Time is the most elusive thing, it sometimes goes fast and sometimes slows down, and it doesn't work as you wish.
It's funny to say that Bai Qige has had the longest rest in Dayao Tianlao these days since her rebirth. She has been busy with various things and always hopes to have time to stop and take a good sleep. Now that her wish has come true, she can't sleep.
When I fell asleep, I was woken up by nightmares at every turn.
In fact, there were no scary monsters or scary things in the dream, only the crisp ringtone coming from nowhere. However, every time Bai Qige thought about the ringtone, she would have a splitting headache, as if there was something sealed in the deepest part of her mind, and she would be harmed if she touched it.
to a vicious attack. In addition, what bothered Bai Qige was a circle of tooth marks on her fingers. She thought about it for a long time and couldn't remember when she bit herself hard. Was it in a nightmare?
I can’t figure it out, so I simply don’t think about it anymore.
I woke up and fell asleep in the darkness, closing my eyes and opening them again. After waiting for countless boring and lonely moments, I finally looked forward to the third meeting with Yi Chenjing that I wanted but didn't want to.
This time he did not wear the clothes of a young eunuch, but the clothes of a prince, and walked into the prison openly and openly.
The silent embrace was as lingering as a snake. Bai Qige didn't know if the warmth on her neck was his lips or his tears. The two of them stood in the cold cell like intertwined withered vines, hugging each other in silence. Such a warm moment is precious.
But she understood what it meant - this was farewell, the pain of his helplessness, and her last warm time in the mortal world.
The death penalty is imminent.
"Is there still some time? It's time to freshen up and change into clean clothes before heading out on the road." Facing the impending death, Bai Qige's heart was as calm as still water, and her peaceful smile was filled with endless nostalgia, which tightly wrapped around Yi Chenjing.
Thinking of those people they must be responsible for, Bai Qige sighed silently: "Life will always go on. You can be sad but not for too long. Many things cannot be waited for. Su Buqi, you know that, he and Sister Suyan
We are in love, you must remember to give your freedom to Sister Suyan as soon as possible, let her fly out of this golden birdcage, before there is another grey-haired resentful woman in the palace. Yu Che is my half sister,
You also have to take good care of her, and find a good home for her to be a husband and child, away from the hustle and bustle, or send her back to the Bai family. At least she can see her second brother every day without suffering from lovesickness. By the way, there is Zhan Ting.
, Fu Chu and Li'er, they are all people who sincerely respect you and protect you. You must consider them before making any decisions. Don't always act on impulse regardless of the consequences and live up to their trust in you."
Yin Yin's instructions conveyed a sense of desolation. Even Bai Qige herself could not have imagined that she, who had been trying so hard to live, would die calmly. No, where is calmness? Until now, she still wants to use her last strength to escape from death, but the world does not allow it.
She lives because she cannot choose to sacrifice her loved ones to survive.
After you have family and loved ones worth protecting, life or death is no longer your own business.
"Qi Ge, there are still four hours left. I want to give you a farewell gift." Yi Chenjing suddenly spoke, her voice low and hoarse. The unusually bland tone made Bai Qi Ge uneasy, but she could only force a smile and look at it.
There was an unreadable look in his bloodshot eyes. Yi Chenjing reluctantly let go of her arms, walked outside the cell door and whispered around the corner: "Come in, she must really want to see you."
Bai Qige was slightly stunned, not knowing who Yi Chenjing was talking to. When a familiar figure turned around the corner and appeared in front of her, without any warning, tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Second brother..."
Without the silver armor that he was proud of outside the scarlet cloth, the commander of the three armies of the Zhao Kingdom and the young military god of Zhongzhou stood quietly in front of Bai Qige, with a weathered and tired look on his face, a look of longing and distress on his face, and tender eyes.
Yi Chenjing left the quiet cell to brother and sister Bai Haocheng and Bai Qige, and quietly retreated to a distance by himself. He knew very well how deep feelings Bai Qige had for her relatives. In order to protect the Bai family, she did not hesitate to marry as a substitute, and under his torture
The reason why she fights so hard is to meet her family again one day. It can be said that what Bai Qige cherishes most in the world is her family. If she wants to protect them, she will risk everything without hesitation.
Yi Chenjing didn't need to think about why Bai Haocheng came. Since someone tried every possible means to create the illusion that Bai Qige had surrendered to the enemy and treason, and framed and encouraged Ye Huawan to rob the prisoner, then it was completely unreasonable to privately inform the Bai family and let Bai Haocheng come in a hurry.
It is reasonable to hope that Bai Haocheng, the surrendered general, would revolt in anger, making Bai Qige completely the sinner who started the war, and then he would be further trapped in a dilemma, becoming a conflict between the rebels and the Emperor Yao.
A choice must be made, but no matter which side he chooses, the poor prince will suffer heavy losses.
The depth of the plot is truly terrifying.
"Did the second brother come here under the instigation of others? You shouldn't have come here. The Bai family has military power but they are the guardians of the country. Emperor Yao is more wary of the second brother than anyone else. It's easy for him to come here so recklessly.
The Bai family has brought danger." Looking at the sparsely stubbled Baihao City, Bai Qige felt mixed with joy and sorrow. She obviously wanted to throw herself into the arms of her dearest people and tell her grievances, but what she said was still dissuasion after clearly distinguishing the pros and cons.
Bai Haocheng stroked Bai Qige's thick hair on top of her head, gently scraped her cheek with his other hand, and whispered as softly as to a child: "It's my second brother's fault for letting you live alone in a foreign country. Let's go home right now."
In the deep palace and the heavenly prison, the emperor's orders are as strong as the mountain. How can he leave just by saying a word? Bai Haocheng's resolute expression was too obvious, so Bai Qige guessed what he was thinking at once, shook his head, his eyes were firm and bright: "Second brother, it's better to
Bring back everyone who is ambushed outside, I will not leave here whether alive or dead."
"Silly girl, do you think your second brother doesn't know what you're thinking?" Bai Haocheng sighed and held Bai Qige's cold hands tightly, "Protecting your home and country is not what you should do, you just need to protect yourself - Yao
If the emperor wants to punish you, let him do it. If the two sides go to war, the Zhao Kingdom’s three armies may not lose. I will protect you no matter what."
"Absolutely not! Why is Second Brother so impulsive? Now that Yaoguo has unified Zhongzhou, its strength is different from before. It should not be underestimated. Even if Second Brother, you are like a god with your troops, you can't stop the army from suppressing the situation. King Min is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. Once a war breaks out, it will be inevitable.
Will I ask for mercy from the distant country? Will my second brother still be able to hold the military power in his hands? I have already caused the Zhao country to become a vassal state, and if I have to displace the people of Zhao country and make their lives miserable, I really cannot bear the crime.
"
Who wouldn't be able to see the most superficial level of interest? Bai Qige knew that Bai Haocheng's impulse was natural, and Bai Haocheng also understood that Bai Qige's concerns were reasonable. They were just fighting for each other and the people they cherished.
Time passed little by little, and Bai Qige's persistence made Bai Haocheng more and more anxious. Seeing that Bai Qige was not moved at all, in desperation, he desperately took the thin and petite body into his arms.
"Xun Xi, why don't you understand that I don't care about the righteousness of the family and the country, and I don't care whether the Zhao Kingdom will perish or not, and whether the Bai family's reputation will be ruined. I just want you to live. As far as I'm concerned,
The most important thing in the world is you!" Under the frowning eyebrows, his almost crazy eyes were filled with pain.
The name that was so far away that no one had recalled it for many years made Bai Qige lose consciousness for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she was pressed against a chest that was wider than Yi Chenjing's. Thick long fingers pressed against her chin, causing her head to tilt up slightly, and her lips were warm and moist.
.
Suddenly my mind went blank.
He is her biological brother, but he is...kissing her?
The gently closed eyes were so close that one could see the slight trembling of the eyelashes and the gray hair on the young general's temples. But what did that have to do with her? They were brothers and sisters. She only remembered this. Wasn't this kiss already?
Is it more than the relationship that a brother and sister should have?
Suddenly pushing away Bai Haocheng who was entangled in front of him, Bai Qige retreated in panic, huddled in a small corner like a frightened little animal.
The remaining warmth on his lips was still there. When Bai Haocheng woke up from the reckless chaos and realized what he had done, the eyes in the corner had lost their trustful luster. He was stunned for a long time, and the monster roaring in his heart still refused to rest. Bai Haocheng looked at the man who tried his best to avoid him.
Bai Qige suddenly felt tired.
He no longer wants to pretend or hide anymore. He has been suffering and tired for so many years and has had enough.
Want to tell her how much he loves her.
"Come home with me, reminisce about the past, and go back to our home." Bai Haocheng raised his hand and stretched out to the panicked woman in the corner. Bai Haocheng's smile was relieved but bitter, "As long as you are willing, I don't care what others say, even if I bear infamy for you.
It doesn't matter, I will protect you to the end of the world, until I die."
All he got was a hasty shake of his head.
Some words, once spoken, will become a sharp blade, enough to cut off the strongest relationship in the world. When Bai Haocheng realized the horror of the secret being shattered, the things he wanted to protect were irreversible.
"An Xunxi has died a long time ago. I am Bai Qige." After a long stalemate, Bai Qige calmed down. She avoided the eyes that were somewhat similar to hers, hugged her shoulders and shook her head desperately, "Go back, second brother, protect Bai Qige for me.
Family, take good care of your father and mother, you are the brother I respect most in my life and will always be."
Other than that, there is no other possibility.
Things have developed to this point, how can Bai Haocheng give up? Now that the secret is broken, there is no need for him to find various reasons as excuses. Dropping his sword and throwing it on the ground, Bai Haocheng retreated to another corner of the cell and stood still, his voice
His tone has returned to calmness: "Okay, if you don't leave, I will stay with you and wait to die with you."
"Stop making trouble..." Bai Qige arched her body and slowly slid to the ground, her voice getting weaker and weaker.
She really didn't know what to do. The world had been turned upside down and what she believed in had changed. It was so chaotic and chaotic that it would be better to die cleanly.
"Are you not done talking yet?" The person who broke the awkward situation was Yi Chenjing. He hurriedly walked over and looked at the sword on the ground, then approached Bai Qige as if he had found nothing. "Come here, I have something to say to you."
Using the last of her strength to walk out of the corner, Bai Qige deliberately did not look at the silent Bai Haocheng. Just as she was approaching Yi Chenjing, a gust of wind suddenly passed by her ears, followed by a sharp pain in the back of her head. Her eyes went dark and she fell into Yi Chenjing's arms.
Wanli. Bai Haocheng didn't expect that Yi Chenjing would take action to knock Bai Qige unconscious. Just as he was about to rush forward to question, his arms suddenly sank, and it was Yi Chenjing who stuffed Bai Qige into his arms.
"Take her away."
In the dark death cell, the almost commanding tone was as calm as dead water.
