Soon after Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige left, Jin Zhaoyi also went back to his palace under the protection of the guards, and only Yu Che was left alone in Concubine Jing's room to take care of. After all, it was a woman, and in the dead of night, it was inevitable that there would be a little fear when sitting alone in the room, so when Yu Che heard someone knocking on the door, he hesitated before opening the door carefully.

Immediately afterwards, he suffered a pain in the back of his neck and was unconscious.

A pair of thick arms caught the soft fainting Yu Che and put the person on the wide chair in the room, and patted the residual fat and rice fragrance on his hands helplessly: "Your Majesty wants to see Concubine Jing Niangniang, no one will stop you, why bother so much." Concubine Jing's ban on the cold palace has long been lifted, even if she is seen, it doesn't matter. ”

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. I deliberately snub her and still have bad intentions, and once I find out that I still care about her so much, won't it once again push her into danger. The hooded cloak that almost covered most of his face was removed, and his face, which looked like Yi Chenjing but was much older, had a faint sadness, and he couldn't hide his eagerness to show through his bright eyes that Emperor Yao was not in a very good mood at this time. Sitting lightly on the edge of the bed, his wrinkled palm caressed Concubine Jing's cheeks, which were also no longer young, and there was a little helplessness in her dark eyes: "Sui Liang, do you still remember when Yun'er was poisoned." ”

Even Suiliang nodded without hesitation: "Of course I remember." At that time, the daughter of the official department was elected to the harem and promoted as a nobleman, because His Majesty was dissatisfied with the concubine Niangniang, and even smeared poison on the Niangniang's clothes, but fortunately, Shen Guoshi was well-informed and asked the imperial doctor to prepare the antidote in time, otherwise there would be no Seven Princes today. ”

"Yes, Yun'er has been favored by my side for six years, and during this time, she has been made bad and assassinated so many times that I dare not count them. But in the end, all I can give her is injustice and the cold palace, and even if I want to see her now, I have to sneak to protect people's eyes...... It is said that the emperor is good, who can see the emperor do whatever he wants. There are those foolish eggs who don't know the blessings in the blessings, and they will do whatever it takes to take my place. ”

It is self-evident who Emperor Yao's words refer to, and occasionally his conscience is emotional, and he can't help but feel a little ashamed when he looks at the two old but still warm figures: "The last general is not effective in protecting Concubine Jing, and now in the face of the Seven Princes, he can't tell the truth, thinking that the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the Seven Princes has been deep, and the last general really doesn't know what else to do." ”

"Okay, you've worked a lot with me for so many years, and I blamed you when I did. Besides, there are many things that I don't allow you to tell outsiders, even if you have the heart, you can't do it. Emperor Yao clenched Concubine Jing's hand and raised his chin towards the door, "Let's see if there is anyone else outside the door, I want to say a few words to Yun'er." ”

Occasionally, Sui Liang opened the door and looked around carefully, and after making sure that there was no one, he stood in the corner dutifully guarding, and in the soft candlelight in the bedroom, it seemed that the younger Emperor Da Yao gently called the name of his beloved, and his face was full of pity and distress. Concubine Jing didn't wake up after all, probably because she heard someone calling her in a dream, or maybe it was just a subconscious action, and the hand held by Emperor Yao was slightly stronger, responding to the husband who was calling hard.

"Yun'er, I'm sorry for you, I just thought that Suiliang would protect you safely, but I didn't expect you to become like this. Jing'er has returned to the palace, thin, strong, although he hates me more and more, but at least he came back alive intact, see that he is fine, I ...... I'm really happy. Lowering his head and approaching the half-aged cheeks with his eyes closed, Emperor Yao hooked his fingers and scratched the tip of Concubine Jing's nose, and there was a hint of laughter in his tone, "As you said, Jing'er is really very similar to me, brave, stubborn, obviously a great general who has made great achievements, but when facing me, he refuses to even restrain his temper and give a good face." But I don't blame him, but I feel more sorry for him than I am for you, let your mother and son have been wronged for so many years, and in the end you still have to pretend to be indifferent, and that child should hate me. ”

Thinking of the disappointed expression that flashed on Yi Chenjing's face when he deliberately shielded his other son, Emperor Yaohuang's heart suddenly ached, and he pressed his chest tightly.

"Your Majesty." Even Suiliang gasped, hurriedly took out the medicine bottle and poured two pills and sent them to the mouth of Emperor Yao, and after taking the medicine for half an hour, Emperor Yao's withered face gradually recovered a few wisps of blood. Shaking the medicine bottle that was almost empty, Lian Suiliang said in a low tone: "Taking too much of this medicine is not beneficial to the body, Your Majesty still has to pay attention to stabilizing your emotions." Concubine Jing has always understood His Majesty's distress, and the Seventh Prince will understand sooner or later, why should His Majesty blame himself too much. ”

"Understood. How does that kid understand. What he saw was that I favored Xuan'er and didn't care about his life or death, what he saw was that I had neglected their mother and son for so many years, and what he saw was that I let him be born and die without giving him the corresponding reward......" A cough alarmed the sleeping Concubine Jing, her slender eyebrows frowned slightly, she murmured twice, shook the palm of Emperor Yao's hand and fell asleep peacefully. Slowing down his tone and lowering the volume, Emperor Yao sighed: "It's not wrong for Jing'er to blame me, I took it for granted, thinking that he would let Jing'er go after telling Xuan'er that it was possible to abolish the prince and help him take the throne, who knows...... Alas, I didn't care enough about them, so that one of their brothers hated me for not being able to level the bowl of water, and the other didn't even care about brotherhood for the sake of the throne, in the end, it's all my fault, my fault......"

Listening to Emperor Yao's long sigh, he was silent and stopped talking.

He was loyal to Emperor Yao but did not support some incomprehensible ideas and practices, such as Yi Chenxuan's fratricide, and thinking that giving Yi Chenxuan a reassuring pill would make him give up the persecution of Concubine Jing's mother and son, these are simply whimsical nonsense in the eyes of Yu Suiliang.

If the human heart is dirty, it will be difficult to cleanse it, and when the wish is satisfied, it will only become worse.

"Actually,"

"Sui Liang, I have said that there is no second way to go in this matter." As if he guessed that he couldn't bear to say something, Emperor Yao raised his hand to interrupt, and there was a long-expected tranquility in his eyes, "My throne was not right, and I forced the whole family of the imperial brother who grew up together to death, and now this situation is probably karma." The only thing I can do is to do everything in my power to keep the two brothers from following in my footsteps, and whoever takes my place in the end will not have the same troubled conscience as I do in my old age. For Concubine Jing, she tucked the horn and stared affectionately for a long time, and Emperor Yao suddenly spoke: "By the way, did you tell that girl what I asked you to convey." ”

"Having said that, there is no refutation or dissatisfaction, it seems normal."

nodded thoughtfully, her always cloudy and dim eyes during the day showed a shrewd and keen color, and it was difficult to distinguish between the true and false with a light smile: "She is a good girl, smart and courageous, worthy of being a descendant of the Bai family, but unfortunately, she is not suitable for Jing'er." ”

But apart from that girl, who else can make the Seven Princes, who have suffered from displacement and oppression, smile sincerely.

Even if he didn't ask the question, he knew that even if he asked, he would not get an answer, even if it was the rarest truth among the countless lies and deceptions.

I don't know if it's the mother-son connection, Concubine Jing was asleep and was disturbed during that time, Yi Chenjing, who was in the study, was also suddenly restless, and the heavy inkstone fell to the ground with a loud noise, waking up Bai Qige, who had just closed his eyes and rested.

"What's wrong?" Bai Qige jumped up from the chair reflexively, and quickly put his fingers on the short sword at his waist.

"I didn't do anything, I just accidentally touched the inkstone." Looking at Bai Qige's bloodshot eyes and dark circles, Yi Chenjing picked up the person in distress, and couldn't help but say that he threw it on the couch, "You won't let you go back to sleep, the study is so cold, you are not afraid of being blown by the wind and infected with the cold." Sleep down, lie down and sleep well, and cover it with a cloak to warm up. ”

Yi Chenjing was very worried, thinking about Concubine Jing's illness and worrying about many things, knowing that it was impossible to fall asleep, he planned to read some books and chat in the study to relieve his boredom, Bai Qige wanted to stay up with him all night, but he fell asleep unconsciously after sitting in the chair for a while. She was so tired, she had been running around for a while and bringing countless burdens, this delicate body that belonged to everyone's beautiful lady could not bear the heavy load, even if she struggled, she couldn't withstand the exhaustion and sleepiness, and after a short rest, she felt even more sleepy, and even felt tired with her eyes half open.

After waking up, more surging sleepiness came, and Yi Chenjing's concern and blame could not be heard in his ears at all, and his heart was full of only thinking about being sleepy and sleeping. Bai Qige lay down obediently for the first time, her misty eyes were pitiful, and her peaceful expression was as innocent as a child.

Yi Chenjing took a deep breath, held his breath for a moment and exhaled a long time: "I am usually cold and fierce like a wild leopard, but now I will become a docile rabbit to test me." ”

The world says that the seven princes of Da Yao, the young general favored by Emperor Yao, has always been dull and incomprehensible, and there are two beautiful relatives in the family who don't know how to care, and see other women who are also unruly and steady like a mountain, only he himself knows how many times he has been scolded by the ugly wife with hideous scars to be a disciple, and from time to time he has to be hit with three punches and two kicks.

Who made him fall in love with Bai Qige.

Just looking at her Ning and sleeping faces will make my heart pound.

The fingertips lingered sweetly, moving along the white cheeks and touching lightly, across the slender neck, across the thin shoulders that were not enough to grasp, and suddenly stopped at the soft waist. Across the palm of the hand, Yi Chenjing's face became a little ugly, she was originally a little baby fat, she came to Yaoguo for more than a year to lose weight into a bamboo pole, and now she has returned after fleeing, and the slender waist that always makes him worry about whether it will be blown by the wind is actually thinner again.

If she continues like this, she will lose weight, Yi Chenjing rubbed her forehead and looked up with emotion.

After a few moments of hesitation, Yi Chenjing turned over and ran onto the soft couch, pulled the deer fur cloak tightly on the two of them, and hugged Bai Qige tightly with his wide body. The study is cold, he is afraid that she will fall asleep with frostbite, that's all, if she asks tomorrow and explains it like this, he is not a stinky and shameless hooligan, at least not to other women.

Bai Qige seems to have a kind of magic, every time Yi Chenjing feels like she wants to lose sleep, as long as she is next to her, she will be sleepy, which is really weird.

Closing his eyes, the temperature in his arms has not changed for days and nights, as if to prove to him that some things are eternal, Yi Chenjing shrunk into his cloak and wrapped his arms tighter. How many days have I not touched her. In the chaos and confusion, Yi Chenjing asked himself, but his palm was unusually honestly attached to Bai Qige's back.

He wanted her, he always wanted to, as if this would show the incomparable intimacy between the two of them, and silently tell everyone that Bai Qige was his, and no one could take it away.

But not now, she's tired and needs a good rest.

Once he was deeply in love with Hong Silk, and he wanted to live and die with Red Silk as a winged mandarin duck, and even did not hesitate to destroy his childhood sweetheart's friend for her, and he also stubbornly forced Bai Qige to accept Huan under him and thought that it was the true love. And now, after going through many ups and downs side by side with Bai Qige, he suddenly finds that he has become mature, and his feelings are no longer as paranoid as a child.

Like a person should not be excessively demanded, but to protect her, warm her, as a treasure for a lifetime.

And Bai Qige is a unique treasure in his life.
