground and hugged Bai Jingfu's legs tightly.
.The boyish face has an expression that is very similar to that of his elder brother.
In the Bai family, the person who hated Bai Qige the most was Bai Haoyu. Bai Jingfu didn't understand why the situation had changed since the last time Bai Haoyu was kidnapped and rescued. Seeing his youngest son crying and begging, his heart finally felt soft for a moment.
Taking advantage of this moment, Bai Haocheng tightened his horse's belly and shouted loudly. Before Bai Jingfu could react, the horse and rider were already a hundred steps away.
"If we can't save Qi Ge, please ask dad to build a tomb for us by the riverside." The figure walked away, leaving nothing but dust and sand in the sky.
The long sword slumped to the ground. Bai Jingfu stared blankly at the black spots that gradually disappeared in his field of vision. His burly body suddenly collapsed like a mountain. He tremblingly held down the younger son's shoulders. He burst into tears.
More than thirty years of endless fighting. The general is not sad for his gray hair. He is only sad that the mountains and rivers are shattered and the people are displaced. He has guarded a century-old foundation and watched the country precariously decline. He is getting old. He still needs the white-haired people to send the black-haired people, with his own hands.
Are you burying the bones of your children? Who have you protected in this life?
I don't know whether it was Bai Haocheng's determination to die or Bai Jingfu's grief that affected Bai Qige's flesh and blood. It was rare for her to fall asleep in the darkness and humidity, but she suddenly woke up. She looked around blankly with her mouth half open. She was surprised that she suddenly thought of her relatives in a distant country.
"Second brother..." He leaned against the wall and murmured softly. Thinking of Bai Haocheng's care and advice when we parted last time, Bai Qige suddenly felt a trace of fear.
Will her matter implicate the Bai family? Will it implicate Zhaoguo? It will be difficult to calm down if the heart is disturbed. Bai Qige knocked on the cell door. The jailer with a kind face came over in a hurry: "What's wrong with Princess Qi'an?"
Order."
"What time is it now? Any news?"
The jailer looked back at the hourglass on the desk at the end. He turned around and said softly: "A quarter past two o'clock is the third day that Princess Qi'an came in. Eunuch Tao came half an hour earlier. He didn't see Princess Qi'an sleeping.
Excuse me. I heard from Eunuch Tao that Mrs. Suyan and Jin Zhaoyi are still with the Queen. There is no other news."
Bai Qige nodded gratefully. She turned back and shrank into the corner.
It's only the third day. It always feels like thousands of years have passed. I'm almost numb waiting.
She had thought a lot in the past two days alone in the darkness. She originally thought that as long as Yaohuang calmed down, she might be pardoned. When Yi Chenjing appeared and told her about the recent abnormalities in Ziyun Palace, Bai Qige slowly thought about it.
Come here. Now she is on the verge of life and death.
Emperor Yao refused to come out. Only from Tao Gonggong's mouth can we know that the imperial edict was indeed issued by Emperor Yao himself. In this way, the possibility of others falsely passing on the imperial edict was ruled out. But this does not explain why Emperor Yao had access to the Internet in the first place.
She had one intention and then suddenly issued a killing order. If the contradiction cannot be resolved, her death penalty cannot be pardoned. The worst thing is that now Yi Chenjing is in a dilemma. If she does not go to Yaohuang, other people are not qualified to defend her and plead for mercy;
Go find Yaohuang. If the house arrest has not been lifted, then it is against the Holy Will. Since Yaohuang can even make the decision to kill her, it is not impossible to remove Yi Chenjing from the position of Crown Prince.
In other words, Yi Chenjing faced a dilemma: give up Bai Qige's position to protect the crown prince, or give back the country that was within easy reach, and give up the world for her.
Will he?
Bai Qige couldn't guess the answer. She asked him once, but got a long silence.
In fact, it doesn't matter even if Yi Chenjing chooses Tianxia instead of her. Bai Qige is not a girl with innocent dreams. She will not use this to measure the value of a man's feelings. In her opinion, a real man should understand responsibility and dare to take it. Since He has the task of stabilizing the world, so he shouldn't stick to personal feelings. There are more important things in this world that he needs to protect.
"Dingling...Dingling..."
A few brass bells suddenly rang in the endless silence. Somehow, hearing the sound made Bai Qige feel dizzy and her eyesight turned black. She felt panicked for no reason. She raised her head and looked outside the prison. There seemed to be a little light at the end of the long and narrow passage. Gradually, a figure floated towards the death row like a ghost.
"Who is it?" He put his fingers to his lips and bit down hard. As hot blood poured into his mouth, the pain made Bai Qige regain consciousness.
No one answered in the darkness. Even the ringing stopped suddenly. Instead, there were footsteps, getting closer and closer.
"I haven't seen you for a few months. You still look so ugly and disgusting. How is it? How does it feel like in prison? Do you like it?" The sarcastic and undisguised tone was disgusting. However, the shock and hatred brought by that voice far outweighed it. Other feelings.
Bai Qige froze on the spot. Her cold eyes were fixed on the direction of the sound. She spoke word by word, as if she wanted to tear the owner of the name apart: "Yi Chenxuan."
As the distance shortened, the firefly-sized light gradually expanded. In the dim light illuminated by the oil lamp, the face and person that had appeared countless times in Bai Qige's nightmares stood in front of him again.
In just a few months, Bai Qige has encountered numerous changes. But Yi Chenxuan is still the same as before. He is dressed in rich clothes, but has a sinister and cold heart. He looks gentle and elegant on the outside, but he is fierce and ferocious in his heart. No one can match him. That's it. Even the contemptuous smile was the same as before. Bai Qige never expected that Yi Chenxuan would appear here. It was difficult to cover up his messy mood at the same time. Hatred was vented from his eyes. He was fierce and fierce.
How can we not hate him? The blood debt he has borne is not enough.
The child who passed away silently before she and Yi Chenjing had a chance to see the world. The imperial concubine who had no fight with the world but died innocently. Qiao Qingxu, who loved and was loved by whom but died in the imperial capital... If all the people were... The souls of the dead killed by Yi Chenxuan are all gathered here. I am afraid that the world will tremble and change color. This place will become a hell where ghosts wail.
"Don't be excited. I'm just here to see you. To see your old sweetheart who is now the Crown Princess and now a prisoner." Yi Chenxuan noticed Bai Qige's angry aura. He enjoyed it very much. The corners of his slanted lips were sinister and cold. "You and Lao Qi ruined so many of my good deeds. Do you know that you were wrong now? Look, Qi Ge, this prison is so scary. Even if you bribe the jailer to take extra care of me, I can still walk in front of you easily. Looking down at you, you look as pitiful as a dog. ..There is nothing in this world that I cannot do. No matter you or Lao Qi, you will eventually become my plaything and die miserably according to the method I have described for you."
The way he draws...that is to say...
Bai Qige raised her head and looked at the cold face half covered by the shadow: "You are secretly manipulating the emperor."
