Chapter 2010 Heart

On the map, the Baijia Manor is much larger than the Imperial City, but if you really stand in the center of Jianshui City and look at it, you will find that the Imperial City looks more magnificent.

A large stretch of palaces are scattered in the imperial city. Under the sunlight, the roofs all look golden and brilliant.

The Baijia Manor in the east seems to be much more low-key, and even strictly speaking, it looks like a stretch of hills standing strangely in the center of the city, enclosing the entire Baijia Manor inside.

However, it only looks relatively low-key. In fact, in most areas of Jianshui City, what can be seen across many continuous building blocks must still belong to the hill of Baijia Manor.

Unlike the Baijia Manor and the Imperial Palace, the Lanchi Garden to the west of the Imperial Palace is even more low-key.

The main body of the Orchid Pool Garden is naturally the Orchid Pool divided into several parts by small islands and waterside pavilions. The water surface is not small, with rippling blue waves, white birds coming and going, and flowers blooming in the surrounding green forests. The pavilions are hidden, and the environment looks quite pleasant.

On the edge of a part of the water in the south of Lanchi Garden, there is a peninsula protruding into the lake, and a palace full of spirituality is built on the peninsula.

The palace is surrounded by sycamore trees.

The name of this palace is Danfeng Palace, and it was the residence of the former Queen Chen, who was Li Xiangge's mother, in Lanchi Garden.

It may be to avoid the taboo, or to show her own differences. After the new queen, Queen Chen, moved to another residence called Fanglin Garden in the Lanchi Garden after she took over the throne, the Danfeng Palace is the Has been empty down.

Two days ago, Li Xiangge returned to Jianshui City and lived here.

The environment of Danfeng Palace is very good, perhaps because it has been vacant for a long time, making it extremely deserted.

Although it has been cleaned repeatedly and meticulously, the palace is still full of a decaying smell. There are not many people in the huge palace.

Except for the few maids and servants that Li Xiangge brought with him when he came back, there were only a few old women who were old and weak with slow hands and feet.

These people were sent by the current queen in the palace yesterday to express her 'concern' for Princess Jingyi.

Li Xiangge knew that this was her current 'mother queen' giving her a blow.

In fact, Li Xiangge didn't expect anything from this queen mother.

But what makes her feel cold now is that it has been a few days since she came back, but her father, the current Lord Chen Guo, seems to have never asked her, let alone summoned her.

In addition, there is also the eldest brother she has been counting on, the current crown prince of Chen Guo, who has also never shown up.

She has been staying in this Danfeng Palace, as if she was imprisoned.

After many years, he returned to his hometown again, but what he faced was such a situation, which naturally filled Li Xiangge's heart with chills.

Only from Nansu Kingdom, a steady stream of gifts were sent to Danfeng Palace, and they were piled aside coldly.

Compared with Nansu Kingdom, Chen Guo is an absolute giant, so Nansu Kingdom still attaches great importance to this marriage with Li Xiangge.

But Nan Su Guo only cared about getting closer to Chen Guo through these two marriages, and obviously didn't care about Li Xiangge at all.

Li Xiangge sighed faintly and lowered his head slightly.

The water of Lanchi Lake below is clear with rippling blue waves, and the clear reflection shows a beautiful figure looking down at the lake.

It was just her face, her brows were tightly furrowed, full of sorrow that was frozen like frost and could not be melted.

Li Xiangge has three faces.

One is Princess Jingyi, that is to say, she looks dignified and serene to the outside world, showing what a princess should look like.

One is the way she is now, and it is also the way she hates the most.

The death of the queen mother is actually not bad, after all, she is still very small.

But the key is her mother's death, the subsequent impact, the disgust of her father, the rejection of the new queen...

In order to attract people's attention, she intentionally mischievous and caused trouble, but she aroused even more dislike from her father. In the end, she even drove Li Xiangge to the distant country of Zheng, where she lived under the fence at a young age...

This series of encounters made Li Xiangge's heart deeply filled with negative emotions such as low self-esteem, sensitivity... and so on.

This appearance is a combination of these negative emotions.

No one would like this, so slowly, Li Xiangge thought of a way to resolve it.

This is her third face. She pretends to be carefree, lively and outgoing. Anyway, she tries her best to pretend to be completely opposite.

She wanted to become like this, and at the same time, she named herself Li Xiangge.

Before that, she had always maintained the two faces of Princess Jingyi on the surface and Li Xiangge in private.

No matter what she was in Zheng Guo before, she still bore the name of a princess of Chen Guo. Even if the people of Zheng Guo knew that she was not favored, they would always sell Chen Guo to save face. On the surface, it was acceptable to Li Xiangge.

But now, returning home after countless years, the false name of this so-called princess, after being ripped off, is empty and there is nothing left.

She has completely turned into a canary imprisoned in a cage for slaughter.

This allowed her to reveal her true self that had been suppressed in her heart for so many years.

Her heart was filled with unprecedented sadness.

She doesn't care about the false name of Princess Jingyi, what makes her sad is that she has worked so hard for so long just to become that Li Xiangge.

It's a pity that Li Xiangge is a fake, a fake.

She has been beaten back to her original form by the cruel reality, and the current her is actually the real her.

Today's unsatisfactory situation naturally made her miss the short time when she was able to be Li Xiangge even more.

Especially... after meeting that little doctor named Mu Yan in the Zhongnan Mountains.

It seems that only in front of that guy, can she subconsciously forget all the negative emotions suppressed in her heart, and don't have to think about how to pretend, what she shows instinctively is the one she likes and wants to be own appearance.

In fact, since she left Qinghe City, she has been thinking about what Ye Tian is doing now after the separation; thinking about the identity of the other party she has been curious about.

However, since returning to Jianshui City and living in Danfeng Palace, the disappointment and shock brought to her by her former home made this yearning even more intense.

"It was agreed that we will meet in Jianshui City. In a few days, once I marry Nansu, I will never come back. How can we meet?" Li Xiangge sat on the terrace, kicking the lake with both feet. The self in the reflection seemed to be kicking the person she was talking about: "Are you going to break the agreement and be a liar?"

"Princess, be careful!" There was a sudden scream from behind, and Rong'er ran over.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiangge came out of his deep thoughts, looked at Rong'er behind and asked lightly.

"Ah, I thought you..." Rong'er noticed that Li Xiangge's mood seemed to be stable, her mind suddenly relaxed, and her footsteps stopped.

"You think I'm going to commit suicide by jumping into the lake?" Li Xiangge asked.

"I can see that your emotional state is really not good in the past few days, so I misunderstood..." Rong'er said with some shame.

"Don't worry, how could I commit suicide? In a few days, I will marry to Nansu country." Li Xiangge said slowly, it sounded like very festive and confident words, but when she said it, her face But there is a strong wry smile on the face.

"Ah? Do you want to marry Prince Ye from Nansu Kingdom?" Rong'er said in surprise, her mouth opened into a circle.

"How could it be..." Li Xiangge shook his head resolutely immediately, turned his head and looked at the vast and misty Lanchi Lake in front of him, as if he was telling Rong'er, but said in a very soft voice: "Of course I don't want to marry in Nanchi Lake. Go to Su Guo, but since I made my voice, I have been superfluous and disliked by everyone, and this matter seems to be the only thing that I can use to Chen Guo."

"By the way," after a moment of silence, Li Xiangge asked Rong'er without looking back, "Do you have anything to do?"

"Yes, there are people asking to see you outside," Rong'er said respectfully.

"Who, is that Mr. Mu?" Li Xiangge was still thinking about this just now, but now that he suddenly heard such news, he naturally thought of the past easily, turned over in a hurry, and looked at Rong'er seriously, unconscious in his big eyes. full of hope and anticipation.

"It's not Mr. Mu..." Rong'er shook her head and said, "It's Mr. Bai."

"Oh," Li Xiangge replied dejectedly, his eyes sank visibly, and the light in his eyes disappeared, like an eggplant that had instantly wilted.

"In the past few days since you came back, Mr. Bai came to visit every day, but you always thought it was Mr. Mu," Rong'er said timidly, "It's only been a few days since we separated, princess, do you miss Mr. Mu so much? "

"What are you talking about, what are you missing, what a mess!?" Li Xiangge reprimanded angrily, but there was no displeasure on her face, on the contrary, she was much more relaxed than before.

"Rong'er is talking too much," Rong'er responded hastily, but then raised her head and said, "Young Master Bai is actually very nice, and I like you so much. In fact, if you don't want to marry to Nansu, you can find Mr. Bai." Help, with the energy of the Bai family, it will definitely change this matter."

Li Xiangge didn't speak.

Of course she knows that the Bai family has this energy, and she also knows that Mr. Bai likes her.

In the past few days, the other party came to visit every day, just to talk about the matter that Rong'er mentioned.

But because this marriage was the only thing she could do to Chen Guo, no matter how Chen Guo treated her, she decided to complete this matter and not owe Chen Guo any more.

So every time Li Xiangge seriously refused.

At the same time, what she explicitly rejected was also the other party's liking for her.

When I met this Mr. Bai, it was the beginning of the darkest part of Li Xiangge's life.

So even though she knew that this young master Bai was one of the few people in the world who treated her sincerely, Li Xiangge could not accept this young master Bai from the beginning to the end because of the rejection of that gloomy experience in her heart.

She has always been clear about her attitude, but the other party seems to be full of infinite patience and has never been discouraged.

"Master Bai is still waiting, do you still want to see him?" At this time, Rong'er couldn't help asking.

"See you," Li Xiangge nodded.

"It's just you..." Rong'er pointed to Li Xiangge's drenched shoes and trouser legs, which had just dipped into the lake.

"I'm going to change clothes and ask Mr. Bai to wait in the front hall," Li Xiangge said.

"yes."

After a while, Li Xiangge, who changed his clothes and shoes, appeared in the front hall of Danfeng Palace with a dignified and quiet expression.

On the guest seat, sat a tall young man in white.

His face was fair and handsome, his eyebrows were straight, and his eyes were piercing, full of confidence.

This is the most outstanding member of the younger generation of the Bai family, Bai Xingya, who is also Bai Yu's eldest brother.

"Your Highness," Bai Xingya saw Li Xiangge appear, immediately stood up to greet him, and saluted seriously.

"Master Bai," Li Xiangge replied, "I feel unwell, sorry for keeping you waiting."

"What's wrong with your body, if you need anything, just tell me." Bai Xingya's eyes immediately showed concern.

"It's nothing serious," Li Xiangge shook his head lightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Bai, for your concern."

"You don't have to be so polite to me," Bai Xingya said: "It should be about the engagement, there are still a few days left, everything is in time, as long as you speak, I will find a way to cancel your engagement with Yu Wenye. "

"It's really unnecessary," Li Xiangge said hastily.

Bai Xingya looked at Li Xiangge in a daze, and sighed slightly.

"Since that's the case, I won't mention it anymore, but if you want to open it, you can tell me anytime." Bai Xingya said after pondering for a moment.

"No, I've made up my mind." Li Xiangge said seriously.

Bai Xingya gave a wry smile.

"By the way, the servants I secretly called out from the Bai family will come to Danfeng Palace tonight, Miss Rong'er, remember to accept them when the time comes." At this moment, Bai Xingya thought of something else, and changed the subject of the conversation. Said.

"Yes, Mr. Bai." Rong'er hastily and respectfully accepted the order.

"Why didn't you mention it to me?" Li Xiangge frowned and asked.

"This thing was originally done too much by my distant relative, and this is what I should do." Bai Xingya said.

Now the empress of Chen Guo is also surnamed Bai, a member of the Bai family, and belongs to the same clan as Bai Xingya, so naturally there is some relationship.

After the two chatted for a while, Bai Xingya took the initiative to leave.

After walking out of Danfeng Palace, several guards were waiting outside.

"Master Xingya, where are we going next?" The leading man asked respectfully.

"Let's go to Wangcheng, I want to visit the queen." Bai Xingya said.

"Is it because the queen targeted Princess Jingyi?" the man asked.

"I've wanted to go for a long time, but I've been busy with other things for the past two days, so I didn't have a chance," Bai Xingya didn't deny his subordinates' speculation.

Surrounded by several guards, Bai Xingya walked through the garden and arrived at the main entrance of Lanchi Garden in a short while.

On weekdays, Lanchi Garden was tightly sealed, and only members of the King Chen family and the Bai family like Bai Xingya could come in and out freely.

The entire garden is surrounded by formations, and there are several strong guards at the main entrance, which is extremely strict.

"Master Bai!" Seeing Bai Xingya coming out, the guards all saluted respectfully and voluntarily moved out of the way.

Bai Xingya nodded lightly, and after passing by, he turned his head and walked towards the royal city to the east.

At this time, a young man with a thin figure and a pale face happened to lead a wild beast to the main entrance of Lanchi Garden, but was stopped by guards with indifferent faces.

"Who is coming?"

"Princess Jingyi is living here now, please inform me that Mu Yan is visiting."

This young man is naturally Ye Tian.

And Bai Xingya, who had just walked out a few steps, suddenly stopped.

He had heard the name.

Li Xiangge's return to Jianshui City was delayed for a long time, and Bai Xingya asked about their encounters and experiences in this line of work when they first came back.

Naturally, the name Mu Yan couldn't be ignored.

Bai Xingya asked Commander Li, Bai Yu and Li Xiangge.

Commander Li maintained normal and described the process.

And Bai Yu just praised him, mainly talking about Ye Tian's ability in the process of healing him, and his excellent vision at the Wanbao Conference in Qinghe City.

However, Bai Xingya was not very interested in these things. In his opinion, such ability was really nothing, and the Wanbao Conference could only show that he was lucky for a while.

In general, after listening to Commander Li and Bai Yu's description, Bai Xingya's impression of Ye Tian was neither bad nor bad, but only at the level of having heard the name.

But in the final conversation with Li Xiangge, Bai Xingya felt a little uncomfortable.

Although Li Xiangge had a lot of experience with Ye Tian, ​​but for the sake of confidentiality, what he said was actually not much different from Bai Yu and Li Tongling.

But because Li Xiangge knows more, coupled with some influence from the bottom of her heart, talking about Ye Tian in words is completely admirable.

Especially when speaking, the subconsciously raised tone and brightened eyes made Bai Xingya feel even more mixed.

Some things, although they are not spoken, can't help but come out from the eyes.

Both Bai Yu and Rong'er had faintly noticed this.

Bai Xingya has been in love with Li Xiangge for a long time, so he is more sensitive to this kind of issue, so he can see it more clearly.

In short, after one conversation with Bai Xingya, it was confirmed that Li Xiangge definitely had extraordinary attention and affection for that guy named Mr. Mu.

This incident undoubtedly made Bai Xingya's heart a little bit uncontrollably sour.

But judging from the descriptions of these people, this Mr. Mu is just an unknown doctor with a little ability and good luck.

It is indeed rare to be able to produce five million top-quality spirit stones at one time at the Wanbao Conference, but it is well known that excellent doctors or alchemists who have reached a certain level generally have relatively rich resources in their hands, and the top-quality spirit stones are just things outside the body , I am extremely weak, but my wealth is unworthy, and there are no other consequences other than attracting others to covet me.

Compared with Chen Guoxian, who once studied in the holy hall, is now the young master of the Bai family, and is about to become the master of the Bai family in the future, Chen Guoxian Daoshan Xianshi himself is really a heaven and an earth.

The pride in his heart made Bai Xingya completely ignore this Mr. Mu, and after hearing about it, he completely forgot about it.

But today, after he had just met Li Xiangge, he met him here.

Especially from what this person said, it seemed that he still wanted to visit Li Xiangge.

Disregarding it doesn't mean that he can tolerate this person being able to get along with Li Xiangge again, especially when he has already seen that Li Xiangge's attitude towards this person is obviously different.

That Yu Wenye is the prince of Nansu Kingdom no matter what, and there are still a few chances of taking over the position of monarch in the future. That's it, Bai Xingya can't accept it, and has been trying to stop it. However, he has been persuaded many times, not to mention an unknown doctor who came out of nowhere.

Bai Xingya thought about it, those feelings in Li Xiangge's heart were illusory things, invisible and intangible, as long as time went by, they would naturally be forgotten.

So he immediately made up his mind not to let this person get close to Li Xiangge again!

...

Under normal circumstances, people like Ye Tian, ​​who in the eyes of the guards have nothing special in terms of cultivation level or identity, would drive away without hesitation when they approached.

Especially now that Bai Xingya is still by his side.

Ever since Princess Jingyi lived in the Danfeng Palace in Lanchi Garden, this young master of the Bai family has come to visit every day. The guards have seen it, and naturally know that Bai Xingya attaches great importance to Princess Jingyi.

If Princess Jingyi was disturbed by idlers, and Mr. Bai saw it, if they did something wrong, I'm afraid there must be no good fruit to eat.

Driven by this thought, these guards did not dare to neglect anything. In the swishing sound, the icy blades were pulled out in unison, and stopped in front of Ye Tian.

"Lanchi is an important place, idlers are not allowed to enter, retreat quickly!" Several people shouted indifferently to Ye Tian.

Not only was there no room for words, but at the same time as he spoke, the shining blade in his hand was pressing towards Ye Tian, ​​as if he wanted to chop Ye Tian off immediately.

Ye Tian frowned slightly.

"Slow down," a voice suddenly sounded from the side.
