"Mrs. Qi?" Breaking into Bai Qige's bedroom with a cold expression, Yi Chenjing did not see Yi Chenxuan or any other opposing person as expected, only the haggard and withered concubine of the fifth prince leaned on the head of the bed, and the tears on her face had not dried up, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised and embarrassed.

Although Bai Qige's face was not good, he had stabilized his mood after all, and in order to prevent Yi Chenjing from asking questions that might irritate Mrs. Qi, he hurriedly pushed him out of the bedroom.

"Yuche, go take care of Mrs. Qi." Calling Yu Che into the house, Bai Qige continued to push Yi Chenjing outside the room, closed the door and said in a low voice, "Don't ask anything now, settle Mrs. Qi and I'll talk to you in detail." ”

"Why is your face so bad?" Putting aside Mrs. Qi, Yi Chenjing is more concerned about Bai Qige at the moment, the woman who has always been calm and tough when facing him is obviously depressed, and there is a faint hint of reluctance.

Hiding his head, Bai Qige looked back at the room: "You go to the study first, and I'll arrive later." ”

Yi Chenjing knew that she had a stubborn personality, and no one could stop what she wanted to say, and if she didn't want to say it, even if she was forced to say it with a knife, it would never be possible to confide in her. Sighing worriedly, Yi Chenjing nodded: "My father is not feeling well and resting in the palace, so I don't have to go to the imperial study for the past two days." After settling in, I will come directly to the study, and it just so happens that I have something to ask you. ”

Bai Qige didn't have the heart to say much to him, so she hurried back to the bedroom with a casual response, and only Yi Chenjing was left standing in the empty courtyard. The white magnolia trees in the cold wind in the courtyard have not yet reached the flowering season, and only the gray-black goshawk cooing and whispering on the dry branches, and the golden beaded eyes are vigilantly patrolling around. Yi Chenjing raised his hand slightly, and the goshawk hovered and flew down with a loud and long roar, rubbing his hair that was picked up by the cold wind affectionately, and a few feathers fluttered.

"Xiao Zhen, guard her well." I don't know if Xiao Zhen can understand, when neither he nor the battle court can withdraw his attention, Yi Chenjing can only hand over his mind to a goshawk, and no one knows except it.

It was already evening to appease Mrs. Qi, Sanjiu Long was dark early in winter, and it had already entered the dark night before dinner time, Bai Qige asked Yu Che to go to the dining room to get some food for Mrs. Qi, and he didn't care about eating and ran directly to Yi Chenjing's study.

As soon as I entered the door, there was a burst of vegetable aroma, and I couldn't help but protest and let out a low sound when I was hooked up with hunger. Yi Chenjing, who was buried in front of the bookcase, looked up at Bai Qige, got up and packed up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and put the food box on the table: "Eat first." ”

"Didn't you go to dine with Concubine Jing?" Bai Qige was surprised.

"It's been in the study—you didn't say what time to come, so you had to wait."

It is a very happy thing to be waiting to be waited for to eat together, but the other party is Yi Chenjing, Bai Qige doesn't know whether to thank him with gratitude, or to sigh that no one can give her this kind of warm life except for the people who use her.

The side dishes are very exquisite, they are all more in line with Bai Qige's taste, but it's a pity that the mood is dull and the food doesn't know the taste, and it just plays a role in filling the stomach after eating in silence face to face.

After the maid cleaned up the mess, Bai Qige sat on the couch tiredly, wearing a Shengxue brocade skirt and hanging down her feet.

"It's cold, why do you change into a thin shirt? This color looks cold and light. Yi Chenjing frowned, he remembered that the clothes that Bai Qige often wore were very elegant, and it was the first time he had seen such a gorgeous brocade dress.

"Mrs. Qi was very emotionally unstable, her clothes were scratched and wrinkled when she helped her, and the other two pieces of pulp had not been dried after washing, so she turned over and put them on in a hurry."

Yi Chenjing has never liked fancy clothes, so he was bored and said: "If you don't have it, let Su Yan buy it, I don't want to see this dress again, so I will go back and burn it." ”

No matter how bad the mood is, Bai Qige still cheered up and glanced at Yi Chenjing, this person is always in a gust of wind and rain, what clothes are others wearing to hinder him, what's the matter? It's really incomprehensible that you can't manage the affairs of your family and the country, and you still mess up these trivial matters.

grabbed the teacup and drank it all without any image, before Yi Chenjing opened her mouth to ask, Bai Qige took the initiative to narrate the events of the day as it was, and her long eyes became deeper and deeper with her narration.

"It is not a strange thing to raise male pets, many princes will accept male pets to teach them room skills before marrying wives and concubines, and some stay by their side. That Su Jinyan was enshrined as an advocate in a foreign country back then, because of his beautiful appearance and clear voice, he was given to the five emperor brothers on the dragon's birthday to relieve his boredom, and he became a guest after Naqi's concubine, I really didn't expect that after so many years, the two of them still had the joy of bedding, no wonder there would be such unbearable rumors between palace maids and eunuchs. ”

Yi Chenjing was hostile to Yi Chenxuan, and he was naturally outspoken when he spoke, but these words fell into Bai Qige's ears like a knife, and his heart hurt.

It is not difficult to see that Su Jinyan is Yi Chenxuan's confidant, and she never doubted it, until Mrs. Qi personally confirmed that the rumors were true, and the relationship that was originally biased towards Yi Chenxuan's side collapsed instantly.

"I told you he couldn't be sincere, and now you believe it?" Seeing Bai Qige's down-and-out appearance, Yi Chenjing was nameless, and he felt a little happy inexplicably, "Although I have only been back to Yaoguo for three years, my understanding of him is by no means inferior to other princes, everyone sees him as gentle and elegant, and he doesn't know how many characters he has fallen, but I can see clearly that he is the most hidden one among all the princes - if it weren't for me, the person who is now planning to bring down the prince will be him, the five princes who are most favored by his father, and the person who even you refuse to doubt." ”

"Aren't you the one who hides the deepest? Taoguang is obscure, forbearance, and even women have to take advantage of it. Bai Qige sneered at each other, not to be outdone.

Her heart was already uncomfortable enough, did Yi Chenjing have to expand that wound and tear her whole heart apart before she would give up? It's because she has always been unwilling to suspect the depth of Yi Chenxuan's city mansion that she ended up now, and now it's okay, the only person who treats her gently has also been proven to be a scam, and overnight, the trust is nothing.

It's a pleasure, it's nice to see her being fooled, watching her embarrassment as entertainment, isn't it? People like Yi Chenjing will never understand, will not understand her involuntary body, and will not understand her helplessness.

If he could give her an equal status from the beginning like Yi Chenxuan, even if it was just to discard the countless cruel tortures he had inflicted on her, then maybe the person she believed in would not be the scheming Fifth Prince, but him.

Bai Qige laughed bitterly at herself, everything is irreparable, and the misunderstanding is deeply rooted in her heart at this moment, she finally understands that what she can't let go of Yi Chenxuan is not her love, that feeling is just a yearning for a ray of light in the dark, a warm expectation in the cold night, to put it bluntly, a sense of security.

On the cusp of the storm, no matter how strong a person is, he can't resist the temptation from the haven, but Yi Chenjing can't give this feeling, he will only tear her apart again and again, and kick her into the sea of swords and fire again and again.

The dejected aura made Yi Chenjing realize that he had unconsciously said the most hurtful words. He didn't deliberately touch Bai Qige's sore spot, but he felt angry when he saw that she was gloomy because of Yi Chenxuan's loss, and told her to stay away from that person early in the morning, why would she rather believe Yi Chenxuan's nonsense than believe him?

Stubbornly turning his head, Yi Chenjing didn't want to look at the face that was ruined by him, otherwise, he couldn't help but guess the reason why Bai Qige didn't trust him.

Arguing without saying a few words seems to have become an irreversible rule between the two people, Bai Qige is used to it and is indifferent, he breathes a long breath to restrain his emotions, his chest rises and falls to drive his shoulders, and there is a sharp pain in his shoulders.

"What's wrong?" Despite the small movements, Yi Chenjing still noticed the slight movement of her frowning and pressing her left shoulder.

Bai Qige was still angry, and turned to the side lukewarmly: "It's nothing, you can't die." ”

is as stubborn as a cow, and she won't say anything if it hurts. Yi Chenjing couldn't help but pull away Bai Qige's hand on his shoulder, and his slender fingers neatly picked up the collar of the cardigan: "Let me see." ”

"If you want to be shameless, I will deal with it myself if it hurts, what does it matter to you?" Slapping away the dishonest fingers hard, Bai Qige glared fiercely and sensitively hid to the side of the bed. There is a shadow on Yi Chenjing's touch, this is the truth, it has nothing to do with being strong or brave, although it is not as frightened as before, it is still difficult to accept it calmly, after all, the relationship between the two people is just to use each other and not a real husband and wife.

However, Bai Qige underestimated Yi Chenjing's stubbornness.

After being rejected by resistance, Yi Chenjing did not retreat but advanced, this time he simply didn't even say hello, locked Bai Qige's shoulder with one hand, and quickly untied the knot with the other hand, and with a long finger, the white shoulders were exposed.

Then gasped.

A large bruise on the shoulder, which was as delicate as mutton fat white jade, and the texture of the blood vessels was sinuous and prominent, which was obviously formed by a heavy blow, which was shocking.

"Who hurt you?" Yi Chenjing's face suddenly sank, and his tone was extremely cold.

After a busy afternoon, he had no time to spare, and when the severe pain hit, he remembered that his shoulder was injured by the glass beads, Bai Qige shook his head, and before he could think about it, he blurted out: "It's Su Jinyan." ”

Yi Chenjing didn't ask any more questions, turned around and took out a bottle of medicinal oil from the corner of the bookcase and poured it into his palm, gently rubbed his warm palm on his shoulder, and didn't let go until the cold skin under his hand slowly came to a faint body temperature, and carefully tidied up his clothes.

Bai Qige kept stiff and didn't dare to move, and even her breathing was subconsciously suppressed, even if she knew that Yi Chenjing wouldn't hurt her—at least not now, too close would still make her nervous.

"It's good that it didn't hurt the bones, otherwise you would have suffered. Take this medicine back and let Yu Che push it once in the morning and evening, and it won't hurt in two days. Yi Chenjing stuffed the medicine bottle into Bai Qi Singer, and when his eyes swept over his slender waist, he shook his fingers, and the medicine bottle rolled onto the couch.

The vermilion palace silk outside the plain white dress is particularly eye-catching, and what attracts Yi Chenjing's attention is not the palace silk, but a jade piccolo hanging on it.

"You still keep it......" There was a lonely smile on his lips, light and soft, infinite remembrance.

The piccolo was found when Yu Che rummaged through the old things brought from Zhaoguo, because he felt that it was simple and small, it was quite rare to hang on Bai Qige's waist, Bai Qige didn't know what its origin was, and when he saw Yi Chenjing's gentle but gloomy look, he expected that this thing must be related to Princess Hongxuan.

Sure enough, gently stroking the piccolo, Yi Chenjing changed to a peaceful and quiet person.

"You're the only one left. The red silk one can't be found, and my one has been buried with her for the time being. ”
