It was already the second morning when Yi Chenjing returned to Lianchenxuan. She was filled with wind and snow and cold. As soon as she entered the door, Concubine Jing in the Nuan Palace shivered.
"Jing'er, why are you back now? Jin Zhaoyi has been waiting for you all night!"
Jin Zhaoyi? Only then did Yi Chenjing realize that Jin Zhaoyi was sitting aside. The dark circles under her eyes were proof that she had not slept well last night. Thinking about it, it was not surprising. It was not only Bai Qige but also the prince who had an accident. The entire palace
Apart from Emperor Yao and the Queen, the person who cares most about the prince is Jin Zhaoyi. At least she cares about the prince's safety instead of only caring about whether she will be affected like the princess.
"The Queen's investigation has been intensive these two days, and it's not convenient for me to go out. I just came here last night when I had some free time." Jin Zhaoyi also had a look of anxiety on his face, and his voice was hoarse. It was obvious that he had cried before, "Can the Seventh Prince
Can you lend me a moment? I have something important to talk about."
Even if Jin Zhaoyi didn't take the initiative to find Yi Chenjing, he would still go to find her. The prince admitted privately that the jade bone fan that was rumored to be recovered from Bai Qige's room should have been at Jin Zhaoyi's place. Maybe it could be obtained from Jin Zhaoyi.
Yi Chu asked for some clues. Yi Chenjing nodded and was about to go to the study with Jin Zhaoyi to talk when Concubine Jing suddenly stood up and knocked the ground with her rosewood cane.
"Mother?"
"How can I still have time to discuss it with you? Jing'er, please follow me to find the Queen to plead for mercy. There is no one serving in the Wanghua Palace. Who will take care of Xiao Yingge when she is pregnant? This is already the fifth day.
, How can she bear it if it continues any longer?" After saying that, Concubine Jing's eyes turned red and she was about to burst into tears.
Although Jin Zhaoyi and Concubine Jing were both concubines of the distant emperor, their status was very different after all. Seeing that Concubine Jing was so excited and prevented her from talking to Yi Chenjing, she became more and more anxious.
"Don't worry, mother, I have my father's decree and I can go see Qi Ge at any time." Comforting Concubine Jing in a low voice, Yi Chenjing glanced at Su Yan intentionally or unintentionally, took a deep breath and said calmly, "I won't let her
And the children suffer.”
In other words, he decided to let Bai Qige give birth to the child. Suyan lowered her head and smiled, a little sad, but more pleased.
Finally, a woman other than Princess Hongxiao can come into his heart. He no longer has to watch him frowning at the moon. He no longer has to watch him go to the Red Maple Forest every year and come back full of disappointment. If it is Bai Qige, she will definitely be able to solve the problem.
The knot in his heart is that only a woman who is as strong and stubborn as him can always be by his side and share his worries.
"Your Highness!" Before he could go out, Zhan Ting's urgent call came from outside the courtyard. Yi Chenjing's face darkened and he hurriedly walked outside the room.
After learning that Bai Qige was pregnant, he told Zhan Ting to secretly guard Wanghua Palace. Zhan Ting would never leave his post without his personal orders. Pulling Zhan Ting, who was looking nervous, there was anger in Yi Chenjing's eyes:
"Who asked you to come back?!"
Zhan Ting did not answer directly, but raised a bamboo tube in front of Yi Chenjing and lowered his head in shame: "My subordinate is incompetent and fell into someone else's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. When he returned to Wanghua Palace, he found this incense on the ground...
"
"Where is Qi Ge? Is Qi Ge okay?"
"The door to Princess Qi'an's room was always closed. The eunuch guarding the door insisted that no one had gone in, but no matter how many times she called Princess Qi'an, there was no answer..."
If Bai Qige was fine and shouldn't have responded, it was most likely that someone had gone in, and the two eunuchs had been stunned by the incense but did not dare to admit it because they were afraid of taking responsibility. Yi Chenjing's heart froze, and his eyes became cold.
She doesn't know kung fu and is pregnant with a child. If something happens... she doesn't dare to think about it anymore.
Pushing Zhan Ting away violently, Yi Chenjing didn't care whether there was anyone watching around him. He clutched Emperor Yao's oracle in his sleeve and ran towards Wanghua Palace quickly, not wanting to delay any more. It took a lot of effort for him to understand something.
He made the decision to protect her and the child, and no one could let him suffer the pain of losing his loved one again - anyone who dared to touch her hair would definitely be punished with death!
But, does he still have a chance?
In Wanghua Palace, two eunuchs banged on the door desperately and shouted and cried. Their palms were red and red, but there was no sound in the room. At first, they thought Bai Qige was resting and didn't take it seriously. When Zhan Ting rushed in and saw Mi Xiang, she asked to open the door.
It was then that the two eunuchs discovered that the door was actually bolted from the inside. What was even worse was that Bai Qige in the room had not even responded even now. It was very likely that something had happened.
"Get out of the way!" Yi Chenjing barged in like a storm, throwing away the eunuch who had turned into a puddle of mud in front of the door. He pushed the door, but it didn't move. He threw the oracle on the ground, and Yi Chenjing took a deep breath and stepped back several steps.
, Zhan Ting, who was following closely behind, arrived and saw him breaking through the door, and the hard wooden door latch was broken.
Stopping the staggering steps that were too hard, a faint smell of blood penetrated into his nose. Yi Chenjing's heart was as cold as winter snow. With trembling hands, he slowly pushed open the bedroom door, and what he saw was the winding snake from the bed.
There was a large dark red blood stain on the ground. On the ground, the thin body was motionless, lying quietly in a pool of blood.
"Qi Ge..." Yi Chenjing didn't know if she had spoken out her call. It felt like she should have said it, but why didn't Bai Qi Ge respond at all? Even if she just scolded him impatiently, it would be better.
It was so quiet, almost deathly silent. He slowly squatted down, his knees unable to support the weight, and knelt on the pool of blood. He carefully picked up the pale woman with her eyes closed, and her heart felt like it was being torn apart.
This pain was more intense than when he knew that Hong Xiao was no longer alive. At that time, when he was young, he only thought that the woman he loved most would never see each other again, and he felt heartbroken and angry. Now that he has matured, he understands who is the person he cherishes the most.
, the pain became more and more intense, enough to push him into the abyss again.
Holding the bloody Bai Qige tightly, Yi Chenjing buried his head in her messy hair, but an almost inaudible moan murmured in his ears.
"Qi Ge? Qi Ge?! Open your eyes, don't fall asleep, open your eyes quickly!" He patted Bai Qi Ge's bloodless cheeks, not knowing whether he was happy or sad, his hoarse voice revealed his madness at all costs, "Go and call
Doctor, call her Doctor! She is still alive!"
Zhan Ting, who was stunned at the door, was awakened by Yi Chenjing's shout. He turned around and ran towards the Imperial Doctor's Mansion like lightning. Two gatekeepers climbed into the room on their knees. One of them was a little calmer. After looking carefully, he said tremblingly: "
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is suffering from miscarriage and blood loss!"
Yi Chenjing froze suddenly.
Miscarriage, their child...is gone?
She lowered her head in disbelief, and what she saw was shocking. Bai Qige pressed her arms tightly against her lower abdomen, and a large amount of blood spilled from her lower body. At the foot of the bed, a vermilion porcelain bottle lay quietly in the corner.
How ridiculous, he forced himself to admit his feelings, betrayed the red veil, broke his oath, made all preparations to accept her, and waited for their child to be born, but God gave him such a suffocating ending. The closest relationship between them
Contact, their children, is gone.
She was once furious because Mrs. Qi was forced to abort the child, and sternly rebuked Yi Chenxuan as a sinner and a murderer. He thought she would risk everything to protect the child, but unexpectedly, she took the medicine and destroyed him with her own hands.
A close relative of flesh and blood. Did she hate him too much, or was someone forcing her to do this?
However, no matter what the truth is, at least she is still alive, and that is enough.
The cold lips kissed the center of his eyebrows gently. In the pool of blood, Yi Chenjing tightly hugged the woman who had sacrificed so much for him. His brows were filled with ice and his eyes were cold. Each word was like a knife carving it.
"Believe me, Qi Ge, I will make them pay with blood!"
There was no peace and quiet in the Yaoguo Palace this year. At the beginning of the year, Princess Lianchenxuan was put under house arrest for allegedly having an affair with the prince. A few days later, she was diagnosed to be pregnant. Two days later, she miscarried due to weak Qi and blood.
The pregnancy was damaged, and at the same time, the Queen's residence, Qifeng Palace, released news. After investigation, it was confirmed that the affair between the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince was maliciously framed by others and was purely false.
The rumors and rumors have been purified, the palace of the distant country has been purified, and the Lianchen Pavilion has also been purified.
After giving birth, Bai Qige was in extremely poor health. She was able to save her life thanks to Imperial Physician Fang's superb medical skills and the countless rare medicinal materials sent by Emperor Yao. Even so, she still lay in bed for four days and nights before she opened her eyes again.
It took three days for her to regain consciousness. These days, Yi Chenjing stayed by the bedside. Bai Qige slept without eating or drinking, and he refused to move his chopsticks. When he was sleepy, he would drink a cup of tea to refresh himself.
When he got tired, he would lean on the bedside and take a nap, but the rest time never lasted more than an hour. His already thin face suddenly became thinner again, which made Concubine Jing feel distressed, Suyan couldn't bear it, and Yu Che felt sad.
"Your Highness, please eat something. If you continue like this, your body will be broken." Yu Che begged while holding porridge, "Your Highness misses the young lady, and why does the young lady not miss His Highness? If he wakes up and sees His Highness so haggard, let the young lady
How to recuperate with peace of mind?”
Yi Chenjing remained silent and waved her hands, her eyes bloodshot.
This decadent appearance lasted for many days. Seeing that the expedition was imminent, Yao Huang defied all opinions and postponed the date of the Northern Expedition by one month. However, no one could say for sure whether Yi Chenjing would be able to put on his armor again and march north one month later.
.
Su Yan quietly entered the room, took the porridge from Yu Che's hand and said in a low voice: "You go and rest first. Your hands and feet are still frostbitten. If you don't take good care of them, they will be useless. I will send someone to tell Sister Qi Ge immediately when she wakes up.
You, just let me come here."
Yu Che didn't have the strength and spirit of Yi Chenjing, so he couldn't stay with her to the end. She also understood that enduring her illness would make Bai Qige feel distressed. She wiped the tears from her eyes and nodded, reluctantly leaving the bedroom.
With a sad sigh, Suyan did not advise Yi Chenjing to rest or eat. Instead, he moved a stool and sat beside the bed with him, and carefully wiped Bai Qige's sweat with a hot and wet white cloth.
"I heard from Dr. Fang that my ability to persist until now is all due to sister Qi Ge's eagerness to survive. She is usually braver and stronger than anyone else. Ji people have their own destiny, so you don't have to worry too much, Your Highness."
The white palm suddenly paused, and Su Yan looked at Yi Chenjing, her eyebrows lowered, "Are you going to tell her that you may not be pregnant with another child in the future?"
The face that had been expressionless for a long time and seemed numb finally showed some changes. Yi Chenjing took Bai Qige's hand and put it to her lips, her long eyes were watery, soft and peaceful.
