"Who?" Bai Qige didn't have time to get dressed. She put on her coat and leaned against the screen. She picked up the vase on the table next to her and looked warily at the door through the gap in the screen.
"Who else can be there besides me?" Yi Chenjing closed the door and deliberately lowered his voice, "Do you think the emperor's palace is a common people's market, and anyone can come in if they want? There are people guarding outside, and no one can do it without my order.
Half a step into it.”
Just now, Bai Qige was changing her clothes and organizing her thoughts. In her haste, she didn't think twice about it. When she saw Yi Chenjing coming in, she put down the vase and relaxed her tense spirit again.
"That father-in-law at the door is your subordinate?"
Yi Chenjing hummed, and as he spoke, he walked to the screen. Seeing that there were only old clothes on the table and no clothes to change, he thought Bai Qige had already put them away, but because he felt that the screen was in the way, he pushed it away, and a sheet of snow-white came into view.
"What are you doing?!" Bai Qige didn't expect that he would be so reckless. The coat he had just taken off was still hanging on his arms. He was only wearing a middle coat and it was untied. His snow-white neck and chest were all exposed in front of Yi Chenjing.
A blush instantly burned from the base of her neck to the top of her head. Bai Qige grabbed her clothes and threw them in Yi Chenjing's face. Without hesitation, she kicked him hard on the side of his legs: "Don't go out yet! I'll slit your eyelids if I look at you again."
superior!"
Yi Chenjing never expected that Bai Qige behind the screen was half-naked. Facing the angry and shy woman, she was only surprised and stood there dumbfounded.
There was a clatter, and Bai Qige, who was furious, pulled the screen back and stood between the two of them. Even the gap was tightly covered with old clothes. She seemed to have forgotten that if Yi Chenjing really wanted to see, he could go around the screen and take a look.
Bliss to the eyes.
After being stunned, Yi Chenjing held her breath and turned her back to the screen. She coughed twice and handed the thrown clothes behind the screen. Her tone could not hide her embarrassment: "I... I thought you had finished wearing your clothes..."
"You think? You think it can come true? Then why don't you think that you are the only one who has peace in the world? It's simply unreasonable!"
Didn't he say anything before the change was finished? How could he know if he didn't say it? He couldn't tell who was unreasonable. Yi Chenjing smiled bitterly and stood staring at the door, ignoring Bai Qige's angry sarcasm. Is she a woman?
, there are always times when you are not in a good mood and want to show off your words. At this time, you have to give in, otherwise it will never end.
Bai Qige quickly changed her clothes and walked out of the screen. She glared at Yi Chenjing fiercely: "Why are you running here? Are you showing off how fast you change clothes?"
"Of course not. You have to ask what's going on when there is such a big commotion, so you can think about what to say and what to do next." Yi Chenjing turned around and felt uneasy when she saw Bai Qige's blushing cheeks.
He looked away. He couldn't explain what was wrong with him. Logically speaking, he and Bai Qige had already had sex more than once. Now it was just an accident and he saw the half-covered body. There was no need to be so embarrassed.
.It seems that deep down in his heart, the Bai Qige in front of him is not the woman who was once Cheng Huan's body, but another person, a person he is familiar with but doesn't understand, who wants to stay by his side but doesn't want to be tarnished.
The time to change clothes cannot be delayed for too long. Bai Qige told Yi Chenjing what happened in a concise and concise manner, and at the same time expressed her inner worries.
"I suspect that the longevity lock was snatched by Yi Chenxuan. Mrs. Qi probably wouldn't have teamed up to deceive me. As for the prince, he was probably deceived in the name of Jin Zhaoyi." Mantengteng put it away.
After changing clothes, Bai Qige looked at the ground in trance, biting her thin lips lightly, "It seems that this incident is most likely a trap set by Yi Chenxuan and Zuo Prime Minister. This can also explain why there were rumors before.
I didn’t expect that even Prime Minister Zuo would start to be wary of you if there were rumors between me and the prince.”
Yi Chenjing shook his head: "Not necessarily. The left prime minister is far inferior to the five emperor brothers in terms of power and intelligence. The right prime minister is his biggest enemy. If you want to cooperate, you will only see half the benefits. He really wants to use this matter to kill you and me.
, only the Fifth Emperor Brother."
"No matter who the mastermind is or who wants to target you, the top priority is to clear your name as soon as possible and get out of the predicament." Bai Qige sighed quietly, "If I am not wrong, Concubine Jin must have definite evidence in her hand to dare to act so recklessly.
Yes, if the emperor believes it to be true, the punishment for both you and the prince will not be light, and more serious punishments may even destroy your previous efforts to hide your forbearance."
After a moment of silence with her hands behind her back, Yi Chenjing suddenly raised her hand to help Bai Qige straighten her clothes, with a hint of softness in her eyes.
"Why don't you think about yourself? Doesn't it feel aggrieved and annoying to be convicted of an innocent crime?"
This is not the time to feel aggrieved and angry. The suffering he suffered under his hatred before was a hundred times more painful than this, and now the twists and turns are not worth mentioning. Taking a long breath, Bai Qige looked at Yi Chenjing: "Even if he is found guilty of adultery,
It’s not like I’m going to die, I just don’t want to see all your years of hard work go down the drain - look at what I’m doing, there’s nothing written on my face.”
Yi Chenjing kept his persistent eyes on Bai Qige's face. He heard her words clearly and tasted her aura, and saw that her brows were furrowed.
Bai Qige exudes an unobtrusive but real dazzling light. He has only recently discovered her pride, her extraordinary wisdom, and her strength and bravery that are far beyond ordinary women. He has to admit that the Bai Qige in front of him is like Lian Hongxiao.
It couldn't be compared to it. The light he saw so close was so alluring that he couldn't help but want to take it for himself.
It was not the first time that he was suddenly hugged, but this was the first time when Yi Chenjing was sober that he took the initiative without any negative emotions. Bai Qige was a little dazed, and subconsciously struggled against his chest slightly.
"It's okay, don't be afraid of anything." A voice that was almost a whisper lingered in his ears. Yi Chenjing's unique aura and Bai Qige's surprise were entangled for a moment. The palms on her waist and behind her head were gentle and steady, "I am here, no one is here."
can hurt you."
If this was considered a confession, it could be said that it was obtained without any effort. Unfortunately, she understood that Yi Chenjing's tenderness was not for her, but for her use value. The corners of her lips that were invisible against her neck turned up bitterly.
, Bai Qige closed her eyes and rested her forehead gently on her broad shoulders.
Whether it's true or false, love or hate, Yi Chenjing can do whatever he wants. That's his freedom. Even if it's all a drama, she still can't resist shirk-she has committed a crime in her life.
A big mistake, a big mistake that would make her irrecoverable.
She fell in love with the man who ruined her body and mind and made her hate her to the bone.
Falling in love with Yi Chenjing.
Such a docile Bai Qige was obviously beyond Yi Chenjing's expectations. She lowered her head slightly, and the woman who dared to kick him a moment ago was as quiet as if she was asleep. The scars she was used to seeing were also silent, making people unbearable to disturb her.
"I want to have a good talk with you after this incident is over. I have something important to tell you." Caressing her belly from an angle that Yi Chenjing couldn't see, Bai Qige made up her mind to tell Yi Chenjing that she was pregnant after the incident.
Regarding his child. She wanted the child to be born. No matter whether the child was what he expected or not, it would still be his flesh and blood.
"Your Highness, it's time to come out. If you wait too long, you might be suspicious." The eunuch outside knocked on the door and whispered.
"Okay, you know how to deal with it, and be cautious in front of the father." Yi Chenjing patted Bai Qige on the back and took a deep breath, "I will find a way to contain Concubine Jin, since the Fifth Emperor Brother has made it clear that he wants to deal with her.
I, there is no need for me to continue to swallow my anger. Qi Ge, the counterattack is about to begin. There will only be more and more dirty traps like this in the future. Are you ready?"
Bai Qige raised the corner of her mouth and nodded, her clear eyes showing no fear.
Maybe Yi Chenjing will not become her world, but she will do her best to give him the world he wants. With his ambition and pride, he should be the king of Zhongzhou and the dragon among men.
Returning to the main hall of the palace again, Emperor Yao had already listened to Concubine Jin and the Crown Prince's speeches. His thick and long eyebrows were knitted into a ball, and his expression was much more serious than before. According to the meaning behind Concubine Jin's words, the relationship between Bai Qige and the Crown Prince
There has been an affair for a long time, and if someone with knowledge hadn't secretly reported it, it would have been kept secret for a long time. If Concubine Jin had just said nothing, Emperor Yao would not have believed these rumors. He had met Bai Qige for the first time at the banquet.
He began to pay attention to Yi Chenjing, his married wife, and soon discovered from Tao Shihai's report that she was different from other women - she was smart and knew how to measure.
"First Concubine Jin said that we happened to meet each other, and then she said that a servant secretly informed her. Which one should I believe?" Emperor Yao sat at the square table and said calmly.
Concubine Jin hurriedly knelt on the ground, her head lowered: "What I said before was to protect the servants who reported the report from being poisoned. Please take a closer look. In addition, in addition to the personal evidence, I also have physical evidence. I just went to the lake early."
Order people to go to Lianchenxuan and the East Palace to verify, and all the witnesses and physical evidence should be here now."
"Since it's here, let it be known. If you want to check, check it out as soon as possible."
Tao Shihai responded to the order and brought the three people waiting outside the palace into the main hall. Two of them could tell from their attire that they were regular maids. When the third person appeared, not only Bai Qige but also Yi Chenjing was shocked.
"My concubine Surao has met the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor." The girl's voice, as clear as a bell, was as sweet as sugar, but it was extremely harsh in Bai Qige's ears.
It is not possible to remember all the concubines in the palace, and a prince's concubine naturally cannot occupy a place in Emperor Yao's memory. Emperor Yao narrowed his eyes and said in a slightly cold voice: "Who is this?"
"I am the concubine of His Highness the Seventh Prince. I have been in Lianchenxuan for more than a year. The Emperor is busy with state affairs every day, so naturally he cannot remember a drop in the ocean, but I often hear His Highness mention the Emperor's sage——"
"That's enough, there's no need to say more if it's useless." Yaohuang waved his hand impatiently to stop Surao from talking any more. When his eyes passed over Bai Qige, he still didn't have the slightest doubt, "Just tell me what you know, but remember, if you dare to say anything,
If you tell a lie, I will punish you in my own way."
Su Rao's petite body shook without trace, and she turned her head slightly to look at Concubine Jin. The two looked at each other, then bowed their heads and knelt down obediently. The three juniors stood, and Concubine Jin, as the elder, knelt down.
The emperor also felt that it was unreasonable and didn't bother to look at it. He waved his hand casually and asked the two of them to stand up and stand together in front of the couch.
Knowing in her heart that she did not please Emperor Yao, Surao, who was worried, bravely opened her mouth and spoke timidly, her voice not loud, but her words were shocking.
"I once saw with my own eyes that His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were talking and laughing as if they were intimate, and...and the Crown Princess left Lianchenxuan many times at night and didn't come back until early the next morning!"
