"What do you know?" Bai Qige gasped and frowned in a hurry, "Yu Che, tell me everything you know, don't hide it at all!" ”

I had never seen Bai Qige look so anxious, and Yu Che also understood that the matter was very important, and after nodding heavily, he returned to the side of the bed and clasped Bai Qige's cold palm: "I was not present when Princess Hongxuan had an accident, Miss was sent back by Vice General Yun that day, Miss looked nervous and panicked at that time, Vice General Yun kept telling you that it was okay but didn't say what happened." I was curious and quietly hid out the window and eavesdropped, not wanting to accidentally know what had happened that day. ”

Yu Che's voice trembled a little, his originally ruddy face gradually turned pale, and the palms holding Bai Qige's hands also lost their temperature with trembling, which was not much better than Bai Qige.

The memory of that day, trying desperately to hide and always hope that the truth that he had never heard, little by little, bit by bit, was evoked in Yuche's mind.

It was obviously a very ordinary day, and the third miss of the Bai family, who said that she would be a classmate of Princess Hongxuan, suddenly returned to Baifu, followed by Yun Zhongjin, who was the commander of the small capital at the time. Yu Che saw that the two of them were talking in a panic, and couldn't help but hide outside the room with more suspicions, eavesdropping, and the conversation inside the room was all in her ears.

"Keep your mouth shut, you and I will die if we talk about today's events, understand?! Wait a minute, I'll go to someone to help, and after everything is done, you can go to the palace and follow what I taught you, there must be no mistakes, you don't have to worry about other things, just listen to my orders honestly. ”

This is Yun Zhongjin's voice, and there is a little fierceness and coldness in the panic, and the person who is scolded is naturally Bai Qige.

"No...... She has so many wounds on her body, how can others believe what I say? I don't go to the palace, I don't go, I don't go ......"

"Bai Qige, do you think you can get away with what happened by the river just now?" Yun Zhongjin's voice became more and more vicious, "Murdering the princess, you are committing a capital crime!" ”

Just this sentence was enough to make Yu Che, who was eavesdropping outside, covered in a cold sweat, his heart beat wildly, and he wanted to leave but couldn't say anything, so he could only cover his mouth and lean against the wall, while the conversation inside the room continued.

Bai Qige was obviously frightened by Yun Zhongjin, and kept begging with a crying voice, but Yun Zhongjin had no pity, and even had a hint of pleasure after revenge: "What are you crying for?" Aren't you very proud of the third lady of the Bai family? What about Bai Qige, who pretended to be high and rejected my proposal a few days ago? What's the matter, I'm scared, who is watching Princess Hongxuan with a numb face just now when she was being ruined? Don't pretend to be pathetic to me, a femme fatale like you can even harm her best friend, what else is there to dare to do? Oh, didn't you expect me to appear, right, there are many things you didn't expect, I tell you Bai Qige, I will come again to propose marriage after a period of calm, what should you do when the time comes, think about it, do you want to be my woman obediently or let me reveal the truth and see the Bai family copy your own choice! ”

Three days later, King Zhao Min announced that Princess Hongxuan had lost her foot and drowned, and four months later, Yun Zhongjin proposed to the Bai family, and Bai Qige readily agreed.

There is no more detail, but that is enough, enough to illustrate the most important issues.

"So, I really killed Princess Hongxuan, right?"

In the warm room full of braziers, Bai Qige's smile was sad, and her heart was as cold as ice. Yu Che's words were like a blow to the head, shattering all her self-confidence and stamina, and the sky collapsed in an instant, and even the frozen heart could not be found.

The truth she was desperately looking for turned out to be close at hand, and she didn't want to believe it, but she had to believe it. What kind of woman was Bai Qige back then? Everyone said that Princess Hongxuan treated her like a sister, but just because she liked Yi Chenjing and couldn't ask for any affection, did she kill her sisters? No wonder, no wonder Yi Chenjing always said that she was scheming since she was a child, no wonder Yu Che hated her so much at the beginning, everything can't be complained about, it's her own fault!

The lost and depressed Bai Qige made Yu Che's heart ache, the reality is already very cruel, why should I talk about those past memories, why let the young lady who finally forgot the nightmare fall into pain again?

No matter how strong she is, being repeatedly hit in the predicament of no one relying on protection will still make her lose the courage to live, right?

"Miss, Miss! It's Yuche who is not good, Yuche should be damned, and he shouldn't say those things again...... Miss, it's okay, I'll never tell you about it, I swear yes? I swear poisonously......" Bai Qige sat motionless on the bed, his eyes were dilated, he was stunned as if he had lost his heart, Yu Che's eyes were red, and he knelt on the ground and kept shaking Bai Qige's arm, but he didn't get any reaction.

"I killed the red silk...... No one is lying, I hurt her......"

Lost his mind and muttered incoherently, Yu Che hugged Bai Qige and cried more and more: "Miss, forget it, nothing happened, just forget it." You didn't kill Princess Hongxuan, when His Royal Highness is not angry, we will go back to Zhaoguo together, okay? I want to go back to Zhaoguo, I want to serve Miss for the rest of my life......"

Zhaoguo, Bai family, father, second brother.

I raised my head and closed my eyes, and two tears slipped down for somebody.

"Yuche, can you go back? I killed Princess Hongxuan, how can I go back in time? ”

obviously made an appointment with Yi Chenjing to find out the truth for him, but now that the truth is revealed, she has no courage to accept the reality calmly, so how can she tell him the truth? I can't go back, I can't go back to the peaceful time when he began to trust her, I can't go back to the peaceful life when he laughed for her thrush, and I can't go back to the warm night when he accompanied her to accept punishment in the wind and snow.

After doing so many things and suffering so much, Bai Qige suddenly understood that everything she had done was not only to protect the Bai family and herself, but also for him.

I don't know when I wanted him to stop hating himself.

Is it the guilt and infatuation that remains of this body? Or is she really lost in the gentleness that Yi Chenjing occasionally shows? I don't know, I don't know anything, my mind is full, and all that's left is confusion, despair, and fear.

I'm afraid that if he knows the truth, everything will come to naught.

"Yuche." When I came back to my senses, the noon sun filled the room, and my body was not cold, but my heart was cold. Bai Qige rubbed the corners of his aching forehead, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Don't tell anyone about this matter first, I will explain it to Yi Chenjing when the time comes, but now is not the time." ”

"I will never mention it again in this life, even if I die, Yu Che will bring it to Jiuquan!"

Bai Qige smiled bitterly.

Is someone like her worthy of sworn allegiance? Before she knew it, she had no way back, but to go on, moving forward step by step with the chilling truth.

"I'm going to live, Yuche." The hoarse voice slowly calmed down, and the empty eyes suddenly brightened, different from before, more tenacious and tenacious colors, "You, Bai family, I will risk my life to protect all those who are important to me." Whether it's vicious or not, it's not a pity to die, I'm willing to bear all the infamy, but you must live. Listen to Yu Che, after that, I will do whatever it takes to get the Bai family out of Yi Chenjing's control, you are my most important family, you can't die because of me no matter what, understand? ”

Hugging the personal maid who was crying and had no strength, Bai Qige was surprisingly gentle, and a smile on the corner of her mouth was lonely and cold.

"I don't want to lie to him, I'll tell him the truth when you're safe, and when he wants to kill him, after all, I owe him."

And until then, only continue to lie to him.

The regular footsteps came from far and near, Bai Qige could hear who it was, and hurriedly wiped away the tears on Yu Che's face and smiled.

"I made some porridge in the dining room, and you drank it while it was hot - what's wrong? What happened? Yi Chenjing was carrying the food box, and his heart tightened when he saw the master and servant with red eyes.

"It's nothing, Yu Che saw that I was lying down bored and said something about my family, who wants to listen to it and feel homesick, drop two tears in vain and let you see the joke." Bai Qige let out a long sigh and covered up the past lightly.

Yi Chenjing nodded, opened the food box and put it on the table: "It's okay." After eating and sleeping for a while, the imperial doctor will come back in the afternoon to take a look, and Su Yan will send someone to the room for dinner, and I will talk to you about the drawings when I come back from the imperial study. ”

"You go down first." Bai Qige patted Yu Che on the shoulder and asked her to leave first, leaving Yi Chenjing, who was slightly confused, in the room, "I have peeked at the explanatory notes you wrote, and frankly there is no difference from my thoughts, so I have no suggestions to mention." However, there are a few ways to fight against the Ironclad Army of the Holo Khanate, which may be useful, and I will talk about it in detail when you come back in the evening. In addition, I also have some opinions on how to shake the status of the prince, and you have to tell me about the power dispute between the prince's faction and the left prime minister's faction. ”

Although Bai Qige had promised to help Yi Chenjing with advice, he had never taken the initiative to talk like today, Yi Chenjing couldn't help but be surprised, and his heart was faintly uneasy.

I always feel ...... It was as if she was leaving.

"There is still a long time before the expedition, there is no need to be in such a hurry." Lowering his head and bringing out the rice bowl to hide the chaos that flashed by, Yi Chenjing settled down, "You don't have to worry about Jin Zhaoyi's affairs anymore, it's no surprise that she will come to see you today or tomorrow, do you want to tell the reason for sneaking into the apse and you can grasp it yourself-"

"If I help you take the throne, will you be able to let go of the Bai family?"

The abrupt question made Yi Chenjing silent for a moment, and only after a long time did he gently stir the spoon and look at the calm face through the heat of the porridge.

"Is there an eyebrow about the red silk?" Yi Chenjing didn't answer the rhetorical question, the moment the sensitive nerves were provoked, he was looking forward to it, and he inexplicably had a feeling that he didn't want to know the truth so quickly.

Bai Qige shook his head, his smile was still light and tasteless: "Where did the eyebrows come from without leaving the second door?" I just want to make sure, I really can't trust you, if I try to help you get what you want and I don't get anything, wouldn't it be too much of a loss? Actually, I want you to simply set up a note as proof, but I think it's useless to think about it, so I casually ask if I can take advantage of your lax defense to come out, but unfortunately you are too vigilant to take the bait. ”

The half-joking answer failed to reassure Yi Chenjing, and handed over the rice bowl in silence, brushing away a wisp of emanation from his pale cheeks, Yi Chenjing didn't notice it, this seemed to have become his natural habitual action.
