Chapter Thirty-Eight: Showing the Traces of the Heart

Don't go...... All right? Chen Yicong said softly, "Be my queen." ”

The room fell silent for a moment.

Chen Yicong heard the sound of a pounding heartbeat in his chest—he still couldn't escape such a reaction.

Chen Yicong heard Bai Ling sigh softly, she lowered her eyes and looked at the half bowl of porridge in the bowl, and did not speak for a while.

Didn't speak, is it also an answer, Chen Yicong thought silently.

After a while, Chen Yicong broke the silence, "...... Maybe I'm too abrupt, I was thinking—"

"Thank you." Bai Ling said softly.

"What?"

"Thank you for the emperor's favor." The smile on Bai Ling's expression slowly receded, and her expression became serious, "But this position, I'm not suitable." ”

Chen Yicong really felt a throbbing pain somewhere in his heart.

He had thought of all of Bai Ling's reactions—but none of them had been so crisp and straightforward as they were now.

There is no shyness, no reserve, and no tricks that want to refuse and welcome, and want to cover up......

It seems to have come early in the morning.

He suddenly felt as if he had seen a misty mountain city from afar.

It was only at this moment that he finally mustered up the courage to rush into the center of the mist, and realized that this city was surrounded by iron walls, and the gates were firmly locked, and there was no intention of letting him in.

Chen Yicong only paused for a moment, then lowered his head and began to eat again.

"You've got a sweetheart." He asked faintly.

Bai Ling shook his head.

"Then why don't you say it's appropriate?" Chen Yicong said softly, "You don't like it here? Still is...... Or is there something I have done that I haven't done well enough. ”

"There's nothing the emperor can't do well, it's my own problem, I can't sit in such a high position." Bai Ling said softly.

"I'm too afraid of climbing high and falling heavy, being able to have such a small courtyard in this palace is already an additional reward from the emperor, and if I go further, it will deviate too far from the trajectory I expected......"

"Then let that position be vacant," Chen Yicong endured the anxiety in his heart, he looked at Bai Ling, "It doesn't matter if it's the queen or not!" You will always stay in this small courtyard, always do what you want, and I will not force you with any rules.

"I just want you to promise me to stay by my side forever, isn't that okay?"

Bai Ling's palms were dripping with sweat.

Looking at Chen Yicong's eyes, she felt a little bad again.

Is Chen Yicong going to force himself to give an answer tonight?

"Aren't I right here now?" Bai Ling blinked, "...... Why does the emperor think I'm leaving? ”

"Because—" Chen Yicong's voice stopped abruptly, his breathing became rapid, and his eyebrows were slightly twisted together in pain.

"Bai Ling, don't you understand?"

This kind of gain and loss, you have to ask for a promise.

This kind of forward-looking, humble and pious bitterness.

This torment......

"The emperor is in love."

Bai Ling looked away slightly, "For you, I have the friendship of old friends and the respect of my subordinates for the king, but I never thought that you would be my beloved. ”

"And who would be?" Chen Yicong's voice suddenly rose, "Bai Yi!?" ”

The chopsticks in Bai Ling's hand suddenly loosened, and she looked at the young emperor in front of her in amazement, her eyes full of surprise.

“…… Who? ”

Bai Ling thought he had misheard.

How could the emperor think of Bai Yi's head......

"You and Bai Yi are not biological brothers and sisters at all, are they!" Chen Yicong said sharply, "You have been getting along under the same roof all these years, facing each other day and night every day, and you have nothing to say!" If he doesn't marry, if you don't marry, what do you want to do!? ”

Bai Ling was speechless for a moment.

Could it be that Huang Gonggong also told Chen Yicong about her life experience before his death?

Why......?

For a while, Bai Ling didn't know how to refute Chen Yicong's words, she was just stunned.

"Do you want to say that you never knew?" Chen Yicong's laughter was slightly cold, "No one has ever told you that Bai Yi is not Bai Shijun's biological son, not your biological brother?" ”

This time, Bai Ling's eyes were really wide.

…… Bai Yi, it's not?

Bai Yi is not even either!?

She couldn't describe how she felt at the moment.

The father, who is always silent, has hidden many things from their brothers and sisters over the years......

Chen Yicong looked at Bai Ling's expression—she was completely caught in some kind of confusion.

It's not a reaction that can be feigned.

Chen Yicong suddenly understood, Bai Ling probably ...... I really don't know about it.

I see.

I see!

He gulped down the contents of his glass, then slammed it to the ground.

"Forget these words, it's all my drunken nonsense."

Chen Yicong suddenly pulled away, and at the moment when he crossed the threshold, he heard Bai Ling suddenly shout behind him.

“…… Emperor! ”

Chen Yicong half-turned his face, and he saw that Bai Ling also stood up a little awkwardly, with a plausible pleading and frightened look in his eyes.

He couldn't stand Bai Ling looking at him like this, and this kind of gaze scratched his whole heart at peace - if Bai Ling wanted it, he wanted to give his whole person away.

He was almost ready to ask.

What do you want?

Tell me, what do you really want?

I am the Son of Heaven, the Emperor, and the supreme place in this world.

Speak to me, I can give you anything!

Bai Ling's lips and teeth moved slightly, she looked at Chen Yicong, and many words flashed back in her mind - who revealed this news to you? Who hinted to you that I want to leave Beijing? What do you want to do next......

After a moment of silence, Bai Ling's mind went blank.

“…… I'm sorry. She whispered.

Chen Yicong laughed self-deprecatingly, he didn't leave a word, just strode away from here as he came.

After Chen Yicong left, Bai Ling almost immediately put on his coat and ran home.

The day has finally come.

Bai Ling thought about every word of Chen Yicong today, almost crushing every word and pausing to think.

Chen Yicong was indeed suspicious.

But his escape plan must not have really been exposed - if he really got the evidence that he was going to leave Beijing, then tonight, he must be imprisoned in the palace.

So everything is not yet to the point where there is no room for recovery.

What the emperor heard was most likely some catch-after words.

Is it Heng Yuan-kun?

It's possible!

It was precisely because Heng Yuanjun said such things behind his back that he was once again imprisoned by Chen Yicong in Qinyuan outside the palace.

Thinking about Chen Yicong's various abnormal behaviors in the past month, Bai Ling gritted his teeth in an instant-

The date has to be advanced, I'm afraid I can't wait for the twenty-third Chinese New Year's Eve!
