Chapter 015: Turning over is the main thing
After that rain, Yi Chenjing didn't appear again for a long time - it was about to be a hot day in August, Concubine Jing, who was not in good health, couldn't stand the scorching heat and needed to go to the small building halfway up the mountain outside the palace to recuperate.
Su Yan Surao is a concubine but is deeply favored by Concubine Jing, although Su Yan is worried that Bai Qige will be inconvenient in the palace alone, but she can't ignore Concubine Jing, so she has no choice but to ask Jin Zhaoyi, who has a better relationship on weekdays, to take care of her more; Su Rao has always been shrewd and intelligent, and she gave her sister an idea in private, and secretly sent a letter to Zhaoguo behind Yi Chenjing's back to ask the Bai family to send Bai Qige's personal maid Yuche over, and only left with confidence when everything was in order.
In fact, for Bai Qige, she doesn't need anyone to take care of her, whether it is Jin Zhaoyi or Yu Che, these people can't give her what she wants, and now her situation is extremely disadvantaged, and she has reached the point where no one dares to trust her.
Who can you trust? Even her fiancΓ© is a hypocrite, I really don't know how Bai Qige himself behaved, and he failed to such a point.
People say that only with a similar temperament can they become close friends, Jin Zhaoyi's temperament is not far from Su Yan, the same kind and gentle, seeing that Bai Qige has a lot of bruises and scars on his body and is infected with wind and cold due to excessive weakness, he did not hesitate to bring a lot of precious medicinal materials given by Emperor Yao to nourish and tonify him, and the intimate care is more attentive than Yuche who is a maid.
"Both inside and outside the palace are extremely powerful, I see that Yuche's girl doesn't look at you all day long, so I have to pay more attention to myself, and if there is anything, I will ask someone to go to Huai Nuanzhai to find me." Bai Qige was cold for a few days, Jin Zhaoyi was busy taking care of her personally, and when there were no outsiders, she would say some heart-wrenching words to her, as if the unfavored marriage princess in front of her was quite close sisters.
At first, Bai Qige was suspicious, and she always said that one point was hidden in her words, but it was not until Jin Zhaoyi noticed her caution and explained the reason that it was resolved.
The reason why he cares so much about Bai Qige, who is disgusted by the Seventh Prince, is not just because of Su Yan's trust, although the relationship between them is far away, it is not complicated, and the source is Bai Haoyuan, the youngest son of the Bai family. Bai Haoyuan and Chang Siyi, the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Zhongzhou, were married, and Chang Siyi was a close friend of Jin Zhaoyi before entering the palace.
It's just a marriage for a substitute, and I can't imagine that the interpersonal relationships are tortuous and complicated. There was no one else in the room before going to bed, Bai Qige couldn't help but sigh when he thought about those who didn't, being in the house of a rich and noble eunuch had half of the pros and cons, so it could be said that he was a big benefit now.
"The medicine is decocted, pour it yourself when you drink it." Putting the medicine pot and porcelain bowl on the table, Yu Che said impatiently.
Yu Che, who is in the age of two eight years, is good-looking, and the two round dimples are beautiful and lovely, but his attitude towards Bai Qige is always cold and very distant, and he doesn't even have the least respect, let alone fear or respect. This was the case in the White Mansion of Zhaoguo at the beginning, but I didn't expect that the Yaoguo Palace was still like this, and after enduring it for a few days, Bai Qige finally decided to take care of this personal maid who never put her in her eyes.
There was a crisp crack, and the porcelain bowl and medicine pot were swept to the ground by the long sleeves at the same time, and fragments and medicinal residues and medicinal juices were splashed all over the ground, and even Yuche's shoes were stained with a large stain.
"Y-what kind of temper are you? Do you still think that this is the White Mansion, and everyone has to offer you as an ancestor? If you don't fight for it, let the people of the whole Zhaoguo scold it, and finally have a little use, and you still have to die if you marry to the distant country. If you have the ability to go to those who bullied you to settle accounts, what are you angry with me with cold eyebrows? Nor do I look in the mirror to see what virtue I have now! β
Viciously kicked away the broken medicine pot, Yu Che's chest rose and fell violently in anger, and he looked at Bai Qige with undisguised disdain.
"That's what you're talking about?" Bai Qige was not annoyed or angry, so she sat down at the table for a long time, "I don't care what happened before, now that you are my maid, you have to look like a maid, how others scold me and look down on me is their business, what does it have to do with you?" Yu Che, use your head to keep in mind that I, Bai Qige, am your master, what does it mean to be 'one glory and one loss', do you understand? If I am bullied, do you think you can be left alone and not implicated? β
Seeing that Yu Che's expression turned suspicious, Bai Qige smiled faintly, and the hideous scars could not hide his noble arrogance: "No matter how bad it is, I am also the third lady of the Bai family, and I came to the dust Xuan as a princess by marriage, and it is easy to deal with a subordinate." The reason why I endured you in all my patience before was not because I was weak and deceitful, but because I didn't want to tear my face and fall out with the only person in the same situation, but you didn't repent, and I repeatedly challenged my patience, and I couldn't let you go on any longer. From today on, you have only two choices, one is to do your duty and follow me, and the other is to continue to fight with me and see who can have the last laugh. β
Yu Che, who was still arrogant and domineering just now, was silent at the moment, and secretly looked at the woman sitting with suspicious eyes, clasped his arms and unconsciously hung down in front of his lower abdomen, and finally had the appearance of a subordinate.
Since the age of eleven, Yu Che has been serving Bai Qige closely, in addition to the Bai family, it can be said that she is the most familiar with the third lady of the Bai family, Bai Qige, who used to be timid no matter what she does, and who is only willing to do anything before and after, has been cowardly and timid, but hides countless images of scheming in Yu Che's heart.
I don't know what happened, since Bai Qige was attacked and drowned and was sent back to Baifu, it was like a different person, at first he was silent and slow to respond to anything, and then he talked a lot unusually, and he was also much closer to the old lady and the two young masters, and this time it was even more unexpected, and he actually put on the master's posture to reprimand her.
Is this still the third lady of the Bai family, the person she has taken care of for five years?
Although he was not convinced, the compelling momentum exuded by Bai Qige's body made Yu Che lose the courage to resist inexplicably, and he stood speechless for a while and didn't know what to react, so he had to squat down and clean up the mess on the ground to hide his embarrassment and fear.
"Don't clean up yet, stand up, I have something to ask you." Bai Qige softened his tone, poured a cup of tea and put it on the table, "You have followed me for so many years, you should know the past very well, let me ask you, how much do you know about me, Princess Hongxuan and Yi Chenjing?" β
"Those are all young lady's affairs, how can Yu Che, a humble person, know."
said that he didn't know, but his face was clearly angry.
Bai Qige smiled and pushed the teacup down Yu Che's hand: "You don't have to be dissatisfied because of what I just said, compare your heart to your heart, whoever treats me well will naturally not treat him badly, and you will do the same." I don't remember a lot of things clearly because of the attack before, so I just want to see if I can think of some of them, and nothing else. β
"I really don't know, Miss, you used to keep everything in your heart, even if you were wronged and bullied, you wouldn't say it, if it was like this......" Yu Che raised his eyelids and glanced at Bai Qige, and lowered his voice by half a minute, "If you dare to think and say like this, you won't be disliked by the surname Yi." β
Surname Yi? Abandon?
This time it was Bai Qige's turn to be stunned, it seemed that Yu Che was too careful to say more, even if she didn't know all the grievances and grievances between Yi Chenjing and Hongxuan, at least more than herself, if Yu Che could tell the things she knew, then many mysteries could be solved.
If you want to be trusted, you must first deliver trust, Bai Qige is not a daughter who lives in the boudoir and does not go out of the door, not to mention the skills and know-how of interacting with people, she can be regarded as familiar, these truths are still understood, and she took Yuche's hand without caring about the difference between master and servant, and shook it tightly.
"Yu Che, there are many things that can't be explained for a while, but I want you to understand one thing, I am no longer Bai Qige who was at the mercy of my predecessors, and you don't have to guard against me. Now we are grasshoppers on a leash, and if I am bullied without power or power, you will also be discriminated against and despised, so I need your help, not only for me, but also for your own good. β
Yu Che was skeptical, didn't dare to withdraw his hand and felt embarrassed and awkward: "If there is anything I order, you are the master and I am the slave, and there is nothing to help - as long as you don't hurt others and yourself like before, even our group of subordinates will be looked down upon." β
"I swear, I won't let you down." A touch of tenacity flashed in his eyes, Bai Qige was unusually calm, and every word was sonorous and powerful, "No longer let others be bullied, no longer let the Bai family suffer, and those who have hurt me, none of them can escape, sooner or later they will have to accept retribution for the wrongs they have done, and pay for their blood debts!" β
Perhaps it was the undoubted brilliance in her eyes that affected Yu Che, and the young maid who was secretly complaining a moment ago suddenly saw a glimmer of light, a light from Bai Qige's body, which made people can't help but want to believe it.
Picking up the teacup and drinking it all, Yu Che let out a long breath, and when he looked at Bai Qige, he was no longer bored: "Most of what I know comes from private rumors among subordinates, and occasionally some of them are inadvertently revealed by Miss when you are dreaming, and I don't know if it is useful or not." Anyway, I have already left the Bai family and left Zhaoguo, Yu Che doesn't ask for anything else, just ask for Miss to protect the people around her and not let outsiders bully, this is a bet I have made all my life, I hope there will be no regrets one day. β
"It's a deal." Bai Qige stretched out his palm, smiling lightly and calmly.
"Hmm." Nodding heavily, Yu Che also stretched out his hand and lightly struck on Bai Qige's palm, "Before I came, I heard from the palace maid who was close to me that the surname Yi had gone to find a servant, so I guessed that the person surnamed Yi might already know where Princess Hongxuan's drowning was concealed." Although it's been almost three years since that incident, it's not difficult to find out about Miss here, I'm afraid that the person surnamed Yi treats Miss like this now because he knows the truthββ"
Before he finished speaking, Bai Qige suddenly raised his finger and interrupted Yu Che's statement: "Yu Che, clean up these first, and then talk about it when you have a chance." β
Without explaining anything to the confused Yu Che, Bai Qige sat quietly in front of the dresser, glancing out of the corner of his eyes to the window, and a few leaves in the empty courtyard were lying quietly on the ground.
Just now, someone was hiding outside.
