The hosta lay quietly on the ground, the white and flawless surface reflected in the candlelight, flickering and dimming.

Bai Qige's mind was blank, his eyes were empty and he couldn't find a place to stay, and he couldn't hear Yi Chenjing's angry cold rebuke in his ears, he only felt that his chest was about to crack, and the pain was in the bone marrow.

The person she wants to believe but can't believe, the person she knows is scheming but can't get bored, she desperately deceives herself that he is not a bad person, he is just a helpless person...... The boundless cold palace of Yaoguo, the last spark in her fantasy.

But the truth is so cruel that she ruthlessly shatters her only illusion.

Yi Chenxuan is using her after all.

Bai Qige's dazed loss did not arouse the slightest sympathy and pity from Yi Chenjing, their hearts were too far apart, Yi Chenjing could not understand how heartbroken and disheartened she was at the moment, he only thought that the pale face was afraid of the exposure of her private affairs, and even the uncontrollable trembling on her body became ironclad evidence of suspicion.

"I thought you had changed, Xiao Yingge, I thought you finally had a conscience and were finally willing to be honest with each other, but you disappointed me again." Yi Chenjing took a deep breath and tilted his head slightly, refusing to let Bai Qige see his expression.

I'm afraid that she will know when she sees it, and she really tries to believe in her again, but in the end she despairs.

Suddenly letting go of his hand, Yi Chenjing returned to a cold body and sat in the chair, and his tone was also frozen into ice: "It's unexpected, isn't it?" I didn't expect Yi Chenxuan to quietly send back the hosta you dropped, and I didn't expect that no matter how careful he was, he would still be discovered, he was the worst among all the princes, so it's no wonder that he couldn't even do this little thing. ”

"I did meet him, but I didn't make an appointment on purpose." Bai Qige opened his mouth in a low voice, his expression was almost numb, "Take a hundred steps back, what can he say if he finds the hosta and sends it back?" If it weren't for your suspicions, others wouldn't even want to be seen by you. ”

Yi Chenjing didn't speak, staring at Bai Qige motionless with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to understand her mind thoroughly, but the anger had not passed, and no matter how much he forced himself to calm down, he still couldn't do it.

After ten years of companionship, he didn't want to hurt the weak woman who had always been treated as a sister, but Bai Qige gave him too many surprises and too many incomprehensible ones. The concealment of the cause of Hongxuan's death, the huge personality difference in just three years, whether to believe her or not to believe her has become Yi Chenjing's biggest headache, and finally decided to believe her for the last time, and even foolishly reminded her to be careful of Yi Chenxuan, and the result was ......

When Yi Chenxuan appeared awkwardly in front of Bai Qige's room with a hosta, everything was over.

"The back garden is a secluded place, and it is inaccessible on weekdays, so I can't figure out any reason why Yi Chenxuan would go there. There is also this hosta, and it is not without eunuchs and palace maids who come and go on the road, why was it so coincidentally picked up by him? The corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, Yi Chenjing raised his hand, "You come here." ”

After hesitating for a moment and walking to the table, Bai Qige was tense, for fear that Yi Chenjing would treat him roughly, after all, this delicate body could not withstand his torture. However, Yi Chenjing didn't make a move, but got up close to Bai Qige's neck, closed his eyes and sniffed.

"I don't understand incense, but I have the impression that this smell is an exotic tribute incense that Qi is proud of, and it is unique."

The taste is very light, elegant and charming. When she first heard it, Bai Qige wondered why Yi Chenxuan would use such a soft feminine spice, and after listening to Yi Chenjing's explanation, she realized that this was actually a clever move in the chess game, which seemed difficult to detect, but it was enough to push her into the abyss from which she could never recover.

When Yi Chenxuan put the cloak on her shoulder, the faint fragrance became ironclad evidence of the intimate private meeting between the two.

Standing in front of Bai Qige with a cold body, his eyes were deep and cold: "Do you still want to quibble?" ”

"Man is a sword, I am a fish." The bitter and cold laughter was like a heartbreak, Bai Qige sighed, raised his head and closed his eyes, "He wants to frame me, and you don't believe me, even if you have a million reasons, what's the use?" Yi Chenjing, can you believe it, if I really wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be able to stand here now, I don't need to collude with anyone at all. ”

"I don't do you any good if I die, I can't get relief and I can't keep the Bai family safe, of course you won't do that. I underestimate you too much, Bai Qige, maybe it's not that Yi Chenxuan wants to use you, but that you are using him - using him to get rid of my shackles, if you plan properly, you can become the princess naturally, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth from now on. Inhaling deeply again, under the light of the candlelight, Yi Chenjing's originally handsome face was stained with frost, "Seeking heaven and earth and seeking people's hearts, I never found out, Bai Qige, you are such a terrible woman!" ”

It's not her who is scary, but this difficult and dangerous world, and people's hearts are unpredictable.

There is no point in smiling hoarsely and bitterly, Bai Qige just wants to laugh, and all the absurd and outrageous encounters are poured out into laughter, maybe there is someone who has a heart to understand.

How ridiculous, the fifth prince who seemed to be as gentle as water, who once said to her sweetly, didn't care about her appearance, just wanted to protect her and cherish her, and tore off her disguise, but he was the mastermind behind the trap that pushed her into the abyss. The warm embrace she is attached to is just a play, a chess game in the world that competes for power and does not hesitate to use her as a pawn, and she, besides smiling bitterly, what else can she do?

laughing until he was heartbroken, he bent over with laughter, and Bai Qige propped up the table with scattered eyes: "Yi Chenjing, what about your intelligence?" Are you scheming? Glory and wealth, princess...... Don't laugh, who would really fall in love with an ugly woman? Have you forgotten, this is a trace carved by your own hands! ”

Grabbed Yi Chenjing's palm and put it on his face, the uneven scar was hot and hot, hideous and ugly.

Yi Chenxuan will never fall in love with her at all.

"Yes, how did I forget, you are an ugly woman with a femme fatale heart?" As if muttering to himself, Yi Chenjing rubbed lightly on his pale cheeks, his fingertips slid to the side of his face, and the scar suddenly stopped, and his eyes suddenly became fierce, "Is it not enough to ruin your face, you still fantasize about being able to deceive other men for a lifetime of stability?" In that case......"

A flower in front of him, the huge force behind the waist made Bai Qige instantly calm down from the excitement, the man who was close at hand had clear eyebrows, hatred was undisguised, holding her tightly to her chest with one hand, and tearing off the thin clothes with the other hand, the sneer at the corner of her lips was chilling.

"If you destroy your body, will you be able to die?"

Bai Qige only said that he was disgusted and wanted her to live rather than die, but he had never touched this body since they got along, whether he was unwilling or disdainful, at least before this, Bai Qige never thought that Yi Chenjing still had such a hand, which caught her off guard and couldn't help but be full of horror.

If he wants her, then what will happen to her, who no longer even has innocence? Even if there is a day when she escapes from the clutches of the devil, will there still be people who care about her, love her, and don't dislike her for ruining her face?

In this era of treating women as tools to vent their desires and pass on their ancestry, appearance and chastity are the most precious things for every woman, Yi Chenjing has taken away her appearance and given her an indelible ugly face, is she not even willing to leave her the last dignity, and she has to be forced into a desperate situation?

Stunned, he forgot to resist, Bai Qige stood distracted, letting his clothes fall to the ground, and his bare thin shoulders were cold.

Isn't it time to give up? Give up the pride and self-esteem that you desperately persevere, give up the burden you carry alone, and give up the futile struggle in the dire straits? Imprisoned in a cage, what can she do to fight against Yi Chenjing's boundless torture of hatred, and who can reach out in the dark to pull her out of the quagmire and see the light of day again?

I'm so tired, really tired, I want to just close my eyes and fall into a deep sleep.

"It's been three watches, but His Royal Highness wants to worry about his mother? What are these lazy people doing when they go to bed early? There was not even a person in front of the door to deal with—" A clear voice and the sound of pushing the door interrupted the warm spring color, and there was a crisp crack, the delicate teacup fell and shattered, and the boiling water on the ground steamed a large area of heat.

Su Rao was dumbfounded and at a loss, two flushes flew on her fair and delicate face, and it took a long time to cover her eyes and turn around with a low scream.

After being sealed as a concubine, she never accepted joy, but Su Rao still understood some things about men and women, seeing that Bai Qige's skirt was half exposed, and Yi Chenjing hugged her clothes disheveled, what happened, what was going to happen, Su Rao was clear in her heart.

"Get out." Missing the usual gentleness, facing the playful and cute young concubine, Yi Chenjing only coldly spit out one word.

The flush on her delicate cheeks turned pale in an instant, and the lively and cheerful Su Rao couldn't help but scold her like this, her eyes were red, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Can't understand people? Get out of here! ”

Su Rao's rough shouting frightened Su Rao, stumbled back into the courtyard, and squirmed her lips several times to say something, but in the end she could only swallow it back into her stomach. This is a woman, a slave for her husband, and a plaything for a king, who comes and goes as soon as she is called, and has been like this for thousands of years.

Yi Chenjing, who was still angry, was about to continue to punish the woman in his arms, but he couldn't prevent a pain in his feet, and Bai Qige didn't know where a brute force came from to push him away, and before Yi Chenjing could react, he grabbed his loose clothes and rushed out of the door.

The angry shout frightened Su Rao, but it also woke up Bai Qige, unwilling and humiliated made her unable to bear the situation of going against the grain, and turned around and fled after stepping on Yi Chenjing.

Although she knew in her heart that she couldn't hide for a while, and sooner or later there would be a day, but at least not now, not at this moment when she was completely shocked by countless cruel realities and had no power to resist.

Passing by Su Rao, Bai Qige did not look back or comfort her, and rushed to her room as fast as she could, but did not see the unnoticed expression of the girl with her back to Yi Chenjing behind her.

Su Rao was laughing, as if she was sneering, and like mockery, and the gloss under her eyes was by no means strange.

Bitterness.
