Chapter 287: Beacon Fire Spreads
Bai Qige had already experienced the coldness of the heavenly prison, and when he came to visit the war court, he felt extremely resistant, and now that he was in prison, he realized that the suffering of the heavenly prison was not as simple as the cold and cold.
The most difficult thing is the feeling of being on death row, the sneering and slightly pitiful eyes of the jailer, the narrow prison where there is not even a window, even if there is good food and good food to treat each other, I still can't stop my heart from slowly falling into loneliness and despair, the sky is falling, and my chest is suffocated.
She knew that Yi Chenjing would definitely find a way to save her.
But she didn't want to see it, and he did everything he could to save her.
What a net of heaven and earth, this net is even shrouded in Emperor Yao, using the will of the supreme ruler of a dynasty to force her to death, and quietly persecuting Yi Chenjing, forcing him to disobey Emperor Yao, and forcing him to become a rebellious prince.
Whose decision is this? The emperor's, the queen's, Yi Chenxuan's, or someone else.
In the uncontrollable cold, Bai Qige thought about these unanswered questions over and over again, groggy and confused, until a familiar voice sounded in her ears, and her cold body touched the warmth that made her miss to death again.
"Chenjing ......"
"Hmm."
I was in a daze and fell asleep for too long, and I still couldn't see clearly when I opened my eyes, but Bai Qige knew that it was him by my side, his eyes were hazy, and a smile appeared on his pale cheeks.
What's the use of thinking too much. Why worry too much. No matter how much she tries to persuade and stop Yi Chenjing, she will still find a way to meet her, won't she. He is such a person, stubborn, stubborn, always refusing to listen to her, and protecting everything in her own way.
"Su Yan and Jin Zhaoyi are persuading the queen to come forward, and the father and emperor have not set a date for execution, and there is still room for a turnaround." Supporting Bai Qige, who was weak, to sit in the corner of the wall, Yi Chenjing poured out a pill and stuffed it into her mouth, "Eat the medicine, your body will be cold." β
If Yi Chenjing didn't say anything, Bai Qige almost forgot that his lower abdomen was cold and painful, and the warmth of Xu was diluting the cold, and just feeling the warmth of his palm would gush out new strength. After waking up for a while, I could finally see clearly, and Qingjun's cheeks in front of him were still as angular as when they were separated, but the depth in those eyes was a little gloomy, and they were no longer as indifferent and calm as before.
Seeing Yi Chenjing wearing the clothes of a little eunuch, Bai Qige probably guessed seven or eight points, and understood that he was not here above board, so his words could only be compressed and compressed, and he tried to be as concise as possible: "There are people in the south who are secretly making trouble, and robbing the grain and grass is the work of the Xinguo Anling, but there are other people who steal the sand cannon and bombard the Guang Garrison Army, and I have seen the leaders of these two sides but there is no evidence to prove it." What is already known is that these people have a great relationship with the Rouhu Kingdom, and it is not certain whether they have anything to do with Yi Chenxuan for the time being; Also, Ye Zi was instigated by Song Mujie to rob the prisoner, and if you follow Song Mujie's clue, you may have something to gain. β
"I will find an opportunity to ask Ning Xidrunk about the affairs of Nanjiao, and General Xiao will try his best to help over there, as for Song Mujie......" Yi Chenjing paused, his expression was a little confused, "I am also surprised by Song Mujie's death." Previously, he was removed from the post of head of the guard, but he was reinstated because of the queen's recommendation to intercede, if he instigated Xiao Yezi to rob the prisoner, then the person who secretly instructed him after him was Yi Chenxuan or the queen. β
"I can't guess who it is, but this person's intention is obvious, to push me into an even more disadvantageous situation by robbing the prisoner by Ye Zi, and then force you to quarrel with the emperor over this, or even break up."
Bai Qige's analysis is almost the same as Yi Chenjing's, but this information is not enough, they don't have enough clues to infer who is planning all this incident, and the most important thing is that now Emperor Yao has also become one of their resistance, and if they don't try to remove Bai Qige's death penalty first, there is no way to talk about other things.
The dilemma made both of them fall silent, and remembering the execution decree that came at an unknown time, Yi Chenjing's heart ached faintly.
"I'll leave in normal time, and you can sleep on me for a while."
There were no windows and no hourglasses in the death row, Bai Qige didn't know what time it was, and vaguely felt that it should be night. Thinking about it, it was just a bright day, even if it was dusk in the evening, the time that Yi Chenjing could accompany her was only a short night, such a precious reunion, how could she be willing to waste it in her sleep.
Leaning on Yi Chenjing's warm body, Bai Qige sighed silently: "People say that ** a moment is worth a thousand gold, but I think it is difficult to buy a thousand gold on death row. β
Hearing that she was still in the mood to joke, Yi Chenjing also relaxed a lot, and the two of them nestled in the corner of the death row and snuggled up to each other, passing their body temperature to each other.
The death penalty sounded terrible, but it didn't seem very close to them, probably because it happened so suddenly, and the heart that was immersed in comfort had not yet awakened. Yi Chenjing can't say what kind of feeling he has, although he was angry when he learned that Emperor Yao gave the order to kill, he was not worried much, the father who made him unpredictable has always been uncertain and mysterious, and he retains an invincible impression in his heart, and he is emotionally sorry for many people, but no one can compare to control the government and make decisions, so he still holds a trace of luck, hoping to see the peaks and turns in despair.
With Bai Qige by his side, his mind was much quieter, and Yi Chenjing began to think about all kinds of doubts about the conspiracy again, and when the surroundings were quiet and silent, and even breathing came to his ears, he realized that Bai Qige, who was pillowing on his shoulder, had fallen asleep.
She lost count of the days and nights that had passed, and it was the first time in months that she had slept so soundly.
After careful calculation, it has been 100 days since they were separated, which is the longest time since Bai Qige married into Yaoguo. Yi Chenjing gently turned sideways and took Bai Qige in her arms, her chin against her soft hair, closed her eyes, and suddenly calmed down, as if the hustle and bustle of the world had lost its meaning, and only this moment was eternal.
"Your Highness, it's almost dawn," the jailer came to urge him to leave, the death row was silent, and the couple who hugged each other in the corner were like tired children, and their clean and peaceful sleeping faces made people can't bear to wake up. The jailer stood for a moment, then walked away silently, and dutifully stood in front of the prison gate to continue his guard, listening carefully to the hourglass in his ears, waiting for the day to light again, and waiting for the hour to be at the last moment.
At that time, let us be more ruthless and wake up the sleeping people.
The horse's hooves splashed countless flowers between a field of flowers, and the galloping man had no intention of pity for those innocent petals, holding the reins, his thin lips were pursed, and a hint of panic could be faintly seen in his slightly brown eyes, and the purse hanging from his waist was extremely incommensurate with the bright silver armor, but it was obvious that it had been carefully guarded, and there was not even the slightest dirt.
With a neigh, the brown and red horses stopped in front of the Gaomen compound, the man turned over and dismounted, and hurried into the door, the word "White House" on the hanging plaque seemed to be a little shabby, but it could still be seen that the glory of the past was glorious.
"Haocheng, you can count it back," as soon as she entered the door, the weather-covered old woman rushed to the man, grabbing the corner of the vermilion clothes and tears raining down, "You quickly think of a way, your sister her...... Your sister is really desperate this time,"
Bai Haocheng was sweaty and uncomfortable, his tone was a little anxious, but he still lost his usual gentleness: "Mother, if you have something to say, what happened to Qige." β
Mrs. Bai, who married into Jiangmen, has never changed the weakness and cowardice of everyone's ladies, knowing that she should tell the matter in detail at this time, but her tears are uncontrollable, and her crying does not listen to her command, and she whimperes for a long time, but she didn't even say a complete sentence. Seeing that Mrs. Bai had lost her cool, Bai Haoyu, who came out after her, had no choice but to pull away her mother, who was crying and powerless, and stuffed a letter into Bai Haocheng's hand.
"Second brother, my sister committed something on the side of Yaoguo, Emperor Yao ordered my sister to be sent to prison, and said that he would ask for beheading on a certain day, my father has already gone to see the king, and I don't know if it will work, if not, we have to find a way to save my sister by ourselves,"
Bai Haoyu's words made Bai Haocheng's face pale in an instant, and his hanging hand wiped the purse on his waist, the delicate touch was the same as in the past, such as his protection for many years and the pity of other sisters, such as his careful feelings.
Now, she is not around, and he can't protect it.
The sturdy body shook, Bai Haocheng reluctantly settled down, opened the letterhead and read it carefully, his face became more and more bad.
Anling Kingdom, a new country that has sprung up in the Monan region, although it is far away from Zhao Kingdom, Bai Haocheng still has a certain understanding of this force, and even Bai Qige will be persuaded to surrender to Cheng, how can he, the god of war in Zhongzhou, be immune from it. An Lingguo had sent someone to Zhaoguo to win over Bai Haocheng a few months ago, and the person who took on this important task, Bai Haocheng, was no stranger, it was his father Bai Jingfu's old protΓ©gΓ©, Wu Siying.
It is undeniable that Wu Siying is a genius in military use, even if he is not as good as Bai Haocheng, he can be regarded as one of the best in Zhongzhou, and the lord who can make Wu Siying willingly surrender and serve must have something extraordinary, and Bai Haocheng is quite interested in that Anling lord. It's just that he didn't expect that the person who interested him did what made him the most unbearable, because of the dispute between Anling and Yaoguo, his most beloved sister was forced to get involved, and once again saddled the crime of traitor and collaborator with the enemy, and was even about to face the death penalty.
"Xiao Yu, write a letter to Wu Siying for me, and tell him that I will rush to the imperial capital of Yaoguo within five days, if I can't see him then...... Afterwards, I will definitely lead the three armies of the Zhao Kingdom and kill the Anling Kingdom without leaving a piece of armor. Dropping the cold order that had no room for relaxation, Bai Haocheng turned around and stepped out of the Bai Mansion, with a deep anger between his eyebrows.
Bai Haocheng's sudden ruthlessness frightened Madame Bai, and the old woman, who had lost a son and two daughters, trembled, threw herself in front of the horse to stop Bai Haocheng, and refused to let him go. The current situation could not be clearer, Bai Haocheng planned to contact An Lingguo, represented by Wu Siying, and his purpose must be to find out the original reason for Bai Qige's crime of collaborating with the enemy, and meeting in the imperial capital of Yaoguo shows that once he learns that Bai Qige is wronged, he will go directly to Yaohuang regardless of everything.
Bai Haocheng was entangled by Madame Bai and couldn't get out for a while, and when he was pulling, there was a sudden majestic shout from behind him: "Presumptuous, who allowed you to go to Yaoguo." οΌβ
"Daddy......" Bai Haocheng was shocked by the angry shout, turned around and subconsciously stood up in order, but his hand was on the reins and refused to put it down, "Dad, Qige is in trouble, the prince can't protect her, do I have to watch her be wronged to death." I'm her brother, you let me,"
"I'll let you lead the troops well in Zhaoguo, Qige has his own destiny whether he is dead or alive, and no one is allowed to interfere." Bai Jingfu walked to the horse with his hands in his hands, and he didn't look at Bai Haocheng who was full of anger, and a trace of hidden pain in his pretended calm expression was fleeting.
