Just one day later, Yu Che returned to Lianchenxuan. Su Jinyan was very gentle and just pushed her against the wall and knocked her unconscious. However, even so, Yu Che still cursed at the man who left a scar on her forehead.
"It would be nice to spare your life, but why do we still need someone to keep you alive?" In the sunny courtyard, Bai Qige smiled calmly and quietly.
"He shouldn't have dragged me against the wall. He doesn't understand the slightest bit of compassion." Yu Che bared his teeth and carefully touched the white cloth on his forehead. In the blink of an eye, he put on a cheerful smile, "But it's okay, the lady has a scar on her face.
, I have a scar on my forehead, and you can tell at a glance that they are together, so I won’t scold him for this reason.”
Yu Che was young and still had the mood of a child. Bai Qige just smiled dotingly like her younger sister, turned around and waved to the door.
"What are Princess Qi'an's orders?" The man standing neatly in front of the Huixiju Courtyard had a gray-black goshawk on his shoulders. He looked at the two masters and servants in the courtyard with an honest expression.
"Zhan Ting, did His Highness say when he would be back?"
Zhan Ting shook his head, with a trace of envy in his eyes: "In previous years, at this time, we have to walk through each palace. From the queen to the concubines with the prince, there is no one that cannot be completed in five or six days. His Highness has made outstanding achievements in the past two years, and the other princes
The concubines are also rushing to fawn over me, and I will probably spend the next few days with good wine."
Looking at Zhan Ting's behavior, he knew he was an alcoholic. Bai Qige pondered for a moment and asked Yu Che to take out a few taels of broken silver and hand it to Zhan Ting: "It's not convenient for me and Yu Che to go out, so take this silver and bring back two jars of good wine.
When His Highness has some free time, invite him to Huixiju and tell him that I will treat you two to a drink."
"I have money here. Just tell Princess Qi'an what she needs." As soon as he heard the word "wine", Zhan Ting's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Yi Chenjing didn't like drinking, but Zhan Ting was the opposite.
It's a pity that he has to travel around the palace and outside the palace on weekdays, and he must always be vigilant to prevent accidents. He doesn't dare to drink alcohol easily. It's rare for Bai Qige to invite him. Thinking about it, Yi Chenjing will definitely not refuse. Zhan Ting laughs.
With a look of stupidity on his face: "Although Lianchenxuan is not taken seriously by others, the monthly money allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is double that of other palaces, so it cannot be used for unused land. Before leaving, His Highness specifically asked to take more care of Huixi's residence, and he really paid attention to Qi'an.
The princess cares very much."
Automatically ignoring the second half of Zhan Ting's sentence, Bai Qige was quite interested in the monthly money issue: "Why is the Lianchen Pavilion twice the size of other palaces? Is it because the Imperial Concubine and His Highness live here together?"
"That's what he said on the surface, but in fact it was the emperor's preference. After all, he once showed great favor to the concubine, and Lianchenxuan was very glorious for a while. If General Xiao hadn't been implicated in the rebellion with his troops, what would the emperor have said?
I will not be so cruel as to put His Highness and Concubine Jing under house arrest in the cold palace. Rebellion is a serious crime against the Nine Tribes. It is a great gift to keep His Highness and Concubine Jing alive."
"That's it." Bai Qige nodded secretly, and Yi Chenjing understood a lot more about what Yi Chenjing said to her last night.
It seems that Concubine Jing lost the favor of the emperor and became one of the weakest concubines, and Yi Chenjing was also inferior to others. But as long as Emperor Yao still cherishes the old relationship and defends it, it will only be a matter of time before Yi Chenjing becomes successful. Yi Chenxuan probably did it for
The only way to prevent this from happening is to kill, and we have started to eliminate the biggest hidden dangers many years ago, which is evident from our deep thinking.
Zhan Ting was so greedy that he couldn't hold it back for a long time. He said with a hopeful look on his face: "Princess Qi'an, do you have any other orders? If nothing else, I will go outside the palace to find some good wine!"
"Wouldn't you be eager to death if I give you another order?" Bai Qige waved her hands and chuckled, standing up from the stone chair, "I'm leaving the palace anyway, so you can help me see if I can get a dagger. It doesn't take much.
It’s expensive, hard enough, sharp enough, small enough, and can be used for self-defense.”
"I got it, I'll be back before dark at the latest!" With the wine as a hook, Zhan Ting looked much more irritable than before, and quickly left Huixiju without asking, leaving Xiao Miao lazily basking in the sun on the branches.
He guards.
"Miss, why did you invite that man to drink? If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have suffered this injustice. If you ask me to buy a dagger, I should be the first to stab him. When I'm happy, I'll say some nice things to make people laugh, and when I'm unhappy, I'll kill him."
Tortured in death, which of the injuries on the young lady's body were not left for him?" Yu Che threw the broom in his hand and said angrily.
Although she didn't mention her by name, Bai Qige understood who Yu Che was talking about. Having been with her for so long, Yi Chenjing knew her attitude best, and Yu Che knew it best. It was no wonder that the little girl had so many complaints. She raised her hand lightly.
Gently rubbing the bruise on Yu Che's cheek, Bai Qige whispered softly: "He did cause you and me to suffer a lot, but these are not one ten millionth compared to his hardships. Go find Yun Zhong Jinhe
I didn’t tell him about the child, so I can’t blame him.”
"I'm sorry for you, miss! Why did you persuade me instead?" Yu Che stomped his feet and his teeth started to itch, "Miss, you are so worthless. If he treats you a little better, you will forget about the hardships you endured and the pain you suffered.
, is it possible that I really want to give him a child and live my whole life in this palace where I can’t see the light of day? Where has the backbone of the young lady gone?!”
Yu Che has a strong temper and will say whatever is in his heart. Although the words are not pleasant to hear, every word comes from the heart. Bai Qige is not angry at Yu Che's rebuttal. She is willing to endure others' contempt and humiliation by her side for so long. Yu Che has already paid too much.
Too much, and I am fully qualified to question her seemingly undignified decision.
"Yu Che, many things are constantly changing, and people are also changing. Now I can't hate him at all. If you want to go deeper, I owe him too much, more than I can even repay." Indeed, this body
The mistakes made by her body do not belong to Bai Qige, but she wants to do her best to repay it. Being able to borrow this body to be reborn as a human being should be a reward for bearing all the love, hate and guilt for the former owner. What's more, she wants to protect the Bai family and protect her.
The hard-won relatives were the reason why she was unwilling to die and traveled here.
Bai Qige stretched out her hand towards the treetop, and saw little Tao cooing and flying onto her arm. She lowered her head and caressed the feathers on her neck: "Not long after, he will go on an expedition to the north. At that time, he may be able to lift his control over the Bai family and give him freedom."
. Yu Che, go back, return to Zhao Kingdom, take good care of my father and mother for me, and never let them get involved in the turmoil of the troubled world again."
"Where are you, Miss?" Hearing the farewell meaning in Bai Qige's words, Yu Che was stunned, "Aren't you going back? We clearly agreed to go back together, to find a quiet mountain place where no one cares, Master, Madam, Young Master, and the whole family
People together..."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Che's throat was choked with soreness, two big tears fell, and Bai Qige's heart also ached.
After half a year of relying on each other, Yu Che has changed from a maid who looked down on her to a loyal sister. Faced with the harm done to her by Yi Chenxuan, Yu Che almost went crazy with heartache. This true love cannot be faked.
But……
Wiping away the tears on Yu Che's face, Bai Qige tried her best to maintain a forced smile: "Obey, Yu Che, if you have the chance, you must leave here and return to the Bai family to fulfill your filial piety for me. I owe Yi Chenjing, and I am helping him get what he wants.
I won't leave until he wants something - I want to stay with him, no matter whether the Bai family is under his control or not."
"Miss, you have already given so much and you don't owe him anything. Why do you do this? How about we go back together? Don't worry about anything in Yao Guo!"
Yes, without realizing it, I have already paid so much for Yi Chenjing.
Bai Qige raised her head and looked at the clear blue sky, clean and peaceful, without any impurities or haze.
Endure his insults, torture, endure his repeated blows and devastation, make suggestions for him, provide him with brain-racking weapons diagrams and clever strategies, and secretly protect his flesh and blood... even though many things are for him.
It is not necessary, but no one can erase what she has given. However, these are not enough. If Hong Xiao was really killed by her, then she owes Yi Chenjing a love debt that cannot be repaid in her lifetime. Only
Use everything you have to make up for it with other things.
"Yu Che, he didn't force me, I stayed with him voluntarily." Bai Qige gently patted Yu Che's back, her tone was calm, "I can't explain what it feels like, Yi Chenjing has something
This kind of atmosphere has always attracted me. The feeling is different from what Yi Chenxuan could give me in the past. In the past, I would feel at ease when I was around Yi Chenxuan. Someone could protect me from the wind and rain, but I couldn't get that feeling when I was around Yi Chenjing.
This kind of tenderness has given me a more real contact - even though we quarreled and argued again and again, he finally began to believe in me, didn't he? I like strong people, and I prefer people who can trust me. Following him may still help me.
I will suffer a lot, but as long as I can stand side by side with him, I believe there will be a day when the conflict will be completely resolved."
Taking a deep breath, Yu Che couldn't believe his ears. His expression of surprise dispersed his tears, and his voice was full of disbelief: "Miss, you... like His Highness?"
Bai Qige was also stunned by the sudden question. She had said so much, but Yu Che stumped her with just one word.
Like, does she like Yi Chenjing?
Impossible. Not long ago, they hated each other. He had given her so much humiliation and pain that she wanted to crush him to ashes. How could it become such a relationship? I saw his kindness and persistence when we get along every day.
His affection is profound, his iron-clad tenderness, even if...even if she likes him, it is because of his character, not Yi Chenjing as a person - she cannot fall in love with Yi Chenjing, once she falls in love,
The end result will be that her bones and heart will be eaten away, and she will never recover.
There will never be a place for her in his heart.
In another part of the Royal Palace of Yaoguo, there were people looking at the sky in a daze.
"After greeting my mother, I couldn't find you again. It turns out that I hid here alone and had half a day's leisure." The thirty-year-old Prince Dayao leisurely walked to the corner of the clean courtyard and looked at the high wall with a smile.
The man standing with his hands behind his back said, "Seventh brother is so lost in thought, but he is thinking about the prince and concubine?"
"Brother, the emperor, was joking, but my brother was just thinking about going on an expedition." Yi Chenjing's face was calm and restrained, and the embarrassment of being told the central issue was fleeting. Regardless of whether it was a joke or not, the prince guessed the reason for his loss of consciousness, and he
Just now, without realizing it, his whole heart was thinking about one person.
