She had long been accustomed to Yi Chenjing's indifferent treatment, but Bai Qige couldn't handle the sudden concern. The sable cloak covered her body to block the wind and snow, and also blocked her eyes that she thought could see everything clearly.
Does he hate her or not?
"Why are you so stunned? Go back quickly before it gets dark." Yi Chenjing pushed Bai Qige, but the force was very small, just urging.
Bai Qige did not move, but took off her cloak and handed it to Yi Chenjing. Her serious expression could not be ignored: "Yi Chenjing, do we have to be suspicious of each other like this? No matter what the final conclusion is, why can't we be honest with each other before the answer is revealed?"
Because she had been watching silently, seeing him struggling in the whirlpool of intrigues, seeing him exhausted in the intrigues, so she was even more moved by the gentleness and kindness that Yi Chenjing showed occasionally. That was the real him, and she was moved by it.
A man who cannot be hated at all.
"As long as you don't embarrass the Bai family, I can help you unconditionally until the end. The premise is that you trust me, just like you trust Zhan Ting." Bai Qige didn't know if his words would be laughed at by him. Maybe he would accept it, maybe he would
She will be sarcastic, who knows? She just wants to say what is in her heart. The endless suspicion is too tiring. She is tired, and so is he.
With a cold sigh, Bai Qige put the cloak into Yi Chenjing's hand: "I don't know how others judge you. I only believe what I see with my own eyes. Your filial piety to Concubine Jing, your filial piety to Sister Su Yan and Su Yan."
Rao's care, loyalty to Zhan Ting... There is no reason, Yi Chenjing, there is no reason for you to be a heinous bad guy, can't you just put aside your past grudges and start over? Just treat Xiao Yingge as dead, standing in front of you.
It’s a stranger, a person who can give you advice, this is not allowed?”
The bright moon hangs high in the clear night sky, and the silver moonlight shines down, reflecting Bai Qige's thin cheeks extremely clearly.
At that moment, Yi Chenjing was confused, or in other words, shaken.
It would be great if she was not the culprit who killed Hong Xiao, if she was just an ordinary queen from a famous family, who trusted her, got close to her, and planned the country with the woman who knew him best in the world.
"I..." After hesitating for a long time, Bai Qige's thin lips, as pale as water, opened slightly, and Bai Qige's heart wandered along with Yi Chenjing's deep voice.
However, he could not say the answer. When he finally made up his mind to take a deep breath and planned to answer, an unexpected change suddenly occurred.
With a sharp roar and a long roar, the air-piercing arrow stuck close to Yi Chenjing's arm, penetrated the cloak and was nailed to the ground. There was a snapping sound from the treetops a hundred feet away. Bai Qige heard the sound and ran away, only to see a corner of her clothes quickly disappearing in the
Behind the courtyard wall, a long bow lay quietly on the snow-covered ground.
Being followed was a common occurrence, but this was the first time they encountered a secret attack on the two of them. Bai Qige was about to chase her as soon as she moved, but behind, Yi Chenjing hurriedly stretched out her hand and pulled the frail woman back to her.
The people around me were full of anger: "Are you looking for death?!"
"Why don't you chase? You managed to escape this time. What about next time? What about next time?" Bai Qige shook off Yi Chenjing's hand and took a big step back, her brows furrowed with impatience. "Before, Concubine Jing almost had a close call.
You were killed because you were too careless. Do you know how many people inside and outside the palace want your life? No one around you is safe unless you find the culprit hiding behind the scenes who is ready to give you a fatal blow at any time.
Everything you do is in vain!"
Yi Chenjing, who came back from the loud rebuttal, became even more angry, but the temperature in her eyes gradually became colder: "Yes, no one around me is safe, so you are in such a hurry to leave, right? You keep telling me to trust you.
, have you ever believed in me? How many times have I given you a chance and how many times have you let me down? Let me tell you clearly, the person who shot the arrow just now was Su Jinyan, your most trusted subordinate. You are great, you can do anything.
If you’re not afraid, then why don’t you go find him? Find your so-called culprit to reason or resolve all disputes!”
"Why do you only doubt him? Just because he is stronger than you in every way and blocks your way to usurp power?" Bai Qige lowered her voice with a sneer, the rare warmth a moment ago dissipated, "He was sent by him
What can people explain? If Su Jinyan wanted to kill you, would he have missed it even at such a close distance? You are not the only one who can't help it. Comparing your feelings to your own, just because you think about hurting him all the time, you think he wants to hurt you too. I
What I hate the most is people who think they know everything, they are simply stupid.”
The facts are in front of us. Su Jinyan, who can follow the two people without being discovered, is by no means an ordinary person. She didn't shoot an arrow from a relatively far distance but failed to hit the target. Instead, she passed between the two people more accurately. Very quickly.
Obviously, the other party's purpose was not to hurt or kill anyone, but just to prevent Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing from getting closer.
After a heated argument, both of them became silent. In the silence, they tried hard to suppress their anger and at the same time, they quickly sorted out their thoughts.
Bai Qige bit her lower lip and said nothing. The unknown emotions that had surged up from the moment Yi Chenjing said that the person behind the attack was Su Jinyan made her very unhappy. Su Jinyan was Yi Chenxuan's subordinate, but Yi Chenxuan had clearly promised her
I would never do anything to hurt my siblings. Is even this statement false?
She can no longer tell who is real and who is fake, or maybe Yi Chenxuan and Yi Chenjing, the two men she has the most contact with, are both lying to her.
Such a heartbreaking speculation.
"Forgot what I just said." Picking up the cloak and returning it to Yi Chenjing, Bai Qige suddenly lost interest and no longer wanted to try to communicate with him. With Yi Chenxuan between them, what else could be said clearly?
?
The two people who were very friendly when they left Lianchenxuan returned one after another. Their faces were not very good. Concubine Jing and Suyan Surao looked at each other and didn't know whether they should persuade them or not. Seeing that Bai Qige wanted to take a rest early on the excuse of being tired, Yi Chen
Jing followed silently like a servant. She wanted to speak several times but stopped feeling gloomy. She didn't stop until Huixi lived outside Bai Qige's room - she couldn't stop staying. Bai Qige stood in front of the door, even the threshold was blocked.
Refuse to let him enter.
"I'm going to rest, please come back."
"oh."
Yi Chenjing responded but remained motionless, blocking the door and blocking the moonlight.
"Yi Chenjing," Bai Qige was so angry that she wanted to laugh, but had no choice but to raise her voice by three points, "I said, I want to rest."
This time, she finally made some move. Yi Chenjing changed her hand holding the door frame from left to right, with a dull look on her face. Yu Che in the room couldn't help but snicker. She simply ran to Bai Qige and joked: "Your Highness, you want to whisper something."
?I think I’d better go out first to avoid being scolded in my mind.”
"Stay inside." Bai Qige raised her foot and kicked Yu Che back in the side of the leg. Yu Che entered the bedroom with a deliberate ouch, covering his mouth and laughing softly. The maid who originally had a huge opinion of Yi Chenjing
I don’t know what kind of demon she is possessed by, and she has become more and more unruly recently. Bai Qige can only stare at her and pretend to be authoritative. She then has to deal with Yi Chenjing who is convulsed: "If you have anything to say, you have to say it or leave quickly, otherwise you are here
Just stand at the door until tomorrow morning."
After saying this, he made a move to close the door. Yi Chenjing hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it back, and pulled Bai Qige back to the door with the other hand. After hesitating for a long time, he made up his mind to speak.
"What I said just now was too harsh, don't forget it in your heart. During this time, I have been very busy with the expedition, and I haven't had time to tell you many things. I want to have a good talk with you when I have free time, and
It’s not like we just make noise when we meet.”
When she wanted to be frank and honest, he hesitated. When she gave up and was too lazy to care, he started to think about it again. Bai Qige didn't understand whether Yi Chenjing was too cautious or was too slow to react. Talking to him was worse than playing the piano to a cow.
Tired. However, his intention to ease the relationship is already a great improvement. Compared with the harsh and endless torture he had when he first came to the distant country, it is not an exaggeration to ask her to burn incense and worship Buddha in the current situation.
"We'll talk about it after you're done." Bai Qige also spoke softly and swung her hand to the side. Yi Chenjing took her hand and slammed it against the door frame.
No matter how good your skills are, you will still feel the pain. Yi Chenjing retracted his hand in pain, and when he looked at the woman with a dull expression, his face added a hint of helplessness: "I don't want to argue with you about Yi Chenxuan. The person who shoots the arrow is
If it's not Su Jinyan, just ask Zhan Ting to find out. It's not just a day or two for him to hide around Lianchenxuan. The reason why Xiao Yu was placed in Huixi Residence by Zhan Ting is to keep you safe when we are away."
"I'm safe without you."
Automatically ignoring Bai Qige's sarcasm, Yi Chenjing lowered her voice, her expression suddenly serious: "Whether you can listen to it or not, I still want to remind you again, stay away from Yi Chenxuan, he is not someone you can trust for life -
It has nothing to do with the conflict between me and him, many things are not as simple as you see."
No one can tell whether it is simple or not. Whether it is the seventh prince who keeps a low profile or the fifth prince who is wise and protective, in short, no one in this palace is clean and transparent. The only blame is that she was unlucky and got involved in this incident by accident.
In a dispute over imperial power that has nothing to do with her.
"I'm tired. I'll talk to you tomorrow if you have anything to say. By the way, you haven't told me about Zhan Ting and Li'er yet. If you have time, come back early. Concubine Jing and Sister Suyan won't be able to eat well or sleep well while you're away.
good."
"If I don't come back, you can come to the imperial study to find me. Didn't I give you a pass?" Seeing Bai Qige patting her waist, Yi Chenjing nodded, "Father is an open-minded and informal person and has never restricted the movement of his female family members.
, just be careful on the road."
Bai Qige suddenly realized that the dispute earlier seemed to have been in vain. After going around and around, the two of them were back to the original point. They were saying caring words intentionally or unintentionally, but they were both suspicious and alienated. The feeling of estrangement continued unabated.
The frustration caused Wei Wei to sigh, and she finally took the initiative to break the deadlock, but it turned out that the two of them had not yet reached the point where they could trust each other and let go of their past grudges. She was still going to walk on her own, while guarding against each other.
While watching him, you also need to use your brain and energy for him.
After standing in the wind for a long time, her body was almost completely cold. Yi Chenjing looked at the holes in her cloak that had been shot by sharp arrows and couldn't help but smile bitterly. She muttered a pity and turned away. Bai Qige thought he was leaving and took a step forward.
When he was about to push the door open, Yi Chenjing suddenly turned around and the two of them bumped into each other.
The howling of the cold wind disappeared from my ears, and only the whispers were barely audible.
