Yi Chenxuan did not answer directly. He turned slightly. Behind him, a man wearing a black robe and holding a copper bell was exposed in Bai Qige's field of vision. The man's wrist flicked slightly, and the copper bell made a crisp sound. It was Bai Qige just now. The sound I heard was weird and made me feel uncomfortable all over.
"What the eyes see may not be true." Yi Chenxuan said vaguely. He seemed to inadvertently lift his hair from his ear. A silver earring caught Bai Qige's attention.
The earring is in the shape of a bell. There seems to be another mystery inside the clock. Whenever Yi Chenxuan speaks, the silver piece inside the clock will hit the wall of the clock and make an extremely small sound. If outsiders are not paying attention, they will not notice it at all. If the earrings are placed close to the ears, they will keep ringing. Don’t you feel noisy? The shape of the earrings quickly reminded Bai Qige of a copper bell in the hand of a mysterious man in black robe. Then he recalled that he was confused and drowsy when the bell rang just now. Bai Qige suddenly realized the feeling.
That brass bell is used for hypnosis.
Bai Qige doesn't know much about hypnosis, but she has some understanding of it. A hypnotist who is familiar with the key techniques can hypnotize people through graphics, language, and sounds. The hypnotized person can be made to do things according to the hypnotist's instructions in an unconscious state. Yi Chenxuan The mysterious man behind him must be a hypnotist. The bell is the medium he uses to hypnotize. The bell-shaped earrings Yi Chenxuan wears are tools to prevent him from being hypnotized at the same time. The sound of the silver pieces hitting the wall of the bell is small but loud. Enough to disrupt the ringtone and prevent him from being controlled.
If the speculation is true, then it would make sense for Emperor Yao to stay behind closed doors and issue unexpected orders one after another. In Ziyun Palace, Emperor Yao is still Emperor Yao, but his thoughts are controlled by others. It cannot be done at all. Act according to your own wishes.
"Have you discovered it? She is indeed the seventh woman. She has both ears and eyesight." Yi Chenxuan deliberately revealed the secret and pretended to be surprised. He looked down as if he were toying with his prey. He didn't seem to care that Bai Qige knew the truth. Bai Qige's legs were numb and could not stand up. Yi Chenxuan knelt down and looked at her faintly through the iron fence: "I just came to see you. This may be the last time we talk.. My father will issue an edict tonight. On the ninth day of next month. Ghost On the day before the festival, the famous Bai family will have its first descendant who will be executed for surrendering to the enemy and treason." Probably because he found Bai Qige's unchanged expression boring. Yi Chenxuan could only stand up and shrugged, with a trace of sarcasm flashing in his eyes. : "Of course. That only works if you are still here. There are still more than ten days. Who knows what will happen. Lao Qi really likes you."
Bai Qige understood what Yi Chenxuan meant. No one knew better than her how infatuated Yi Chenjing was. And no one knew better than her what irreversible things an angered Yi Chenjing would do.
"As long as I'm alive, I won't let you do whatever you want." Bai Qige looked up at those sinister eyes. Bai Qige stared at Yi Chenxuan with a firm and fearless tone.
If she becomes Yi Chenjing's weakness and puts him in a dilemma, then she will choose to disappear on her own for the sake of more people and more important things. No matter Yi Chenjing or the Bai family, everything is worthy of her. Use your life to protect instead of dragging down.
Yi Chenxuan obviously guessed what she was thinking. He sneered and approached the iron fence. He flicked his earrings with his fingertips and said, "I want to sacrifice myself to fulfill him. Bai Qige. You are still so naive. No. You should be said to be stupid. You and I There is no need for Lao Qi to show off his affection to me. Since I dare to make this move, I must have calculated all possibilities. With your temperament, you will not give up the chance to live easily... As long as you forget these. Forget what you just knew. everything."
How to forget what you already know. Bai Qige was at a loss. The crisp and strange sound of copper bells suddenly sounded again. One after another, jingling, jingling, came into the ears and disturbed the guilty conscience. It penetrated into every corner of the mind and nibbled away and disturbed. Bai Qige suffered from a splitting headache and blurred consciousness.
"Go to sleep. When you wake up, you will forget that I came here. Naturally, you will not remember any conspiracy. All you have to do is follow the arrangement and complete the game I set step by step."
When his eyes were closed, Yi Chenxuan's voice in his ears was suddenly far away and now close, sometimes loud and sometimes small. Finally, when darkness fell, it completely disappeared and could no longer be heard.
The sleepy body lay motionless on the ground. After a long time, the sneer on Yi Chenxuan's face disappeared. He turned around expressionlessly: "I'm sure she won't remember what happened just now."
The man in black robe nodded vigorously. He pointed to Bai Qige's head and then to the copper bell in his hand. He made a meaningless hoarse tone. Yi Chenxuan was not in the mood to pay attention to what a mute wanted to say. He was concerned about himself. A painstakingly planned plan. A huge conspiracy to eradicate dissidents and make a comeback.
It was already night when Bai Qige woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Yi Chenjing's anxious expression. Looking at her frowning, Yi Chenjing sneaked over dressed as a little eunuch as shown in the previous photo. As soon as she approached the death cell, she saw Bai Qige falling to the ground silently. At first, I thought she had fainted due to a cold attack. After picking her up and calling out twice, I realized that she had just fallen asleep.
"I was probably a little suffocated from holding it in here, so I fell asleep without realizing it." Although her mind was groggy and she couldn't remember what happened, Bai Qige still pretended to be relaxed and explained. She stretched out her hand to smooth Yi Chenjing's wrinkled face. brow.
"Qi Ge..." an unclear murmur was heard. Yi Chenjing grabbed Bai Qi Ge's hand and suddenly held her tightly in his arms. "On the ninth day of next month..."
"What happened on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month?" Bai Qige's expression was stiff. Her chin rested on Yi Chenjing's shoulder, and she forced a smile in the face of the dark void.
In fact, there is no need for Yi Chenjing to answer at all. His almost desperate expression, pale face, and trembling arms are not telling her the cruel truth. On the ninth day of next month, this is the time when Yaohuang gives her the end. All struggles are It's all in vain. The person who wants to kill her is the overlord of Zhongzhou. Even the queen is afraid of the difficulty and refuses to come forward to help. Who else can save her this unfortunate life.
Maybe Yi Chenjing can, but she won't accept it.
"Chen Jing, look at me." Bai Qige pushed away the gentle but trembling embrace. She held Qingjun's thin cheek. Her eyes flickered in the dimness. "I won't give up until the last moment. But you have to promise me. No matter what happens, Don't make a big mistake to save me. You have to know that there are many people behind us. Don't talk about those empty words of Jiangshan Sheji. Think about Zhan Ting. Think about Li'er. And I also have to think about the Bai family. We Every move is closely related to the lives of these people. There is no room for any impulse."
"Then let me watch you die." The emotions that were finally controlled were ignited by Bai Qige's words. Yi Chenjing turned his head away. Even a shallow breath would cause severe pain like tearing in the chest.
Three years. Their time together was so short. It was too late for him to compensate for his past debts. It was too late for her to enjoy happiness. How could he accept such an ending calmly?
It's not just him. It's also difficult for Bai Qige to do it herself.
Swallowing the unspeakable bitterness, Bai Qige showed a pale smile in the damp and cold darkness. She leaned quietly on Wen Nuo's chest: "There are still more than ten days. Who knows what will happen. Just try your best to change. At least let
I have a clear conscience."
"What's going to happen...yeah. Who knows."
The painful tone suddenly became calm. She noticed Yi Chenjing's abnormal changes. Bai Qige's heart was frightened. She wanted to hold his hand, but it was too late. The figure with a sharp breath had already stood up and walked quickly out of the cell.
"Don't worry, Qi Ge. I will not ignore the people of the country for you. I will firmly hold the throne until the day when I rule the world." The cell door was locked again. Yi Chenjing did not look back.
The cold and ruthless words echoed in the darkness. "If you die, I will kill everyone who harmed you and bury you with you."
No one is exempt. Even if he kills his father and king, he will suffer the punishment of God.
In spring, the early flowers have bloomed. When the cold wind blows, the white petals fall all over the ground. The clean courtyard is filled with the aroma of medicinal herbs. The green-eyed man sitting at the stone table is fascinated by the falling flowers on the ground and smells the herbs.
Taste. I didn’t say a word for a long time.
"Brother Ning can't think of a way?" Fu Chu held the empty medicine bowl and sat aside with a tired look on his face.
"How can I, a foreign businessman, get involved in the affairs of your distant country's royal family?" Ning Xizui retracted her reverie and smiled bitterly. "I just feel sorry for Miss Bai. It was me who harmed her. If the prince really can't do anything on the ninth day of next month
Save people..."
After Bai Qige was sent to death row, Ning Xizui repeatedly said that he had harmed her. Fu Chu guessed that he felt that he had not taken good care of Bai Qige and blamed himself. So he did not think too much about it. But the last words Ning Xizui said were
It was very meaningful. Fu Chu put down the medicine bowl and raised his head. His tone was tentative: "If there is no other way, what does Brother Ning want to do?"
Ning Xizui didn't answer. He continued to look at the winter jasmine petals floating in the wind. Not far from the door, Su Buqi hugged his shoulders and remained silent. His eyes never left Ning Xizui's thoughtful expression. After a while, he quietly left. Relying on his quick actions and excellent Qinggong.
.Walk freely through the heavily guarded palace. All the way to the deserted Huanqing Palace.
The towering old trees on the wall blocked the tall figure. Through the sparse branches and leaves, the scene in the courtyard could be clearly seen. Su Buqi held his breath and concentrated. His eyes were locked on the frail figure kneeling on the ground.
"Mrs. Suyan, Jin Zhaoyi, you'd better go back. The Queen has already said she won't come forward. Why are you doing this? Be careful if you catch the cold again or get sick after the storm. Aren't you the one who will suffer?
." The female officer next to the queen persuaded her earnestly. On the cold ground, Su Yan and Jin Zhaoyi were not moved at all. They continued to kneel in silence.
They have been here for three full days.
"Don't you two understand what I'm saying? Why are you kneeling here?" Xu Shi was troubled by their persistence. The queen who had been refusing to show up finally appeared. She was so angry that she didn't look good. "The emperor's decree
Already. I can’t help with this matter. If you waste this time, why not go back and prepare a coffin for Bai Qige. Don’t bother me.”
Bang. The heavy wooden door of the main hall was slammed shut, blocking out the two women who had not eaten or slept for three days and three nights, and were so weak that it was unbearable to look at them.
"There is no news from the Emperor. Have the general and the prince been lifted from house arrest yet?" The queen asked in a low voice in the quiet inner hall with her back to the female officer.
"There is no movement at all. The execution date has been set. The prince's east palace is as quiet as anything. Outsiders say that the prince has probably given up on saving people."
"No. No. The prince is a passionate person. And Bai Qige is not a good person who is willing to die in vain. They will not give up until the last moment." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The queen punched the case and applied it carefully. The dyed red nails were broken. Looking at the fingertips with slightly bleeding beads, the queen suddenly showed a confused expression. She lowered her head and murmured to herself: "Huaiyu, what are you thinking about? I...I am... It’s not my time to see you.”
