When she woke up early in the morning with a splitting headache, Yi Chenjing sat on the bed in a daze for a while before she remembered what happened last night. She felt around her body and couldn't find the medicine bottle, and she already guessed that Bai Qige had discovered her.
He probably had no memory of it until Zhan Ting was shaking and still insisting on toasting. In the end, whether Bai Qige was drunk or how he came back, he had no memory of anything. He only felt that his throat was burning and sore, and he was covered in the smell of alcohol.
The smell was pungent, and he must have made a fool of himself in front of Bai Qige again. But these were not important. What made Yi Chenjing pay special attention was that the back of his head was painful and swollen, as if he had been hit with a hard blunt instrument.
Glancing around at the items around him, I saw a brass hourglass that had obviously been thrown carelessly on the ground, lying alone and motionless under the couch.
Yi Chenjing rubbed his forehead gloomily, an unspeakable expression of pain appeared on his face - there was only one person in Lianchenxuan who was so bold as to dare to hit him like this. No one except Bai Qige would do such a lifeless act, and no one would do such a lifeless act.
Only a woman who is bold and unyielding to men would deal such a cruel hand without taking it lightly or severely.
As for why...
It was easy to find ten possible reasons. Yi Chenjing was too lazy to analyze any more. He ordered someone to get water, take a bath and change clothes, then came to Huixiju again with a frown on his face.
It was almost noon, but the first thing Yi Chenjing saw when he stepped in the door was not the tired-looking Bai Qige, but his loyal confidant, Zhan Ting, lying on the ground with a wine jar in his arms, his steady snoring attracting even the small walk outside the door.
"...Shameful." Taking a deep breath, Yi Chenjing forced herself to look away to stop the urge to kick Zhan Ting awake. Hearing the footsteps, she looked toward the beaded curtain leading to the inner hall, and saw a voluptuous and beautiful woman wearing
A snow-green figure walked by, and the narrow-sleeved fairy skirt with white fox fur sewn on the neckline was eye-catching.
"Zhan Ting is not the only one who is embarrassed. He doesn't even know how he got back to his bedroom, yet he has the nerve to say that others are embarrassed."
The merciless sarcasm left Yi Chenjing speechless. She walked into the inner hall with a groan: "I know that you must be unkind when you invite me to drink for no reason. Tell me, was it you who hit me?"
"What did I hit?" Bai Qige raised her eyebrows with a slight smile on her lips, making it clear that she knew what she was asking, "Did something break in Your Highness's room? You can't blame me. Maybe you broke it while you were drunk and dancing in the room.
Maybe."
Yi Chenjing couldn't get any advantage in terms of language. Fortunately, he still had some self-awareness. He avoided Bai Qige's conversation and pointed at the back of his head: "What's going on? Why did you knock me out?"
"How shameless? It's obvious that you fell down after just two drinks. Do you think you can take some medicine and not get drunk after a thousand drinks?" Bai Qige didn't feel any guilt on her face. Instead, she sat comfortably aside and looked down on Yi Chenjing.
Come on, "I'm so drunk that I can't wake up. I'd like to take you back to your room but you'll grab me by the sleeve. I have no choice but to make you suffer a little and let go, otherwise I'll have to suffer all night."
It doesn't sound very credible, but there is no evidence for other reasons.
Yi Chenjing pondered for a moment and accepted this explanation. Even if it was so-so, if he really wanted to be more serious with Bai Qige, he would have an endless quarrel, and he didn't know how many conflicts would be involved.
Seeing that he was speechless for a moment, Bai Qige poured a glass of water and stood up. With a soft call, the little Tiao flew in from the front hall with wings fluttering. After circling for a week, she quietly landed on Bai Qige's arm. She lowered her head and pecked at the clean water in the cup. The little Tiao was already there.
It was an adult goshawk. The power of the wind could not be underestimated when it spread its wings. It blew up Bai Qige like a waterfall of green silk by half an inch, revealing its fair and slender neck.
His eyes casually passed by, and he suddenly stopped when he touched a sudden patch on Xue's neck. Yi Chenjing frowned and reached out to brush the strand of hair next to Bai Qige's ear behind her ear.
It was a small red and purple bruise, half hidden inside the collar and half exposed. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to find it. Looking down, there was another spot covered by the collar, which was also the same color.
They are of similar size. From the appearance, they are not caused by trauma, but more like a hickey.
Yi Chenjing's eyes paused, and she seemed to have thought of something, and her tone was slightly hesitant: "Did I say anything...or do anything last night?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Bai Qige knew that he had discovered the marks on her neck. Yi Chenjing's guess was correct. Those bruises were indeed kiss marks, and they were marked by him himself last night. Except for these two more obvious ones,
There were several other places. It was precisely to cover up these marks that she put on the fox fur fairy skirt that she didn't like very much but had a high neckline. She didn't expect that he would discover it by accident.
Now that he has been discovered, there is no need to hide it anymore. Bai Qige simply tied up her long hair to expose the bruises, and said nonchalantly: "What's the surprise? It was just a couple of bites by a drunk dog."
After being scolded in a roundabout way, Yi Chenjing was left dumbfounded, but he couldn't retaliate. Several scenes vaguely appeared in his intermittent memory.
The night, the path, the wooden couch, and a blurry figure under the dim candlelight. Taking a deep breath, he suddenly realized that something must have confused him last night, otherwise no matter how drunk he was, he would not be able to talk to Bai Qige...
…
Ridiculous, how could he have any undue thoughts about her?
A wisp of light fragrance drifted from the lifted green hair, and the smell was very light. It would be difficult to detect it if you were not too close. Yi Chenjing frowned even more tightly, grabbed Bai Qige's arm without warning, lowered her head and leaned close to the snow-white neck,
The two of them were very close to each other, looking extremely ambiguous from the side.
"you--"
"Don't move." Interrupting Bai Qige's angry shout, Yi Chenjing seemed to be addicted to the smell, closing her eyes, her expression gradually became cold.
The reason for his impulsiveness and irrationality was finally found.
Being interrupted seriously by Yi Chenjing, Bai Qige thought he had discovered some important problem, and subconsciously followed his order to stop her movements. A moment later, she was pushed away by him as if he was useless, with a smile on her handsome face.
A long-lost cold smile appeared.
"Is this your purpose?"
Bai Qige looked confused: "What is the purpose? What happened?"
"Stop pretending to be stupid and inviting me and Zhan Ting to drink for no reason. You know what ulterior secrets you have in your heart!" The hard fist hit the table hard, making a loud noise, and Xiao You screamed twice in fright.
Flying out of the room, Zhan Ting, who was sleeping soundly outside, was also awakened by the loud noise. He hurriedly got up from the ground, holding the empty wine jar and turned around twice in confusion before finding the source of the sound.
"House——" Zhan Ting thought that Yi Chenjing was angry because he was drunk early and failed to complete the task. He blushed and was about to apologize, but he didn't expect that Yi Chenjing's sullen face swept over him coldly, which made people feel sad.
The shuddering anger surged in so powerfully that he even stopped talking for a while.
"Stand guard outside, no one is allowed in!" Leaving behind a puzzling order, Yi Chenjing pulled Bai Qige hard and pushed her into the bedroom. She raised her long sleeves and closed the door tightly with a bang.
Bai Qige has long been used to Yi Chenjing's moody moods. She considers herself to be quick-tempered and prone to losing her temper. Yi Chenjing is even worse than her. She often smiles one moment and becomes stern the next.
.However, people with such a temper can calm down quickly. If they have something to say, they will naturally calm down. With the above thoughts in mind, Bai Qige did not take Yi Chenjing's sudden irritability to heart, but sat quietly by the bed and watched him rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
I dug through all the dossier.
"Why is this incense here with you?" After a while, Yi Chenjing was holding the crescent-shaped incense box found in the makeup drawer, with a cold and terrifying expression on her face.
Bai Qige looked at it carefully, because the box was very ingenious and exquisite, and she was deeply impressed. Therefore, she recognized at a glance that it was the spices that Yu Che used to smoke her clothes a few days ago. It was just a box of ordinary spices.
Did you offend him again?
Taking the incense box calmly, Bai Qige looked calm: "Yu Che asked someone to buy this incense from outside the palace. Is there anything wrong with it?"
"Bought from outside the palace? What a coincidence, it is exactly the same as the one that was lost in my study." Yi Chenjing laughed angrily, but the smile was cold to the bone, "I would like to see how lucky it is, whether it is also from far away.
As a tribute from the Mo Kingdom, are the things I bought from outside the palace also engraved with the word '绡'? When did the things I made with my own hands become used by the common people outside the palace?"
When Bai Qige heard this, Bai Xiu fiddled with the incense box up and down with her palms, and finally found the word "绡" carved with a sharp tool in an inconspicuous corner on the side. The strong font was almost the same as the one on the study memorial.
The incense box has always been kept by Yu Che and would only be taken out when it was used for fumigating clothes. Bai Qige had never observed it carefully. Hearing what Yi Chenjing said, Bai Qige immediately understood where his anger came from and the disgust of being plotted against.
The thought came to his mind again - he made it clear every word that this incense box was unique and carefully stored in his study, and would never appear in her place.
With the carefully engraved word "绡" there, is there any need to ask who this box of incense originally belonged to? No wonder he was so angry, and no wonder he couldn't control himself last night and couldn't help shouting red when he hugged her.
Xiao's name.
In his drunken state, Yi Chenjing mistakenly mistook her for the Princess Hongxiang just because she was tainted by the elegant and unique smell of the incense.
Seeing Bai Qige's eyebrows furrowed and silent, Yi Chenjing sneered: "I have nothing to say? First, you made me drunk with fine wine, and then used incense to confuse my consciousness. Do you want me to treat you like a red gauze and spend the whole night in a rainy night? In order to be favored and favored,
With high status, you still need to secure the position of the prince and concubine, or are you planning to have a child as a supporter like the Qi family? Stop dreaming, Bai Qige, let me tell you clearly, even if I promise you a lifetime of prosperity, wealth, and the status of a concubine, you
You will never be my wife, let alone have any children, so put away those ridiculous ideas as soon as possible!"
Hearing these unfounded sarcastic questions before he even had time to answer, Bai Qige was furious and at the same time, her heart became cold.
As expected, he would not let her give birth to a child. To him, the child was a shame and a betrayal of his loyalty and infatuation to Princess Hongxiao until death. If he was told that he already had him in his belly
Of flesh and blood, Yi Chenjing's reaction must be the same as that of the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan.
Abort the child and kill your own flesh and blood.
