"Are you feeling better?"

In the most remote Huixi residence in the dust Xuan, Bai Qige held tea in one hand and carefully tucked the corners of the quilt with the other, and the half-lying woman on the bed had a bloodless face, and she was nervous and vigilant like a frightened bird.

Jin Zhaoyi's Emperor Yao may not be able to pass over at any time, and he can't let Concubine Jing and the others know before the matter is understood, so Bai Qige had no choice but to quietly take Mrs. Qi back to her own room. Mrs. Qi has been in a trance, and when she heard Yu Che mention that she wanted to ask the imperial doctor to take a look, she would try her best to resist, and in desperation, Bai Qige had no choice but to let Yu Che wash her body with a basin of water, and Mrs. Qi settled down a little.

"The children are four months old, and if there is any problem, it is easy to have an accident if you don't ask the doctor to take a look."

Mrs. Qi did not accept the euphemistic persuasion, and pulled Bai Qige tightly with her cold palm, and the bones under the delicate skin were blue and white.

"Ask the princess to be good, don't tell others that I'm here, I'm willing to do any rough work like laundry, cooking, cleaning, as long as you don't drive me away......"

"Even if I don't say it, Su Jinyan will guess, how can I protect you when the fifth prince comes to ask for someone?" Although he couldn't bear it, Bai Qige still told the truth, "How long can you hide?" It's better for you to make things clear, and maybe you can discuss and come up with a solution. Mrs. Qi quarreled with the fifth prince? ”

Hearing Bai Qige's blunt refusal, Mrs. Qi's eyes dimmed, her hand was weakly released, and the smile on her face was so bitter that it was almost desperate: "It's too late to hide, how dare I quarrel with His Highness?" ”

It seems that Mrs. Qi is very afraid of Yi Chenxuan, Bai Qige doesn't understand, Yi Chenxuan is gentle and elegant, how could she scare the only concubine to such a point? Not to mention Mrs. Qi's conduct, even for the sake of the flesh and blood in the abdomen, she won't be rough with her, right?

"If my sister can trust me, I will tell you about it, it's useless to hide like this, and the fifth prince will definitely come to take you back to the palace in a few days."

seemed to be deeply stimulated by the three words of the remote hall, and after a burst of irrepressible trembling, the beautiful Mrs. Qi couldn't cry, and Bai Qige coaxed and persuaded her for a long time before she calmed down again. Stroking the slightly bulging lower abdomen, the feelings that only the mother could understand finally prevailed, and after a moment of hesitation, Mrs. Qi wiped away her tears and told everything.

"The princess doesn't know, it's been four years since I promised it to His Royal Highness, and I have been pregnant three times in four years, but ...... But in the end, it all ended in miscarriage. As she spoke, Mrs. Qi sobbed a few times, "I want to give birth to this child, even if His Highness doesn't hurt him, it doesn't matter, I just want to protect my child!" ”

Mrs. Qi's continuous miscarriage Bai Qige had heard about it, and the result of the doctor's diagnosis was that the qi and blood were weak and the fetus was lost. Jun's grace is like flowing water, and the three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem often change the pillow people, and the princes are not? No matter how beautiful the face is, there will always be a day when they will grow old, and the smart palace concubines all understand that only by leaving a son and a half daughter can the mother be valuable with the son, even if she loses the favor of her husband, at least she will not fall into the cold palace, and it is natural for Mrs. Qi to want to have a child.

Although the helpless body is weak and causes a miscarriage, this kind of thing is sympathetic but unchangeable, Bai Qige can't figure it out, what is the use of Mrs. Qi escaping to her? What does it mean to want to protect her children? Who wants to harm her?

"What does the princess think of His Royal Highness's treatment of me?" Seeing that Bai Qige was puzzled, Mrs. Qi smiled sadly.

"I always saw that the five princes took Mrs. Qi with them, and their words and deeds respected each other like guests, so I thought that I would pity and pamper them endlessly."

Sighing softly and trembling, Mrs. Qi's eyes were almost mournful: "You are wrong, Your Highness has never cared about me, and taking me with you is just to cover people's eyes and ears, so as to cut off the emperor's intention to find another concubine for him." Everyone in this palace said that I was the only one to be favored, and I charmed Your Highness, who saw my body and couldn't help myself? The doctor said that if this child dies in the womb again, I may never have another child in the future. ”

With Yi Chenxuan's confession first, how could Bai Qige not know that he was not sincere to Mrs. Qi? It's just that Mrs. Qi's words are really strange, why is the good and decent Yi Chenxuan unwilling to set up a concubine? If he has no intention of treating Mrs. Qi, he always behaves extremely gentle and considerate to him on weekdays, which has made many concubines envious; If she is as he said, she is even more ridiculous about herself, how long has she been in the palace of Yaoguo, and it will not affect Mrs. Qi, who has been a concubine for four years. Besides, these have nothing to do with whether or not they can keep the child-

Eyes touched the abdomen that was not obvious under the gorgeous skirt, and a terrible guess swirled in Bai Qige's mind, so terrible that it made her feel cold in an instant.

"Kid...... Did the five princes force you to defeat it? ”

Mrs. Qi was shocked, and nodded with grief.

Bai Qige seemed to have forgotten how to breathe, and her chest ached. Yi Chenxuan she knew shouldn't be such a vicious person, his own flesh and blood, mother and son, how could he bear to force a woman to kill his unborn child!

That child is imprisoned in the deep palace for half a lifetime, and Mrs. Qi's life is the last sustenance of her feelings.

"Every time I get pregnant, His Royal Highness will send Su Jinyan to send medicine over, and the medicine will cause a miscarriage in the second half of the month, and the situation is very similar to that of a weak and slippery fetus, and my children are like this, and they don't have time to look at the world...... I don't want to compete for favor, let alone want His Highness to treat me wholeheartedly, I just want to give birth to a son and a half daughter for His Highness to prove that I am his person......" Her pale face was streaked with tears, and Mrs. Qi grabbed the corner, as if someone had taken half of her life.

What it's like to lose a child, Bai Qige doesn't know, but she knows better than anyone what it's like to be abandoned by her parents.

Lonely, scared, always feeling that the whole world had abandoned her—her childhood was all filled and blackened by this feeling of helplessness.

"What's wrong with the child? Since the creation of a life is responsible, no matter how small it is, it is also a life! Uncontrollable anger erupted, even though she knew that it was not Mrs. Qi's fault, Bai Qige couldn't help but shout angrily.

Mrs. Qi, who was frightened, flinched more and more, her body trembled more and more, and her tense nerves couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed in an instant.

"It's not me! Not me! I'm not going to kill my children, I'm not going to! It's all Su Jinyan...... Without Su Jinyan, my child would not have died, and His Highness would not hate me! ”

Su Jinyan, it's him again.

Walking to the window and pushing the window open suddenly, Bai Qige stood in the cold wind pouring in for a long time, and it took a long time to calm down. Now is not the time to be emotional, Su Jinyan has a close relationship with Yi Chenxuan, and it will be of great benefit to help Yi Chenjing to learn more about him, but now she must give priority to preserving the Bai family, and other feelings have to be left behind.

Calming down and returning to the bedside, Bai Qige took the hysterical Mrs. Qi in her arms and softly comforted her, and only after Mrs. Qi also calmed down did she continue to ask: "Su Jinyan is just a doorman, why does his existence affect you and the child in the womb?" ”

"Is it so simple as a guest, Su Jinyan's status in the Yao Closed Hall is second only to His Royal Highness, I am just a lowly slave in front of him, no matter how much I kneel and beg him, he will not look at me more." Mrs. Qi cried and lost her strength, leaning softly on Bai Qige, her eyes glazed over, "If His Royal Highness's affection for me is one-ten-thousandth of Su Jinyan's, then I don't have to watch my own flesh and blood being killed......"

"What do you mean?" Suddenly lowering her voice, Bai Qige pinched Mrs. Qi's shoulders in disbelief.

A few days ago, Yu Che inadvertently said something that sounded in her head again, at that time she also said that Yu Che listened to gossip indiscriminately, but now......

No, it won't, those are rumors, they can't be true!

Staring at the pair of dull eyes, Bai Qige looked impatient: "Tell me, what is the relationship between Yi Chenxuan and Su Jinyan!" ”

A dumb smile stained with a few wisps of sadness, Mrs. Qi looked back, looked at a hideous scar, and looked at a pair of eyes that seemed to be full of disappointment after being severely injured.

"There will never be a princess in the palace, because His Royal Highness will not be tempted by any woman, he is not normal, what he likes is a man, it is Su Jinyan!"

All his strength seemed to be drained in an instant, he staggered backwards and knocked over the round stool, and the teapot on the table was also scraped and shattered by the sleeves of his coat, but the loud sound was inaudible, Bai Qige only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and everything around him lost its color and became distorted and blurred.

The conspiracy is real, the meekness is fake.

The tracking is real, the protection is fake.

The rumors are true, and the confessions are false.

The things she feared and the things she didn't want to see became a reality, and the things she tried so hard to convince herself to believe were all fake.

He has no feelings for women, how can he fall in love at first sight, and how can he remain unswerving until death?

The sky fell, the ground sank, and the only person she wanted to trust and rely on in the cold and ruthless Yaoguo Palace was finally gone.

The sound of the table and chairs toppling over alarmed Yu Che, who was guarding outside, and hurriedly pushed the door in, only to see Bai Qige leaning against the door in despair, and Mrs. Qi crying and laughing, like a madman.

"Get out, I have something to ask." Bai Qige's voice was so low that she could barely hear clearly, her tone was as cold as ice, Yu Che had never seen her like this, she was anxious and worried, but she could only withdraw from the room.

Unable to hear anything through the empty front hall, thinking of Bai Qige's pale face and chaotic aura, Yu Che felt extremely sad in his heart, and sat alone on the cold stone steps in front of the door and bowed his head and wept. Bai Qige worked hard for the Bai family, endured humiliation and burdens, but never said these hardships and hardships in the letter sent back to Zhaoguo, only the personal maid who was protected by her side as a sister knew how much pressure and fatigue she slept with every night.

"What are you crying about here?"

The sudden questioning made Yu Che panic, and when he raised his head, Yi Chenjing frowned slightly, casting a faint shadow with his back to the sun.

Bai Qige didn't say whether to tell Yi Chenjing about Mrs. Qi here, Yu Che couldn't make up his mind, and he couldn't deal with it for a while, so he hurriedly blocked the door. Yi Chenjing originally thought that Bai Qige was resting inside, but seeing Yu Che like this, Zhang Huang guessed that Bai Qige was not the only one inside, and this person should not appear in the dust Xuan.

"Get out of the way." Pushing away the petite maid, Yi Chenjing sank his face and opened the door suddenly.
