After worrying about trivial matters for a long time, Bai Qige was almost exhausted. In addition, Bai Qige was pregnant. No matter how courageous she was, Bai Qige did not dare to walk around. She asked Yu Che to inform Mrs. Qi and Jin Zhaoyi that everything was postponed, and then quietly stayed in Huizhou.
Xiju took care of her for three days, and then her complexion softened a little and was no longer so pale.
In order to help Bai Qige recover better, Yu Che went to Suyan to ask for some supplements, but he did not dare to speak directly. He only said that Bai Qige had not had enough rest recently and had fainted. Suyan relayed the words to Yi Chenjing.
Lai had a cold face and didn't even ask a question. Bai Qige knew that he was completely disappointed. Zhan Ting didn't show up again, and even Xiao Gao was nowhere to be seen. Huixiju seemed to have become a forgotten corner, with only the wind and snow still there.
.
It was New Year's Eve, and Bai Qige planned to take advantage of the grand banquets held in various palaces to secretly send Mrs. Qi to Diecui Residence. After freshening up early in the morning, she went to Mrs. Qi's room. Yu Che had invited the imperial doctor to take her pulse.
"Mrs. Qi's pulse is stable. Although her qi and blood are a little weak, it will not affect the dragon in her belly. The prince and concubine can rest assured."
Bai Qige specially led the imperial doctor to the outer hall. After hearing that Mrs. Qi and her son were fine, she asked in a low voice: "I have been feeling a little unwell the past few days. I asked the imperial doctor to help me check but I have contracted the cold."
The imperial doctor respectfully laid down his pulse pillow. After taking the pulse for a moment, he smiled and bowed to announce the good news to Bai Qige: "My pulse is fluent, like a moving pearl. This is a happy pulse! I congratulate the seventh prince on his great happiness, and congratulate the prince and concubine on her great happiness!"
The trace of luck that she originally had was completely shattered. Bai Qige forced herself to look cheerful and took out a few pieces of silver and handed them to the imperial doctor: "His Highness has been busy with state affairs recently. I don't want to disturb him at this time. I also asked the imperial doctor to help keep the secret. I will tell His Highness about it in the future."
It can be considered a surprise.”
"The Princess is attentive and considerate, and she takes the overall situation into consideration, which is really a blessing for the Seventh Prince." The imperial doctor smiled broadly, quickly took the money and put it in his sleeve, and bowed his waist a little lower, "Today I only came to check Madam Qi's pulse.
I have no idea that since everything is normal with Mrs. Qi, I will take the first step."
After bidding farewell to the imperial doctor, Bai Qige stood at the door for a long time, her gaze gloomy not knowing where to land.
There is no escape from the fact that Yi Chenjing is pregnant with her child. Maybe outsiders will think that this is great news. In royal families, mothers are often more valuable than their children, and having a child means that they will secure their position as the head of the family. However, other women are eagerly looking forward to it.
It turned out to be a disaster for Bai Qige. God seemed to be joking with her. The more he wanted to break off the relationship with Yi Chenjing, the more the two became involved. When he made it clear that he was only infatuated with Hong Hao in his life.
One person, when he walked away because of deception and refused to believe her anymore, she had his child.
Evil fate, evil feelings, everything is wrong, but I cannot bear to say that the flesh and blood in my belly are evil seeds.
A child that should not exist, an unwelcome baby, indeed, it is the fruit of Yi Chenjing's deep hatred, but after all, it is her own flesh and blood, a child who was conceived quietly and has not had time to see the world.
How could you bear to murder him in your belly?!
"Miss, don't stand outside for too long, be careful of the wind blowing... it's bad for your health." Yu Che took a cloak and put it on Bai Qige's back. He was not very neat when he spoke because of his scruples.
Bai Qige put on the sash of her cloak and glanced at the clear sky: "Yu Che, remember to help Mrs. Qi change her clothes after nightfall. Just like me, the clothes and hair accessories must be worn by the palace maid, so that no one can discover her identity."
"Don't worry, I understand."
For several days, there was no movement at the far side of the hall. It looked like Yi Chenxuan had given up and wanted to return to Mrs. Qi, but Bai Qige was still unsure in her heart - Yi Chenxuan was too well disguised and too scheming, the more windy he became.
Being quiet and doing nothing makes people more uneasy, just like the calm before the storm, disasters are often hidden behind. In order to ensure the smooth delivery of Mrs. Qi to Diecui Residence, Bai Qige worked hard, not only taking advantage of the noisy night banquet, but also taking advantage of the noisy night banquet.
They had to take a detour and put on palace maid's clothes to hide from the public. Even so, they still felt on tenterhooks for fear of something going wrong along the way.
In a palace where intrigues and murders are everywhere, how far can a helpless woman go? Bai Qige doesn't want to think about it. At this point, all she can do is go on step by step and do her best to protect herself and the Bai family.
, fight for the opportunity to have a fair deal with Yi Chenjing again.
After a hard day, Bai Qige steeled herself for dinner and ate with Concubine Jing and others. Yi Chenjing chatted and laughed with everyone, but refused to look at her. Even if his gaze had to pass over her, she was extremely cold.
, as if seeing something extremely disgusting.
This was good, at least it would stop her from thinking wildly and focus on being his chess piece and tool without any distractions.
Other concubines, princes, and other concubines in the palace all have to watch the New Year's Eve, and the master and servants gather together to eat and drink. The concubine does not like noisy, so Lianchenxuan only has dinner and no night banquet. When it gets dark, Bai Qige changes into the clothes of a palace maid and arrives
Mrs. Qi's room, after some consolation and simple arrangements, she and Yu Che protected Mrs. Qi from Lianchenxuan and rushed to Diecui Residence.
The road from Lianchenxuan to Diecuiju is not too far, but on the way, you have to pass the fifth prince's Yaohing Palace. Taking a lesson from the last time he was intercepted by Yi Chenxuan, Bai Qige gave up the shortcut and the eye-catching but warm sedan.
I chose to take a longer walk on the trail.
It had just snowed the night before. Although it was sunny now, the snow on the trail was still very thick. Mrs. Qi had never suffered like this when she was raised in a boudoir. She almost slipped several times. If it were not for the thought of protecting the child, she would not have been able to do it.
They couldn't walk very far. Mrs. Qi didn't notice, but Yu Che knew that Bai Qige was also pregnant. Seeing her feet slipping from time to time, he saw that she was anxious and had no choice but to endure it, and his heart was in his throat.
.
"We've already walked more than half the distance, if we just hold on for a while we'll be there."
Supporting her in the snow is a very tiring task. It was freezing cold, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Bai Qige's forehead. Her husband Qi was very moved when he saw it: "Thank you, Princess, for saving your life. I will be a bitch like you for the rest of the day."
The horse will repay you."
"What did Mrs. Qi say? I didn't save you to repay you. I just thought the child was too innocent."
Madam Qi chuckled, a rare smile appearing on her beautiful face: "I didn't think so when we first met, but now I realize that the princess is an outspoken and outspoken person. She must have suffered a lot in the palace for being so kind?"
"When did I become a kind person?" Bai Qige was a little surprised. She thought that she was no different from Yi Chenxuan, Surao and others. They were all villains who did not hesitate to use others for their own purposes. They suffered a lot, but that
It was because of her status rather than her good character. Wiping the beads of sweat on her forehead, Bai Qige laughed at herself: "Mrs. Qi's judgment of people is a bit poor. I care about my children because I have experienced the pain of having no father or mother, and I feel deeply in my heart."
Just some, not everyone."
Yu Che next to him looked confused: "You don't have a father or a mother? What are you talking about?"
Reminiscent of her previous life as an orphan, Bai Qige inadvertently said what was in her heart. She almost forgot that Yu Che was still there, and hurriedly waved her hand: "Just pretend you didn't hear what you said, and hurry up and hurry up."
As soon as the atmosphere became more relaxed, Mrs. Qi's face suddenly turned pale, and her hand that held Bai Qige couldn't help but tremble.
"What's wrong?" Bai Qige asked confused.
"Shhh - there's someone in front of me, it looks like... Su Jinyan..."
Bai Qige took a breath, slowed down and looked in the direction Mrs. Qi pointed.
This trail is rarely used by people on weekdays, so although there is an oil lamp base beside the road, it is not lit. Traffic at night depends on lanterns and moonlight. The direction Mrs. Qi pointed to was an open space, and a dead tree rustled in the cold wind.
It was a bit scary, but no one was visible anywhere.
Maybe she was overly nervous and misread it. Just when Bai Qige breathed a sigh of relief and was about to comfort Mrs. Qi, a slight noise came from the side. Before she could think about it, her body reacted before her brain. The dagger in her sleeve drew a cold light and was unsheathed in an instant.
There was a sound that broke through the air in the cold night.
However, there was nothing strange after that sound, and the surroundings were still as quiet as death. Bai Qige was not sure if anyone was nearby just now, so she had to follow Mrs. Qi with a dagger in hand, her long dark eyebrows furrowed.
"Hurry up, I always feel something is wrong."
Before she finished speaking, there was another faint sound. This time Bai Qige heard it clearly. There was definitely someone hiding in the darkness watching them!
"Who? Come out!" Holding the dagger in her other hand, Bai Qige pushed Yu Che on the back and whispered in his ear, "Yu Che, take Mrs. Qi to walk a few steps quickly and pick someone out after walking out of the path.
Take the broadest roads and never go to sparsely populated areas.”
Yu Che had little experience and was half frightened when he heard something unknown following him in the dark. He was thinking about monsters and monsters, and his hair stood on end, his upper and lower teeth chattered, and he couldn't even move his feet.
"Good-for-nothing girl!" Bai Qige gritted her teeth and cursed in a low voice. The moment she was distracted, there was a sudden cold feeling on her back.
The sensitive intuition she had developed over many years as a special forces soldier made her immediately realize that there was someone behind her.
Bai Qige didn't have time to turn around and check. Without hesitation, Bai Qige raised the dagger and slashed backwards, but her wrist was caught hard in mid-air. The huge force pinched the wrist bone, causing severe pain. Bai Qige felt that her wrist was about to break, and she gritted her teeth.
She quickly turned around and kicked her sideways. She probably didn't expect that she would fight back. The person behind her couldn't dodge and was kicked hard. She was surprised and lost her strength. Bai Qige took the opportunity to withdraw her hand and jump to the side.
Bai Qige had known that her body was fragile and weak, so she kept on training and learning swordsmanship from Yi Chenjing. Although it was far inferior to those who had studied martial arts for many years, it could still come in handy at critical moments.
"You know kung fu?" In the darkness, the man who failed to succeed in the sneak attack was quite surprised.
Bai Qige had only heard that voice not long ago, but she immediately realized who it was, and her heart suddenly went cold. After all calculations, she still couldn't escape the clutches of the devil. It seems that she wants to send Mrs. Qi away tonight.
Diecuiju is unlikely.
Before Bai Qige could answer, Mrs. Qi behind her had turned pale. Her legs gave way and she fell to the ground. Her voice revealed unconcealable panic: "Su Jinyan!"
