"Okay, we'll talk about that later." Unaware of Bai Qige's momentary distraction, Yi Chenjing sat on the edge of the bed with a frown, his deep gaze on the raging charcoal fire, "You found the purse from the apse last night?" The concubine who had an affair with the prince was Jin Zhaoyi? ”

Bai Qige retracted his thoughts and took a deep breath: "Yes." ”

At the beginning, Yi Chenjing asked her to go to the apse to find out who the concubine was who she was fornicating with the prince, but Bai Qige was not happy.

When it comes to the people in the palace who treat her gently, Concubine Jing should be ranked first, followed by Su Yan, and then Jin Zhaoyi and Jiang Jintuan. has her younger brother's fiancée Chang Siyi in the middle, Jin Zhaoyi treats her can be said to be doubly caring, like yesterday's banquet she would not have been able to go, if it wasn't for Jin Zhaoyi thinking about her and wanting to help her elevate her status, there would be no opportunity to be invited to go together.

How could someone who did everything to take care of her be destroyed with his own hands?

Bai Qige knows very well what kind of felony it is to have an affair with the prince, once the matter is exposed, Jin Zhaoyi will not only lose her life, but may also affect the entire Jiang family, not to mention her reputation.

"Can you give up on this?" Bai Qige suddenly spoke, although it was a question, but his tone was non-negotiable, "Now there is no evidence to prove that the concubine who fornicated is Jin Zhaoyi, and if it is witnessed, I will definitely not come forward." As long as you are willing to give up, I am willing to make up for your losses in other ways, whether it is the crown prince or the crown princess or the prime minister Zuo, there are always other mistakes. ”

"Even if you don't say it, I'll give up." Yi Chenjing replied nonchalantly, "Jin Zhaoyi is kind to Su Yan, and she is one of the people who is very respectful to her mother, if you want to overthrow the prince, it is not enough to justify the crime of fornication, it is not worth it to harm her for the sake of this little fur." ”

"I forgot about the relationship between Jin Zhaoyi and Sister Su Yan." Bai Qige laughed bitterly at herself, and a trace of strangeness flashed in her heart.

The two Su Yan and Su Rao sisters have been in the dust for more than a year, but they have never been married to Yi Chenjing, the source is Yi Chenjing's single-minded loyalty to Hongxuan, originally Bai Qige thought that he didn't care about the two sisters, but judging from many things he has experienced recently, he actually cares about them very much, in a way that only belongs to him and only belongs to Yi Chenjing.

"Sometimes I feel that you are not a serious sin."

The sudden words made Yi Chenjing stunned, and he turned his head sideways as if he was very surprised: "In your eyes before, I was a great crime?" ”

"No evil, no shameless." Bai Qige nodded in affirmation.

Isn't it bad enough for a man who can ruthlessly ruin the appearance of a woman he knows, a man who can take away a woman's most precious thing with a blank face, and a man who can use his wife in a position to make a profit step by step?

But for some reason, just like when facing Yi Chenxuan, Bai Qige couldn't find the motivation to hate him anymore.

Sitting in relative silence for a long time, Yi Chenjing gave up the inexplicable conversation and fell into contemplation again, the things he asked were not far from the turmoil of last night, and he didn't mention Bai Qige's physical condition, which made Bai Qige's image of the micro end that he had finally erected in his heart collapsed - probably he has become accustomed to doing something grateful in exchange for trust, the country is easy to change, not to mention that he still has the death of Hongxuan on his back, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to get him to treat him sincerely.

"In short, the current situation is becoming more and more chaotic, and the prince's side seems to be unwilling to be calm, you are not familiar with the situation in the palace, don't walk around casually when you are fine, so as not to fall into the trap again." Yi Chenjing carefully tucked the corners of the quilt, glanced at Bai Qige, who was not energetic, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll sleep here tonight." ”

Bai Qige was stunned.

"There's no need to be so obedient, I'll tell Concubine Jing that I'm not feeling well."

"What does it have to do with my mother?" Yi Chenjing smiled dumbly, "Don't worry, I just want to ask you about last night's events and drawings at night, and I don't have anything else to think about." You rest first, and I'm going to go to the Imperial Study. ”

After Yi Chenjing left, Bai Qige called Yu Che into the house, and the stubborn and hard personal maid was angry and drank several cups of tea in a row.

"No matter how much water you drink, you can't drown yourself, so you might as well hit the wall." Bai Qige glanced at it lightly, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

"I know the amount of alcohol Miss, I haven't seen you drunk when I'm so old, and I can't fool others if I can't fool me. Don't look at him standing outside all night, I still don't feel happy in my heart, I owe him 800 yuan every day with a calm face, why is it that I suddenly became kind today? It's a matter of him forcing you to do something bad, so you're so courteous for fear of being known. ”

"Ghosts and ghosts, that is, their brains do not go to the right path." Bai Qige beckoned, Yu Che obediently sat on the side of the bed, listened carefully to make sure that there was no one outside, Bai Qige continued to whisper, "Yu Che, you go and ask me a few people." First of all, Su Rao, then the crown princess and concubine, and ask the prince how his character is, remember to ask naturally, and don't make people suspicious. ”

Yu Che smiled proudly without dissatisfaction: "How can you still need Miss's orders?" I've already inquired about the rights and wrongs in this palace. Mrs. Su Rao seems to be young and cheerful, lively and innocent, but she is a proud master in her bones, and she is very scheming - His Royal Highness has lived in our Zhao Kingdom for ten years, and as Zhao Guo is used to calling Concubine Jing Niangniang Niang, Mrs. Su Yan is called Concubine Jing Niangniang according to the rules, but Mrs. Su Rao wants to please this closeness, and she also learns to call Her Royal Highness Niang Qin. And before...... In the previous incident of the five princes, the subordinates said that they saw that Mrs. Su Rao gave the maid a lot of gold and silver, and even a pair of jade earrings given to her by Jin Zhaoyi were also sent, which was coercion and temptation, and I thought that this was how the maid was forced to live up to the lady's entrustment. ”

The depth of scheming is not at age, compared with the virtuous and generous Su Yan, Su Rao is indeed much more mature and smarter. From the time when Yu Che asked him for help and was deliberately delayed, Bai Qige became wary of Su Rao, who was in the double eighth year, and after the whistleblowing incident, she was even more sure that Su Rao didn't want to see her stable.

Cause?

It has been common for wives and concubines to compete for favor since ancient times, not to mention that Yi Chenjing is a prince and has quite a charm.

The crown princess Wei Chi Lianrong and Concubine Jin have nothing to sigh about, just as Bai Qige saw yesterday, the two of them don't seem to have a holiday, but they have their own goals behind their backs, which is nothing more than the power struggle between the left prime minister and the right prime minister openly and secretly affecting the harem.

When talking about the prince, Yu Che hesitated slightly, and his words were not as simple as before: "The prince is talented and extraordinary, and he has extremely high attainments in poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he is lazy and never cares about the affairs of the court. Although the subordinates can't say that they support him, they are not bored, and only a little rumor is not too good. ”

"What rumors?" Bai Qige was interested, and her eyes became more and more focused.

"The prince seems to have a habit of breaking sleeves......"

whispering close to Bai Qige's ear, Yu Che said word by word very clearly, but the second half of the sentence made Bai Qige suddenly stunned and at a loss.

"It is said that the crown prince has been competing with the five princes for a male favorite named Su Jinyan, and both of them have Longyang preferences......"

"Impossible." Without hesitation, Bai Qige categorically denied it, and then helped Yu Che to laugh, "How can you believe anything, and you have to know how much it is a malicious rumor." The fifth prince already has Qi as a concubine, and he can be canonized as a princess after giving birth to a grandson in a few months. ”

Yu Che knew that Bai Qige had a good impression of the five princes, and he didn't defend it at the moment, he blinked mysteriously, and his ambiguous smile was full of ridicule: "Miss, the five princes treat you well, didn't you say that it was the five princes who stepped forward to stop the crown princess last night?" Putting aside His Royal Highness, Miss, do you have any intentions for the Five Princes? And Your Highness, he has been doing well lately, why do I always feel that Miss has changed her mind and doesn't dislike him as much as before? ”

This is the second person to doubt her feelings for Yi Chenxuan.

Bai Qige's smile suddenly dispersed, and there was a bitterness on the rest of her lips: "What kind of feelings are you talking about in a cage?" Yu Che, you are different from me, as long as you rely on someone who does not fall, you can live in peace, and I must protect the Bai family on the premise of survival, I can abandon everything for this purpose, including your so-called mind. ”

"Isn't Miss wronged?" Seeing Bai Qige's gloom, Yu Che also lowered his voice, and his eyes were a few sentimental.

After entering the palace, Bai Qige really got rid of the shadow of the past, and it was no longer the cowardly and dark third lady of the Bai family, comparing her heart to her heart, who was good to whom, and everyone was watching, Yu Che knew very well why she could not be bullied, yes, and she was getting closer and closer to Bai Qige, and at the same time, it was becoming more and more difficult for her to endure and give up everywhere.

"His Royal Highness is always cloudy, sometimes good and sometimes bad, if it weren't for the Bai family, Miss wouldn't need to make concessions to him in every way. Yu Che didn't know whether to say this or not, but it was too dull to hold in my heart - if Miss had the freedom to choose, I would rather watch Miss and the Five Princes fly together than be imprisoned in the rough insults of His Highness. ”

Bai Qige smiled lightly and lowered his head, looking at the thick cloak on his body: "You are still young, and you have too little experience and experience." You can't just look at the surface to know people, just like the five princes and the seven princes you see, do you dare to pat your chest and say that their conduct is no different from what you see? The fifth prince is gentle and elegant, but his scheming is more far-reaching than you and I can imagine, I rely on him and like the feeling of being around him, but I won't, at least not give myself to him for now. As for Yi Chenjing...... The truth of Princess Hong's matter is still unknown, I can understand that he has hatred and resentment, although I am also angry that he is vicious and cruel, and angry that he uses the Bai family to restrain me, every time I see him taking care of Sister Su Yan and being deeply affectionate to Princess Hongxuan, that resentment will also disperse. Now what I want most is to solve the puzzle, no matter what the truth is, I finally have an explanation for myself, Yi Chenjing, and the Bai family. ”

"Does Miss really care so much about Princess Hongxuan?" Yu Che stood up abruptly with excitement for a while, his uneasy expression was mixed with distress, he grabbed his cuffs and paced around the room a few times before suddenly stomping his feet, and when he turned to face Bai Qige, he was no longer impetuous, and his serious expression had never been seen before, "I can tell Miss everything I know, but I must not teach His Highness to know, otherwise, ...... Otherwise, Miss and I may really not be able to go back to Zhaoguo! ”
