Time seemed to stand still, and the surroundings were so quiet that even the sound of heartbeat could be heard clearly, but fortunately, it could still be heard, otherwise Bai Qige would really wonder if his heart was still beating. [No pop-ups. 】

Isn't everything that happens in front of you still part of the dream, and when you open your eyes, it disappears? If it weren't for a dream, how could he have said such a thing, how could he ask her, "Would you like to be my wife?"

His hatred is so blazing and undisguised, his love is so crazy that it has never changed, even if Bai Qige had a glimmer of hope that he could forget Hongxuan, but he never thought that there would be such a day - it was rare for him not to hate her, and replacing Hongxuan as his wife was simply the most ridiculous dream in the world.

"Marriage for marriage, I am your wife, what else do you want to say." Skillfully changing the topic, Bai Qige quietly withdrew his palm, avoiding Yi Chenjing's question.

Yi Chenjing was naturally not satisfied with her ambiguous answer, her brows furrowed slightly, and her voice was low: "Don't you want to?" ”

"You said that this hosta is only worn by the princess Hongxuan, and it is not suitable for me to put it here." took off the hosta and handed it back to Yi Chenjing, Bai Qige lowered his eyes and face, and his expression did not change at all, "I am just a nominal princess, my status is low, and I have no talent and no appearance, he will have a suitable woman to help him as the queen when you ascend the throne, and I will be accompanied by the war court on the previous road, and on the road after that, find another beauty." ”

I expected her to be surprised, but I didn't expect her to refuse, Yi Chenjing didn't know how to react for a while, the hosta was half-raised, there was disbelief and incomprehension in her eyes, and it was more difficult to accept.

Bai Qige has liked to stick behind him since he was a child, he follows wherever he goes, and when he grows up, he knows that the person he loves deeply is Hongxuan and repeatedly confides in his true feelings and is even willing to be a concubine, but now for his imperial hegemony, she reins in the light and silently helps, and even her own flesh and blood are endured and given up for him, why is she unwilling to accept the title he gives?

Suddenly, he grabbed his slender wrist, and Yi Chenjing took a deep breath: "Because you hate me for breaking through the Zhao Kingdom and affecting the Bai family, or do you hate me for treating you like that before?" Give me a reason, I don't believe you will be willing to be a princess who is not worthy of the name for the rest of your life! ”

"It's really unwilling, it's been too long in my life, and I don't have that much patience. Yi Chenjing, I promised to help you sit on the throne, but I didn't say that I would be by your side after that, and the day you became emperor was the day I returned to Zhaoguo. Don't worry I'll regret it, I'm not that mean, so you don't need to do everything to keep me, and now I'm satisfied with this relationship. Bai Qige smiled indifferently, swallowing all the bitterness in her stomach, and refusing to let people find out at all.

She wanted to say yes as much as she could, but she didn't dare, Yi Chenxuan brought her too much blow, and she couldn't accept another false betrayal, especially Yi Chenjing, the first man she fell in love with in her previous life and this life. When mentioning the child, his reaction of choosing to immediately change the topic made Bai Qige fall into an ice cellar, and he didn't even care about losing his own flesh and blood, how could he care about her? It's nothing more than his dignity or ambition at work, he doesn't want to waste any useful chess pieces, he doesn't want to give up a good move to others, it's not about emotional love and hate at all, that's all.

knew that it was the end of being deceived, and it was better not to be greedy for the pleasure of that moment, and in the end it ended up bruised all over the body.

"Okay, I don't want to hear about it anymore, let's talk about something else." Stopping Yi Chenjing, who still wanted to defend himself, Bai Qige pretended to raise the letter in his hand easily, "What do I need to prepare?" ”

"I've prepared everything for you, so you have a good rest these two days. Oh yes, I have a big gift for you tomorrow, get to the study early, I'll wait for you. Yi Chenjing put away the hosta, and the heartfelt appearance of a moment ago dissipated without a trace, and the conversation between the two was as plain as before.

Bai Qige's refusal was so obvious, Yi Chenjing knew that there was no need to explain, feelings were not child's play, and he couldn't force it.

Of course, this is not to say that he has given up, just like he has loved Hongxuan for so many years, and his stubbornness beyond ordinary people does not allow him to let go when he says to let go. He understood very well, Bai Qige still didn't believe him, didn't believe that he was sincere and not out of order to use her, this was no one's fault, only to blame him for hurting her too deeply, and the bloody wounds on his body and heart have not healed to this day.

Let's go slowly, the road to the frontier is long and long, and the emperor's business is not a day's talk, what he has is time for Bai Qige to eliminate misunderstandings and remove defenses, and one day she will trust him as she did before and entrust him with the happiness of her life.

For Bai Qige, he is determined to win.

In the coldest corner of the Dust Xuan, outside the low firewood house where no one cleared the snow, the round hand as white as fine jade held the key, and with a click, the heavy lock was unlocked, and the heavy iron chain that tightly locked the firewood door fell to the ground.

"Rao'er, Rao'er?" Pushing open the door, Su Yan called eagerly, but the person who was called sat quietly behind the pile of firewood and grass, curled up like a cat, his eyes full of resentment.

For a whole month, she was imprisoned in a cold and dark firewood room for a whole month, no one came to see her, no one cared about her, only the old servant who delivered the food opened and closed the door once a day, leaving the cold scraps to keep her from starving. People change, especially after experiencing ups and downs, no matter how weak they are, they will become distorted and crazy.

"Rao'er, get up quickly, let's go out, it's so cold here, if you stay any longer, you will freeze to death." Su Yan's eyes were red, and she hugged her sister in distress, but she was ruthlessly pushed away.

"If I deserve to die, God would have let me die in this firewood room a long time ago, do I still need you to shush the cold and ask for warmth and sympathy?" Looking at her biological sister coldly, Su Rao stood up, and the shabby cotton wool draped on her back fell to the ground. An old quilt, a coarse meal, these are the things that accompany her every day, not the sister with the pear blossoms and rain in front of her. Still with a childish face showing a strange smile, Su Rao lowered her head, her dull dark eyes were motionless, gloomy and frightening: "Sister, it's been a month, have you ever come to see me?" Look at my nails, I scratch the wood every day, my nails are broken, the flesh is rotten, but I can't wait for you to save me. Sister, you are my sister! It's my only relative in the world! Why won't even you help me! ”

Su Yan was frightened by her sister's crazy appearance, and sat on the ground trembling, with sadness in her eyes: "It's not that my sister doesn't want to save you, it's really that the mistake you made is too serious, Your Highness only punished you for being imprisoned in the firewood room, and now you are allowed to stay alone and wait for us to come back, this is already a great forgiveness." Rao'er, don't be wrong anymore, even if I beg you, can't you? Finally, we have a home that can be fed and clothed, what more do you want? ”

Su Rao didn't answer, squatted beside Su Yan and sneered, her cold fingers stroked her plump shoulder, and gently touched the face that didn't look like herself, and her tone was gloomy: "Home? Whose home is that? Yours or mine? Sister, do you know, your biggest shortcoming is that you are too weak, you don't fight or grab everything, and you always look like a good person. We have been displaced with our mothers for so many years, and it is rare to meet a place that can take us in, do you want to watch the opportunity to enjoy wealth and prosperity from now on being taken away and trampled under the feet of others? You can bear it, I definitely won't! ”

"Qige has never fought with us for anything, sometimes in life there must be, and there is no time in life to force it. Rao'er, I know that you want to climb to the position of the princess, but have you ever thought that anyone can be the princess? Su Yan, who knew her biological sister deeply, understood what Su Rao meant, her expression was mixed with a little sadness, and she held the cold palm on the side of her face tightly, and her voice trembled, "Love or not, no one can force it, Qige was bullied when she first came, but she still got the heart of His Royal Highness, and no one can tell what she is feeling, why do you bother to fight for that false name?" A place to live, a day of peace and joy, and then obsessed with a hopeless goal, you will be ruined, Rao'er......"

"Alright, don't tell me those big things. I only know that Bai Qige is also a flesh and blood person, and she is nothing more than me. With her, Your Highness will not look at you and me half-eyed; Without her, sooner or later, Concubine Jing will choose one of us to be the princess. Sister, you have protected me since I was a child, and now it is my turn to give you glory and wealth. ”

The almost distorted smile could not reassure Su Yan at all, and the panic in his heart grew bigger and deeper.

"Rao'er, what do you want to do? Listen to my sister's advice, don't hurt Qige anymore, okay?! ”

"No, good!" Gritting her teeth, Su Rao shook off Su Yan who rushed over, her vicious eyes shining in the dark firewood room, "Listen, with her without me, with me without her, are you helping an outsider or do you want me to be my sister?!" You can help her, it's okay, but I'm telling you, Bai Qige won't live long. Sister, didn't you notice anything unusual? On such a cold day, I am still alive with such a humble meal. To tell you the truth, if there is a noble person secretly helping me, Bai Qige, I will definitely die! ”

Cang's wild laughter was almost hysterical, Su Yan timidly looked at Su Rao, who was smiling and bending over, laughing out of tears, and always felt that the person in front of him was not the sister who had been dependent on each other for half her life at all. Her beloved sister wouldn't be so ugly and crazy, who was so blinded by jealousy and led astray step by step?

I didn't have time to think too much, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in the back of my head, and the sky in my vision turned dark and dark, and before I fell to the ground softly, Su Yan heard a man's unfamiliar voice, and then became unconscious.

"You——! Don't touch my sister! The laughter stopped abruptly, Su Rao changed into a frightened expression and stared at the door, although her knees trembled with fear, she still screamed desperately and dragged the fainted Su Yan to her side and hugged her tightly.

"Take care of your mouth, and let me find out that you said something you shouldn't have said, and the end will be the same as those two palace maids who were killed by the rod." The blue eyes were emotionless, and the delicate face was numb and indifferent, Su Jinyan rubbed her wrists, and she didn't bother to look at Su Rao, "The emperor has issued a secret order to allow Bai Qige to go out with the army, once she makes military achievements by Yi Chenjing's side, you sisters will never have a bright future." ”

Her heart was instantly grabbed by coldness, Su Rao swallowed her saliva, and her tone tried her best to remain calm: "What should I do?" ”

"You don't need to do anything, just pass the word from it." Su Jinyan took out a letter and threw it on the ground, "Before going out on the expedition, take this letter to find Vice General Qi Taoqi, and after that, if you have any reply, you must send it to me in time - as long as you are honest and obedient, I guarantee that when Yi Chenjing comes back, it will only be Bai Qige's bones." ”
