After sending Concubine Jing and Su Yan away, Yi Chenjing took Bai Qige to Huixi Residence, and Bai Haocheng mentioned that someone secretly monitored and fought briefly last night, which made Bai Qige worried.

"What Yi Chenxuan is most afraid of is that the second brother is under your command, and so many previous conspiracies and tricks originated here. Su Jinyan can come for the first time, and he can come for the second and third times, the second brother is too dangerous in the palace, it is better to return to Zhaoguo earlier. ”

Yi Chenjing did not object to letting Bai Haocheng leave early, but Bai Haocheng refused, saying that he would not leave until he saw Bai Qige set out safely, Bai Qige knew that the second brother was too worried about himself, and he was reluctant to see the two sides in a hurry and be so separated, so he had to hand over the safety of Huixi Ju to the war court, anyway, she didn't need protection, and there were very few people who could hurt her by Yi Chenjing's side.

In this way, the day of spending two more days in a state of peace and worry mixed with the army and heading north to conquer the Khoro Khanate finally arrived.

The Holo River Khanate occupies the northern important place, which is the only way to connect Zhongzhou and the northern Xinjiang, and if you want to break the shackles of Zhongzhou's territorial boundaries and expand your power to foreign lands, you must first conquer the Horo River barbarians, yes, and the Yao Emperor attaches great importance to this expedition, not only sending four veterans who have experienced a hundred battles to be Yi Chenjing's deputy general, but also specially setting the time of the expedition at noon, the purpose is to complete the ritual of sacrificing to the sky within a few hours before the expedition.

Before dawn in the morning, Yi Chenjing freshened up and bathed, put on a purple and gold crown dress, and his handsome face was matched with luxurious clothes, which looked inviolable at a glance, not inferior to those other princes who were born with a charming and delicate face; Bai Qige was also carefully makeup, and he wanted to wait for the queen to set off directly with the army, but who knew that Emperor Yao had to ask the two of them to go to the palace before the morning before the sacrifice, which was a rare scene.

The beautiful scenery of Bai Qige's makeup.

"I haven't seen enough of it all the way." Before entering the Yao Emperor's bedroom, Bai Qige finally couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"In the end, it is Yuche's skill, and the rouge water and rice have such an amazing feeling as soon as they are smeared." Yi Chenjing sighed, "It's no wonder that ordinary women like to apply grease and rice, no matter how ugly they are, after the makeup, they can be regarded as sinking fish and geese, and closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, which is simply a miracle." ”

"This ugly face really can't stand you, His Royal Highness the Prince who hates ugliness and loves beauty."

Bai Qige was so angry that his teeth itched, if it weren't for Emperor Yao, it would be inconvenient to quarrel inside, and a verbal battle with Yi Chenjing would be indispensable.

Stepping into the dormitory behind Gonggong Tao, a rapid cough came, violent and exerting. Bai Qige frowned, she always felt that this cough was not a good omen, it was heartbreaking, it should clearly belong to a dying person, how could it be from the Yao Huang who was in the age of the sixtieth birthday but the pride was undiminished. Rong Ma has been killed for half a lifetime, and no matter how majestic and heroic he is, he will eventually grow old one day, and I have to say that Emperor Dayao, who is now powerless, is sad and lamentable.

Finally waited for the cough to stop, Gonggong Tao waved his hand silently, the two nodded and walked to the inner room, and the dim face of Emperor Yao barely squeezed out a smile: "Dressed like this, from a distance, Jing'er is a little similar to me back then." ”

"My father fought the world, fixed the country, his achievements shimmered, ancient and modern, how can his sons compare with a cent." Yi Chenjing responded lightly, with no expression on his face.

"How can't it be compared. You are brave and good at fighting, and no one among the princes can match, Yun'er often says, seeing you is like seeing me when I was young. I don't know if I didn't pay attention or deliberately ignored it, Emperor Yao was not dissatisfied with Yi Chenjing's numb look, and still smiled like a father, "When you return victoriously, I will crown you the King of Beijing." You are a smart child, you know how to forbear, and naturally you know how to be proportionate, Yun'er has suffered for so many years, I will never treat you badly again. ”

The seemingly unintentional and ordinary words made Bai Qige's heart sink, and some of her previous good feelings for Emperor Yao disappeared, and the image of a loving father collapsed in an instant, and only the king of a country with a deep and scheming city was left in front of her.

Proportionality, Emperor Yao let Yi Chenjing know how to be proportionate, which is to suggest that he should not have extravagant hopes that should not exist.

said that he would not let Yi Chenjing suffer badly, but in fact, he used the title of king to block his opportunity to continue to fight for power, which is what kind of favoritism. From beginning to end, he was warning him not to think too much about the throne. Bai Xiu's palm was shrunk in his sleeve and his fist was quietly clenched, Bai Qige finally understood why Yi Chenjing never accepted Emperor Yao's almost flattering beauty, he knew very well what kind of thoughts his father held as the emperor, so he had already died of his heart, and he would no longer believe in the "deep father-son love" that was the envy of outsiders.

"Your Highness is still young and has no heirs, so why rush to become a king. Concubine Jing and the emperor are both in the palace, the wealth and power are just a passing cloud, His Royal Highness is filial piety, and he would rather serve in the palace. ”

The voice fell to the ground in exchange for silence, Bai Qige himself didn't expect to say such a thing, but the words he said were like water, and he could only keep his head down and wait for someone to say something to break the deadlock. The palms of his hands quickly poured out damp sweat stains, and when he was regretting his recklessness, a touch of warmth was put on the back of his hand.

"Qi Ge doesn't know the general body, his heart is straightforward, and his speech is inappropriate, so I ask my father to forgive me." Yi Chenjing bowed slightly, leaned next to Bai Qige, quietly held the cold palm, and pinched it gently.

Emperor Yao's face was not very natural, and he stared at Bai Qige for a moment, and then suddenly changed his expression, and said loudly with a smile: "That's it, she is also good for you." Jing'er, it's your blessing to be able to get a virtuous concubine like this, don't treat it badly. After pondering for a while, Emperor Yao beckoned Bai Qige to come closer, and his tone was inquiring: "Zhaoguo is the hometown of Shuize, there are more beauties in the country, as a princess, you should be cared for in Zhaoguo, why is there such a scar." ”

It's not a princess but a sinner, and it's not a care but a tribulation, what is a scar on his face, if he tells all the twists and turns, will Emperor Yao be surprised.

Bai Qige was thinking about how to answer, but Yi Chenjing had already stepped forward one step ahead of her, and her tone was calm: "Father doesn't know, this scar was an unintentional mistake of the son, and it was also to make up for this mistake that the son-in-law chose to marry." It's just that she has been living in the folk since she was a child, and few people know the identity of the princess, so there are a lot of rumors about substitute marriage, of course, those are all jealous words of people with ulterior motives, and the father is wise, and he will not be misled by it. ”

Bai Qige secretly took a cool breath.

Don't...... Haruka is doubting her identity.

No, the point is, why did Yi Chenjing hide the facts. Although the common people's substitution marriage is not very good, after all, she still has the name of Princess Qi'an sealed by King Zhao, and it is okay to hide it from the people of the world, and it is not necessary to hide it even from Emperor Yao, what is the secret in this.

Just untied the knot and came to doubt, Bai Qige was really a little confused, it seems that whether it is the previous dynasty or the harem, she can't figure out the bad things in the emperor's family for the rest of her life, and she can't break it.

Seeing that the time to worship the sky was approaching, Emperor Yao didn't have time to ask more nonsense, and asked Yi Chenjing to be more careful, and when the two left, they intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that they would crown him as the king of Beijing after returning, Yi Chenjing pretended not to hear, and left quickly in silence.

The sky was just a little brighter, and the spring was cold, Yi Chenjing walked in a hurry with a calm face, which was even colder.

"You really accept the title of king." Bai Qige walked a few steps quickly and stopped in front of him, his tone was a little impatient, "Yi Chenxuan is still in the palace, and it is very likely that Prime Minister Zuo's faction will start to pay attention to you, if you accept the title of king and leave the imperial capital, how will Concubine Jing deal with those people who are watching in the dark." ”

"If I don't accept it, wait for my father to punish me with death on the grounds of disobedience."

"After the Northern Expedition, you are the greatest hero of the distant country, and it is not too much to make an insignificant request. Patience is too much, don't you understand? ”

"Qige, no matter how smart you are, you can't understand how dark people's hearts will be when it comes to the throne." Yi Chenjing was forced to stop, took Bai Qige's hand and sighed lowly, "Don't say some angry words, you know very well, aren't you, it doesn't matter if you become a king." My father promised me a chance to ask for a reward two days ago, but I had already used this opportunity, and I didn't expect that my father would come to such a hand when I was about to go on an expedition, which really made me powerless. ”

The cherished opportunity that he had to fight for on the battlefield with his life, he used it quietly in other places. Bai Qige shook his head slowly, his eyes full of disbelief.

Yi Chenjing pulled out a helpless but not regretful wry smile, raised his hand and pointed to the outside of the glazed wall, and said in a gentle voice: "Father has promised to release Li'er after I return from the northern expedition." ”

The innocent and pale cheeks flashed in his mind, and his ears seemed to think of the crisp and clean tactful singing, the cold and gloomy wind-leaky cabin, the slender legs that were almost deformed, and the eyes that could not see the future but were still clear, Bai Qige could no longer make any refutation.

Li'er, an existence as pure as the war court that can't bear to be polluted, that child should also get a glimmer of light.

Wen Wen's forehead was suddenly pasted, Bai Qige was stunned for a moment, carefully looked around and no one paid attention before he relaxed, stretched out his hand to tidy up Yi Chenjing's already smooth clothes, and his eyes were still full of melancholy: "I don't think Yi Chenxuan will honestly wait for you to come back after making war achievements, I hope that the Zhan Ting and Jin Zhaoyi can take care of Concubine Jing and her mother." ”

"It doesn't matter." Yi Chenjing hooked the corners of his mouth, and he didn't seem to be worried about Concubine Jing's safety, "Zhanting may be a little difficult alone, but if you have a helper, you won't be able to." Besides, the Five Emperor Brothers also understand who is more threatening to him, and if he wants to attack secretly, the target is most likely to be you. ”

Putting aside the matter of sealing the king for the time being, Bai Qige also wanted to ask him why he wanted to hide her true identity from Emperor Yao, but before she could speak, Yi Chenjing suddenly pulled her behind her, and her peaceful breath was cold for a moment.

"The fifth emperor brother assists in internal affairs, and the matter of going on the expedition should have nothing to do with you, did you come to my father's palace so early to ask for peace."

Looking over Yi Chenjing's shoulder, it turned out to be the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan walking towards him.

When he first came to the Yaoguo Palace, it was Yi Chenxuan who gave Bai Qige the strength to hold on, sighing and smiling, and his demeanor is still fresh in his memory, but his face is still the same, things are not people, and now there is only hostility when they meet again...... and hatred.

Yi Chenxuan didn't answer the question, since he had torn his face, what was the need for meaningless conversations. The smile on his lips was cold, and he didn't squint and passed by his own brothers who were vying for the throne, and only after walking a few steps away, there was a ruthless whisper behind him.

"I'll ruin everything for you with my own hands, so wait and see, Brother Five."
