Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing appeared together for the first time to pay their respects to Concubine Jing. Concubine Jing smiled and praised her repeatedly, and rewarded her with several pieces of personal jewelry, which made Bai Qige feel very guilty.
The former beloved concubine who had gone through ups and downs did not covet glory or favor. Her only wish was to have her grandson as soon as possible. When she saw Yi Chenjing busy with official duties, she would secretly urge him to take the initiative, and even sent people to send many gifts, which made Bai Qige dumbfounded.
The "happy medicine" came to Huixiju. Seeing that the relationship between the two has changed from the initial estrangement and coldness to the current harmony and peace, the happiest person in Lianchenxuan is Concubine Jing.
Suyan was graceful and generous. Although she also regretted that she was not loved, she sincerely cared for Bai Qige. Surao, who had the same father and mother, was the complete opposite. Seeing that the imperial concubine favored Bai Qige more than herself, even Yi Chenjing
The look in Bai Qige's eyes was gentler than ever before, and the disgust in her heart grew day by day.
Surao lied about feeling unwell and left the concubine Jing's palace first. Everyone's attention was focused on Bai Qige and they didn't pay much attention to it. This made the young seventh prince's concubine even more resentful. Passing by Huixi Residence, she happened to see people drying in the courtyard.
The clothes that Bai Qige often wore, she was so angry that she picked up the stones at her feet and threw them hard, leaving a trace of dirt.
"Jealousy is the seventh sin. As a concubine, I not only resent the prince's concubine secretly, but also disrespect her privately. I don't know how the seventh prince will feel if he finds out."
Ciya's voice was soft and charming, but her tone was chillingly cold and ruthless. Surao was frightened by the sudden male voice and was at a loss. Her feet slipped and she fell to the ground with an ouch.
Gold embroidery, exquisite workmanship, gorgeous and luxurious clothes appeared in sight. Surao endured the pain in her ankle and raised her head to face the sun. She was instantly attracted by the exquisitely carved face, which was as beautiful as a scroll of the gods.
Stunned. The outline is soft but clear, the two long eyebrows are slender, the slightly raised eyelashes are thick, the slanting phoenix eyes are shining, and the thin lips evoke a seductive arc.
The most fascinating thing is those eyes, which are clear, pure, and have a gentle blue color without any impurities.
"Who are you? I have never seen you in Lianchenxuan." Curiosity overcame her fear, and Surao stood up holding on to the wall. The man had one hand behind his back, showing no intention of helping.
Surao was young, and Concubine Jing was worried that she was unsophisticated and would offend others. She was rarely allowed to go to banquets with female family members, so many people in the palace did not know her. The man in front of her was so beautiful that she forgot her jealousy and could only sigh.
, the wariness of suspicious people was reduced by most, and he actually started questioning without fear.
"You don't need to know who I am, we will see you again sooner or later." The man was still lukewarm, but what he said shocked Surao instantly, "I just ask you if you want to be the prince's concubine, and if you want Bai Qige to disappear.
If you want, I can help you."
Just as she stood firm and almost fell down again, Surao swallowed her saliva and turned blue: "Who are you? I was just upset and accidentally soiled the princess's clothes. I didn't mean to-"
"Do you know it in your heart?" He interrupted the defense impatiently. The man's temper was obviously not as good as his appearance.
Surao took a deep breath, looked around nervously, and lowered her voice as much as possible so that the other party could only hear: "How can you help me?"
The world is dangerous, and the deep palace is even more dangerous. It’s not that Surao doesn’t understand this truth, but she really wants Bai Qige to disappear. With Bai Qige here, she can’t get everything she wants. It seems that both she and Su Yan are deeply attracted by the concubine.
Yi Chenjing loves them both. However, the young concubine knows better than anyone else that her sister Suyan is too cowardly and not worth looking forward to. She can only fight for what she wants.
No matter who the stunning man in front of him is, one thing is certain that his purpose of wanting Bai Qige to disappear is the same as his own, and that's enough.
"Don't be afraid, what you need to do is very simple, just a few words. Take it, write down what you want to do here - once Bai Qige disappears, the position of the princess and concubine will definitely belong to you two sisters, do it or not.
You think about it carefully. If you have any questions, go to the back garden and put the river lanterns. I will come back to you if necessary."
Holding the letter that the man handed over, Surao was slightly dazed. When she looked up again, she could no longer find the tall figure. The mysterious and beautiful man disappeared like air.
Yi Chenjing ordered someone to tidy up an empty room for Mrs. Qi, which was next to Huixiju. Bai Qige still felt tired and sleepy. After greeting Concubine Jing, she went back to rest and did not show up until noon. In order to discuss how to deal with it as soon as possible
Regarding Mrs. Qi's matter, Yi Chenjing had no choice but to take care of it herself.
The door to the room was closed, and after three gentle knocks, it was Yu Che who opened the door.
"Is she still sleeping?" Yi Chenjing was a little surprised.
"Maybe she is too tired. Miss has been very tired these past two days. She has been sleeping since she came back this morning." Yu Che spoke softly and did not dare to let go of the volume. There was a worried look on his face, and he seemed to have a few sleeps.
Si complained, "The same goes for Your Highness. It's not like you don't know that Miss is not in good health. She was exhausted from taking care of Mrs. Qi yesterday. You still..."
Yi Chenjing didn't understand what Yu Che said at all. He only saw the little girl's face turn red and she glanced at the room with a sly look.
"What's wrong with me? I just wanted to talk to her about something..." Midway through the words, Yi Chenjing reacted suddenly and tapped Yu Che's head with her fingers, "Yu Che, don't say these words again. She doesn't like to hear it."
"How does Your Highness know that Miss doesn't like you? Miss thinks of everything for you, and her tone is a bit colder, but isn't everything that Miss does is for you, Your Highness? I wouldn't be bullied.
You work so hard, and it hurts to look at the scars all over your body. It means His Highness’s heart is made of stone, and he doesn’t feel any pity at all.”
Unexpectedly, a personal maid could be so sharp-tongued. Yi Chenjing was scolded so hard that she had no power to reply and almost ran away.
"You talk so much that you can't recite sutras for the concubine. Why are you chewing behind your back?" There was a rustling sound in the room, and Bai Qige's slightly annoyed voice sounded in a low voice.
Although the words were unpleasant, they were somewhat of a relief. Yi Chenjing hurriedly opened the door and hid in the room. He turned around and shut Yu Che out, who was still unconvinced and wanted to talk again. His face was sad: "It's worse than your mouth. You are better than your master."
."
Bai Qige didn't bother to pay attention to him. She was feeling tired and half-conscious, and she didn't want to say anything more when she felt uncomfortable.
Sitting casually on the edge of the bed, Yi Chenjing put her hand on her smooth forehead. After a moment, she shook her head and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's not a fever. Is the injury on your shoulder better?"
Turning over and facing the bed, Bai Qige still didn't speak. She closed her eyes and listened to Yi Chenjing talking to herself next to her, but the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up in a slight arc. Putting aside the true purpose of hiding it, to be fair,
Yi Chenjing can be regarded as a gentle man even if he is not disguised. He is good to her and Suyan. He will never get angry for no reason and often beat or scold her, even though she knows the reason why Yi Chenjing has been reluctant to touch Suyan and Surao -
-Bai Qige heard clearly what he said while pretending to be asleep.
For a person who is alone and widowed all his life, his determination is unswerving.
I have to admit that Bai Qige was moved by Yi Chenjing's loyalty to her feelings. Because she loved Hongxiao so deeply, she wished she would die. Even those who don't understand this complex mood can understand it, and it is this that makes her more and more helpless.
There is no way to hate him. No one is right. It was fate that made a mistake, turning two people who could have a happy relationship into enemies entangled in love and hate and unable to meet.
"Let's go see Li'er together when we have time. Zhan Ting didn't say anything, but he was still thinking about it in his heart." Yi Chenjing casually tucked in the quilt and said, "I don't know how to coax people. Last time you went to see Li'er.
My son is happier than usual. If possible, I hope you can come with me to see her in the future."
Li'er's topic finally made Bai Qige open her eyes, and turned slightly to look at Yi Chenjing: "Can't you take her out? A place like that shouldn't be too strict, and let Li'er and Zhan Ting meet each other?"
"No." Yi Chenjing answered resolutely, "I have said that Zhan Ting is the orphan of an old minister. The reason why he was forced to separate from Li'er was because the Zhan family was implicated and was regarded as a rebellious minister. My father wanted to kill them.
It was Li'er who knelt for four days and nights in the heavy rain to impress the queen and was spared the death penalty. She was only eleven years old at that time, and Zhan Ting carried her on his back for eight years. To Li'er, her brother was everything.
I have to protect the war court despite being tortured beyond human form..."
Recalling the scenes of the Zhan family's brothers and sisters relying on each other for life and death, the past scenes were still before their eyes. Yi Chenjing took a deep breath and his eyes softened.
"It was a serious crime to kill the Nine Clan. If Uncle Zhan's disciples hadn't fought to save him, the two brothers and sisters would have died more than ten years ago. When I returned to Zhao Kingdom and learned everything, Zhan Ting, who had just been arrested, was covered in scars
My life was hanging by a thread. No matter how much I begged my father for mercy, it was useless. It was Li'er who knelt down and begged in the rain that made the queen unable to bear to take her to see her father. And then...and then Li'er's legs were broken and she was given poison.
I volunteered to be imprisoned in the palace as a condition to blackmail Zhan Ting. Even now, I dare not tell Zhan Ting the truth. I can only lie to him that my father has taken a fancy to Li'er and wants to make her his concubine, so we can't meet him. But because
Li'er is sick and still young. Let's postpone the canonization ceremony until she recovers. I don't know how long this lie can last. Li'er is growing up day by day. Sooner or later, Zhan Ting will become suspicious. I won't ask him.
Forgive me, I just hope that I will have the power to give them their freedom and reunite them as brothers and sisters."
For such a secret thing to be told truthfully, Bai Qige shouldn't believe what Yi Chenjing said, but she chose to believe it. She believed in the gentle look in his eyes when she saw Li'er that day, and believed that he loved her like a biological brother.
I believe he is not a cruel, cold-blooded bad guy.
Sitting up, Bai Qige spoke calmly: "You and I are going to see Li'er. But you have to tell me first where your apology to Zhan Ting comes from. It's not just that you lied to him, right?"
"Sure enough, I can't escape your eyes." Yi Chenjing smiled bitterly, unable to hide the difficulty in his expression, "The Zhan family was convicted because they helped my uncle back then, just like my mother was thrown into the cold palace because of this matter, and my father's attitude towards
All those involved in the rebellion were severely punished."
"that's it?"
Avoiding Bai Qige's sharp gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Yi Chenjing stood up and walked to the window, her fingers on the window lattice trembling slightly.
"You will never think that... I broke Li'er's legs with my own hands."
