The shackles of power and the prison of wealth.

There was not a trace of warmth in the palatial room, the incense burner on the table was overturned, the ashes were scattered all over the ground, and traces of dried blood could be faintly seen. The night attack that almost killed Bai Qige a few days ago is vivid, and there was still some popularity in this room at that time, but at this moment, except for the haggard figure sitting on the head of the bed, the room was silent, as if it was empty.

After grasping Bai Qige's weakness of worrying about his relatives, Yi Chenjing no longer sent people to guard it, now Zhaoguo is a vassal country, and the Bai family is a criminal people, wanting the Bai family to disappear from the world overnight is easy for the high-ranking and powerful Seven Princes, yes, and Yi Chenjing believes that even if the door is wide open and goes straight to the outside of the palace, Bai Qige will not escape from the dust Xuan.

Since entering the palace, right and wrong have flashed in his mind one by one, and Bai Qige has peeled back the cocoon to sort out his thoughts, hoping to get some clues from them. Although he didn't want to believe that Hong Silk's death was related to the original owner of this body, the facts were in front of him, not only Yi Chenjing didn't believe her, but even Bai Qige herself began to suspect that Hong Silk drowned and died of another hidden reason - Bai Qige herself concealed too many facts, including the scars on Hong Silk's body and the reason why the Zhaoguo Manchu Dynasty was serious about this matter, these could not be verified clearly, and her charges could not be cleared.

Since ancient times, there have been many royal rights and wrongs, and Bai Qige did not hope that the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan could help her, but she was also very disgusted by Yi Chenjing's statement.

It stands to reason that when she first arrived, Yi Chenxuan, who she never knew, could not hide her evil intentions, she simply cared about it, but she was so suspicious of Yi Chenjing, she was really innocent.

Unconsciously, that clean and gentle face broke into his mind, and his words and deeds were deeply imprinted in Bai Qige's memory. Yi Chenxuan's gentle care in the snow made Bai Qige feel strange for a man for the first time, which was something that Yi Chenjing or other men could not give, and held up a clear sky for Bai Qige in the fate of the hardship of substitution, even if the lightning and thunder everywhere outside wanted to crush and tear her, it was still quiet here.

Only snuggling in his arms is the most reassuring at that moment.

"Your Royal Highness, please ask Princess Qi'an to come to the wing, the guests have arrived, and please ask Princess Qi'an to hurry up." There was a disrespectful message from the maid outside the door, Bai Qige answered lightly, and sat down in front of the dresser to tidy up the cloud sideburns without hurry.

God gave her a new life, but she took away her appearance, and a hideous scar on her left cheek made her already unattractive face even uglier. Simply applied rice to cover a few bruises, and Bai Qige smiled indifferently at himself in the bronze mirror.

Facing the enemy with a smile is the heaviest blow to the enemy.

calmly followed the maid to the side room, and the cold figure in the room was sitting on the couch drinking tea, and did not raise his head when he heard the footsteps. The maid retreated, and Bai Qige stood in the center, looking at Yi Chenjing fixedly: "Who do you want me to see?" ”

"What's the hurry, I'll let you see it." The two little finches on the branches outside the window that attracted the attention of the Seven Princes of Yaoguo flew away, and as the field of vision became empty, Yi Chenjing finally turned his head to look at the thin woman standing in the center, "Speaking of which, you should be grateful to this person, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't have been able to marry into Yaoguo instead of Hongxuan." ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of orderly footsteps came from behind him, and there was a collision of iron armor, and the loud voice was extremely respectful: "The last general, Yun Zhongjin, knocked on the Seventh Prince." ”

For a moment, the deliberately maintained smile froze on Bai Qige's face.

Clouds, bells, Jin.

This name couldn't be more familiar, when he was in the prison of Zhaoguo, Bai Qige hated this name the most.

"Why, don't you look back?" Yi Chenjing sneered, his slender fingers supported the corners of his forehead, and tilted his head slightly, "You can steal the defense map for General Yun, but now you don't even have the courage to meet him?" With such a weak heart, dare to say that you don't know anything? ”

The palm hidden in the sleeve was clenched into a fist, the nails were deeply clasped in the flesh, and Bai Qige, who kept his sanity by sharp pain, bit his lip and didn't say a word for a long time.

Yun Zhongjin, the young deputy general under Bai Haocheng, and Bai Qige's fiancé.

He also has another even more criticized identity - the traitor who instigated Bai Qige to steal the defense map and then transfer it to Yi Chenjing, the leading general of the enemy country.

No wonder Yi Chenjing is so sure that she killed Hong Silk, and no wonder Bai Qige herself would steal the defense map and betray Zhao Guo without warning, if you link Yun Zhongjin with Yi Chenjing and Hong Silk's drowning, everything will make sense.

Assuming that Hong Xuan's death is really inseparable from Bai Qige himself, then Yun Zhongjin should be the one who knows the inside story, and it is because of this that he has the capital to threaten Bai Qige to steal the Zhaoguo border defense map from his second brother Bai Haocheng, and at the same time gain Yi Chenjing's trust as an enemy general.

Listening to Yun Zhongjin's self-proclaimed general, it can be speculated that the young deputy general who betrayed the motherland and defected to the enemy has now become a general of the distant country, and it is very appropriate to put the four words of betraying the country and seeking glory on him, how can such "ability" not take a look?

Bai Qige turned around and lowered his head, and Yun Zhongjin, who was kneeling on the ground respectfully, raised his head when he heard the sound, his eyes happened to collide with his mutilated face, and he immediately subconsciously turned his head to look aside.

Obviously, Yun Zhongjin, who is her fiancé, is dodging.

There was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of Bai Qige's mouth.

I have to admit that Yun Zhongjin is a very seductive man, with a sturdy body, thick eyebrows and starry eyes, radiant and elegant, such an appearance with an ordinary and cowardly posture The third miss of the Bai family is a pity. It seems that becoming the quasi-son-in-law of the Bai family is not wishful thinking, but a conspiracy, if it weren't for Bai Qige's own self-appreciation, thinking that he was worthy of Yun Zhongjin, then he was forced to agree to get married.

Jin Xu was ruined, Bai Qige wanted to scold a few words of beasts, however, as Captain An Xunxi, who died for the country, she was qualified to scold like this, as the third lady of the Bai family who also betrayed Zhaoguo, her behavior was even more despicable than Yun Zhongjin, and she was not qualified to blame her at all.

"What do you know about Red Silk? Did you see me kill her? Seeing that Yun Zhongjin nodded without hesitation, Bai Qige couldn't wait to slap it over, "Okay, tell me what you saw!" ”

Yun Zhongjin looked at Yi Chenjing hesitantly, and only after the latter nodded in agreement did he speak: "I wanted to go to the river to relax that day, but I didn't expect to see two strange men who were violently attacking Princess Hongxuan, and the third lady stood by and watched, without the slightest intention of helping. Afterward...... Later, the two men threw Princess Hongfei into the river, and it took half an hour for the third lady to leave, and after a while, they brought someone over to say that Princess Hongfei had drowned. At that time, I was just a small capital, powerless and powerless, and I was afraid that if I told the truth, I would be wiped out by the Bai family, and I didn't dare to bring up the old matter again until I took refuge in the Seventh Prince. ”

In other words, Hongxuan was not killed by Bai Qige himself, but it is very likely that he instructed others to do it.

Yi Chenjing was not as excited as before, but the chill did not decrease by half a point: "You have heard it with your own ears, Bai Qige, what else do you want to quibble?" ”

"I said I can't remember anything before, and I can't say for sure whether I killed someone or not, but I still have a few questions I want to ask him."

Bai Qige puffed up his chest without fear, and turned to Yun Zhongjin coldly: "First, since you know that I have something to do with Princess Hongxuan's death, why do you take the initiative to propose marriage instead of telling King Zhao later?" No matter how powerful the Bai family is, it can't be as big as King Zhao, what is your purpose to pursue a talentless and good-looking woman who is suspected of murder, and strive for the position of son-in-law of the Bai family? Second, as a commander in the army, why didn't you stand up and let the villains do anything when you saw the princess being violent? Two men scared you? Third, why treason to the enemy? It was the Zhaoguo people who gave birth to you, raised you, and educated you, but you led troops into the customs to destroy my Zhaoguo, Yun Zhongjin, has your conscience been eaten by dogs? ! ”

Sharply reprimanded Ling Yun Zhongjin couldn't raise his head, and a few words of defense also seemed weak: "I, I just want to use the identity of the son-in-law of the Bai family to mix up an official and a half-position, so I concealed the facts and used this as an exchange condition to come to the defense map." Besides, it's you who hurt people, and it's you who steals the defense map, if you want to say that you're sinister, you're more ruthless than me, aren't you? ”

"Enough!" The palm of his hand slammed on the table with a loud noise, Yun Zhongjin was frightened, hurriedly closed his mouth and buried his head deeply, and secretly looked at the man in the seat out of the corner of his eye. Yi Chenjing interrupted the dispute between the two angrily, and his cold gaze fell on Bai Qige: "No matter how you deny it, I have my own sense of proportion in my heart as the truth is." ”

"Proportion? I'm afraid that there is no one in the world who is more confused than you. ”

Yi Chenjing raised his eyebrows, and a thin figure with his head slightly raised was reflected in his ink-colored eyes, stubborn and unwilling to retreat.

Xiao Yingge, who once held back in her heart no matter what grievances she had suffered, has changed, just like Hongxuan hoped, she has become strong and dares to raise her head to face reality.

It's a pity that the red silk can no longer be seen.

The short-term distraction was quickly covered up, Yi Chenjing regained his indifference, and waved his hand: "Come on, take Princess Qi'an back to the room." General Yun also go down, I have worked hard today, and I hope that General Yun can live up to the trust, use all his skills, and make great contributions to my Dayao. ”

"The last general doesn't dare to be, don't dare to be a ......" tremblingly got up, Yun Zhongjin was tall and tall, but he looked extremely humble, and he passed by Bai Qige, deliberately lowered his head and did not want to see each other.

The maid who led the way before carefully pulled Bai Qige's sleeve, Bai Qige stood in place and stared at Yi Chenjing for a long time, then turned around and left without saying a word.

At this point, if Yi Chenjing is really a person who is carried away by reason, it is useless to say more.

The empty wing room fell into a deserted silence, a few thunders rumbled outside the window, and a moment later the beads of the broken thread of the bean rain dropped one after another, and the whole courtyard was shrouded in the rain curtain and blurred and hazy.

Yi Chenjing looked at the puddle outside the door, until another lightning bolt pierced the sky, the wind swept through, and the thick poplar leaves beside the porch squirmed for a while, and Qingjun's face had a trace of expression.

Silently, a deep smile that captures everything in my heart.

"Your Highness." A person walked in from the rain-soaked door, dressed neatly and with a shrewd and cautious gaze, "He's gone." ”

"It's raining so hard that he has been hiding outside for a long time." With a shallow smile like jade, the seven princes of Yaoguo at this moment swept away their faces and were depressed, and the light flashed in their eyes.

The visitor glanced thoughtfully at the courtyard, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness has long suspected that what Yun Zhongjin said is untrue, why do you want to be so harsh on Princess Qi'an?" Concubine Jing went to the queen in private yesterday, as if she wanted to persuade the emperor to marry as soon as possible through the queen's mouth, I think this marriage can't be avoided. ”

"What if you can hide and can't hide? I also thought that she was wronged, but when I went to Zhaoguo to see her, I realized that things were more terrible than I imagined. Taking a deep breath, as if thinking of some extremely painful scene, Yi Chenjing frowned.

Some things are involuntary in the body, and in the same way, the mind is involuntary.

"She can only be a chess piece in this turmoil, if she can't survive the mercy of others and dies as a result, she can only be regarded as deserving."
