"When I was in the most desperate situation in Zhao State and almost couldn't survive, it was you and Hong Xiao who helped me in every possible way regardless of their status. Looking back on the carefree days the three of us had together at that time, although it was more difficult, we were very satisfied. I
I never thought that one day Hong Xiao would die and you would become a prisoner. I never thought that in the end I would marry you instead of Hong Xiao. Everything was beyond my expectation. Even now I still can’t completely believe what happened.
." Yi Chenjing talked to himself endlessly, not caring whether Bai Qige could understand or not.
As long as he mentions the red silk Yi Chenjing, he will become a different person. It is easy to see how deeply he loves the princess of Zhao Kingdom who died mysteriously and suddenly. Bai Qige has been moved by that infatuated love many times.
But he also paid too much price for it. Today, the name Hung Hom is not just a puzzle, but a paranoia and obsession, a sad memory, and the source of love and hate.
Taking a long breath, Bai Qige shook her head to get rid of the thoughts that could easily pull her into a low mood. She turned to look at the purple and black scented grains on the ground: "If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't want to beat around the bush with you."
The straightforward response left Yi Chenjing at a loss. She raised her hand in embarrassment and then put it down. The calm gaze that once commanded thousands of troops disappeared without knowing where. She looked at the ground, the dowry, and looked up at the paintings hanging on the wall.
, just refused to have any interaction with that thin figure, and looked like an awkward child who had made a mistake.
"I... I just care too much about Hong Xiao. I will lose my mind once I think of her. I don't mean to target you." The voice was low and low, almost to the point of being inaudible. Yi Chenjing took a step forward,
However, she noticed that Bai Qige moved to the side without leaving a trace as he approached. The distance between the two of them remained unchanged. She felt a pain in her heart. The words that had been in her mind for a long time finally blurted out: "I'm sorry."
Bai Qige froze. She wanted to see what his expression was like but finally held back. She pointed her slender fingers at the door: "No need to apologize, go out."
"I was too impulsive and said some stupid things. No matter what happened in the past or what happened yesterday, whether you want to hear it or not, I just want to apologize to you." He slowly backed away to the door and was called by Bai Qige.
There was a hint of sadness on his moody face, and a trace of confusion flashed through his deep eyes. Turning around and opening the door, Yi Chenjing hesitated for a moment before stepping out, and a low sigh broke into the cold air: "You are willing to stay,
I am very happy."
Outside the room, Zhan Ting pestered Yu Che and kept asking questions. Yu Che was worried that Bai Qige was already very annoyed, and he didn't have a good look on the honest Zhan Ting. When he saw Yi Chenjing pushing the door open, he immediately rushed up to her eagerly.
His expression was stronger than fear: "Is Your Highness angry because of that box of incense? The young lady really doesn't know the inside story at all about this matter. If Your Highness wants to punish me, just punish me. Don't implicate the young lady!"
The turmoil arose because of the incense, so it was natural to punish Yu Che. However, Yi Chenjing did not speak coldly and unkindly like before. She raised her hand and patted Yu Che's head. Her tone was like that of a frustrated maid pleading for mercy.
A child said: "Why are you punished? Those who don't know are not guilty. Neither you nor Qi Ge is wrong."
"It's better that Your Highness is not angry with the young lady..." As he spoke, all the grievances Bai Qige suffered in his memory came to his heart. Yu Che's eyes turned red and he actually cried in front of the two grown men, "I beg you, slave."
Your Highness, please stop treating Miss like this. As long as Your Highness is good to Miss, I will be willing to work as a cow and horse for the rest of my life. Miss’s current body cannot withstand great joys and sorrows. Even if His Highness does not think about Miss, you must still do it for——”
"Yu Che, are you turning a deaf ear to what I say? Do you want to make me angry to death to make you happy?" Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Bai Qige who suddenly walked out. His pale face held an untouchable majesty, and he was stared at by two stern eyes.
Looking down, Yu Che trembled and swallowed the unfinished words without daring to mention them again.
After all, after getting along for a long time, Bai Qige knew what Yu Che was going to say after hearing the first sentence and the second half. He understood that this girl wanted to tell her that she was pregnant with Yi Chenjing's child, so Bai Qige rushed to cut off the conversation. The matter of the child must not be left to chance.
Yi Chenjing knew, at least not now. He had made it very clear in his words just now that she, Bai Qige, was a nominal wife who had the status of a prince but was not recognized by him. Even if she was pregnant, she would not be allowed to give birth to a child.
Frightened by Bai Qige's stern face, Yu Che did not dare to say another word. Yi Chenjing only said that Yu Che wanted to plead for Bai Qige, so she did not continue to ask. She looked meaningfully at the woman standing opposite with an expressionless face and turned to leave.
.
She has already thought about apologizing to Bai Qige, but she has been hesitant. After all, she is the biggest suspect in Hongxiao's death. Yi Chenjing is not generous enough to completely forget the pain of losing her loved one. Can she be like this now?
Peaceful conversations and face-to-face quarrels were beyond imagination. He had thought that he had lost his feelings long ago and could kill people who were related to Hongxiao's death without caring. Unexpectedly, the person most likely to kill Hongxiao turned out to be
She has become half of his confidant, walking around in front of him every day, but he can no longer find any hatred at all.
What should we name such a mood?
Zhan Ting was Yi Chenjing's confidant and even accompanied him as a bodyguard. Seeing that Yi Chenjing was in a bad mood, he had to follow him closely. Only Yu Che and Bai Qige were left in the room, wiping away tears.
"You just wanted to tell him about the child, right?" Bai Qige said coldly, glancing at the maid who had her head lowered.
"I, I saw that the quarrel between the young lady and His Highness was very fierce this time, and I was worried that he would be violent to you again, young lady, for fear of hurting the unborn child..." Yu Che's voice became softer as he spoke, and he sobbed again after wiping the corners of his eyes.
.
"Okay, I didn't say I was going to punish you." Seeing Yu Che's pitiful appearance, Bai Qige finally couldn't bear to reprimand her with a straight face, and softened her tone, "Yu Che, you have to go through your brain when you speak, and you have to think twice before doing anything.
, you don’t understand these principles, why do you get confused at the critical moment? When it’s time to talk about the child, I will naturally say, I am the child’s mother, and no one wants to protect him more than me. Wait until you are a human being.
You will understand this feeling when you are a mother."
Yu Che nodded obediently, with a hint of confusion between his brows: "Why did we quarrel again this time? What is the origin of the incense box? Your Highness was so fierce during the quarrel, why did you look so disappointed when you left?"
"What does he have to lose? He always has a fierce look on his face, throws a tantrum and leaves without caring about whose fault it is. Even if he apologizes, he won't be sincere."
"Apologise? Your Highness will also apologize?" Yu Che said in surprise.
What's so difficult about apologizing? A touch of the upper and lower lips is something that normal people can do. Bai Qige glanced sideways at Yu Che. She glanced at the mess on the bedroom floor and sighed softly: "Remember, be careful when dealing with people.
, beware of strangers, and don’t be greedy for cheap. Fortunately, you can explain the origin of the incense box and he is willing to believe it, otherwise it will be an intractable dispute - do you know, that incense box was given to Princess Hongxia by him before?
, appeared here after being stolen, do you think he can not get angry?"
"But that incense box..." Recalling the unfamiliar face of the palace maid who sold the incense box, Yu Che suddenly realized, "The palace maid sold the incense box to me on purpose, just to make the young lady guilty of theft and discord with His Highness!"
It's not just that simple, how can outsiders touch the relics of Princess Hongxiao? The person who stole the incense box and designed to send it to Huixiju is trying to kill her. Bai Qige frowned slightly, looking at the puddle of incense grains on the ground in trance.
The decision to invite Yi Chenjing to drink was only made in the past few days. It has been half a month since the spices were delivered to Huixi Residence. It was a coincidence that the two things came together and almost led to an accident last night. However, through the coincidence, Bai Qige saw something more
Something deep, some conspiracy that would make her hair stand on end just thinking about it.
Jialingxiang, Yi Chenjing said, Jialingxiang contains mandala seeds. If I remember correctly, the seeds of this flower have hallucinogenic effects and will directly act on the nerve center to cause hallucinations. Just imagine, for a long time
Inhaling this aroma caused confusion, and the unique smell was the same as that of a lover whom he loved deeply but could not see again. How would Yi Chenjing react? His impulse last night was a drunken coincidence. If it hadn't happened
, Yi Chenjing didn’t know that there was caramel on her clothes, and the extremely light smell could only be smelled when she was very close. So, would something happen to the two of them who were in close contact with each other day and night, sooner or later?
Bai Qige didn't dare to think about what would happen next.
"Yu Che, get a pen and paper, and you can write whatever I say."
He hurriedly got pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Yu Che was sitting upright in front of the case. He looked at Bai Qige with bright eyes and his ears stood up. Bai Qige could only read a few words and write even fewer words. Occasionally, he would write a few on a whim.
The characters are all words that Yu Che has never seen before. It is okay to write something for my own entertainment. If it is to be read by outsiders, Yu Che will be the ghostwriter.
"The first one is to be able to come and go freely in the study; the second one is to have the opportunity to contact outsiders; the third one is to know the past events of Princess Hongxiao. The above three are marked with the words Lianchenxuan." Bai Qige walked in the inner hall with her shoulders in her arms.
Walking around, his eyes couldn't hide the gleam of intelligence, "Another piece of paper marked unknown, also three items. First, understand the detailed situation in Lianchenxuan; second, there is someone who understands pharmacology; third... third, what you wish for
on the contrary."
Yu Che didn't know what Bai Qige meant by what he said. Seeing the calmness and sophistication on his broken face that didn't match his age, Yu Che couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at? You're crying and laughing in the blink of an eye. Are you stupid?" Her meditation was interrupted by giggles. Bai Qige looked up at Yu Che, feeling confused.
Yu Che laughed for a while before he stopped. He rubbed his sore cheeks, covered his mouth and pointed at Bai Qige, joking: "The serious look of the young lady is very similar to that of His Highness. It's no wonder that people say that husband and wife are destined to be together. It seems that the young lady is born with a destiny."
This marriage has been destined by God, and there is no way to escape it."
Bai Qige couldn't laugh at the casual joke.
Fate is determined by fate, fate is determined by man, so what if God wants them to be together? His heart has long been buried in a foreign country with Princess Hongxiao.
