Chapter 052: Don't Choose
The innocent and innocent girl was forced to break her legs and imprisoned in the cold cage like that, Bai Qige also thought about who did it when she was bored, can you bear it? Aren't you afraid of retribution?
Unexpectedly, I got an answer unexpectedly today.
A relieved sigh echoed in the room, Yi Chenjing turned around, with a self-deprecating smile on his angular face: "Do you think I'm inferior to a beast?" A person like me will definitely go to the Abi Hell after death, and Hongxuan has long been reincarnated or ascended to the immortal, and it is impossible for me to see her again. ”
"Why? Did the emperor force you to do that? Without much thought, Bai Qige blurted out.
She didn't believe that Yi Chenjing would hurt Li'er for no reason, even though he had done far more viciously to her than breaking her legs.
Bai Qige forgot when she couldn't find her hatred for Yi Chenjing anymore, she had sworn that she would return all the pain she suffered to him, she still hated him at that time, but seeing that he was respectful and filial to Concubine Jing, seeing that he was loveless but gentle to Su Yan Surao, and seeing that he was distressed about Li'er's protection in every way, the hatred in her heart faded and disappeared unconsciously. Bai Qige firmly believes that such a man will not take away a little girl's legs for no reason, he must have to make this decision as a last resort, as for the reason......
There's no reason to believe it, just like that.
The clean and transparent gaze gave Yi Chenjing great courage, and the slightly pale and crippled face looked at him quietly, asking him why, instead of scolding him. For the first time, I recalled the scene of breaking Li'er's legs with my own hands that day, and there was no trembling, and there was no suffocation feeling of bearing the weight alone.
"When I first returned to Zhaoguo, my father was always worried that I would support the rebellion like my uncle, knowing that Zhan Ting was my childhood friend, and the Zhan family was an important accomplice to my uncle's rebellion, so my father gave me two choices. The first is to kill Zhan Ting and Li'er with his own hands to clear the suspicion of rebellion; The second is that I came forward to break Li'er's legs and give her a poison, so that she will be imprisoned in the palace forever and will never be freed, and the war court can save her life and be my subordinate. Between these two paths, I chose the latter. ”
Walking to the side of the bed, Yi Chenjing gently held Bai Qige's hand, usually his hand was hot and her hand was cold, but this time it was turned around, and it was Bai Qige who warmed him with his body.
"I didn't tell the truth to the war court, the most painful person in his life is his sister, if I tell him the ins and outs, he will definitely break into the forbidden land to save Li'er, I don't want to see him kill himself - as long as he lives, there will be a day when we meet."
The temperature from the palm of his hand stirred the heartstrings, and the secret that had been hidden in his heart for many years could finally be said to others, Yi Chenjing had never felt such a relaxed feeling. The woman in front of her looked at him but didn't interject for half a sentence, her slender fingers clenched back hard, as if to make him understand that she believed him and believed every word he said.
With such a perfect listener, no one can hold back the conversation, Yi Chenjing is no exception, and he continued with a fixed concentration: "With Li'er as a containment, the war court has been very stable over the years, you see that he is usually honest and honest, and he will never think of the scene three years ago, crazy, stubborn, his eyes are blood-red, even I can't stop him." Li'er is a sensible child, I told her that if she wants to save the war court, she must endure hardships, she actually agreed without even asking, and I still can't forget the way she gritted her teeth and said nothing that night when I broke her legs - at that time, she was only an eleven year old! ”
The painful expression can't be pretended, Bai Qige can see clearly, Yi Chenjing is really blaming himself, and his clenched hands are unprecedentedly cold.
Everything is providential, he should have been a kind prince who lives a worry-free life in the palace of Yaoguo, and has nothing to do like the crown prince, instead of a vicious conspiracy usurper with revenge and hatred. Maybe he owes a lot of people, but ten years of proton life has given him too many shameful memories, isn't this fate owed to him?
"Instead, I'll make the same choice as you." Stretching out his other hand to cover the back of Yi Chenjing's hand, Bai Qige whispered softly, "You did hurt Li'er, but you couldn't help yourself in the power struggle, and you saved the battle court by hurting her, this is a favor for Li'er rather than something that needs to be resented." No matter how much guilt and self-blame you have, you can't wash away the past, since you have chosen, stick to the end, and wait until the day you ascend the throne are afraid that you won't be able to pay it back? Give Li'er freedom, reunite their brother and sister, and do it if you want to make amends. ”
After being silent for a long time, Yi Chenjing pinched the Bai Qi singer: "Don't let Zhan Ting know for the time being." ”
"I understand."
All the thoughts poured out were much more comfortable, Yi Chenjing's mood was better than before, seeing that Bai Qige's face was still pale, he couldn't help frowning: "Are you sick or what?" The complexion is very different. ”
"I'm tired of what has happened lately, and I'll be fine in a few days." Avoiding Yi Chenjing's gaze, Bai Qige shook her head slightly, "Mrs. Qi can't get more useful information out of her mouth, she is still pregnant with a child, she can't always be so frightened, do you have any way to keep her away from the palace until she gives birth smoothly?" ”
"After all, it's a family affair of the Fifth Emperor Brothers, and you and I have no right to interfere. That's good, you can go to Jin Zhaoyi and ask when you have time, and see if you can find a way through the queen. ”
People are from afar in the palace, and no one can stop Yi Chenxuan from coming to the door to ask for help, and now he can only ask the queen for help as Yi Chenjing said. Accumulating too many trivial things in his heart, Bai Qige sighed again, and his exhaustion was revealed on his face.
Yi Chenjing suddenly remembered something, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Qige: "I sent it the day before yesterday, and I forgot to give it to you last night." ”
Although thousands of mountains and rivers are far away, the family letter from Zhaoguo has never been broken, and the second brother Bai Haocheng has never given up contacting Bai Qige, although there are many letters and few replies to letters, he still persevered. Shaking open the envelope, the seal was still intact, and Bai Qige smiled indifferently.
In the past, the letter had to be read by Yi Chenjing before it was transferred to her, but this time he didn't do that, he stuck to his agreement with her, maybe it was a little difficult, but he was really trying to convince himself to trust her.
"Feeling better?" The side of his face was cold, his slightly rough fingers crossed the scars on his face, and when he turned his head to look, Yi Chenjing's eyebrows were gloomy, "Do you hate me?" ”
Carefully accepting the letter and showing a far-fetched smile, Bai Qige didn't understand why he suddenly asked such a question, and hesitated for a moment to speak: "Does it matter if you hate or not?" The Bai family is under your control, even if I am dissatisfied with what you have done, I can only live like this, I said earlier, I can give up everything for the Bai family, don't you believe it? ”
"It's not that you don't believe it, you misunderstood." Yi Chenjing shook his head, "I just want to know, if I take control of the Bai family, will you still stay here?" ”
Bai Qige was stunned, Yi Chenjing's attitude was quite blunt and domineering when she asked her to stay by her side yesterday, why did she change her tone today? Besides, how easy it is to let her stay in the dust Xuan, the Bai family is her fatal weakness, as long as the Bai family holds it in her hands, she has to obey whatever she wants, but he has to give up such a good threat, it is unreasonable.
"What are you excited about?"
"I'm not joking with you, Qige, I'm serious, if I let the Bai family go and give you freedom, will you still stay with me?" Dispelling Bai Qige's smile, Yi Chenjing was extremely serious. He urgently needed an answer to this question, and after several turmoils, he had to believe that the woman in front of him was no longer the familiar Xiaoyingge, her wisdom, her steadiness, the edge she tried her best to hide, and her irreplaceable understanding of him, all of which made Yi Chenjing reluctant to let go.
Bai Qige, the third lady of the Bai family who was almost tortured to death by him, is now like a rare treasure in front of her, since she has really forgotten those old grievances, why doesn't he forget them together, let her be annihilated in memory and then reborn after breaking the cocoon?
Hesitating as expected, Yi Chenjing did not urge Bai Qige, but quietly watched her and waited for her to answer.
"Give me some time to think about it." After a long time, Bai Qige finally said in a low voice, "I'll give you an answer in three days." ”
"Then you rest first, don't walk around if you're not in good health, if there's anything to ask Yu Che to go to the study to find me."
Faintly agreed, he lay on the bed on his side, the door opened and closed, and his footsteps gradually drifted away. The brocade quilt in his hand was already soaked with sweat, because he was too hard, the crescent marks of two curved nails were pinched out in his palm, Bai Qige took a deep breath, I don't know if Yi Chenjing heard her heart beating violently just now.
Inexplicably nervous, at the moment when he asked if he could stay by his side.
It's been half a year since she arrived in Yaoguo, and in the past half a year, she has been thinking about leaving and rescuing the Bai family in the cage, but when her wish may come true, she is stunned.
If Yi Chenjing is really willing to give her freedom, is it right or wrong to leave like this? once promised to plan for him, but now he took the initiative to let go, should he go, should he stay, how to choose?
If she doesn't leave, he will draw the ground as a prison and lock her up, she is unwilling; gone, it's hard to see him again, maybe goodbye in this life...... Reluctant.
Yes, reluctantly, reluctantly.
Holding the quilt and curling up, Bai Qige tried to sleep peacefully to avoid troubles, but the sleepiness seemed to leave with Yi Chenjing, and she couldn't find the slightest sleepiness when she closed her eyes, and panic spread irrepressibly in her heart, swallowing her calmness little by little.
Why, does she feel that she doesn't want to leave Yi Chenjing?
Bai Qige was not the only one with complicated feelings, leaving Huixi Ju and walking on the road, Yi Chenjing was also troubled by his abnormal behavior. In the face of Bai Qige, he always seemed to be unable to hide his thoughts, and it was even more unexpected to say that he wanted to let go of the Bai family, what if Bai Qige really wanted to leave, would he watch her leave? After trying his best to break through the Zhao Kingdom and taking her back to Dayao for thousands of miles, when did the firm belief in avenging Hongxuan become fragile and were scattered in just half a year?
Stopping in a hurry, he slammed his fist into the wall, and his finger bones felt a real pain.
Something has been disrupted, between him and Bai Qige, something that has always made him feed on hatred and maintain the antagonistic relationship between the two.
"What is Your Highness doing here?" A crisp and playful voice sounded behind him, Yi Chenjing's thoughts were confused and unguarded, and he turned his head in a little surprise.
"Su Rao? Why are you here? Didn't I say that idlers are not allowed to approach Huixi Residence? ”
