The eye sockets on the haggard face were sunken, perhaps because of the unrecovered injury, and the face that should have been full of energy was dull. He stared straight at Bai Qige, his Adam's apple moved slightly, but he couldn't say anything else.
For a moment, Bai Qige thought it was his hallucination. Yi Chen should be packing his things in the Yaojun camp and preparing to evacuate. How could he appear in front of him? But his figure and expression were so real. He was there, visible.
, can be heard, but only a short distance away, within reach.
"Did the prince come here secretly?" Ning Xizui was also distracted for a moment. After confirming that the man in front of him was not an illusion, he let go of Bai Qige and took half a step to the side without leaving a trace. However, he did not dare to let go of Bai Qige's hand for fear of letting go.
Will he be powerless and collapse?
The three people stood face to face in the courtyard. Qiao Erhe looked around secretly outside the door. He felt that the situation seemed a bit awkward. He racked his brains to find a way to smooth things over. Unexpectedly, Ning Xizui had already solved the embarrassing dilemma before him.
"The prince came just in time. Miss Bai's cold has broken out again. I'm going to ask where the medicine is. Prince, please help Miss Bai back to the room first." After saying that, Ning Xizui left calmly, with an expression on his face as he passed by Yi Chen.
There was no change. When he walked out of the door, he knocked Qiao Erhe's head lightly or hard, "Let's go. If you peek, you will be disliked by women."
Listening to the sound of footsteps, one light and one heavy, fading away outside the hospital, Yi Chen moved his lips and wanted to speak. After thinking about it, he was filled with thoughts that he had prepared but nowhere to go.
"You shouldn't come here." Bai Qige leaned on the pillar in front of the house and whispered quietly.
Yi Chen's pale face made Yi Chen worried. He stepped forward and took her hand, which was cold and bone-chilling.
"I miss you." His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he finally uttered a hoarse sentence.
Yi Chen didn't know if Bai Qige understood his current mood. When he received the divorce letter that day, he was almost despairing. He had a fever and fell into a coma for several days. But since then, there has been no news from her.
"I understand, you are forced to have no choice." Yi Chen hugged Bai Qige's thin shoulders and leaned her against his chest. Yi Chen's voice was low and hoarse, "General I came here with my father's will. As you and I speculated, things happened
It's all Yi Chenxuan's fault behind the scenes. Now Yi Chenxuan is nowhere to be found, and his father has also gotten rid of control and regained control of the government. It won't be long before the inside story of this matter will be made public to the world, and your innocence can be restored.
"
"Now that things have happened, does it still make sense to say this?" Bai Qige only asked sadly without any excitement or joy.
Yi Chen was at a loss for words. He curled up his tarnished hair with his fingertips and put it down again. He mumbled a few times before speaking again: "The matter about General Bai... people can't be resurrected after death. No matter how much I say, you will still be sad about it. No matter what else.
, I just hope you can put aside your grudges. My father was controlled by Yi Chenxuan and issued wrong orders one after another. His fault is not his."
"If it's not with him, then it's with me?" After hearing Yi Chen's excuse for Emperor Yao, Bai Qige became furious and pushed him away, "The Yao army attacked, burned, killed and looted along the way, and how many people of Zhao State were displaced along the way.
, the second brother committed suicide to protect the safety of the people, but you are busy clearing the names of others! Yi Chen, have you ever thought about my father and mother, have you ever thought about the people whose families have been ruined? You, the people of the distant country, have
Life is life, isn’t it for us in Zhaoguo?!”
"I'm not saying that Zhaoguo's loss is insignificant, I just want to advise you not to hold on to these grievances. How can I go back and explain to my father when you look like this?"
"What's the explanation?" Bai Qige looked at Yi Chen coldly, her cold eyes turning the clear autumn night into a cold and desolate one.
Yi Chen's heart froze, and he was silent for a moment, but insisted on telling his purpose of coming: "The matter has been clarified, and everything that needs to be settled will be settled. After that, I will take you back."
When she lost her family and was in agony, when she took on the grievances and hatreds of a country and planned to abandon the love of her children, he said, would he take her back to a place that would only cause harm and pain? Bai Qige shook her head slowly and said,
Use his strong arms and step back step by step.
There is no going back.
Bai Qige has always attached great importance to her family. Yi Chen knows how much Bai Haocheng's death will hit her and how deep the estrangement and hatred will be. However, he does not intend to give up. He knows very well that once he lets go, this will be the end of the world.
His life will no longer be complete in this life. He took two steps forward with a sigh of relief. He originally wanted to hold Bai Qige and continue to persuade her. Unexpectedly, Bai Qige didn't give him this chance at all. He took two steps back and walked into the house and closed the door with a bang.
, actually blocked Yi Chen outside the room.
Leaning her back against the door panel and raising her head, Bai Qige seemed to be breathing easier. She exhaled loudly to prevent herself from being heartbroken and suffocated to death.
"The letter of divorce has been issued. From now on, we will never have anything to do with each other." The tone was still forced to be calm.
Outside the door, Yi Chen paused in his steps and became stiff.
He didn't even look at the divorce letter... was she serious? He raised his fingers and knocked on the door. Of course, Bai Qige wouldn't open the door for him. His arms hung down weakly, Yi Chen stood in front of the door with his head lowered, his eyes
hysteresis.
After a long moment of dead silence, Yi Chen approached with his last hope, his palm pressed tightly against the door panel, as if he could touch a familiar figure through the door panel, and his tone was so soft that it was almost coaxing.
"Qi Ge, do you still remember the agreement you made with Li'er? You promised her that you would take her for a walk outside the palace, and when her eyes healed, we would go to Qingming Mountain and Qiaojiazhai to see Fu Chu.
The place where you live with Master Qiao and others... Li'er has been waiting for you to return in the palace, as well as Ye Zi, Suyan and the others. Are you so determined to abandon everything, even them?" The voice softened faintly.
A little trembling, Bai Qige couldn't guess what Yi Chen's expression was at this time. She only knew that he was trying his best to control his emotions, just like her. Unable to wait for Bai Qige's response, Yi Chen took a deep breath: "Okay, I won't disturb you.
I just want to ask you one thing, you don’t want those promises and vows we made, right?”
"Everything in the world is unpredictable, and some changes are inevitable."
Bai Qige answered simply without any hesitation.
It was suddenly quiet outside the door, and even his breathing could no longer be heard. Resisting the urge to open the door, Bai Qige slowly slid to the ground leaning against the door panel, staring at the simple carved tables and chairs in the corner. If they moved,
The tears in her eyes couldn't stop falling, and her eyes could no longer bear so much sourness.
Walk with him, watch him inherit the throne, watch him rule the world, face whatever happens together, and raise a pair of children and a family for a lifetime.
Those promises are actually just one sentence.
Together, forever.
Now, broken promises hurt feelings, and vows have become empty.
Once upon a time, Bai Qige regarded tears as a sign of weakness, but when she was reborn as the third young lady of the Bai family, when she had a family and loved ones who were willing to accompany her life and death, she realized that tears were not weakness, but more of longing.
, is a step back, is a perfection.
Put away those attachments that cannot be forgotten even in three lifetimes and seven lifetimes. His and her paths intersect but cannot overlap. He has his world and his feudal empire that he has no choice in, while she has her precarious family and her
Responsibilities that cannot be abandoned, only by stepping back and withdrawing from each other's lives can they go on without pain, forget each other, and fulfill each other.
Even if most of my heart is lost.
"Chen..." She slowly turned around and pressed her side face against the door in the darkness. Bai Qige couldn't see if Yi Chen was still outside. She just wanted to call his name softly like this, imagining that his palm was right across the door.
The door panel was pressed tightly against her, so it was as if her cheek was being held in his hand, and in his palm, it felt warm, gentle and overflowing with memories.
"When you have thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, as long as you still think of me in your free time, that will be enough." Quietly close your eyes and let your tears vent, listening to the footsteps outside the door fading away, weak and misty.
Farewell tonight, I will never see you again, alive or dead.
The moonlight is cold and ruthless. It never turns bright and bright due to the sadness of separation in the world. The sound of the wind is mixed with the slumped heartbeat and blows into the distance. Maybe someone heard it, so I stood in silence outside the city, waiting for the lost person to appear.
.
Clearly seeing Ning Xizui waiting in front, Yi Chen walked by as if he had not seen him, and was no longer as proud as before. Ning Xizui did not chase him, but stood there with his arms folded, his tone as calm as if he was talking to himself.
Said: "Ning originally thought that His Highness the Crown Prince was a very persistent person, but now it seems that he is nothing more than that."
Yi Chen stopped and did not turn around, but quietly clenched his fingers.
"I only ask you to help protect her. You'd better not do anything unnecessary."
Ning Xizui shrugged noncommittally. In fact, he did not ignore the murderous intent that suddenly flashed in Yi Chen's eyes when he appeared just now. When he hugged Bai Qige, she did not avoid it. Although they didn't interact much, they were good at it.
Ning Xizui, who knows people, has long seen that Yi Chen has a desire for monopoly that is far beyond ordinary people, whether it is power or prestige, especially for the things he likes. Even if Yi Chen entrusts others to take care of him, it does not mean that he will give it away.
meaning.
To put it simply, Yi Chen was blaming him for being "offensive".
"Indeed, Miss Bai is very strong. Even after encountering such a disaster, she still did not give up her will to live. Instead, she shouldered responsibilities that others did not dare to touch. But she is a woman after all, and she will be tired and want to rely on someone.
In the absence of His Royal Highness, Ning felt it was his duty to become Miss Bai's pillar of support." Ning Xi's drunken eyes were like clear springs, and compared with the twinkling stars, she seemed calm, calm and calm.
"What a high-sounding reason for being a close friend and a confidant!" Yi Chen sneered, turned around and glared angrily, "Ning Xizui, listen carefully, no matter what happens, no one can take my place! Now!
I can't convince her, but one day I will make Qi Ge change her mind. Even if she gives up a thousand or ten thousand times, I will not give up this life. She can only be my wife!"
Yi Chen's anger was a bit sudden and unreasonable, but Ning Xizui ignored it and just looked at him with an indifferent gaze, speaking clearly and forcefully every word.
"If Your Highness can do your best, if you can't..." After a moment's pause, his jade-like eyes lowered slightly, with a ripple of determination, "The only person who can make Miss Bai safe and happy is
