"Father's order?" Yi Chenjing gasped, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "I'll go see my father now, you don't have to worry about this matter." ”

"This ......" the captain looked embarrassed, "The emperor's order cannot be violated, His Royal Highness the Prince, please don't embarrass the officials anymore, it is our dereliction of duty if the war guards don't bring them back, and the officials really can't afford this crime." ”

Zhan Ting is Yi Chenjing's henchman and friend who met him when he was a child, and Yi Chenjing knows that Emperor Yao has always had the idea of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots of Zhan Ting, once a person is captured, who knows how much torture he will suffer, and whether he will have his life to see each other again? Seeing that a group of imperial city guards refused to back down on Emperor Yao's order, Yi Chenjing was angry, his fists clenched, and his blue and white knuckles were abruptly disbursed.

"Your Highness," Zhan Ting grabbed Yi Chenjing and shook his head slightly, "I'll go with them." Anyway, I haven't done it, and no one can wronged me. ”

Zhan Ting's mind was simple, and he only thought about not wanting to implicate Yi Chenjing and the imperial city guards in conflict and disobey Emperor Yao, but he didn't think about the consequences of falling into the prison, and his eyes were so clean that people couldn't bear to look at them. Bai Qige knew what these two people were thinking, but the emperor's fate was like the sky, Yi Chenjing was the crown prince and still had to obey the orders of Emperor Yao, it was impossible to keep the court without angering Emperor Yao, and the most difficult thing to find in this world was the method of both worlds.

After a moment of hesitation, Bai Qige wrapped Yi Chenjing's clenched fist from behind him and clenched it slightly, leaning close to his ear and whispering: "Let the court go, I'll go over with these people to do something, you go to the emperor as soon as possible to explain the truth, even if you can't condemn the envoy of the rouhu, you can wash away the suspicion of the court - no matter what the emperor decides, don't argue against it." ”

What Bai Qige is most worried about is Yi Chenjing's impulsiveness, originally the relationship between these two fathers and sons was like walking on thin ice, if it was really because of the war court's tearing face, even if Emperor Yao would not do anything to Yi Chenjing, the bitter sin of the war court was inevitable. The only way to do this is to find out the truth and clear the court's innocence, and there is no other choice.

Listening to the calm breathing of the battle court behind him, the clenched fist slowly and weakly let go. Yi Chenjing raised his arm and waved, turned his head away from looking at the figure of the battle court being escorted away by the guards, and only stared at the ground with a cold gaze.

The person he loved, his father did not allow him to marry.

The father always wants to get rid of the people he believes.

Is he the only one left in this world, and only his father will be happy, and he will be forced to expel Yi Chenxuan out of anger? He wants to be treated fairly like other princes and Yi Chenxuan, is it so difficult?!

The silent Yi Chenjing made Bai Qige even more worried, but the battle court had to follow, looking back at Yi Chenjing's lonely figure step by step, until he couldn't see it anymore, he trotted to catch up with the palace guards who were hurrying away, and his thin body looked out of place behind a group of big men.

Perhaps it should be said that her existence is contrary to the laws of this era.

The sky is twilight, the moon is hanging high, and the coldness of the Huanqing Palace makes the cold winter night wind more and more unbridled, shouting and roaring in the empty courtyard. Behind the half-open window, a pair of eyes looked out of the courtyard, and then someone reached out and closed the window.

"Niangniang, it's getting late, Princess Qi'an probably won't come, Niangniang should turn off the lights and rest first." The female officer who had served for many years blew out the candles in the outer hall and replaced them with everlasting lamps, and the light in the hall dimmed a lot.

On weekdays, the queen has fallen asleep at this hour, and even if she doesn't sleep, it will make people turn off the candle and dim it, but today she is very dissatisfied with the female official's behavior of turning off the lights: "Light the lamp, why are you in a hurry before the people arrive?" ”

"It's almost time, even if Princess Qi'an has something, she won't come so late. It's freezing season, and the mother should beware of breaking her body......"

The queen leaned on the rattan chair and propped her forehead, frowned and looked at the hourglass on the table, as if to say to herself: "Is it already time?" Wait, wait, that girl will come. ”

The female official didn't know where the queen came from, and she was sure that Bai Qige would come to Huanqing Palace tonight, and she didn't dare to persuade the queen to be stubborn, so she had to light the candle and wait on the side, yawning for a while. This female official has served the queen for more than ten years, getting along with each other from morning to night every day, but she still can't figure out what kind of character the master is, but she is convinced that she is deaf and clear without leaving the house.

As if to confirm the trust of the female official, at three o'clock, there was a low knock on the door outside the Huanqing Palace, and after a while, Bai Qige walked into the palace under the guidance of the little palace maid and came to the queen.

"The evidence is conclusive, the emperor won't believe what the widow of the Zhan family says, even if you spend more money to make him stable for a while, there will be a day when he will be pulled out and beheaded." The queen didn't raise her head, leaned back in the chair with her eyes closed, and her straightforward words sounded a little confusing, which made the female official look confused and made Bai Qige's face heavy.

"The queen mother already knew that this would happen, so she sent someone to send those things to the Dust Xuan, right?" With less respect and more questioning tone, the coldness in Bai Qige's bones was revealed in front of the queen, "Figs, gourd cakes, peaches, there is no way to escape, there is no way to escape." I don't know if this road was sealed by the emperor or by the queen. ”

"Bengong has long said that you are a smart person, but your temper is too stubborn, and there is obviously a comfortable and comfortable road arranged for you, but you are unwilling to go." As if sighing with pity, the queen opened her eyes, and her shrewd eyes flowed.

Bai Qige took a deep breath, and the exhaustion of a night's running was forced, trying his best to stay calm.

After the battle court was taken away by the palace guards, she and Yi Chenjing acted separately, and ran left and right with the detained war court until the prison, and it was late at night after taking care of the guard cell head, and when she returned to the dust Xuan, she saw Yi Chenjing standing in the room with her hands in her hands, and knew that things were not so simple. Yi Chenjing simply said that the reason why Emperor Yao ordered the arrest of the war court was that the guard token left near the Hexiang Palace was actually the guard token left near the Hexiang Palace, and some people claimed that they had seen people who "looked like war guards" appear around the Hexiang Palace that night, so the war court was sent to the prison for trial.

Bai Qige originally planned to take advantage of the night and Yi Chenjing to go to the Yaohuang Palace to distinguish right from wrong, but at this time, the little eunuch belonging to the queen's palace sent three baskets of things, saying that it was the fruit and pastry that the queen gave Bai Qige, but it turned out to be filled with figs, gourd cakes and peaches.

There is no way to escape from the war court, and it is also her Bai Qige.

"I thought the assassin's matter was related to the Rouhu envoy, but I didn't expect the queen mother to be implicated, Qige didn't understand, is it in the queen's mother's heart, let me be the crown princess is actually more important than Miss Even's life and the honor and disgrace of a country? Qige is really a little afraid to take it. ”

In the face of Bai Qige's straightforward questioning, the queen just smiled faintly, neither refuting nor admitting it: "Human life is not equal to high or low, you have to accept this rule." There are thousands of people in the world, countless officials, and even princes and princes have a bunch of them, but if they are for the king alone, a word, who can't give their lives with both hands? If you are blessed to be the crown princess, you should be prepared, in the future, there will only be more masters and servants in this palace because of you lose their heads, how can a civilian girl be compared? ”

In a feudal society with the highest royal power, Bai Qige naturally understands that the lives of ordinary people cannot be compared with the emperor's generals, but even Shower is the only daughter of the general, and even such a noble and innocent girl has to become a victim of the power struggle, which is unacceptable; What's more, the queen keeps saying that she should become the crown princess, but in fact, in order to regain power for herself, she will interfere in politics again by manipulating her, for Bai Qige, who is bent on assisting Yi Chenjing to become a generation of Ming monarchs, it is tantamount to hearing the most disgusting words.

seemed to see Bai Qige's anger and contempt, and the queen's plain face finally had some expressions, not angry and excited, but more like exculpating herself: "Don't think too extremely, after all, this palace is the mother of a country far away, how can you collude with foreign barbarians to hurt heroes and good generals?" That night, someone reported that something had happened to the Hexiang Palace, and the palace thought that this was a good opportunity, so he let people lose a guard token around - one of the opinions that the palace and the emperor rarely have in common, that is, the son of the war family. ”

"So the queen mother spread the news that she saw the war court appear near the Hexiang Palace that night, so that the emperor would arrest people indiscriminately, and on the surface, it was to get rid of the hidden danger of the war court, but in fact, it was to use it as a threat, right?" Bai Qige laughed angrily, and met the queen's gaze without fear.

She and Yi Chenjing both understood the queen's purpose, it was nothing more than to threaten her to accept the so-called "help" through the war court, since the false rumors were released by the queen, then only the people who released the rumors could rehabilitate the war court.

Helplessly, judging from the current situation, there is only one way to save the war court.

This conversation is really naked and straightforward, whether it is Bai Qige or the queen, both of them like to go straight to the point, if they were heard by others, they would probably have been shocked beyond measure.

The wind outside the window was still shouting, the charcoal in the brazier in the room was crackling, the argument just now suddenly stopped, and the two figures pulled out a long and thin shadow under the candlelight, similar at first glance, but there was an indescribable huge difference, the difference between the world.

There was silence for a long time, probably because she ran out of patience and didn't want to drag it out any longer, so the queen simply had a showdown: "This palace has given you enough time to think about it, and now I want you to reply." Follow me, keep your future unimpeded, and you will definitely become my princess of Dayao, and he will take over the throne of the queen of this palace one day; On the contrary, not only will the son of the war family be charged, but you will also not get any benefits. Now is the first moment, and the main palace will give you three quarters of an hour at the end, do you accept or reject when you are ugly...... Whether you want to become a phoenix or fall to death in the future, you decide for yourself. ”

The queen entered the inner hall to rest with the support of the female official, and only Bai Qige was left standing alone outside, motionless for a long time.

If you want to love someone, if you want to help him fulfill his wishes, if you want to be his wife, does it have to be so difficult for something very simple to happen to her? It is wrong to advance, it is wrong to retreat, and even if it is wrong, she will be persecuted, who can show her a clear way to go, so that she does not have to work so hard to calculate?

On the battlefield, she was dominant, blood-stained robes, wounded the enemy, and won the victory; In the deep palace, she struggled and was careful everywhere, hurting herself and being bound.

is so tired, even the heart that is convinced of the continuous marriage with Yi Chenjing is gradually shaken.
