The innocent and pure girl had her legs broken and imprisoned in a cold cage like that. When Bai Qige was bored, she also thought about who did it. Can she bear it? Aren't she afraid of retribution?
Unexpectedly, I got the answer unexpectedly today.
A sigh of relief echoed in the room. Yi Chenjing turned around with a self-deprecating look on his angular face: "Do you think I'm inferior to a beast? People like me will definitely go to Abi Hell after death, and Hongxiao has long been
As long as she reincarnates or ascends to immortality, there is no way I can see her again."
"Why? Did the emperor force you to do that?" Bai Qige blurted out without thinking too much.
She did not believe that Yi Chenjing would hurt Li'er for no reason, even though what he had done to her was far more cruel than breaking her legs.
Bai Qige forgot when she could no longer find her hatred for Yi Chenjing. She had vowed to return all the pain she had suffered to him. At that time, she still hated him, but when she saw him treating Yi Chenjing
The concubine was respectful and filial. When she saw that he was unloving but gentle towards Suyan Surao, and when she saw that he was protective and distressed about Li'er in every possible way, the hatred in her heart faded and disappeared without her realizing it. Bai Qige firmly believed that such a man would not be without reason.
Taking away a little girl's legs must have been a last resort. As for the reason...
There is no reason, I just believe it.
The clean and transparent eyes gave Yi Chenjing great courage. The slightly pale and incomplete face looked at him quietly and asked him why instead of scolding him. For the first time, I recalled that day when I personally broke Li'er's eyes.
There was no trembling in the leg scene, and there was no suffocating feeling of being under heavy pressure alone.
"When I first returned to Zhao Kingdom, my father was always worried that I would rebel with troops like my uncle. Knowing that Zhan Ting was my childhood playmate, and the Zhan family was an important accomplice in helping my uncle's rebellion, my father worried about me.
Give me two choices. One is to kill Zhan Ting and Li'er with my own hands and clear away the suspicion of treason; the other is for me to step in and break Li'er's legs and give her a poison, and she will be imprisoned in the palace forever and never be released.
Zhan Ting can save his life and become my subordinate. Between these two paths, I chose the latter."
Walking to the bedside, Yi Chenjing gently held Bai Qige's hand. Usually his hand was warm while hers was cold. This time, it was Bai Qige who warmed him with her body.
"I didn't tell Zhan Ting the truth. The person he loves most in his life is his sister. If I tell him the whole story, he will definitely break into the forbidden area to save Li'er. I don't want to see him seek death - as long as he lives, we will meet one day.
.”
The warmth from the palm of his hand stirred his heartstrings. The secret that had been hidden in his heart for many years could finally be told to others. Yi Chenjing had never felt such a relaxed feeling. The woman in front of him looked at him without saying a word, and she squeezed back hard with her slender fingers.
She seemed to want him to understand that she believed him and believed every word he said.
With such a perfect listener, no one could stop talking, and Yi Chenjing was no exception. He continued calmly: "With Li'er as a check, the war court has been very stable in these years. You see that he is usually honest and honest, and he definitely wants to
He was exactly the same as he was three years ago. He was crazy, stubborn, and his eyes were blood red. Even I couldn't stop him. Li'er is a sensible child. I told her that she had to endure hardship to save Zhan Ting, but she didn't even ask.
I agreed without asking, and I still can't forget that night, the way she gritted her teeth and remained silent when I broke her legs with all my heart - at that time, she was just an eleven-year-old child!"
You can't pretend to be in pain, Bai Qige can clearly see that Yi Chenjing really blames herself, her clenched hands are colder than ever.
Everything is God's will. He should have been a kind-hearted prince who lived a carefree life in the palace of the distant country, fighting birds and admiring flowers every day like the prince, instead of a usurper with revenge, hatred and evil conspiracy. Perhaps.
He owes many people, but his ten years as a proton has given him too many shameful memories. Isn't this what fate owes him?
"In other words, I would have made the same choice as you." Putting out her other hand to cover the back of Yi Chenjing's hand, Bai Qige whispered softly, "You did hurt Li'er, but in the struggle for power, you can't help but
He hurt her but saved Zhan Ting. For Li'er, this is a favor rather than something that requires resentment. No amount of guilt and self-blame can wash away the past. Since you have chosen, stick to it until the day you ascend the throne.
Are you afraid that you won't be able to repay it? Give Li'er freedom, let them reunite as brothers and sisters, and do this if you want to make up for it."
After a long silence, Yi Chenjing pinched Bai Qi's singer and said, "Don't let Zhan Ting know about it yet."
"I see."
Yi Chenjing felt much better after pouring out all her worries. Yi Chenjing was in a better mood than before. Seeing that Bai Qige's face was still pale, she couldn't help but frown: "Are you sick or something? You look very bad."
"There are so many things that have happened recently. It will be fine in a few days." Avoiding Yi Chenjing's gaze, Bai Qige shook her head slightly, "Mrs. Qi can't extract any more useful information from her mouth. She is still pregnant with the child and can't always be like this.
I'm so scared, do you have any way to keep her away from the Yaohing Palace until she gives birth smoothly?"
"After all, it's the fifth brother's family matter, and you and I have no right to interfere. That's good. When you have time, you can ask Jin Zhaoyi and see if you can find a solution through the queen."
People are from far away from the palace, and no one can stop Yi Chenxuan from coming to ask for someone. Now he can only go to the queen for help as Yi Chenjing said. There are too many trivial things accumulated in her heart, Bai Qige sighed again, tiredness on her face.
It’s clearly revealed above.
Yi Chenjing suddenly remembered something, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Qige: "I sent it the day before yesterday, but I forgot to give it to you last night."
Although they are thousands of miles apart, the letters from Zhao Kingdom have never been interrupted. The second brother Bai Haocheng has never given up contact with Bai Qige. Although there are many letters and few replies, he still persists. When he shook off the envelope, the seal was still intact.
Bai Qige smiled calmly.
The previous letters had to be read by Yi Chenjing before they were transferred to her. This time he didn't do that. He stuck to his agreement with her. It might be difficult, but he was really trying to convince himself to trust her.
.
"Are you feeling better?" The side of his face felt cold, and a slightly rough finger traced the scar on his face. When he turned his head to look, Yi Chenjing saw a hint of sadness in his brows, "Do you hate me?"
She carefully collected the letter and showed a forced smile. Bai Qige didn't understand why he suddenly asked such a question. After thinking for a moment, she hesitated and said: "Does it matter whether you hate it or not? The Bai family is under your control, even if I am dissatisfied with what you do.
We can only live like this, I have said before that I will give up everything for the Bai family, don’t you believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, you misunderstood." Yi Chenjing shook his head, "I just want to know, if I remove control of the Bai family, will you still stay here?"
Bai Qige was stunned. Yesterday, Yi Chenjing's attitude was quite harsh and domineering when he asked her to stay with him. Why did he change his tone today? Besides, it was so easy to let her stay in Lianchenxuan. The Bai family was her fatal weakness. As long as the Bai family controlled it,
No matter what he asked her to do, she had to obey. However, it was unreasonable for him to give up on such a good threatening condition.
"What aroused you?"
"I'm not joking with you, Qi Ge, I'm serious. If I let the Bai family go and give you your freedom, will you still stay with me?" Bai Qi Ge's smile was dismissed, and Yi Chenjing was extremely serious. He asked this question
Urgently in need of answers, after several incidents, he had to believe that the woman in front of him was no longer the familiar Xiao Yingge. Her wisdom, her stability, her sharpness that she tried hard to hide, and her irreplaceable understanding of him,
All this made Yi Chenjing reluctant to let go.
Bai Qige, the third young lady of the Bai family who was almost tortured to death by him, is now like a rare treasure in front of her. Since she has really forgotten those old grudges, why not forget them together and let her disappear in the memory and then be reborn.
?
The hesitation was expected. Yi Chenjing did not rush Bai Qige, but looked at her quietly and waited for her answer.
"Give me some time to think about it." After a long time, Bai Qige finally said in a low voice, "I will give you an answer in three days."
"Then you rest first. If you're not feeling well, don't move around. If you need anything, ask Yu Che to come see me in the study."
After quietly agreeing, she lay on her side on the bed. The door opened and closed, and her footsteps gradually moved away. The brocade quilt tightly clenched in her hands was soaked with sweat. Due to excessive force, two crescent marks of fingernails were cut out of her palms. Bai Qige
Taking a deep breath, Yi Chenjing wondered if she had heard her heart pounding just now.
I felt inexplicably nervous, the moment he asked if I could stay by his side.
It has been half a year since she arrived in Yaoguo. During these six months, she has been thinking about leaving and rescuing the Bai family from prison. However, when her wish may come true, she feels disappointed.
If Yi Chenjing is really willing to give her freedom, is it right or wrong to leave like this? She once promised to plan the country and the country for him, and now he takes the initiative to let her go. Should she leave or should she stay? How should she choose?
If she doesn't leave, she will be held captive by him, and she is unwilling to do so; if she leaves, it will be difficult to see him again, and perhaps she will never see him again in this life... she won't let go.
Yes, reluctant to give up, reluctant to give up.
Curling up with the quilt, Bai Qige tried to sleep peacefully to avoid her troubles, but the sleepiness seemed to leave with Yi Chenjing. She closed her eyes tightly and couldn't find any sleep, and panic spread uncontrollably in her heart, bit by bit.
The calm devoured.
Why does she feel like she doesn’t want to leave Yi Chenjing?
Bai Qige was not the only one who had complicated emotions. Walking on the road after leaving Huixiju, Yi Chenjing was also troubled by his abnormal behavior. Facing Bai Qige, he seemed to be unable to hide his thoughts, especially when he said that he wanted to let the Bai family go.
Unexpectedly, what if Bai Qige really wants to leave? Do you want to watch her leave? He worked hard to conquer Zhaoguo and took her back to Dayao all the way. When did his firm belief in avenging Hongxiao become fragile?
Was it washed away in just half a year?
He stopped his hurried pace and punched the wall hard, feeling real pain in his finger bones.
Something was disrupted between him and Bai Qige, something that had always allowed him to feed on hatred and maintain the antagonistic relationship between the two.
"What are you doing here, Your Highness?" A crisp and playful voice sounded from behind. Yi Chenjing's thoughts were confused and she didn't take precautions. She turned around in surprise.
"Surao? Why are you here? Didn't I say that idlers are not allowed to approach Huixiju?"
