Temporary replacement? In other words, one day he will really sleep underground, next to Princess Hongxiao.
Deep love, life and death commitment, even the future king who has the ambition to unify the world cannot escape the web of love, for whom he lives and for whom he dies.
She will never have such a person who can depend on her for life and death.
"Let's talk about business, it's getting late." Bai Qige took off her piccolo and put it in her belt. Bai Qige changed the topic, "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Now that Mrs. Qi has defected to you, it will be beneficial to you. If you can find out the weakness of the fifth prince from her,
You can just go ahead and do it. Jin Zhaoyi said that the prince has no intention of succeeding to the throne. Just give the emperor a reason to depose the prince. With the position of prince, you can get everything you want at your fingertips."
Yi Chenjing also understood that he should not dwell too much on the past, and quickly calmed down and stood in front of the couch: "It's easy to say, but not so easy to do. Yi Chenxuan tried his best to suggest that I overthrow the prince first and then fight with him, but in fact the biggest
The obstacle is him. Even if Mrs. Qi tells us the inside story, very little will be known. For a woman who is not even allowed to give birth to a child, do you think Yi Chenxuan will let her know too much?
"
"Of course Mrs. Qi cannot know a lot, but through her we can discover a more important person——"
With a flash of light in his eyes, Yi Chenjing immediately guessed Bai Qige's thoughts.
"Su Jinyan!" the two said in unison.
Bai Qige nodded: "He was the one who was sent to Lianchenxuan to follow, and he was the one who had a higher status than the prince's concubines. Su Jinyan must be the fifth prince's confidant, and she is important enough for the fifth prince not to consider continuing their relationship.
Someone close to you. If Su Jinyan tells everything he knows about the fifth prince, it will be extremely simple to prevent the fifth prince from opposing you. It just depends on whether you have the strength."
"What strength?" Yi Chenjing frowned in confusion.
As if to avenge her forcibly taking off her clothes just now, Bai Qige raised her eyebrows and her eyes seemed to be smiling: "What do you mean by strength? Since Su Jinyan is a male favorite, he must like men. Don't you want to compete with the fifth prince?
Don't you care, don't you care about competing in one more aspect? Or do you know that you are not as good as the fifth prince and lack charm and confidence?"
Yi Chenjing was stunned for a moment, and it took him a moment to understand what Bai Qige was referring to. He was stunned for a long time, but his face that was deliberately set ended in laughter.
"What are you thinking about every day? I'm not interested in men, and I won't provoke a male favorite for this kind of thing. Sometimes I have to be grateful that I was sent to Zhao Kingdom to serve as a hostage, otherwise I really don't know who I am now
How far will it become corrupted?"
"The fifth prince didn't establish a concubine or leave any heirs for the sake of a man's favor. You are no better than him." Bai Qige skillfully changed the topic to another place, "Sister Suyan is virtuous and gentle, and she is devoted to you. What are you going to do?
To neglect her like this and keep her as a concubine until she dies in depression? How is it different from the fifth prince to be so unfeeling?"
According to the laws of Dayao, a prince can have one concubine, two wives, and nine concubines. Most of the princes are married and given concubines by Emperor Yao, but the two wives can be chosen by themselves. Women are jealous, especially princes who come from rich and famous families in the palace.
Concubines, except for Bai Qige, Yi Chenjing has never seen a prince or concubine who actively encouraged her husband to marry.
Should we say that she was too stupid to plan for herself, or should we say that she was too smart and put herself in the lowest position from the beginning?
Slowly sitting on the other side of the bed, Yi Chenjing propped up her forehead and looked at Bai Qige: "Actually, you don't have to care about the title of the prince and concubine. I will send Suyan Surao out of the palace sooner or later. With you here, I don't have to be forced by my mother to continue.
Marry other women."
Because all his deep love died with Hongxiao, he didn't want to get involved with any woman again. Bai Qige was his best shield.
It's just a shield.
Bai Qige smiled lightly as she faced the empty desk. Her smile seemed to see into the future, and she could see the tragedies and comedies that were about to take place.
"Have you forgotten our agreement? Either die or disappear. One day I will leave Lianchenxuan and Dayao, and your life will continue in this dirty palace. I can stand firmly by your side then.
, I don’t care if you are good or evil, only Sister Suyan.”
"Who said you would disappear?" Her heart sank inexplicably, and an indescribable impulse made Yi Chenjing stand up and tightly grasp the slender wrist that still had shallow scars.
Don't want her to leave.
He doesn't know since when, the woman who once hated him to the bone has caused him to care about her day and night, with unexplainable feelings. He wants to see her, listen to her talk, and quarrel with her over boring things.
, wanting to gradually get in touch with her reality amid the endless mutual suspicion.
Maybe, because she is the only one who understands him best.
"I promised you to let go of the Bai family. As long as you didn't kill Hong Xiao, I would let you go. But I never said you could leave Lianchenxuan. You are the wife of my Ming matchmaker, and my father Jinkou Yuyan
The prince and concubine who has been granted marriage, you will be by my side for the rest of your life, until you die."
Close your eyes, it's dark.
A tough and almost domineering declaration that leaves no room for error. This is Yi Chenjing, the man who shattered everything she cherished.
Bai Qige was not in the mood to guess the origin of his words. It didn't matter whether he wanted revenge or was unwilling to lose her use value. In the end, the result was the same - she only cared about one sentence, pushing everything into the abyss and completely cutting off the possibility of redemption.
Those few words.
As long as it was not you who killed Hong Hao.
When all assumptions are based on impossible conditions, what's the point of speculating?
The silence caused Yi Chenjing to get closer, and right before his eyes were those shining eyes, full of expectation and irresistible power.
"Stay with me, Qi Ge." Yi Chenjing wrapped her arms around the thin body by accident. Yi Chenjing suddenly thought that he should find an excuse for his impulsiveness, both for her and for himself. He spoke in a low voice, less enthusiastic:
"I need you. You and Zhan Ting are indispensable."
A broad embrace cannot bring warmth, and it is like falling into an ice cellar for a moment.
There was no struggle or resistance, and the arms on her waist and back were hugged tightly. Bai Qige's eyes did not move, but the luster quickly dimmed.
Zhan Ting is loyal and can protect him from thousands of swords and arrows; she is well versed in the art of war and can plan the country for him, which has the same effect. After all, she is just a chess piece, and Yi Chenxuan deceived her.
For the sake of her utilization value, Yi Chenjing also changed his attitude, all in order to get what he wanted from her. The world, dominance, or the power and status that life and death will not take away, and all she can do is go with the flow.
, exhausting all one's efforts to achieve peace for one's family.
There has never been a person who devoted his feelings to her.
"What if I killed Princess Hongxiao?"
The thin lips parted slightly, and the sound like a sigh was almost inaudible, but it was heard very clearly when it fell into the ears.
A few months ago, Yi Chenjing would have been furious. I don't know why, but now he just felt unable to respond. If Hong Xiao's death was really related to Bai Qige, he could still hate her as simply and cruelly as he did then.
Does the injury make her life worse than death? If she is not allowed to suffer a thousand times the punishment for the crime she committed, how can she be worthy of the innocent and unjust death of Hong Hao?
I let go slumped, the slight fragrance coming from my thin body disappeared quickly, and the short-term warmth disappeared without a trace.
The grudges and friendships in the world are complicated, and even those who have never experienced them have heard about them. Bai Qige is not surprised by Yi Chenjing's reaction at this moment. After all, the Red Thread is his old love that he has been infatuated with for several years. Although the temptation of the imperial power in the world is great, he can easily give up and stick to it.
It is too difficult to love and hate for many years.
Pulling away without leaving any trace, Bai Qige walked to the window. It was already dark outside, and she was very tired in her heart and body. She just wanted to have a good sleep now. Maybe there would be no Lianchenxuan and no distant place in her dream.
In the country, there would be no marriage contract that ruined her and the Bai family's reputation, and there would be no mystery that she could vaguely see the truth but had no courage to uncover.
There will be no Yi Chenjing either.
"Where are you going?" The cold wind came through the crack in the door and blew the palms of his hands cold. Yi Chenjing calmed down and saw some rugged figures at the door.
"Go back and rest."
Quickly walking to Bai Qige and closing the door, Yi Chenjing lowered her eyelids: "Ms. Qi lives in your room, where do you go to rest? It's late at night, and if you bother the servants to clean up the empty room, it will easily disturb your mother, so why don't you ask me?
It’s easy to explain. It just so happens that I have to stay up all night to write a memorial. You can sleep here tonight and go together to pay your respects to my mother tomorrow morning. This will save my mother from always blaming me for neglecting my wife and concubines."
"What's the use of trying to save face?"
Bai Qige wanted to refuse, but then she thought about what Yi Chenjing said was right. If Concubine Jing was alarmed and asked why, she was afraid that if she didn't reveal the secret of hiding Mrs. Qi, more details would be involved. She turned around and sat on the couch.
After pondering for a while, Bai Qige stood up again under Yi Chenjing's gaze, walked to the side of the desk and pulled the screen in front of the bed.
Yi Chenjing was confused: "What is this for?"
"I don't want to see you." After this sentence, there was no sound.
With a helpless smile, Bai Qige's childish behavior from time to time always made Yi Chenjing more surprised. A stubborn and strong woman like her actually had a side that few people knew, and this side was only visible to him, more or less.
A special feeling arises spontaneously.
Sitting quietly in front of the desk, immersed in business, it was already late at night after finishing the work.
Listening carefully, the sound of steady breathing came from behind the screen, which seemed like a good dream. Yi Chenjing quietly walked around the screen, and the sleeping face was not very clear under the dim light. Only the pale color that was not stained by dust was extremely conspicuous.
.
She has lost a lot of weight since entering the Royal Palace of Yaoguo.
"Qi Ge..." Wu Wuwu whispered softly, and his fingers moved between the black hair on the temples. When he touched the scar, he felt a slight pain in his heart.
After so many years of memories, they all passed away in the blink of an eye. Only she was still by his side, but her appearance had changed. The three people who were so close back then were either separated forever or were suspicious of each other. After going through so many grievances and resentments, he was still there.
Can you protect her like before?
Carefully taking out the piccolo and holding it in her hand, Yi Chenjing wondered if Bai Qige would notice. Since she had forgotten the past, she would definitely not remember or care about the piccolo.
"I never told you, this is the love token that Hongxiao asked for before returning to the distant country. From childhood to adulthood, no matter what she did, she would never forget to bring you a copy." She took the cloak and covered it with Bai Qige, always with a cold expression.
The hard-faced Yi Chenjing smiled like a flower, but she couldn't shake off her lonely look, "I'm really not as good as Yi Chenxuan, at least he is willing to give the Qi family a little bit of tenderness, and I... Hongxiao left
I will never marry anyone again, and I will be alone in this life."
