"What is this for, isn't it just getting drunk and going the wrong way, what's there to make a fuss about?" Listening to a group of women chattering and fluctuating, the prince who had been watching for a long time finally couldn't help but speak, "A purse involves a lot, I really don't know how troublesome you women are." I don't think I have to wait for anyone to sober up, it's time to disperse, it's rare that today's good interest has been swept away by you, it's really unlucky! ”

"Why should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be angry, the incident happened in the East Palace, and it is beneficial and harmless to the prince to investigate thoroughly, so as not to let people spread rumors in the future." Concubine Jin is calm and relaxed, and her words are right in the prince's weakness, and it seems that she has to investigate to the end.

Yi Chenjing has mentioned the relationship between the power of the harem and the previous dynasty several times, and through the several conversations with different tones just now, Bai Qige also roughly understood the current situation, basically a faction headed by the crown prince and the crown princess, followed by a faction headed by the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan, and then a faction centered on the brother of Concubine Jin and Prime Minister Da Yaozuo, these three factions took the opportunity of her "mistakenly" entering the apse of the East Palace to make a big fuss, and they all tried to suppress each other by various means.

An extremely simple thing is becoming more and more complicated, and she has been pushed to the forefront and become a chess piece that everyone is vying to use, who can save her, who wants to harm her, and then the deeper thing Bai Qige is really powerless to think, just hoping to quickly come to a conclusion so that she can quickly get out of the difficult situation of riding a tiger.

Yu Chi Lianrong glanced at the embarrassed prince, and the meaning of complaining was very obvious, but when she turned her head to Concubine Jin, she had to change her smile to Fengying: "What did Concubine Jin say, although this purse is in the hands of Jin Zhaoyi, it can't be said that it was stolen by the princess and stuffed to her, this apse has always been in my control, and there can never be any fornication between men and women." ”

"Then please tell Jin Zhaoyi, what is the reason for you to even bring a purse to the banquet in the East Palace?"

Concubine Jin's aggressiveness intensified, Jin Zhaoyi wanted to speak several times, and even Bai Qige, who pretended to be drunk, was in a hurry. Su Yan was anxious in her eyes, and the back of her hand was hot, but it was Yi Chenjing who was glaring at her, and following Yi Chenjing's gaze, it was landing on the purse.

The crux of the problem lies in the origin of this purse, Su Yan got Yi Chenjing's reminder of the inspiration, and hurriedly walked to the concubine and knelt down: "Concubine Jin, in fact, this purse Jin Zhaoyi is not stored close to her body every day, everything is a misunderstanding, please listen to the concubine's explanation - as Concubine Niangniang said, Jin Zhaoyi's embroidery is unparalleled, the last time the concubine asked for peace, she saw Jin Zhaoyi embroidering this purse, and she felt that it looked good for a while and wanted to embroider one for His Royal Highness, so she begged Jin Zhaoyi to borrow it in every possible way. At that time, the purse had not yet been embroidered, and it happened that today's prince invited a gambling celebrity, thinking that Jin Zhaoyi was planning to take this opportunity to borrow the purse with the concubine to bring it to him. ”

"Yes, yes, that makes sense." Hearing that Su Yan excused Jin Zhaoyi, the crown princess also swept away her previous arrogant attitude, and smiled cautiously, "Actually, I have always wanted to borrow Jin Zhaoyi's embroidery to take a look, but I didn't expect Mrs. Su to borrow it first." ”

What Su Yan said was reasonable but could not find evidence to refute it, coupled with the partiality of important figures such as the crown princess, Concubine Jin knew that it was false but there was nothing she could do. After glaring at it with a cold face a few times, she threw the purse back into Jin Zhaoyi's arms, and Concubine Jin looked at Bai Qige unwillingly: "The matter of the purse is not mentioned in the past." The palace can't manage other things, the princess can't turn a blind eye when she is drunk and out of shape, since the seventh prince entrusts the palace to discipline her, how to punish it will be decided by the palace - come here, take her off and send her to the servant maid's courtyard, tonight let our princess who came from afar sober up, so as not to do embarrassing things in the future! ”

"The concubine is the princess Xie Jinfei to teach." It's cold, and if you don't wear the wind and blow outside all night, you will definitely get sick, but it is a blessing to be able to escape the trumped-up charges, Su Yan dared to ask for more, and hurriedly kowtowed three heads to untie Bai Qige's wind with his own hands, and he couldn't bear to hide his worries in his heart.

Even if the matter is resolved to this point, it is considered a success, although there are still countless mysteries in it, but no one wants to take it seriously, and it is not good for anyone to pursue too much.

Bai Qige was still pretending to be drunk and was taken to serve by the two little eunuchs, and the others saw that there was no excitement and dispersed and went back to the palace. After sending Yi Chenjing and Yi Chenxuan away, the prince stood in the snow with a long sigh and was depressed, which made the princess angry, and raised her foot and kicked the snowflakes on the ground.

"How many times have I told you, it doesn't matter how you hook up with Jin Zhaoyi, as long as you don't get caught, if it weren't for the clever prevarication of the concubine room in Chenxuan today, I will see how you will end!"

"What do you blame me for?" The prince became more and more helpless, "You snatched the purse and gave it to Xun'er to play, who knew it would suddenly pop up?" Besides, if you didn't have to calculate and calculate to cause so much trouble, no one would suspect me and Jintuan. ”

The crown princess glared fiercely, and when she saw that the prince was lazy and lazy, she didn't pay attention to it, so she had to look at the snowy sky and tighten her brows.

"I only vaguely guessed that the fifth prince and the seventh prince would not be stable, if it weren't for that Su Jinyan secretly reported, I wouldn't have thought that a married princess would have almost broken something. Originally, I was going to kill the chicken to show the monkey, but I was almost scared by the little purse, and it seems that while we were staring at others, there were still people staring at us in the back. Taking a deep breath with palpitations, the daughter of Zuo Cheng, who was careful every step of the way, raised her head and let the cold snowflakes fall on her face, "Chen Yu, I don't ask you to treat me wholeheartedly, I just ask you to sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince, give our mother and son a stable backer, don't let us be bullied and despised like those with low status, isn't this okay?" ”

The questions with subtle heartache were not answered, and there was no careful listening to the prince behind him, only the snow fell silently.

On the road to the southwest corner of the palace, a soft sedan car stopped quietly, and the man who came out of the curtain looked unkind, and looked back at the road with deep eyes across the hazy sky.

"Your Highness, it's snowing on such a cold day, and Qi Ge can't last all night with so little clothing. Let me go and see her, even if it is only to clothe her in a wind, at most the eunuch who spends some silver to take care of her is more accommodating than to let her lie alone in the snow! ”

Su Yan couldn't stop crying, and dropped on the ground to melt the snow, but it couldn't melt the cold night.

"You think I want her to freeze to death?" Yi Chenjing clenched his fists, the blue and white bones were raised high, and there was anger hidden in the deliberately lowered voice, and there was also deep helplessness, "Concubine Jin is the best at torturing people, the reason why you let Qige sleep outside is because of this snow, what about the eunuchs you buy to take care of?" When I see the footprints on the ground tomorrow morning, will Concubine Jin believe your nonsense again?! ”

In order not to be discovered and sneak into the apse of the East Palace, Bai Qige must pretend to be drunk to the end, since Concubine Jin ordered her to sleep in the courtyard of the female servant until sunrise tomorrow morning, then she could not disobey no matter what. It's already the wax moon, and the dripping water turns into ice in the middle of winter, and it is difficult for a strong man to bear it even if he is in the wind and snow.

Su Yan was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, Yi Chenjing closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and only opened his eyes again when he calmed down: "Su Yan, you go back first, you must not tell your mother and Su Rao what happened, I'll go see Qige." ”

"I ......"

"Go back, your body is weak and can't resist the cold wind." As if he felt guilty about his rudeness just now, Yi Chenjing reluctantly smiled and gently persuaded him. Su Yan didn't do anything wrong, but saved Bai Qige and Jin Zhaoyi's lives at a critical moment, compared to his powerlessness, it was much better, Yi Chenjing didn't think she was qualified to scold her.

Under the persuasion of the attendant eunuch, Su Yan reluctantly returned to the sedan chair, and watched the lonely figure walk in the direction of the servant lady step by step.

"You say, 'What can you do when your Highness goes down?' It's just to watch Qige suffer, and it's just to make it sad. Sighing and whispering, Su Yan asked the eunuch in distraction.

"Your Highness can't help much, and the princess will not suffer less, but-" The eunuch smiled at any time, "I can know that His Royal Highness has this heart, no matter how cold my body is, the princess's heart will be warm after all." ”

When her heart warms her body, it won't be cold, but her heart is cold.

There was no noise and no intrigue around, and in the silence, only the rustle of the wind and the dead branches was heard, and Bai Qige opened his eyes and watched the snowflakes falling in the sky.

At the critical moment, neither Yi Chenjing nor Yi Chenxuan stood up to resist the injury for her, the five princes who had always been gentle were better, no matter what, they also stood up for her to stop the crown princess from violence, and the most hurtful thing was that Yi Chenjing kept a bystander attitude from beginning to end without saying a word, as if he had forgotten how they had tried their best to improve the relationship before, and how they frolicked for her thrush.

Sure enough, he can't be trusted, right?

His casual tenderness and thoughtfulness, his occasional gentleness, all to get closer to her, to woo her and make her her her own, right?

Protecting the Bai family too.

It is also forbidden for her to have contact with Yi Chenxuan.

has been lying to her from beginning to end, there is nothing to forget the past and re-trust, there is no so-called gradual change in impress, Yi Chenjing is really just using her and treating her as a chess piece with considerable value.

Curled up and curled up into a ball, scooping a handful of white and flawless snow in his hand, Bai Qige chuckled.

There was no temperature, she couldn't feel the heat or cold, her hands were already frozen, in the cold night of the snow, after constantly experiencing suspicion and deception.

He has his imperial strategy, and he does not hesitate to endure a lot in order to accumulate strength, what is a chess piece that can be discarded after use? He can't compare with his world. It was she who was wrong, and while constantly telling herself to save herself and give up the idea of relying on anyone, she still foolishly believed him.

The empty courtyard was covered with snow, and a thin figure in the center slept quietly, clasping his limbs, trying to isolate everything around him.

Xu was too frozen, Bai Qige never raised her head to look out, otherwise she might have seen the corner of the robe behind the wall at the door, and the silent man standing in the middle of the snow, suffering the same cold as her.
