The charcoal was crackling and burning in the furnace. Because more was added than usual, the temperature in the room was also much higher. However, after only sitting for a while, fine beads of sweat began to appear on Yu Che's forehead.
"Second Young Master, is it cold? I'll add more charcoal!" Bai Haocheng peeked over shyly. In front of the desk, Bai Haocheng held his forehead and was thinking about something. He didn't seem to hear her question. Yu Che was slightly disappointed, but still worried.
With a sweet smile and a voice like pearls falling from a jade plate: "Second Young Master, are you thinking about Miss? His Highness has been treating Miss very well recently. He is much more blessed than when he was in the White House."
Bai Haocheng was still silent. After a while, he suddenly asked: "Yu Che, do you feel that... Qi Ge is very different from before?"
"I haven't seen the young lady since the incident in the Bai family. When I came to Yaoguo and met again, the young lady became stronger and braver than before. She did many things that I didn't even dare to think about. The young lady did it simply and her character was great."
He is much more cheerful and straightforward than before." After a pause, Yu Che continued in a low voice, "If he hadn't met the man he liked, Yu Che would have stayed by the lady's side to serve him for the rest of his life."
"She did change a lot, not slowly after experiencing the storm, but overnight - the night she was sent back to the White House covered in scars." Bai Haocheng did not notice the shy hint of the little maid,
What he was thinking about and what he was saying were all things about Bai Qige that he had to care about. He had been holding these questions in his heart for a long time. His father was busy with military affairs all day long, his mother had to take care of the family affairs, and his younger brother Bai Haoyu was naughty and had sex with women every day.
He was the only one who didn't do his job properly and always paid attention to the only daughter of the Bai family. Therefore, he was the only one who noticed the strange changes in Bai Qige.
After getting rid of cowardice, she became smart and strong, soft on the outside but strong on the inside, as if she was a different person. Bai Qige, who now dared to love and hate, made him feel strange and at the same time couldn't help but feel, wouldn't this be better?
Some were focused, others were dejected. Yu Che looked at Bai Haocheng in deep thought. Every sentence he talked about was always about Bai Qige. Shui Ling's eyes were full of loneliness. From the moment she entered the Bai family and became Bai Qige's maid, from the moment she noticed that she was not handsome.
Since he was not good at dancing and writing, the person Bai Haocheng cared about the most every day was his sister. He never noticed that Bai Qige had her beside him, let alone that there was a girl who stayed in the Bai Mansion just for him to serve the third lady of the Bai family whom he did not like.
So many years.
There were more beads of sweat on his forehead. Yu Che wiped it with a sweat towel, made a gurgling sound in his throat, and swallowed hard.
"Second Young Master, if you have never met the woman you like, what will you do..."
A harsh sword chant drowned out Yu Che's question. Bai Haocheng stood up and rushed out of the house, leaving Yu Che sitting in shock. After a while, the clanging sound of gold and iron came from the courtyard, and it returned to silence in a short while.
.
"Someone is spying on you." Bai Haocheng hurriedly walked back to the room, frowning, "Has this happened before? Has Qi Ge been injured?"
Yu Che, who was already stunned by a series of questions, became even more confused. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and the sweat on his forehead instantly turned into cold sweat. She was so immersed in her own sadness that she didn't realize that something had just happened outside.
After a fierce fight, he saw that Bai Haocheng's upper arm and sleeve were cut by a sharp knife. He felt regretful and resentful, and slapped himself in the face.
"Yu Che, damn it! I forgot that there are always bad guys watching from outside in Huixi Residence... Is the second young master injured? I will go find His Highness right now!"
Bai Haocheng pulled Yu Che, who was about to cry, and shook his head gently: "No need, that man just tried it a few times and then stopped. He probably didn't mean to harm me, otherwise with his skill, he could have
Take my life within ten moves. It's getting late, don't bother the Seventh Prince anymore, I'll explain it to him when I have time." After pondering for a moment, Bai Haocheng's eyes showed a trace of curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask again: "Yu Che, you
Do you know who in this palace has green eyes? I saw during the fight just now——"
"Su Jinyan!" Before Bai Haocheng could finish his words, Yu Che had already shouted out.
Looking at the entire Dayao Palace, Su Jinyan is the only one with such strange and beautiful eyes.
There are distant halls, nameless courtyards, and simple houses with closed doors.
Wisps of warm aroma lingered in the nostrils, and the strange smell mixed in it was hard to name but very familiar. Su Jinyan knew that it was this rare spice that made that incense and gave it the magical effect of incapacitating people. Except for Yi Chen
No one outside Xuan knew where the spice came from or what it was called. Naturally, only he knew how to prevent it. Every time he carefully put a few pieces into the incense burner, and then Yi Chenxuan was alone in the room.
In this world - no matter how high your martial arts skills are, if you smell this fragrance for less than half a moment, you will become weak and collapse. No one can be spared.
Yi Chenxuan never trusts anyone. Anyone who can get close to him must be unable to hurt him, including his close subordinates and people beside him.
"Are you sure it's Baihao City?" The only gorgeous and extravagant thing in the empty room is the bed beside the wall, the brocade quilt and embroidered pillow, the silk ribbon hanging on the floor, and a few pieces of crimson silk fabric as thin as cicada wings, vaguely revealing the ambiguous spring light, bowing like a tiger
The man's voice was low, and there was a hint of coldness in his breathing.
Su Jinyan lowered her head, and her tone was as rigid and flat as ever: "Although we have never met him, I saw clearly the Zhaoguo Tiger Talisman on his waist when we met him just now, so there is no doubt that he is Bai Haocheng."
"There are only two people in Zhao State who hold the Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies. Now that old man Bai Jingfu has retired and returned to his hometown. It seems that the one who sneaked away to Dayao is his proud son." He rolled up the soft hair on his hand and pulled it.
Under his nose, Yi Chenxuan took a deep sniff of the faint scent of rouge, and a flash of light flashed through his tiny eyes, "I have told you before that the seventh brother with evil intentions would not leave a good chess piece unused. Look, Jinyan, he has become patient so quickly.
He lost his temper. It's a pity that the war is about to happen. Even if he sends away the concubine, what will happen if he takes Bai Qige with him? The deputy general who was originally supposed to be sent by Bai Haocheng to go on an expedition with him 'stumbled' and fell off the cliff. The general has to stay in the imperial capital.
The few remaining lieutenants who are in charge of the Royal Forest Army are all arrogant guys. He is so weak that he cannot convince the masses. I am afraid that this northern expedition will not only fail to protect important people, but will also cost noble lives."
Vicious laughter accompanied by weak moans came from behind the curtain. Su Jinyan slowly raised her eyes, a slender white forearm stretched out from the curtain, and her bony hands tightly grasped the brocade quilt, seeming to be in great pain.
If there was no important task to be carried out, maybe she would be the one lying on that bed who would be worse off than dead? She couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and at the same time, Su Jinyan felt pathetic for Mrs. Qi who kept moaning in pain, ungrateful, and repaying kindness with hatred, then
Even after the child was taken away, the woman still couldn't escape the shackles of Yi Chenxuan. She was struggling and sinking in the hell on earth, without dignity and freedom. How could she be so happy and content with it?
Disgusting, everything in this palace made him feel extremely disgusting.
"By the way, how is Bai Qige's situation? Yi Chenjing is so cruel that he wants her to abort the child, and she hates her so much?"
"You will never be happy when you lose a child." Su Jinyan's answer was ambiguous, and her beautiful lip line evoked a silent smile. Yi Chenxuan would never have thought that the person who sent Bai Qige medicine and persuaded her to abort the child was not Yi Chenxuan.
Chen Jing, but him, as for why...one day, everyone will understand.
There was a low whimper, and underneath Yi Chenxuan, the flushed Madam Qi bit her pale lips, looking pleadingly at the man who was demanding like a beast.
"Let go...the princess...please..."
"Let her go?" He thrust hard and heard suppressed moans coming from underneath him. Yi Chenxuan became more and more excited, "Bitch, you dare to plead for her? Do you know that my father and General Ou were full of praise?
Those weapons pictures were all written by Bai Qisong! If you hadn’t defected to her for some reason, I wouldn’t have been exposed. Letting you live is kind enough, but you still dare to plead for mercy, and you dare to look at me like this!"
The screams echoed in the room, the heart-breaking sounds, the love between men and women, the joy of clouds and rain has no pleasure at all here, it is just a way of punishment, torture in the world.
Scattered black hair covered the embroidered pillow. Yi Chenxuan picked up the golden walking stick with jade knots in the hair. The pointed end was pressed against Mrs. Qi's delicate cheek, and the red blood beads splashed along the walking stick.
.Looking at the beautiful face that was almost twisted in pain, Yi Chenxuan's empty chest seemed to be slightly satisfied. His lower body suddenly charged like a giant dragon, and what he was admiring was the one that had once made countless women envious and jealous.
There are countless scars on Zhang's face.
Long, short, deep, shallow, countless scars are hideous and ugly, criss-crossing, and the alluring face of the past that even dazzled Emperor Yao can no longer be seen.
Mrs. Qi closed her eyes, there were no tears to shed, they had all been shed long ago.
Bai Qige is right. She has been trapped in a cage called Yi Chenxuan her whole life and will never be freed. The veil can cover the ruined face but cannot cover the dead heart. She is crazy and possessed.
Even after being tortured to the point of being completely naked, she still couldn't let go of Yi Chenxuan, and she still couldn't let go of the only man she fell in love with in this life, even if she betrayed everyone, even if she was punished by God forever.
The storm was brewing behind the hazy clouds that no one knew about, and for half a day, there was a peaceful moment. At the same time, in the Lianchenxuan, unprecedented peace enveloped the bedroom.
After enduring it, arguing, and crying, many of the knots in her heart were resolved in one night. Bai Qige looked forward to a new world after dawn, and could stand in front of everyone with a new identity.
The one she never leaves behind.
"Didn't you say you were tired? Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Yi Chenjing closed her eyes and tightened her arms under the warm brocade quilt, not forgetting to pass on her warmth to the silent woman in her arms.
Bai Qige moved cautiously, only to be hugged harder. Her gentle brows were right in front of her, but she didn't even dare to take a breath. Not counting the two times she was forced to have sex, this was the first time she had peace with a man.
Sleeping in the same bed quietly, even if she abandoned the feudal theory of men and women being intimate, such close proximity still made her embarrassed.
"Is it because you feel uncomfortable sleeping next to me, or..."
Pressing her fingers against her soft chin, she slightly raised her pale face. Yi Chenjing opened her eyes and stared at those clear eyes. The smile at the corner of her mouth was as warm as silk, and her hot lips touched the center of her dark eyebrows.
