Chapter 075: The Cruel Truth
Hearing Yun Zhongjin's answer, Bai Qige's heart was half cold. γLatest chapter reading. If he was just an eyewitness, it was very unlikely that he would know the conspiracy behind Princess Hong's death, and unless the dead Bai Qige himself had told him everything, the secret would really be buried forever.
"Tell me more about what you've seen." Holding on to the remaining luck mentality, Bai Qige shouted in a low voice. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, she doesn't want to give up, although Yi Chenjing has promised that no matter whether she is the culprit who killed Princess Hongxuan or not, she will not be held accountable, but that is the biggest pain in his life, and it will also be a knot that he will not be able to untie in his life, Bai Qige doesn't want to see him entangled in this for a lifetime, let alone a layer of fog called suspicion between the two forever.
The tip of the cold knife was against Yun Zhongjin's Adam's apple, Yun Zhongjin turned his head cautiously, and his voice was still trembling: "Then, that day, I went to General Bai to ask for advice on the art of war, General Bai saw that the weather was gloomy and seemed to be raining, so he asked me to bring you a piece of clothing, and I went to the lake to find you according to General Bai's words, but I didn't expect to see you and Princess Hongfei arguing there, and then you called a few people to give Princess Hongfei ...... Then I accidentally made a noise and was discovered, and those people forced me to do the same thing, or they would kill me together, and I was forced to do itββ! β
Xue Liang's dagger was raised high and slammed into the back of Yun Zhongjin's hand, because of the accurate angle, not even a drop of blood was splashed out, only a pool of bright red under the convulsive palm could be seen soaking through the bedding.
"Ignore my words, don't you?" Looking at Yun Zhongjin screaming miserably, Bai Qige's tone was calm and uneventful, "A false word wastes a hand, you think about it carefully, and another sentence is not as simple as a hand." You seem to be very satisfied with recalling that incident, how can it be persecuted? Also, last time you inadvertently mentioned that I led Princess Hongxuan to the lake, and there were other Bai family members besides me who hurt Princess Hongxuan, tell me honestly, what did you see? β
"I say! I say! Yun Zhongjin screamed like a pig, the blood on his face quickly faded, and he trembled all over. He thought that Bai Qige could casually make up nonsense to clear his name if he lost his memory, but Bai Qige had an excellent brain, not only remembering every word he said when he broke into the school military field last time, but also carefully and intelligently found the rough loopholes in his words, so he had no choice but to give up his crooked mind and tell all the facts he saw.
"It's true that I accidentally bumped into you and Princess Hongxuan, I don't know why you quarreled so fiercely, because the distance is too far, I only heard the words Yi Chenjing and the marriage, and the rest is not clear. Probably too angry, Princess Hongxuan suddenly slapped you, and at this time, a young man came out of the reeds, followed by three strange men. At first, the young man just lowered his head and spoke, and then he somehow began to pull Princess Hongxuan, and those men saw that Princess Hongxuan had been shouting desperately, so they stepped forward to cover her mouth and pushed her to the ground, and then, and then I recognized that the young man was the third young master of the Bai family, thinking that it would be good to be able to threaten the Bai family with a half-official position, anyway, those men couldn't beat me at all, so they walked out. The third young master and you were frightened, I saw Princess Hongxuan lying half-naked on the ground and powerless to resist, and I couldn't help but feel lustful, and I gave Princess Hongxuan in front of you with those people...... I didn't want to kill her, really, I really didn't plan to kill her! Speaking of the second half, Yun Zhong became excited, and kept waving his hands and feet to make the bed creak, and his sharp voice was mixed with a little madness, "It's all wrong to blame her!" It's all her to blame...... IβI just wanted to drag you into the water again, who would have thought that the woman would rush over and kick and hit me like crazy, and I would fight back in a moment of dizziness, and when I calmed down...... By the time she calmed down, she had been pressed into the water by me and drowned...... It's her bad! She brought it on herself, no wonder me, it's not my fault! β
Yun Zhongjin couldn't care about how crazy Bai Qige was, the truth surfaced, and the expected relief did not come, but a heavy blow to the heart followed.
The third young master of the Bai family, her younger brother Bai Haoyu, it was their sister and brother who set up an ambush by the lake that led to the tragic death of Princess Hongxuan.
Why quarrel, why did Bai Haoyu take people to hide in the reeds, why did she stand by and watch the tragedy, why did she plan to kill Princess Hongxuan and the woman who was killed by her still tried her best to protect her, and was finally brutally killed? There were too many unknown questions, too many unacceptable facts, Bai Qige lost his reaction, stood up in despair, and the blood-stained dagger fell to the ground.
The only thing that is certain is that she was the culprit who killed Princess Hongxuan.
"No......" Obviously, Yu Che was also stunned, looking at Bai Qige in disbelief and muttering, but under the domination of his subconscious, he took several steps back, retreated to the corner, and retreated to the farthest place from Bai Qige.
Is this the truth that has been buried for three years?
I don't know how long it took, but when Bai Qige regained consciousness, the knock on the door of Ping Pong became more and more violent.
"The princess? Is the princess okay? If you have nothing to do, please answer the princess! The two guards outside the door listened to Yun Zhongjin's screams constantly coming from the room, but they couldn't hear Bai Qige's voice at all, and they couldn't help but wonder and asked repeatedly.
Now is not the time to be confused about the past, it is really more cruel and terrifying than expected, Bai Qige doesn't want Yi Chenjing to know everything right away, the expedition is imminent, the battlefield is ruthless, and a distraction is very likely to kill him. She wouldn't lie to him, she wouldn't hide it, she had promised, but just a few days later, at this moment, she had to break her promise again.
Reluctantly calming down, Bai Qige picked up the dagger and put it against Yun Zhongjin's chest, and threatened in a low voice: "Keep your mouth shut, unless Yi Chenjing asks in person, I don't want to find out that you mentioned these things to the second person." β
There was too much blood from the wound on his palm, and Yun Zhongjin didn't have the strength to say anything, so he could only nod his head intermittently. Bai Qige put away the dagger, took a deep breath and turned to open the door, and the two guards outside finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she was not unpleasant except for her slightly worse face.
"I brought some hemostatic medicine, and I have to bother the two eldest brothers to apply it to him, His Highness doesn't plan to kill him for the time being, as long as he stays alive." Bai Qige pretended to command calmly, and looked back at Yu Che, the stupid girl was still immersed in great shock and looked in a trance. Walking to Yu Che's side and gently pulling up his cold palm, Bai Qige tried his best to maintain a calm and gentle tone: "Yu Che, it's time to go back, if you have anything to say, go back to Huixi Residence." β
Yu Che, who was awakened by a soft whisper, did not carry out his previous loyalty, but subconsciously shook off Bai Qige's hand, and slowly rubbed against the wall in fear towards the door, shaking his head and pale.
"Jade Che ......"
"Don't come, don't come!"
The screams were heartbreaking, Bai Qige didn't expect Yu Che to be so resistant, his heart was sour, and he stumbled out as if he was running for his life. Bai Qige doesn't blame Yu Che, she can't even fully accept such a heavy truth, let alone the little girl who has always respected her as a sister? In this way, Yu Che no longer believes in her and no longer relies on her, so that he can go back to Zhaoguo without worry, and the long-awaited dream can finally come true.
She doesn't need anyone to share her pain and helplessness, just one person, just herself, and no one she wants to protect.
A person has to live desperately.
However, why is it so uncomfortable in my heart, and why is it suddenly ...... Want to cry?
In the lonely and depressing Yaoguo Palace, in the dust Xuan, thousands of miles away from home, the only person who sincerely trusts her unconditionally has also disappeared, when the truth is made public, will everyone abandon her, scold her and hate her, will Yi Chenjing also turn around like Yu Che? In this world, I am afraid that there is no one who does not hate her.
Returning to the dusty Xuan in the thin twilight, the palace people hurried all kinds of colors along the way, each busy for their own goals, and the monologue was lonely. The courtyard of Huixi Ju is still deserted, and the lively maids who usually bring lively and jubilant are nowhere to be seen, only the door of the house is closed, Bai Qige wanders for a long time, and finally makes up her mind to knock on the door.
"Yuche, are you okay?"
No one answered in the room for a long time, Bai Qige thought that Yu Che had not come back and just wanted to go back to his room, but there was a loud bang behind the door, followed by the sound of broken porcelain and Yu Che's low roar with a crying voice: "Get out!" Get lost! I don't want to see you! Get out! β
With such a heavy tone and ugly words, Yu Che said to Bai Qige for the first time, inside and outside the door, the master and servant who depended on each other under the fence were close at hand, but they were thousands of miles away.
With a low sigh and countless vicissitudes, a shallow smile appeared on Bai Qige's thin face, bitter as Coptis chinensis: "His Royal Highness has returned the freedom of the Bai family, and now the second brother has the right to Zhao**, and Daddy has returned to his hometown, and no one can threaten their safety." I will find His Highness to take care of everything as soon as possible, you pack up your things and bring some coils, and go back to Zhaoguo in a few days when the weather is good. β
Yu Che didn't answer whether he wanted to, and a low sobbing came faintly, and Bai Qige's heart was like a knife when he heard it.
The girl hated her very much, and it was not out of her intention to be sent to the country to accompany her to suffer and suffer, half a year has passed, and in the relationship between the two people from estrangement to closeness, from estrangement to trust, they are not sisters but they are better than sisters, and now, in the end, they want to lock the door of their hearts and scatter in two.
The palm of her hand gently stroked the door panel, Bai Qige didn't know if Yu Che could feel the coldness in her heart, lowered her head, and tightly clutched the clothes that Yu Che had carefully taken care of her in the morning, until she clutched out the ugly folds.
"I'm not a good man and a woman, and I don't know how many sins I've committed, and maybe I'll do more wrong things in the future. So far, I don't ask anyone for forgiveness and understanding, whether it's you or Yi Chenjing, even if you hate me and hate me, it's a matter of course. I just hope that for the sake of the former master and servant, don't tell your father and mother about these things, they are old and can't withstand more blows. Yuche, maybe I won't be able to go back to Zhaoguo in this life, and I can only ask you to take care of my father and mother. There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not, if you are willing to listen to it, take it to heart, if you don't want to, just let me say nothing. β
There was no one around, the silence was like death, Bai Qige lowered his eyebrows and looked gloomy.
"I have no one to rely on in this deep palace except you, but if you really can't accept the facts, I'd rather you go back to Zhaoguo and forget everything - as a sister, I want you to live happily."
