Bai Qige originally planned to see Yi Chenjing again the next morning before she left, but she didn't expect that after falling asleep, it was already dawn when she opened her eyes. The fatigue on her body was not relieved yet, and her heart became depressed.
Yi Chenjing asked his servant to tell him that he was free at noon. Looking at the table full of lunch, he had no appetite. Bai Qige simply explained it to Concubine Jing and took the pass token to the royal study room, hoping to catch up with Yi Chenjing's free time.
Let's finish all the things that we didn't have time to talk about yesterday, and save the two of us from going around and around trying to untie the knot in our hearts.
Halfway through, she heard someone saying hello, and Bai Qige stopped. It was Jin Zhaoyi who came from the other direction with the maid, and asked the maid to go back to the palace first. Jin Zhaoyi held Bai Qige's arm, with a grateful expression on her face.
Jin: "I was just about to go to Lianchenxuan to say thanks to you. Thanks to you and Suyan for being smart that night, otherwise I would have died without a burial place."
"Jin Zhaoyi has always treated me and Sister Suyan very well. How can I say thank you for such a small thing?" Bai Qige dealt with it in a nonchalant manner. Seeing that there was no one else around, she patted her in a low voice.
Tightening Zhaoyi's arm, "This matter is strange. I was led to the back hall that day, as if someone deliberately wanted me to find the purse. Soon after, the Crown Princess brought someone over. Jin Zhaoyi was offended.
Who is this person, and why is he so vicious that he wants to frame him for the serious crime of filthy harem?"
Jin Zhaoyi didn't know that Bai Qige was pretending to be confused. She only knew that she was really being used by others, and that the target behind the scenes was herself. Bai Qige hurriedly told the truth before Bai Qige asked her deeply.
"You are my savior, not just me. If something happened that night, even His Highness the Crown Prince would not be able to escape the blame." Jin Zhaoyi suddenly stopped and turned to Bai Qige, kneeling on her knees without warning.
The sad look on his face was hidden between his eyebrows, "As long as the prince and concubine don't tell the truth, Jin Cuo will be willing to do anything!"
"Jin Zhaoyi, get up quickly, you are going to shorten my life severely." Bai Qige hurriedly helped Jin Zhaoyi up, disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Even if Jin Zhaoyi didn't ask for her help, she would still keep the secret. She, Bai Qige, is not a person who repays kindness with revenge. When she was bullied before, Jin Zhaoyi wholeheartedly helped her and protected her without asking for anything in return. How could she bite back the secret?
?Jin Zhaoyi also understood this and came to her to tell her the truth. This kneeling was just to win sympathy and trust to the greatest extent. It turned out that those close ties could never be regained.
The palace is as deep as the sea, and people's hearts gradually change. No wonder everyone puts on a thick mask to protect themselves, and wave goodbye sincerely.
"What Jin Zhaoyi means is that you and His Highness the Crown Prince really...?"
Jin Zhaoyi took a deep breath, took something out of her sleeve and handed it to Bai Qige: "This is a white jade folding fan given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the purse was embroidered by me as a return gift. It's hard to find true love in the deep palace, so I won't hide it.
You said, I have never expected the emperor's favor and grace, and I can occasionally meet the prince until I die of old age, then I will be content in this life."
In the deep silence of the palace, it is hard to find true love.
Eight words, how many white-haired palace concubines made a bitter cry. Emperor Yao is already in his sixties, while Jin Zhaoyi is only in her early twenties. How can the husband and wife love each other with such a disparity in age? Looking at the three thousand harem, how many of them are not?
The emperor took possession of his body but locked his heart alone?
"No one is willing to let go of the word love." Bai Qige didn't know if she was talking about it for Jin Zhaoyi or for herself. She just felt empty in her heart and suddenly thought of two touches and three points.
Similar figure.
Seeing Bai Qige's emotional expression, Jin Zhaoyi knew that she would not talk to outsiders easily, and she finally let go of her worries.
"On the surface, he is a prince, ranking below one person and above ten thousand people, and his brilliance is unparalleled. But who would have thought about his helplessness?" He sighed and frowned, and his pretty pink face was stained with sadness.
"Chen Yu was born in the wrong child. What the world wants is what he doesn't want. The throne and the country are nothing to him. He just wants to immerse himself in the mountains and rivers and enjoy himself. He will never leave him till death.
.When I first met him in the past, I could never forget his romantic and elegant attitude of insisting on drinking wine and splashing ink. Even when he committed the great precept and committed himself to stealing, Huan still didn’t realize that it was a mistake. Even now, if I weren’t worried about him being implicated, I would rather
Be a loving couple with him for one day, and you can throw away all the glory and wealth in this life, even this life is not worth pitying."
The seemingly weak Jin Zhaoyi was so brave and courageous, which was far beyond expectation. Suddenly, her heart moved, and Bai Qige whispered: "Even so, why don't you persuade the prince to give up the throne? Then you two can leave the palace and live in seclusion in the mountains.
, From now on, heaven and earth will be your home, and you will be free and happy for the rest of your life.”
"Who doesn't want to stay away from intrigues? But the position of prince is difficult to get, and it is even harder to shirk it. Even if the emperor is not furious about this, in what capacity should I leave the prince? Zhaoyi? The emperor's woman?
** is the most abominable thing. I can’t imagine how much vicious abuse I will receive when my affair with him is exposed. Rather than ruining his reputation, I might as well just change it secretly, or at worst risk my life to save his reputation.”
Bai Qige was speechless.
Indeed, as Jin Zhaoyi said, it seemed extremely simple for the prince to voluntarily give up his position, but in fact there were many disasters hidden in it, and it was not as simple as she thought at the moment.
It seems that the only way to shake the crown prince's position is from other aspects. Now that it is known that the prince Yi Chenyu has no intention of having power, it can be said to be greatly advantageous. At least the resistance from him will be reduced to a minimum, and the remaining obstacles are only...
The Fifth Prince Yi Chenxuan.
No matter what, will those two people become enemies in the end? Silently smiled bitterly, the situation she least wanted to see was inevitable. Bai Qige knew that sooner or later she would have to make a choice.
Yi Chenxuan, or Yi Chenjing.
The two women, each with their own concerns, walked slowly, and trivial human words from nowhere reached their ears, vaguely mixed with the sound of a woman crying.
"This voice sounds a bit familiar." Jin Zhaoyi looked around in confusion. He glanced at two figures not far away and opened his eyes wide. He gently pulled Bai Qige's sleeves, "Look, they are from Yaoheng Hall."
Mrs. Qi."
Yi Chenxuan's concubine? Follow Jin Zhaoyi's expectations. Bai Qige took a breath.
Wearing gorgeous clothes that look like dancing butterflies, her graceful figure is the envy of countless concubines, and her exquisite jade-carved appearance is even more impressive and is praised by all the princes. The woman who has engraved it into his mind with just a few glances will never miss it.
That person was indeed Mrs. Qi, the fifth prince's concubine who was pregnant with Liujia.
Besides Mrs. Qi, there was another person there. She had a tall and tall figure, and the simple jade-colored gown made her look very elegant. However, when she was chatting with Mrs. Qi, she could clearly see that she was impatient and quite indifferent.
.
Memories emerged in her mind, Bai Qige couldn't hold back her surprise, and the man's name blurted out.
"Su Jinyan!"
One is the concubine of the fifth prince, and the other is the retainer of the fifth prince. What kind of drama are these two people playing here?
Perhaps he was startled by the low voice, and the face of his handsome face, which was more delicate than a woman's, darkened. He turned around and waved his sleeves, and a ray of light went straight to Bai Qige and Jin Zhaoyi behind the tree.
Bai Qige, who had no time to escape, groaned and felt severe pain in her left shoulder. A glass bead fell from its body and rolled far away. It was just a bead for decoration. Unexpectedly, it could turn into a weapon and hurt people in Su Jinyan's hands.
He is quite ruthless, which shows that he is very strong in martial arts.
Seeing Bai Qige being injured by Su Jinyan, Jin Zhaoyi frowned and walked around: "You are outrageous. It is forbidden to carry sharp weapons to hurt people when walking in the palace, and you openly hurt the prince and concubine. Do you know your guilt?"
Su Jinyan didn't seem to be afraid, and raised a sneer from the corner of her mouth: "Where's the sharp weapon? If you two hadn't been sneaking around and peeking, you wouldn't have been hurt."
"I'm fine." Jin Zhaoyi wanted to come forward to argue but was stopped by Bai Qige. She glanced at the panicked Mrs. Qi. Bai Qige straightened up and walked to the front, "I haven't seen Sister Qi for a long time. Are you encountering some difficulties?"
Are you done? Why are you crying like this?"
"No, it's nothing..." Mrs. Qi hurriedly wiped away her tears, but her pale face and red eyes could not be wiped away, her voice was trembling and hoarse, and her gorgeous undershirt was a little messy.
Just now, Bai Qige vaguely heard Mrs. Qi begging Su Jinyan from a distance, but Su Jinyan kept ignoring her. Logically speaking, a prince's concubine couldn't ask for anything from a retainer. The relationship between the two seemed unusual.
Jin Zhaoyi supported Mrs. Qi who was staggering. Su Jinyan glanced at Bai Qige and turned to leave without even the most basic courtesy. However, Bai Qige had no time to pursue this. Su Jinyan's look made her shudder - there was nothing wrong with her blue eyes.
, the voice is right, the figure is right, everything is exactly the same as the mysterious man who saved her at the school military field that day, but the feeling in those eyes has changed, it is no longer slightly indifferent concern, but cold.
, almost as cold as hatred.
Bai Qige was a little confused. Let's not say whether the mysterious person was Su Jinyan. She thought she had never offended anyone. This was the first time she talked to Su Jinyan. Where did his hatred come from? Also, since he hated her, why did he do that that day?
Want to help again?
"Please..." Madam Qi, who was in a state of despair, followed Su Jinyan's figure with her eyes until she disappeared. She was still mumbling incomprehensibly. It seemed that she didn't even have the strength to walk.
"I'll take you back to Yaohing Hall," Jin Zhaoyi said.
The fifth prince's concubine was supposed to be sent to Yao Hedian, but for some reason, as soon as she heard the words "Yao Hedian", Mrs. Qi's face immediately changed, and her trance turned into panic. Her face was paler than before, and even her voice was dull.
Almost eerie.
"No, no, I won't go back to the Yao He Palace...Jin Zhaoyi, the princess, I beg you, please take me away, I don't want to go back to the Yao He Palace! Don't send me back! I beg you!"
Jin Zhaoyi was caught off guard and was so frightened that she retracted her hand. Mrs. Qi lost her strength and collapsed on the ground. She rolled and crawled to Bai Qige's side, still pleading hysterically.
What's so scary about where you live?
Bai Qige and Jin Zhaoyi looked at each other, confused. During the hesitation, Mrs. Qi's voice gradually dropped, and Bai Qige's heart suddenly sank when she reached out to help her.
The ground was blood red.
"Save my child..."
With just this sentence, Bai Qige immediately made up her mind to take Mrs. Qi back to Lianchenxuan first.
