Her feet were well placed on the ground and it didn't bother anyone. Of course she wouldn't like being stepped on for no reason. Concubine Jing was around and it was difficult to talk. Yi Chenjing raised her head and glared at Bai Qige.
Staring was useless, Bai Qige pretended that she didn't see anything at all, and when she put down her things and stood up, she kicked her hard again. While chatting and laughing with Concubine Jing, she completely ignored Yi Chenjing who stopped talking and was blowing his beard and glaring at the side.
"Come on, come on, let's try the fish soup first. It's very fresh." Concubine Jing cheered up, with a child-like smile on her not-so-old face, "It's been a long time since I've eaten angelfish. This is only available in the South China Sea.
It can only be caught in a fishing village. When I was young, Jing'er even cried with me just to drink some soup."
"His Royal Highness is really sensible when he grows up. He won't cry over fish soup anymore." It was half a joke and half a tease. Bai Qige helped Concubine Jing to sit at the round table. She glanced at Yi Chenjing intentionally or unintentionally, and saw him.
The deputy looked aggrieved because he had suffered a loss and had no way to explain. The only thing he could do was to stare back.
Yi Chenjing was extremely puzzled. He had no idea where he had offended her. He was so peaceful and peaceful on the way back. Why did he suddenly go against him everywhere as if he had a deep hatred? It couldn't be because he gave her a hairpin but didn't.
She? She obviously said she didn't need it, so why is she so angry now? It's true that a woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, and she can't figure it out even if she racks her brains.
After hastily drinking a bowl of fish soup, Yi Chenjing coaxed and persuaded Concubine Jing to give up the ridiculous idea of letting everyone drink up all the fish soup in one night, and asked Suyan Surao to send Concubine Jing back to her room to rest. After everyone left,
Crossing his arms, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Qige, who was looking at a leisurely look: "You're in a good mood, but you want to cause trouble for yourself?"
"It was you who made the mistake first, no one else is to blame."
"Tell me, where did I go wrong?" Yi Chenjing snorted, pulled up a stool and sat on the opposite side.
It turned out to be an afterthought, Bai Qige secretly sighed. Yi Chenjing was undoubtedly a good general when marching and fighting, and he also had the wisdom to be superior to others when fighting for power. But when it came to feelings, no matter how dedicated and infatuated Yi Chenjing was, he couldn't do it.
Covering up the incomprehension of the nature of the human heart.
Yi Chenjing had said that she would not marry any woman, and her title as a princess was not worthy of her name, let alone Suyan and Surao. Bai Qige didn't know why Surao was doing this, but she knew that Suyan truly loved Yi Chenjing.
Chen Jing's, even though they have been a concubine for more than a year and have not yet become husband and wife, Suyan still serves the concubine wholeheartedly, manages Lianchenxuan meticulously and thoughtfully, and entrusts her whole life to a man who has no affection for her.
On the body.
Bai Qige put away her smile and sighed softly: "If you really don't have any affection for Sister Suyan, then don't show her a gentle face from time to time. You will make her misunderstand and mistakenly think that it is you who cares about her.
Emotions, this kind of expectation that is destined to have no ending is too cruel."
"Why are you talking about this so politely?" Yi Chenjing also lost her smile and frowned tightly.
Suyan and Surao were both concubines that the concubine Jing took a liking to and asked the queen to grant her the title of concubine. He was not allowed to refuse at all. However, he could not let go of the red ribbon and have sex with other women. In his opinion, it was a blasphemy against the red ribbon.
and betrayal. In his position, he had too many compulsions. He originally thought that it would be best to maintain this unclear relationship and be gentle with them as much as possible to compensate. After listening to Bai Qige's words, Yi Chenjing suddenly realized that this false tenderness
It can also be regarded as a kind of torture.
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, and the more painful it is to fall into the abyss.
"That's all, you can think about it yourself." Bai Qige picked out a few pastries and snacks and put them away. She got up and walked to the door of Nuandian to return to Huixiju. She was very tired after shopping all afternoon and had no energy to talk to her anymore.
Yi Chenjing discusses the emotional issues of constantly cutting things off and turning them into chaos.
"Qi Ge," Yi Chenjing said suddenly, looking at the thin figure at the door and lowering his voice, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face, "Are you... wronged?"
Bai Qige understood what he was referring to. She said that Su Yan was pitiful, so why was she the same? They were all prisoners bound by a man's status as wife and concubine and could not be free. The difference was that Su Yan loved him, and she... she felt sorry for Yi Chen.
Jing, what kind of feeling is it?
This problem has been bothering me for many days. Bai Qige, who has never been in love before, can clearly distinguish the love and hate of others, but she still doesn't understand who Yi Chenjing is in her heart. She thinks she is worthy of relying on and worthy of helping him fight for it.
Is he the right man for the throne, or is he a creditor who owes him a debt and must repay it at all costs, or is he just like Yi Chenjing in Suyan's eyes, a man who makes her heart beat and admire her?
If it is the last possibility, then she is afraid that she will be trapped in the mud and be doomed.
White snowflakes were still falling outside. She closed the door and walked into the wind and snow. Bai Qige didn't give any answer to the man who stood silently.
No matter what, she will do her best to help him get the country he wants. This is a kind of paranoia, a paranoia without any reason, even though she once hated Yi Chenjing so much that she wanted to kill him, cut out his heart, lungs, and bones.
Yang Ash, even though he had deeply hurt her and almost destroyed her physically and mentally.
If you say crazy, that's probably it.
Walking back to Huixi Residence with inexplicable emotions, in the lonely courtyard, only Yu Che's room was lit, and the petite figure sitting at the table was reflected in the window. Bai Qige went back to her room and then quietly walked to Yu Che
Listening in front of the door, there was no sound in the house. It seemed that Yu Che no longer cried incessantly like he did a few days ago.
Sighing silently, Bai Qige placed a baggage and a few snacks she had brought back in front of the door, and gently knocked on the door.
"The carriages and horses have been arranged. We will pick you up early the day after tomorrow. All the necessary gifts and luggage are prepared and left at the door. If you are missing anything, just tell Zhan Ting. It's cold and slippery. Take good care of yourself on the way. When you arrive in Zhaoguo
Remember to ask someone to bring a message back, so that I don't have to worry in vain."
Unexpectedly, she didn't get any response. Bai Qige smiled bitterly and turned back to her room.
When the courtyard returned to silence and Bai Qige's room was lit up with dim candlelight, the door that had been closed for several days quietly opened a crack. Her pale cheeks were much thinner, and her two watery eyes were bright red. Through the crack, she looked at
Looking outside.
Yu Che heard every word Bai Qige said clearly, and he had thought about it a lot in the past few days. Bai Qige cared about her like a sister, was intimate with her without saying anything, and taught her to distinguish between good and evil.
, everything lingered in her mind. However, she really couldn't accept the cruel fact that her trusted master was actually a murderer, not to mention that Bai Qige killed Princess Hongxiao, a kind-hearted girl who was deeply loved by the people of Zhao Kingdom.
Conspiracy, jealousy, rape, violence, killing, and the terrible truth shrouded Yu Che's mind like a nightmare. If she didn't leave her, she would collapse, and she would lose her mind and go crazy because of the collapse of her faith.
Opening the door and kneeling in front of the baggage and a pile of snacks, Yu Che suddenly covered his face and burst into tears.
Hibiscus candies, goose fat cakes, candied fruits...everything is what she likes to eat. When Bai Qige was not taken seriously by others and was often bullied by Yi Chenjing, these little snacks would occasionally be sent secretly through Suyan's kindness.
There were very few snacks, and Bai Qige knew that she liked to eat them. Every time, she would excuse herself that she had a bad appetite and push them to her, while she would hold up the crude tea and watch her gobble it up with a smile. No matter how hard the days were, they had to rely on each other to survive.
, but now...
Those memories will never be erased.
The night wind broke her tears, and rolled up snowflakes into the house. Yu Che wiped his cold cheeks and stood up to walk out of the room. He had made up his mind to leave, but at least said another word to the lady, even if it was just a farewell.
Well, after all, after spending more than half a year together in the palace, Yu Che always regarded Bai Qige as his closest relative, even though he had never spoken to her.
As soon as one foot stepped out of the room, the sound of soft footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard. Yu Che's heart tightened and he subconsciously retreated into the room and closed the door tightly.
There was a gentle knock on the door, followed by a woman's clear voice: "Is the prince and concubine here?"
A moment later, the sound of the door opening fell into my ears again, followed by Bai Qige's soft, slightly confused voice.
"Who are you……?"
"This servant is the maid of Madam Qi from the Yaohe Palace. Madam is in a hurry and wants to see the princess, so she came here to show me the way."
Looking back at the hourglass, it was almost midnight. What could Madam Qi do to her at this time? Looking suspiciously at the little maid who lowered her head and spoke softly, Bai Qige asked carefully: "Mrs. Qi, don't you?"
Just in the Yaohing Palace? Why should I ask you to lead the way? Besides, it is inconvenient to go out so late. Why did Mrs. Qi let you come alone? How dangerous it is."
"Prince Concubine, you don't believe me?" The maid seemed aggrieved. She put down the palace lantern and rummaged around on her waist. She took out something and handed it to Bai Qige. "This is the longevity lock that Madam Qi gave to me. Madam said,
The princess will believe it when she sees this."
Bai Qige took the longevity lock and looked at it carefully. The longevity lock made of sterling silver was engraved with the word "Lin'er" on both sides. She suddenly remembered that she had seen this lock when she helped Mrs. Qi change clothes who was hiding here.
Longevity Lock, Mrs. Qi also said that "Lin'er" is the name of the unborn child. Both boys and girls must be called this name. It seems that this little maid was indeed sent by Mrs. Qi.
"Princess, please hurry up. Madam Qi sneaked out behind His Highness's back and is waiting in the garden. If you delay any longer, Your Highness may find you."
There must be something important to escape so late. Bai Qige put on her cloak and closed the door. She followed the little maid outside without hesitation. She was worried that as the little maid said, Mrs. Qi's coming out would be revealed by Yi Chenxuan.
I found out that I still don’t know how much pain Mrs. Qi will suffer.
After the two figures disappeared outside the courtyard, there was a soft sound from the window of Yu Che's room, and a pair of eyes behind the gap were filled with confusion.
"So familiar..." Yu Che murmured softly to himself. He walked to the courtyard and looked in the direction the two of them were leaving. He always felt that the little maid seemed to have seen him somewhere before. She looked very familiar. She had been to the Yaohe Palace before, but
I didn’t meet any maid, how could I have met her?
After searching hard in his mind, a flash of light suddenly flashed through his mind, and Yu Che's heart suddenly went cold.
It's her! The maid who betrayed Jialingxiang to frame Bai Qige!
