Chapter 170: Where the Heart Belongs
"Really, can I stay as long as I want," Ye Huawan was overjoyed, and jumped up from the chair, two slays of crimson on her immature face.
Yi Chenjing nodded, not noticing the slightest hint of surprise flashing across Bai Qige's face.
"Okay Yezi, Sister Bai just woke up, you need to rest more, what do you look like if you continue to be so noisy," Fu Chu pulled Ye Huawan and smiled at Bai Qige, "Sister Bai take care of her injuries, Ye Zi and I will go to prepare the things to be used on the road, if there is anything, just call me, Master, you should also rest and rest." Turning around, half teasing and half persuading, Fu Chu said to Shen Yuqiu a little helplessly: "Didn't you say that you should plant new herbs in the past two days, let's go, I'll help you plant them." ”
Among the three masters and apprentices, Fu Chu knows the most about human feelings, especially in terms of feelings, Fu Chu thinks more deeply than Shen Yuqiu, so he let the master and sister leave so that Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige can have a space to be alone, and explain everything they want to say and what they should say. Although he is young, his eyes are bright, and it is not difficult to see from Bai Qige's trance at the well that day and Yi Chenjing's abnormal performance afterwards that there is a problem between the dragon and the phoenix, which are very well matched, and it has not been solved so far, otherwise Bai Qige would not have alienated Yi Chenjing intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing the three masters and apprentices with different expressions leaving, Yi Chenjing picked up the porridge again and silently sent it to Bai Qige's mouth, Bai Qige pushed it away with his hand, refusing to swallow a mouthful.
"The body is your own, don't hold it hard, you can't see the blood on your face." stubbornly holding the bowl and refusing to put it down, Yi Chenjing spoke softly and coaxed and persuaded, Bai Qige couldn't bear his thoughtfulness of both soft and hard, and barely drank a few sips of porridge.
Wiping the marks on his lips, Bai Qige frowned slightly: "Didn't the poison doctor refuse to save me, why did he suddenly change his mind, did you make any promises to him?"
With Yi Chenjing's cold and hard temper, it is more difficult for him to beg for someone than to ascend to the sky, even if he is reluctant to speak, he will definitely hate the other party, how can he get along with the poison doctor like now, what Bai Qige is most afraid of is that he agrees to the poison doctor's request with a hot head, those transcendent hermit-type characters have strange tempers, who knows if the poison doctor has harsh conditions or requirements in exchange, she doesn't want Yi Chenjing to pay too much for this, she has nothing to give him, she can't afford it at all.
"What can I promise him, give him everything I have, and that guy won't necessarily raise his eyelids and take a look."
After Bai Qige lost too much blood and fell asleep, Yi Chenjing has been by her side, she is asleep, he is guarding, and there has been no water for two days, at this time, when the heart is put back in the stomach, he immediately feels hungry, and he doesn't care that the porridge in the bowl is Bai Qige's leftovers, so he actually gobbles up pickles.
He is the prince of a country, the most noble person except the emperor, even when he was a proton, he has never been reduced to the point of eating leftovers, even if he knows that the porridge is her leftovers, he will not mind swallowing it, Bai Qige still can't help but feel distressed, cold fingers climbed up the thin cheeks, hovering between the haggard eyebrows and lingering.
She remembered Yi Chenjing's kindness to her, but because she remembered it too clearly, she didn't feel steady, and she didn't know if she was qualified to have his favor.
"You have a good rest in the past two days, and the battle court will come over soon after receiving the news, and some of them will be busy by then." Putting down the empty rice bowl, Yi Chenjing grabbed Bai Qige's finger on his forehead and carefully wrapped it in the warm palm, as if she would run away as soon as she let go.
After briefly explaining the identity relationship between Shen Yuqiu, Qingxu, Shen Junfang and others for Bai Qige, Yi Chenjing leaned on the head of the bed tiredly, and the dark circles under his eyes silently confirmed the fact that he hadn't rested well for a long time, Bai Qige hesitated for a moment, and gently pushed Yi Chenjing's shoulder: "Go sleep for a while, you're too tired." ”
"It's okay here, you're not around, I can't let go."
"Then sleep here, anyway, I can't stay up any longer." Moving his body inward, Bai Qige vacated a place for Yi Chenjing, "Your injuries are not healed, if you continue like this, you will fall ill sooner or later, and you will delay the trip back to the imperial capital in vain." ”
Yi Chenjing closed his eyes and smiled lightly, and suddenly pulled Bai Qige into his arms.
"I'm fine, Qige, I'm really good." Fatigue poured all over his body for many days, but Yi Chenjing had a happy look on his face. Bai Qige struggled a few times and then stopped moving, the two of them snuggled up to the half-lying bed, such a peaceful time made Yi Chenjing cherish it incomparably, and he didn't even want to waste a moment of snapping his fingers, and his dreamy voice was clear and magnetic: "I never thought that it would be so easy to stay away from the smoke of power, maybe I have always been wrong, I shouldn't fight for the throne at all, and it is also a good choice to live in seclusion in the mountains like a poison doctor." ”
Looking for a secluded idyllic retreat, no need to work hard to fight openly and secretly, and spend the rest of your life every day, such a life is what every woman who has experienced strong winds and waves and dirty power struggles desires, Yi Chenjing waited for Bai Qige to smile and look forward to the future, but what he didn't want to wait for was a long silence and a sigh.
"Why do you lie to me,"
The calm expression froze on his face, and gradually turned into fatigue, Yi Chenjing rubbed the corners of his forehead, and raised his eyes to look at those clear eyes.
"I can't hide it from you...... I think, you always know. ”
"It's good to live without fighting with the world, but that's not what you want, how many humiliations Taoguang has endured for so many years, how can you give up with your character and heart," Speaking of Yi Chenjing's heart, Bai Qige seemed to know more than him, and clearly didn't believe what Yi Chenjing said just now, "Everyone has his own life, and a poison doctor can be a hermit, but you can't do it." First, you have the ambition to level the world and pay a lot for it, and secondly, you have the talent to govern the world, at least I think you have. You don't have to worry about me, if I don't want you to reign in the world, how can I stay by your side, the agreement between you and me has long lost its meaning, and I want you to do something, instead of being a mediocre prince. ”
Bai Qige's fingertips on the palm of his hand were cold and pale, Yi Chenjing clenched it with pity, but his body temperature couldn't make that slender hand warm.
She knew him too well, his good, his evil, his ambition, his ability, everything in her eyes, and never left anything out. He also wanted to see her clearly and thoroughly like Bai Qige, and wanted to read her thoughts and what she was thinking from her calm eyes, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it, and if he could do it, he wouldn't have to worry about speculating about her mind.
Kissing his forehead lightly, Yi Chenjing hugged Bai Qige tighter: "I just want to test if you want to live that kind of life." I thought about it when you were asleep, it seemed that you didn't have a good day when you were with me, and it seemed that you had servants to serve you, but in fact you worked hard and had to face conspiracies and battles that had nothing to do with you. I'm afraid that you will be tired, I'm afraid that you will retreat, and I'm even more afraid that if you have any grievances and sadness, you will hold it in your stomach and not say anything, your temperament is always used to forbearance. ”
Bai Qige pillowed on Yi Chenjing's shoulder and was silent.
She was indeed tired and tired, and she barely supported it because his imperial business had not succeeded.
In all fairness, Yi Chenjing is the most suitable emperor among the people she has ever seen, brave and calm, smart and cautious, graceful and can cover the sun and the moon, and his bearing can swallow mountains and rivers, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the true son of heaven and the dragon among people. When it comes to shortcomings, Yi Chenjing has only one choice, love and hate are too clear, and his personality is always a little contradictory and extreme, which makes him lose a lot of things at the same time, what she has to do is to polish his too sharp light, so that he can become a flawless king and dominate the country.
Suddenly thinking of something, Bai Qige raised his head: "By the way, aren't you the most tired of talking people, how can you treat Miss Ye extraordinarily,"
"I'm a wicked man, and I have no other agenda. You should be able to see that although Fu Chu is not very old, he has amazing talent, and the poison doctor promised to lend him to me for a year, and then he will leave to decide for himself. Ninety percent of that Ye Zhuang owner is his sweetheart, so if I want to keep Ye Zhuang Master, he will definitely choose to stay. Yi Chenjing gently raised Bai Qige's chin, "Why, I'm jealous, I thought you were a very generous woman." ”
These words were originally said jokingly, but I didn't expect Bai Qige to take it seriously, and his face turned cold for a moment.
"I've never been a generous person, sorry to disappoint you."
"Seriously, I'm kidding." Yi Chenjing gasped and hurriedly took the person back into his arms, "I wish you were jealous." Suyan is virtuous and gentle, and there is nothing to say about your sisters; Ke Surao is cunning, she has repeatedly caused trouble before, I have been waiting for you to ask me to write a letter of resignation to drive her away, but after waiting for so long, you didn't say a word, I really doubt that you are so generous that even I can share it with others. ”
Bai Qige chuckled, plain and tasteless.
"Your heart is tied to only one person, and no one can take it away."
Unfortunately, it wasn't her.
Yi Chenjing didn't notice the implication of the words, he lay down on his side, buried his head in Bai Qige's neck, his breathing was warm, and he fell asleep peacefully after a while.
Bai Qige quietly looked at the empty room, and her heart was numb.
Yi Chenjing thought of her too well, thinking that she was generous and lenient and would not be jealous of any woman, but she didn't know that now she was showing the most terrible and ugly side of a woman, jealous, distorted, cranky for unfounded speculations, and even made false assumptions and was sad about it.
She was not such a person, when did she start to become a jealous woman, and what is even more ridiculous is that she is jealous of a person who has been dead for many years.
In a towering mountain in Xichu, there are turbulent waves lurking under the wind and rising sun, and the most prosperous city in Zhongzhou is the wind and rain, and there is a place where there is no sound.
"General Xiao has confirmed that the two corpses in Lingyun City are not the Seventh Prince and the Imperial Princess, and he is currently leading people to search along the road; The perjury testified before he could be tried and died in a mysterious and violent death in the prison of the magistrate's government, the cause of which is unknown, and the investigation is still ongoing. Your Majesty, do you want to order a large-scale search?"
The deep and loud voice woke up the remote emperor who was taking a nap, his wrist trembled, and his head was almost knocked off. Sleepy eyes looked at the occasional Suiliang who bowed down to pray, and Emperor Yao reacted for a long time before lazily waving his hand: "No need, if Jing'er is still alive, she will definitely find a way to come back." Isn't this matter still unannounced, in case I make a disturbance in the city, it is not good to startle the snakes, and the people who want to harm him are only afraid that there are not one or two,"
Occasional Sui Liang nodded thoughtfully, and worry flashed on his face.
"Sui Liang, you choose a hundred forbidden troops to go to Wuhuan Mountain, act carefully, and never be discovered." Picking up the pen and writing a letter and handing it to Sui Liang, Emperor Yao coughed twice, and a wry smile appeared on his face, "Jing'er, this kid, do you think that no one will be able to find Yun'er if you hide it there, I just hope it's too late to go now, otherwise...... In this life, I can't get back the guilt I feel about her. ”
