The Jialingxiang incident can be basically confirmed to be the work of the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan, so the maid who called Bai Qige away just now must be one of Yi Chenxuan's subordinates. Although Yu Che couldn't see clearly the quarrels and disturbances among the princes, she was very
Understand the consequences once Bai Qige falls into the hands of the fifth prince, it will definitely be more painful than death.
Regardless of everything, he rushed outside the courtyard. Bai Qige's hurried figure was disappearing at the corner of the high wall. However, Yu Che, who had not eaten well for several days, really had no strength to continue chasing. He wanted to open his mouth and call out to Bai Qige, but he was speechless.
But no sound came out of his throat, and he could only watch the figure leave.
It was freezing cold, and Yu Che, who was only wearing single clothes, fell to the ground with his feet, and the cold snow in his hands was cold to the bone.
You can't go with that person, it's dangerous, it's dangerous, miss! The hot tears kept falling to the ground, and big holes were made in the smooth snow. Yu Che clenched his fists and bit his lower lip, desperately telling himself not to cry.
Be calm, didn't the lady say it? The more critical the situation, the more you must learn to be calm. There is no use crying, it is a sign of weakness, so be strong. No matter what, you must find someone to save the lady!
Holding on to the wall, he reluctantly stood up and tried his best to control his weak and trembling legs to move forward. His soft lower lip was bitten and a few drops of red blood flowed down the lip line. At this time, Yu Che was no longer in the mood to return to Zhao Kingdom.
Or something, she just hopes to find that person soon and let him save Bai Qige. If Bai Qige has any shortcomings, she will never forgive herself in this life.
After leaving the Nuan Palace, Yi Chenjing did not return to the bedroom, but ran directly to the study. The things that had been delayed all afternoon had to be made up overnight, otherwise Long Yan would be furious when Emperor Yao asked tomorrow.
Less than half an hour after sitting in front of the desk, there was a strange sound outside, like the rustling sound of something dragging on the ground, and it seemed to be mixed with the occasional sob of a woman. Yi Chenjing frowned slightly, stood up and opened the door.
Looking outside, he suddenly took a breath of cold air when his eyes touched the petite figure in the courtyard.
"Yu Che?!"
Yi Chenjing hurriedly ran over to help the maid who was dying from the cold, and carried her into the study. Her eyes were full of anxiety: "What happened? Where is Qi Ge? Isn't she at Huixiju?"
Yu Che tried his best to open his mouth but could not speak. His lips, which were purple from the cold, kept trembling. He could only hold on to the corner of Yi Chenjing's clothes and shed tears. She almost crawled all the way from Huixiju to the study.
The already weak legs that came over became increasingly numb in the severe cold. If it weren't for the belief in saving Bai Qige, she would have frozen to death halfway by now.
After slowing down for a stick of incense, Yu Che could barely speak. His hoarse voice was rough and anxious: "Save Miss... hurry up, hurry up to the garden... I was taken away to the garden by the maid... It's the fifth prince..."
Yu Che's words were no less than thunderous. Yi Chenjing was stunned for a while before he could piece together what Yu Che wanted to express. His eyes tightened and his palms clenched into fists involuntarily.
Now the brotherly relationship between him and Yi Chenxuan is only on the surface. In private, you know me and I know you, and they both regard each other as the biggest rival outside the prince's faction, and the wily Yi Chenxuan has already regarded Bai Qige as his target.
The target, even after exposing her ambition, still brings her countless threats. If Bai Qige falls into his hands, the consequences will only be more terrifying than imagined.
"Which garden was she taken to? Is it the Royal Garden or which one?" Yi Chenjing shook the pale-faced Yu Che vigorously, and all the impatience was written on Yi Chenjing's face.
"They didn't say..." Yu Che shook his head in pain. The maid only asked Bai Qige to follow her but did not explain which garden it was. When she thought about it, Yu Che realized that she had missed the most important information. She became anxious and sobbed.
It turned into crying: "Your Highness, please save the young lady...Please, Your Highness, please save the young lady..."
Taking a fierce breath, Yi Chenjing punched the wooden couch with his fist. His eyes were filled with coldness and anger. Without saying a word, he left the study and went straight to Zhan Ting's residence.
Even if Yu Che begged him pitifully, he would still save Bai Qige. There is no doubt about this. Putting aside the identity of the prince and concubine, to him, Bai Qige is equivalent to a confidant who is as important as Zhan Ting. He is both civil and military, and his right-hand man.
No one can do it. His goal is the entire Zhongzhou, the country and the country. It is not enough to conquer the world with one person's wisdom and brute force. Bai Qige's delicate sensitivity can exactly make up for his arbitraryness, so...
Therefore, he needs her and Bai Qige who belongs only to him.
This night was destined not to be peaceful. Bai Qige naturally didn't know that there was someone in Lianchen Pavilion who was more worried than her. She silently followed the hurried maid and walked quickly to the most remote garden in the northeast corner of the palace.
"This place is far away from Lianchen Pavilion and Yaohe Palace. Why did Madam Qi choose to meet here?" Bai Qige became more and more confused as she walked, and the eyes of the maid in front became more and more wary. During the day, she met Madam Qi and Jin Zhao.
When Yi Chen met, it was calm and there was nothing unusual at that time. Why did Mrs. Qi carry Yi Chenxuan on her back to such a remote place in the middle of the night instead of going directly to Huixiju to find her? Is it because she was afraid of being betrayed by Yi Chen?
When Xuan's men found out, did they not want to cause trouble to her, or did they have another hidden agenda?
The little maid seemed very impatient and answered casually without even turning her head: "It's coming soon, my lady is waiting by the garden lake."
Bai Qige stopped saying anything and secretly regretted not bringing the dagger with her for self-defense. After the excitement passed and she calmed down, she suddenly thought, isn't Mrs. Qi's maid also Yi Chenxuan's servant? However, the longevity lock is indeed
There is no doubt about Mrs. Qi that Mrs. Qi would never give Yi Chenxuan the things she prepared for the child, and she would not even let him know about it. There are many things that cannot be justified in saying that Yi Chenxuan sent someone to pretend to be Mrs. Qi and tricked her out.
Firstly, he would not attack Bai Qige without any reason. Doing so would anger Yi Chenjing and do him no good; secondly, Yi Chenxuan also had Su Jinyan under his command, so even if he lost his mind, he would not be able to do anything.
The reason is that if he wanted to kill her, he wouldn't choose such a troublesome way.
Just as she was thinking about it, the little maid in front suddenly stopped, turned around and pointed to the lake far away: "Can you see the boat, Princess? The lady is waiting for you inside. It is inconvenient for me to get too close. Please go alone."
Looking towards the lake, a group of black shadows swayed slightly in the deep night. If you listened closely, you could hear the sound of rushing water. Sure enough, there was a boat parked on the shore. This lake is called Yingyue Lake, and it is the only one in the palace.
The hot spring is also a wonderful sight. Only here in the cold winter can you see the flowing water and the rippling waves.
Is it a blessing or a curse? It is a curse that cannot be avoided. No matter who he is, since he is here, he should find out clearly. Bai Qige hesitated for a moment and decided to find out. She made up her mind and walked towards the boat. Because she was too focused on that
He was on a boat, but he didn't even realize that the little maid behind him had disappeared without a trace.
Stepping on the rickety observation boat, a few rays of gentle candlelight came out from behind the cabin curtain. Bai Qige gently opened the curtain and looked inside. The people inside also looked up when they heard someone stepping on the boat, and their eyes met.
They all exclaimed in unison.
"Princess?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
Who was Mrs. Qi sitting in the cabin? She was clearly the Prince of Dayao, Yi Chenyu, with whom there were false scandals.
There is no need to say anything. There is no doubt that this is another plot. She took a breath and quickly exited the cabin. Bai Qige took a chance and wanted to leave before anyone noticed. The ridiculous rumors between the prince and the prince in the past two days
The rumor was spreading so fast that if he did not rest in the palace and went to a secluded lakeside to meet alone in the middle of the night, if someone discovered it, it would greatly increase the credibility of the rumor. At that time, the situation for the prince, her, and Yi Chenjing would be quite embarrassing.
unfavorable.
"Why is the princess here?" The prince is not good at strategizing, and he has no eyesight for intrigues and frame-up designs. He was very confused when he saw Bai Qige leaving as soon as she appeared. He actually got up and chased Bai Qige out of the cabin and grabbed Bai Qige, "It's the brocade that made you
Are you here? Didn’t you say you have something important to tell me? Why didn’t you come in person? Did something happen or do you feel unwell? "
Luo Li was verbose and didn't even think about how urgent the situation is now. Men who talk too much are not liked by Bai Qige. Now it's urgent. The prince is still nagging endlessly. Bai Qige really wants to punch him.
Let the prince sleep for a day and a night, or at least stop blocking her way.
Of course, she couldn't do this, it would be courting death.
Shaking off the prince's hand, Bai Qige tried her best to remain calm and said: "Someone is causing trouble tonight. I will explain the details to His Royal Highness later. The most important thing now is to leave here. Your Highness does not want to be discovered with other people in the middle of the night."
Girls’ private meeting?”
"It was Jin Cu who sent a message asking me to wait for her here. Why didn't she come?" The prince was still unwilling to give in. There was a hint of childlike stubbornness in his confused expression.
"Then just wait here, I want to go back."
There was no time to wait for the trap to appear. Bai Qige was so anxious that she even forgot to use her honorific. She only wanted to leave as soon as possible. However, how could she escape from the dragnet? Before she even stepped ashore, she would be dozens of feet away.
Flares of fire lit up in the corridor outside, and more than a dozen figures broke through the night with chaotic footsteps, and they appeared in front of Bai Qige and the prince unsurprisingly.
The corners of her tall eyes were full of arrogance and hostility, her red lips pursed into a sarcastic smile, and she was dressed in a gorgeous concubine's robe, which marked her distinguished status as a second-class concubine. With a group of palace maids, eunuchs, and guards, she burst into view. She was the one who had almost killed her.
Concubine Jin who took Bai Qige's life.
"Hey, what kind of fuss is this? This really surprises me." In front of all the servants, Concubine Jin showed an expression of extreme surprise, but her narrow and bright eyes could not hide the look of pride,
"I heard a secret report from my servants that someone in the harem is having an affair. I have been conducting rigorous investigations day and night these past few days. I didn't want to accidentally discover a terrible secret. Your Highness, the Crown Princess, what happened tonight?
What’s the explanation?”
Bai Qige didn't answer and looked around carefully, but unfortunately she found nothing. As expected, the little maid who led the way was nowhere to be found.
What answer can you give, telling Concubine Jin that you were deceived into coming here in order to provide Concubine Jin with an opportunity to "break out" her secret meeting with the prince? Or should you be more straightforward and tell everyone that everything is a trap and that someone is here?
Lang Zi's ambition is to destabilize the crown prince's position, and at the same time remove her as a thorn in his side?
She lowered her head expressionlessly, her nails digging into the flesh of her palms, causing slight pain. Bai Qige gritted her teeth, anger and regret welling up in her heart.
