Chapter 055: Burning the Heart and Destroying the Promise

Far away from the remote hall, Bai Qige closed his eyes and let out a long breath, and his nervousness was finally able to relax. [No pop-ups. 】

It was too dangerous just now, if it wasn't for the rush to deceive Yi Chenxuan, I am afraid that tonight she will become one of the unjust souls who mysteriously disappeared in the palace of this remote country, and there is nowhere to find her bones.

Bai Qige didn't tell anyone when she came, she was used to walking alone, and she didn't expect Yi Chenxuan to intercept here, let alone that he would expose his true nature and show her sharp fangs so soon, the man who gave her a ray of light in the darkness and loneliness could never be found back, and from then on she could only rely on herself...... Or, is there Yi Chenjing?

The three-day limit is not long, and it is not short, Bai Qige plans to settle Mrs. Qi first before thinking about it, now she has too many irrelevant trivial matters in her mind, and she can't calm down to think about the relationship with Yi Chenjing.

Jin Zhaoyi was once greatly favored by Emperor Yao, and the Diecuiju lived in was much bigger than that of Jichen Xuan, but there was no one walking around on weekdays, and it was inevitable that she would be lonely when she lived alone, and it was rare for Bai Qige to come to the door, Jin Zhaoyi was already very familiar with her, and she was even closer to the matter of the bag, so she had to stay for one night before leaving. Bai Qige still had some scruples about Yi Chenxuan, worried that there would be another accident on the way back to Jichenxuan alone, so he simply promised Jin Zhaoyi to go back the next day.

Talking all night long, Jin Zhaoyi kept talking and fell in love with the prince Yi Chenyu, and it dragged on until noon the next day, Bai Qige didn't want to have a long night and dreams, so Jin Zhaoyi went to the queen to tell Mrs. Qi about it, and he called a palace maid from Diecuiju to accompany him, and hurried back to the dust Xuan.

Yu Che saw that Bai Qige had not returned all night until dawn, and his eyes were almost unable to open, Bai Qige pushed the sleepy-eyed personal maid back to the room to rest, and personally served Mrs. Qi for lunch before returning to Huixi Residence, and when he entered the door, he found that someone was sitting in the hall one step ahead of him.

"Where did you go all night?" Yi Chenjing held the teacup with an expressionless face.

"Naturally, I'm going to find Jin Zhaoyi, and I have nowhere else to go." Bai Qige was quite puzzled by his sudden and cold attitude, but there were too many things to be busy with, and he really didn't have the leisure time to pay attention to what he was happy and angry about every day. Tired and pushed open the bedroom door, Bai Qige told the truth about the result of the discussion with Jin Zhaoyi: "Tomorrow I will send Mrs. Qi to Diecuiju, Jin Zhaoyi will leave her on the grounds that the humidity of the remote hall is not conducive to raising the fetus, with Jin Zhaoyi guarding, I think it is impossible for the fifth prince to hurt Mrs. Qi again." ”

Seeing that Yi Chenjing was silent in response, Bai Qige stopped talking, and his eyes inadvertently swept over the bedroom, and his heart stopped suddenly, and his heart stopped for a moment.

Stacks of rice paper were scattered in a mess, some with completed designs, some from discarded ordnance sketches, and a few empty envelopes pressed underneath. Looking at the paper scattered on the ground, there were only a few sporadic flames left in the brazier under the makeup, and a few pieces of ash inside were square, apparently formed by the burning of the folded paper.

The stack of papers has been kept in the drawer, carefully preserved with the family letters written by Bai Haocheng, every page is the condensation of painstaking meditation, and every letter and word is a deep thought thousands of miles away, which is the most precious thing for Bai Qige in this cold room.

After a canopy of flames, the drawings were still there, the family letters were gone, and only ashes remained.

His eyes were dry and painful, his hands couldn't stop shaking, Bai Qige slowly walked to the brazier, his clothes rolled up in the breeze to blow the ashes away, and pieces fluttered and shattered.

Nothing is gone, read it thousands of times, countless times to give her the last sustenance to struggle desperately in the dark. It's just a trip, she endures exhaustion and exhaustion to run around for him, in exchange for this is the result?!

Staggered out of the bedroom, Yi Chenjing was still sitting expressionless in the hall, staring at the intricate patterns on the teacup, but without the slightest sense of guilt.

The crisp cracking sound was abrupt and harsh in the quiet environment, and the teacup that had been held in his hand a moment ago turned into a piece of shards in an instant. Half-raised hands hung in the air, Yi Chenjing raised his eyebrows, the plain face in front of him was full of anger and pain, his dark eyes stared straight at him, and his chest rose and fell violently.

"Why?" Bai Qige's voice was low and hoarse, and every word required a lot of strength to spit out.

Yi Chenjing didn't answer, but took another teacup and filled it, his tone was so flat as if nothing had happened: "You stayed in the dust pavilion during the Northern Expedition, what to do and what not to do Su Yan will teach you, and you don't need to write a reply to the Bai family, from now on, you will have no possibility of contacting anyone in the Bai family." ”

Bai Qige couldn't believe his ears, yesterday, yesterday he still whispered that he wanted to give her freedom, asked her if she would stay by her side, she thought that all the suffering had passed, but she didn't want to mutate again overnight, he turned back into a ruthless general who destroyed the country, and turned back into an avenger who hated her and did everything possible to make her miserable.

Are you playing with her, making fun of watching her fall to the bottom in an instant with hope?

Could it be that the man who held her hand and blamed himself for recalling his past sins was also fake, and like Yi Chenxuan, he was wearing a mask to deceive her?

Impossible, obviously his eyes were pure and real at that time, how could it be another scam?!

"You said it yourself, you will let go of the Bai family, the eldest husband has made a promise, and you want to regret it?"

"What about breaking promises?" Hearing Bai Qige's strong anger, Yi Chenjing couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, so he could only avoid the deeply injured eyes and look away to continue to remain calm, "You broke your promise first, no wonder me." I have to be glad that you pretended not to answer me yesterday, otherwise I would have made a big mistake. ”

"I broke my promise? What did I promise you not do? I gave you the weapons you wanted, the topographic map you wanted, you wanted me to stay away from Yi Chenxuan, I also did it, I lay in the snow all night for you, what else do you want me to do?! ”

"Then why did you lie to me, why did you secretly go to see Yun Zhongjin behind my back?!" Facing the unprecedentedly excited Bai Qige, Yi Chenjing finally couldn't help but be full of anger, and blurted out the questions in his heart.

For a moment, the two of them were speechless, and the air seemed to freeze, dead silent.

Before dawn, the battle court, who had been busy all night, returned to the study with the answer, hesitated for a long time before he reluctantly spoke, and the information he found was the guess that Yi Chenjing was most reluctant to confirm - the day Bai Qige secretly left the palace was the day Yun Zhongjin was attacked, and according to the palace gate guards, Bai Qige and Yuche left on foot and returned on horseback, and the horse was exactly the same as the description of the soldiers in the school military field.

Isn't the result obvious enough, Bai Qige went to Yun Zhongjin behind his back for some purpose and had an argument, and the person who saved her was Yi Chenxuan's subordinate, and when he asked if there was an eyebrow in Hong Xuan's death, she chose to deceive.

kept asking to believe her, and she, all the time, lied to him.

I don't know how long it took, but a sigh of exhaustion resounded in the room.

"I choose to believe you again and again, and I have been deceived again and again, I have had enough, Bai Qige." Touching his pale cheeks without emotion, Yi Chenjing stood in front of Bai Qige, his head lowered, his eyes gloomy, "I thought you had changed, maybe you wouldn't lie to me anymore, so I told myself to believe you for the last time, have you ever thought about how unfair this is to Hongxuan?" But I did it anyway because it was you. Do you know, if you are honest with each other, then even if Hongxuan's death is really related to you, I will still give up revenge and let you and the Bai family go. ”

Compared to the sin of killing Hongxuan, he couldn't bear Bai Qige's deception, which would make him lose another important person in his life after Hongxuan.

No, don't worry about it now, because it's already lost.

Yi Chenjing's words were tantamount to thunder on the ground, Bai Qige stood stunned in place, his mind was in chaos, like questioning and muttering: "You forced me...... If you had spoken out earlier......"

"No ifs, it's over, the agreement between us." After that excited questioning, Yi Chenjing was terribly calm, with no cold eyes or hatred expression, but it was the coldness that made Bai Qige lose all his strength, as if he had lost his soul and heart.

Everything she did was to save the Bai family in danger, deceiving him and hiding it from him were all things she didn't want to do but had to do, because she was afraid, afraid that he would attack the Bai family after knowing the truth, and afraid that he would hurt her most important relative. Why didn't he tell her earlier, that he didn't care if she was the culprit or not, and that she wouldn't hide it!

Yi Chenjing would never know how much pain she had in her arms to lie to him.

"I'm willing toβ€”you don't need this answer anymore, do you?" With a bitter smile, Bai Qige didn't know if Yi Chenjing heard it, and he didn't know if he understood the meaning of these three words, he was more decisive than her, he was more straightforward than her, so his voice was louder than hers, completely annihilating her weak answer.

"If you want the Bai family to be safe, you have to be a chess piece, and you are nothing else."

Bai Qige understood the meaning of this sentence, and from now on, he would break off his righteousness.

The sound of the two people arguing alarmed Yu Che, who was resting in the room, and ran out of the room in a panic to see Yi Chenjing's back leaving, and walked into the hall with a confused face, and what he saw in front of him frightened Yu Che screamed in shock.

"Miss! What are you doing! ”

The edges of the teacup fragments all over the floor were sharp, Bai Qige knelt in front of the bedroom door, the palm of the hand supporting the ground was cut by the fragments, and large drops of blood spilled over the threshold, stretching out to the brazier under the dresser with difficulty. It is common for Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige to quarrel and argue, but it is the first time that Bai Qige has lost his soul so much, Yu Che hurriedly grabbed the hand dripping with blood and pressed the wound with a sweat towel, followed Bai Qige's dull gaze, and when he saw what was in the brazier, he let out a low cry and covered his mouth in disbelief.

How many times I saw her holding the family letters with a clean smile, how many times I saw her repeatedly reading the letters and falling asleep, what those family letters meant to Bai Qige, Yu Che knew better than anyone else.

That is the only comfort for them who are far away from the fence of a foreign country!

"No...... It won't burn out, there must still be ...... And ......" two hands rummaged wildly through the ashes, and all they got was a piece of black, nothing but despair. The residual temperature of the brazier was very high, but Yu Che didn't feel the heat, only felt that his heart and hands were cold, and clear tears hit the ground, mixed with Bai Qige's blood.

None more, never again.

Bai Qige wanted to stop Yu Che's meaningless move, but the raised hand fell softly, his eyes went black, and he lost all consciousness.
