The mellow aroma of Dihuazhuang is quite famous, Bai Qige and Ning Xi are drunk, smelling the intoxicating aroma of the ubiquitous and wisps of wine that penetrate into the nose, even the most sumptuous meals are difficult to swallow.

Originally, Di Tianhong had prepared two jars of aged wine on the dinner table, and waited for a few people to drink it after the table, but because of more than a dozen large and small wounds on Bai Qige's body, Yi Chenjing said that she was not allowed to drink anything, and would rather be drunk and carry forward the spirit of sacrificing her life to accompany the gentleman. After a meal of delicacies and fish, the two of them barely survived until the banquet was broken up like chewing wax, especially rather drunk, and looked listless at a glance, which shows the great addiction to alcohol.

After eating, it was getting late, Di Tianhong instructed his subordinates to boil hot water for a few people to bathe, Bai Qige was really tired, and after discussion, several people decided to rest in Dihuazhuang for one night before continuing to hurry.

In the gorgeously furnished but slightly vulgar room, the faint fragrance of flowers lingered, Bai Qige sat in the bathtub for a long time without moving, and there was a layer of fragrant petals floating on the clear water over her shoulders, which just covered the underwater scenery.

It's a pity, Yi Chenjing sighed secretly.

"Did your eyeballs fall into the water? Do you want me to help you fish it out and stuff it back? Bai Qige glared at Yi Chenjing, who was leaning against the screen with his shoulders on his shoulders, and his teeth were eager to bite his unscrupulous gaze.

Originally, she soaked well, and she was comfortable and comfortable in the water, but Yi Chenjing used the excuse of helping her fill the hot water and then stood aside and stared openly, Bai Qige waited left and right, and he didn't see him avoiding, so he suddenly realized how sinister and cunning his mind was.

"Wash it and come out, soak it for a while and melt it in." Yi Chenjing finally made a move, shook off the wide cloth towel and came to the wooden barrel, looking like a good person wanted to help Bai Qige dry the water stains on his body. Seeing Bai Qige come over with two rolled eyes and sit stubbornly in the bucket, Yi Chenjing showed a smile that was by no means kind: "Are you still afraid of me watching?" The pride of women who are not afraid of heaven and earth. I thought you were so open and generous that you didn't even care about being hugged by other men, but it turned out to be a paper tiger, and you only pretend to deceive people. ”

Turning left and right and returning to Ning Xi's drunken hugging her, Bai Qige was somewhat unreasonable, and stood up from the bucket silently, and it was a good performance to compensate Yi Chenjing for his big heart.

Carefully and carefully avoiding the wound and drying the water stains, Yi Chenjing picked up Bai Qige horizontally through the cloth towel, and returned to the inner room to put the couch lightly around the screen.

"I'll go change the water, and then I'll help you wipe the medicine after cleaning, lie down honestly, and don't peek." grabbed the new middle coat and threw it to Bai Qige, Yi Chenjing was full of serious vigilance.

Bai Qige also wanted to say something to anger him, but after thinking about it for a long time with her mouth open, she couldn't say half a sentence, on weekdays, she could pierce him bloody with a nail by a sentence, but she didn't have a way to treat him when she was almost ambiguous, compared to her face, she felt that she was far less powerful than Yi Chenjing.

Dressed in a middle coat and wrapped in a quilt, there was the sound of rushing water behind the screen, and I looked quietly through the door, the figure behind the screen was faint, and occasionally I could see the long arm waving.

The arm was covered with scars, which Bai Qige had seen with his own eyes.

Yi Chenjing is no better than other princes since he was a child, he has experienced too much, with the ups and downs of the political situation at a young age, the sins of suffering when he was a proton in Zhaoguo are unimaginable to other princes, those old and new, deep and shallow scars are proof. Perhaps it is precisely because he has more experience and thoughts than others that his heart and eyes always have to see farther and broader than ordinary people, and thus he has a contradictory and paranoid character, and the consequence of the combination of the two is his attachment to the throne.

In the history books, most of the usurpers who seek power are wolf ambitions, those who covet glory and rebel, and those who love power and kill monarchs, Bai Qige usually scoffs at these people, but she does not object to Yi Chenjing's idea of seeking the throne, perhaps because she understands his past and understands his purpose better, just to no longer be bound by others, or perhaps, because it is him, so he can only help.

She can't afford the general trend of the world, and she doesn't want to bear it, it's enough to see Yi Chenjing's wish fulfilled.

Be selfish, so what's the matter.

"What are you thinking about?" His cheeks were cold, and when he raised his eyebrows, he saw that his clean and handsome face was looking down.

"I wonder if I want to learn cooking skills in the future and specialize in sweet and sour cuisine." Lifting the corner of the quilt to signal Yi Chenjing to get in, Bai Qige picked up his middle coat and piled it in his arms, and raised his two eyebrows high, "Don't walk around on the ground naked, your shame." What about your cheeks. ”

"Get used to it, it's not like you haven't seen it when you were a child." Yi Chenjing replied lightly.

Taking the initiative to avoid the topic of having no memory at all, Bai Qige retracted into the quilt and leaned towards the warm body beside him, and before he could touch a single hair, Yi Chenjing suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up.

"Lie down and rub the medicine."

It was rare to lean over and lie down obediently, Bai Qige let Yi Chenjing lift his middle coat and gently apply the wound medicine, and the skin exposed to the air sent wisps of coolness, which actually dispersed the sleepiness that had just surged.

"Actually, I also doubt that the person who took the hidden person away in Yonghe Buzhuang that night was an old-timer, but we have no evidence, and Ning Gongzi is not a person with hidden intentions."

Yi Chenjing's palm rubbing the medicine was stunned, and then returned to normal: "I don't believe in him as much as you do." The physical characteristics of the old man surnamed Feng are exactly the same as those of the Xia An clan, and the Xia An clan is perishing at the hands of his father, even if there is a slight difference in hair color between Ning Xi drunk and the Xia An clan, I still can't treat him as a friend. ”

Bai Qige sighed silently.

The heart of defense is indispensable, she and Ning Xidrunk are only credible when they are speculative, but Ning Xidrunk and Yi Chenjing do not have much contact, and it is common to distrust, how can you blame him for being too suspicious. One is a loved one, and the other is a close confidant, so she has to mediate the relationship between the two.

Although Bai Qige's wounds are many, they are not too serious, most of them are extremely shallow, and the most serious one is a knife wound on the right forearm, which can be simply rubbed with some medicine. Yi Chenjing collected the medicine and carefully tucked the corners of the quilt, and her thoughtfulness made Bai Qige ashamed of herself, in many things, she was not as meticulous as Yi Chenjing.

Before the oil lamp was extinguished, Yi Chenjing quietly watched Bai Qige's thinning face ponder for a long time, and suddenly said, "Qige, what do you think of Fu Chu." ”

"Young and old, thoughtful, and long-term vision than ordinary people, he is indeed a rare wise man. Just ......"

"Just what."

Taking a deep breath, Bai Qige frowned slightly: "He and Miss Ye are from the rivers and lakes, but they haven't had much contact with the world, such as today's ambush, the two of them seem to be frightened." I'm afraid that they won't be able to bear it in the face of more dangers in the future, and they will eventually abandon you. ”

Fu Chu was temporarily loaned to Yi Chenjing by the poison doctor, and the young man was adopted by the poison doctor when he was still an infant, and the books he read since he was a child are all kinds of medical skills and the book "Remote Strategy" left by the former national teacher Shen Junfang, and he has outstanding ideas in planning and planning and surveying national policies. Although Yi Chenjing is very sorry for outsiders, he is even more eager for Fu Chu, and the only thing he worries about is Fu Chu's going to stay after the turmoil ends. Originally, he wanted to win over Ye Huawan and let Fu Chuchang stay by his side, but looking at it today, Ye Huawan obviously couldn't accept the life of him and Bai Qige who were always in a conspiracy and plot.

"There's a saying you may not want to hear, but if you think about it, you should always speak up." Bai Qige looked at Yi Chenjing, his eyes reflected the lights flickering and flickering, "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and so do civil and military officials." You have made countless contributions in the past few years since you returned to Yaoguo, but it is still Yi Chenxuan who is full of praise from the ministers, have you ever thought about why. ”

Yi Chenjing groaned for a while, and said in a low voice: "Go on, I'm listening." ”

Bai Qige nodded: "It's good that you can listen to it, in my opinion, the reason is very simple, you and Yi Chenxuan seem to be the emperor's right-hand men, and their status should be about the same, but he knows how to behave better than you, so he is higher than you in terms of connections." Are you afraid that too much limelight will cause trouble, but you have never thought about what the consequences will be if you hide your edge and keep your head in obscurity for a long time? Those ministers are not stupid, no matter whether the crown prince of the eldest prince can be kept in the future, it is not wrong to befriend the most powerful prince, what reason do they have not to choose Yi Chenxuan, who is loved by the emperor and exquisite, but to choose you who is unknown and pretends to be rude. ”

It is an indisputable fact that Yi Chenxuan and Zuo Cheng are equal to powerful ministers, and Yi Chenjing regards it as the biggest obstacle from this, but he never thought that such a gap was caused by the different performances of the two. Before, he had been hastily thinking that the reason why Yi Chenxuan was sought after by more ministers was because of the favor of Emperor Yao, but now after listening to Bai Qige's analysis that hit the point, he suddenly realized that his forbearance was a double-edged sword, with advantages and disadvantages, and he also lost a lot of what he gained.

Closing his eyes and hugging Bai Qige deep into his arms, Yi Chenjing let out a long breath: "White girl, your eyes are so poisonous, will you be my military advisor in the future." ”

"It depends on how much you get paid." Bai Qige raised his eyes and smiled, and then smiled again, "Talk about business, don't always joke." Fu Chu is a usable talent, if he is willing to help you sincerely, then he and the battle court will become your civil and military arms. Although it is a bit hard to escape this way, you still have to think about how to keep him, but don't make up your mind about Miss Ye, that girl's mind is tied to you, and it is really difficult to predict whether she can tie the knot with Fu Chu in the future. ”

In the last half of the sentence, Yi Chenjing's left ear went in and out of his right ear, he didn't intend to take it to heart at all, he raised Bai Qige's cheeks slightly with a staring face, and his eyes met with endless confusion: "Then what should I do." also learn from Yi Chenxuan's hypocrisy. He's been wearing a mask for so many years, it's unrealistic to snatch power from his hands, and I don't like that. ”

"Who wants you to learn from him?" Bai Qige asked rhetorically, her thin lip line provoked a confident smile, "Even if you start to make friends and win contacts everywhere, those weak chicken ministers who are like grass on the wall have long been bought by Yi Chenxuan and will not self-destruct the future, and those who are upright will not buy Yi Chenxuan's account, and they will not buy your account." You are too limited to these two choices in this matter, in fact, you can take the third way," the thin white fingertips tapped his warm chest, word by word, and his smile became brighter: "Compare hearts to hearts, exchange hearts for hearts, be loyal and sincere, attack him with a false heart and an open heart." ”

In this way, what Yi Chenxuan has is just the grass that falls down with the wind, and what Yi Chenjing has is a solid foundation that is difficult to shake.

The light flickered and there was nothing for a while, and the bright yellow light hit Yi Chenjing's side face, making it more and more angular. is this handsome but often indifferent face, revealing a watery gentleness, bewildering.

"If you win, you will win the world."
