Chapter 317: Xiao Suo's farewell
more
The eye sockets on the haggard face were deeply sunken, Xu was because of the injury that had not healed, and the face that should have been radiant was dull, and a pair of eyes looked straight at Bai Qige, the Adam's apple moved lightly, but he couldn't say anything else.
For a moment, Bai Qige thought it was his hallucination, Yi Chenjing should be packing up his things in the Yaojun camp and preparing to evacuate, how could he appear in front of him? But his figure and expression were so real, he was there, he could see and hear, but he was just a stone's throw away, within reach.
"Did the prince come here secretly?" Ning Xi was drunk and lost his mind for a moment, and after making sure that the man in front of him was not an illusion, he let go of Bai Qige, and took half a step back to the side without a trace, but he didn't dare to let go of his hand - Bai Qige's state, I'm afraid that if I let go of my hand, I will be weak and weak, right?
The three people in the courtyard stood facing each other, Qiao Erhe looked around secretly outside the door, and always felt that the scene seemed to be a little embarrassing, racking his brains to find a way to play a round, who knew that Ning Xidrunk had already solved the embarrassing dilemma in front of him one step ahead of him.
"The prince came just in time, the white girl's cold has flareed up again, I'll ask where the medicine is, and the prince will help the white girl back to the room first." After that, Ning Xixi was drunk and left calmly, his expression did not change when he passed by Yi Chenjing, and he walked out of the door and knocked on Qiao Erhe's head lightly and lightly, "Let's go, peek and be disgusted by women." ”
Listening to the sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, Yi Chenjing moved his lips and wanted to speak, thinking about it, but he didn't know where to go.
"You shouldn't be here." Bai Qige leaned on the pillar of the porch in front of the room, and said in a low voice.
Yi Chenjing's pale face made Yi Chenjing worry for a while, and stepped forward to take her hand, which was cold and piercing.
"I miss you." The Adam's apple moved slightly, and finally a hoarse sentence was spit out.
Yi Chenjing didn't know if Bai Qige understood his current mood, when he received the letter of resignation that day, he was almost discouraged, and he had a fever and fell asleep for several days, and she had not had a trace of news since then.
"I understand, you are forced to be helpless." Holding Bai Qige's thin shoulders and letting her lean on her chest, Yi Chenjing's voice was low and hoarse, "General Puppet came here with the will of his father, as you and I speculated, everything was Yi Chenxuan's ghost behind the scenes, and now Yi Chenxuan is nowhere to be found, and his father is also out of control and regains power, it won't be long before the inside story of this matter will be made public to the world, and your innocence can be restored." ”
"Does it still make sense to say this?" Without excitement and joy, Bai Qige only asked gloomily.
Yi Chenjing spoke, his fingertips curled up the tarnished hair and put it down, and he said again after a few slurs: "General Bai's business...... People can't be resurrected after death, and I say that no matter how much you are, you will be sad about it. Regardless of anything else, I just hope you can put aside your grievances, my father was manipulated by Yi Chenxuan to give wrong orders one after another, and the blame is not his-"
"If it's not him, it's me?" Hearing that Yi Chenjing exonerated Emperor Yao, Bai Qige was furious and pushed him away violently, "The Yao army attacked all the way to burn and loot, how many people of Zhao Kingdom were displaced along the way, and the second brother killed himself in order to keep the people safe, but you were busy clearing the name of others!" Yi Chenjing, have you ever thought about my father and mother, have you ever thought about those people whose families are ruined? The lives of the people of your distant country are fate, but our Zhaoguo is not it?! ”
"I'm not saying that Zhaoguo's loss doesn't matter, I just want to persuade you not to hold on to these grievances, you are the way you are now, how can I go back and explain to my father?"
"Confess what?" Bai Qige looked at Yi Chenjing coldly, and Sen Liang's gaze turned the sunny autumn night into a cold and gloomy one.
Yi Chenjing's heart was cold, he was silent for a moment, but he still insisted on saying the purpose of his visit: "The matter has been clarified, everything that should be settled will be settled, and after that, I will take you back." ”
When she was in pain from the loss of her family, when she was about to give up her children's love and hatred for a country, he said, do you want to take her back to that place that will only cause hurt and pain? Bai Qige shook his head slowly, broke away from his powerful arm, and stepped back step by step.
There's no going back.
Bai Qige has always valued his family very much, Yi Chenjing knows how hard Bai Haocheng's death will be to her, and how deep the estrangement and hatred will be, but he does not intend to give up, he knows very well in his heart that once he lets go, his life will no longer be complete in this life. He took two steps forward, and wanted to hold Bai Qige and continue to persuade her, but who expected Bai Qige to give him this opportunity at all, so he took two steps back into the house and closed the door with a bang, blocking Yi Chenjing from the room.
Tilting his head against the door panel, his breathing seemed to be smoother, and Bai Qige gulped out to keep himself from suffocating to death from heartache.
"The letter of resignation has been issued, and from now on, you and I will break off our righteousness, and we will have nothing to do with it." It's still a forced and cold tone.
Outside the door, Yi Chenjing's footsteps stopped, and his whole body stiffened.
He didn't even look at the letter of resignation...... Is she serious? Bent his fingers and buckled the door, of course, Bai Qige would not open the door for him. His arm hung down weakly, and Yi Chenjing stood in front of the door with his head down, his eyes sluggish.
After a long time in a dead silence, Yi Chenjing approached with his last expectation, his palm pressed tightly against the door panel, as if he could touch the familiar figure through the door panel, and his tone was soft and almost coaxing.
"Qige, do you remember what you agreed with Li'er? You promised her that you would take her to walk outside the palace, and when her eyes were better, you would go to Qingming Mountain and Qiaojiazhai together to see where Fu Chu and Qiaozhai lived...... Li'er has been waiting for you to go back in the palace, as well as Ye Zi and Su Yan, are you so ruthless that you leave everything behind, even leave them behind? The low voice was faintly trembling, Bai Qige couldn't guess what Yi Chenjing's expression was at this time, he only knew that he was trying his best to control his emotions, just like her. Unable to wait for Bai Qige to respond, Yi Chenjing took a deep breath: "Okay, I won't quarrel with you, I'll just ask you, we agreed that you don't want those promises, right?" ”
"The world is unpredictable, and some changes are inevitable."
Bai Qige replied crisply, without the slightest hesitation.
There was a sudden silence outside the door, and even his breathing could no longer be heard. Resisting the urge to open the door, Bai Qige slowly slid on the ground against the door panel, staring at the quaint carvings of the tables and chairs in the corner motionless—if she moved, the tears in her eyes would not stop falling, and her eyes could no longer bear so much sourness.
Accompany him down, watch him inherit the throne, see him reign over the world, no matter what happens, we have to face it together, and raise a pair of children, a family, and a lifetime after a long, long time.
Those promises are really just one sentence.
Together, forever.
Now, the promise is broken, and the oath is empty.
Once upon a time, Bai Qige regarded tears as a sign of weakness, and when she was reborn as the third lady of the Bai family, when she had a family and a loved one who was willing to live and die, she realized that tears were not weakness, but more of longing, regression, and fulfillment.
Put away those attachments that can't be forgotten in three lives and seven lifetimes, he and her roads are staggered but can't coincide, he has his world, he has the feudal empire he can't choose, and she has her stormy family, and she can't abandon the responsibility, only by regressing and withdrawing from each other's lives, they can not go down with injuries, forget each other, and fulfill each other.
Even if half of a heart is lost.
"Chenjing ......" slowly turned around and put his side face on the door in the dark, Bai Qige couldn't see if Yi Chenjing was still outside, but just wanted to call his name softly like this, fantasizing that his palm was tightly fitting across the door panel, so that it was as if his cheeks were held in his hands, in his palms, warm, gentle, and full of memories.
"When you sit on the day of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, as long as you think of me in your spare time, this is enough." Quietly closed her eyes and let her tears vent, listening to the footsteps outside the door gradually drifting away, weak and ethereal.
Say goodbye tonight, and you will be separated forever, and you will not see life and death.
The moonlight is cold and ruthless, never because of the sorrow and farewell of the world, and the sound of the wind mixed with the depressed heartbeat blows into the distance, perhaps it was heard by someone, so it stood lonely outside the city, waiting for the soulless person to appear.
Seeing Ning Xi drunk waiting in front, Yi Chenjing walked by as if he was not out of sight, completely losing his original arrogance. Ning Xi was drunk and didn't chase after him, he stood in place with his shoulders crossed, and his tone was so light that he seemed to be talking to himself: "Ning Mou originally thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a very persistent person, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that." ”
Yi Chenjing stopped, did not turn around, but his ten fingers were quietly clenched.
"I'm just asking you to help protect her, and you'd better not do anything superfluous."
Rather drunk shrugged and was noncommittal. In fact, he didn't ignore the sudden flash of killing intent in Yi Chenjing's eyes when he appeared just now, just when he hugged Bai Qige, and she didn't dodge. Although he doesn't have many contacts, Ning Xi, who is good at knowing people, has long seen that Yi Chenjing has a desire for exclusivity that is far superior to ordinary people, whether it is power or prestige, especially for things he likes, even if Yi Chenjing entrusts others to take care of him, it does not mean that he will give it away.
To put it simply, Yi Chenjing is blaming him for being "troublesome".
Indeed, the white girl is very strong, and even if she encounters such a disaster, she still does not give up the idea of living, but shoulders the responsibility that others dare not touch. But she is a woman after all, and there will be times when she is tired and wants to rely on someone, in the absence of His Royal Highness the Prince, Ning feels that it is incumbent on her to become the pillar of the white girl. "Rather than drunk eyes like a clear spring, compared with the twinkling stars, it seems stable and peaceful, and the waves are not alarmed.
"What an obligation, confidant, confidant, high-sounding reason!" Yi Chenjing sneered, turned around and glared angrily, "I'd rather be drunk, you listen to me, no matter what happens, no one can take my place!" I can't convince her now, but one day I will make Qige change her mind, even if she gives up a thousand times, ten thousand times, I will not give up - in this life and this life, she can only be my wife! ”
Yi Chenjing's anger was inevitably a little abrupt and unreasonable, but Ning Xiqi was drunk and ignored it, just looked at him with indifferent eyes, and said every word clearly and powerfully.
"If Your Highness can do the best when he says it, if he can't do it......" After a pause, the pair of emerald eyes lowered slightly, and a decisive ripple rippled, "Only those who can make the white girl safe and happy are qualified to be by her side." ”
