Extra Chapter: White Clothes (IV)

Qi Yue paused, and his eyes, which had been bright, dimmed a lot.

Every time at this time, he would stay in the study...

"Then you should rest early..."

Before she could finish her words, Yibai suddenly picked her up and carried her sideways.

Qi Yue exclaimed and hugged his neck tightly, her heart beating wildly.

What is this for?

Seeing the doubt in her eyes, he asked calmly, "Princess, are you unwilling?"

Qi Yue's ears felt hot, her face turned slightly pink, and she hugged his neck with her breathing becoming tight.

Does he want to continue doing what they did in the afternoon?

"If you don't want to, then forget it..."

Before he could finish his words, Qi Yue anxiously raised her head and kissed him on the lips, then buried her face in his chest.

The voice was as soft as a mosquito: "I am willing... I am not unwilling..."

She didn't know why she agreed to him so easily and forgave him so easily, even though this man had made her so sad in the afternoon.

When Qi Yue came to his senses, he had already been undressed and put into the bathtub.

She covered herself shyly and immersed her entire body in the water, leaving only a pair of eyes secretly glancing at him.

Yibai turned his back to her and slowly took off his clothes.

Turning around again, I saw that half of her face was buried in the water, spitting bubbles, and her eyes were looking at me brightly.

He laughed and pulled her up, ending that cute yet childish behavior.

Qi Yue didn't expect to be pulled up by him suddenly. She screamed and tried to block him, but when she found that she couldn't, she stood on tiptoe to cover his eyes.

"Don't look at it yet...let...let me take my time..."

Yi Bai grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips, giving her a kiss. Then he stepped into the bucket with his long legs and reached out to hold her in his arms.

"I've already checked it this afternoon, what are you afraid of?"

Qi Yue pouted, grabbed his arm and bit it lightly.

"No matter, that doesn't count. It's your fault for being so rude this afternoon. I still feel a little uncomfortable now..."

There was a flash of heartache in his eyes. He hugged her and whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry..."

Qi Yue couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and raised his hand to touch his head.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you go home on time every day and don't go to Duchen Temple for ten days or half a month so that I can't see you."

The next second, she was answered with a deep kiss tinged with coldness.

The water waves are surging and the mist is alluring.

…

That night, from the bathroom to the bedroom, from the bathtub to the bed, the two of them never separated.

Until Qi Yue fell asleep in his arms and until the dawn, he did not close his eyes, staring at the person in his arms with tenderness and greed.

Finally, he got up, put on his clothes, and took out the divorce letter that she had brought to Duchen Temple yesterday.

When Qi Yue woke up, the bedding beside him was already cold.

She rubbed her sore waist and called He Xiang in to serve her.

The door was pushed open, and He Xiang was seen holding a roll of bright yellow stuff instead of a washbasin.

Looking closely, it seemed to be an imperial edict.

Qi Yue was in a good mood and joked: "Xiao Xiangxiang, where did you steal this imperial edict from? It was my brother..."

"Princess! This is..." He Xiang hesitated, her little face wrinkled, and she looked like she was about to cry.

Qi Yue's heart skipped a beat and a bad premonition came to his mind.

"What is it? Tell me now!"

He Xiang gritted her teeth and said, "It was the imperial decree of divorce that Prince Consort asked for!"

Something seemed to explode in his brain, and there was a continuous roar. At that moment, Qi Yue could hear nothing.

She stared blankly at the bright yellow scroll, and the sour pain crawled from her limbs to her heart, as if it condensed into millions of silver needles, each of which pierced her heart fiercely.

The pain made it difficult for her to breathe. She opened her mouth to say something, but found that no sound came out.

"Princess... please don't do this. I will feel bad..."

He Xiang's voice startled her awake. When she touched her cheek, she found that she was already in tears.

"The Prince Consort is such a piece of shit! How could he be like this! If he wanted to divorce, why didn't he say anything yesterday afternoon? And he made such a scene. He was so affectionate last night, but he just pulled up his pants and ignored me this morning? He's just a beast!"

Qi Yue pursed her lips and dug her nails into her palms.

After a while, she said in a hoarse voice: "Go, make me a bowl of contraceptive soup."

He Xiang was stunned for a moment, then immediately put down her things and replied, "Yes, Princess."

…

The news of their divorce quickly spread throughout Kyoto.

Gu Qingyu even went to the princess's residence that same day, but was turned away.

Qi Yue never took the initiative to go to Duchen Temple to find Yibai again, and Yibai stayed in Duchen Temple all the time.

After presiding over the funeral of the old imperial master, he quickly succeeded to the throne and became the new imperial master of Dayi.

Qi Yue turned down all banquets, big and small, and rarely attended palace banquets.

The two of them seemed to have become complete strangers.

Later, Qi Yue sent Qi Shen to Qi Junqi's side and told him everything that happened in the palace banquet that year.

Qi Junqi could only sigh heavily, thinking that fate was playing tricks on him.

Finally, the child was handed over to Queen Wang for care, and the emperor appointed Tutor Jiang Lin as the child's first teacher.

In early June, the orphan girl brought back by General Jiang Sheng, Lian Mengyi, turned out to be the late emperor's young daughter who had been stranded outside.

Qi Junqi changed her surname to Qi, included her in the royal jade register, and granted her the right to live in Lianyue Palace.

In August of the same year, Murong Heli escaped back to the State of Li with the help of secret guards.

More than half a year later, under Gu Qingyu's persistence, Qi Yue finally gave in and the two set their wedding date for the end of the year.

Not long after the news spread, Qi Junqi was framed and poisoned.

Afterwards, Prince Murong Heli of Li suddenly visited Dayi with envoys and proposed to Qi Yue in public.

Gu Qingyu was so angry that he threatened to beat him down on the spot, but was injured by Murong Heli's military advisor An Ze.

Murong Heli promised that as long as Qi Yue married into the Kingdom of Li, the two countries would be friends for a hundred years, but if she refused, they would have to fight each other.

Originally, Dayi was not afraid of the Kingdom of Li, but in the past few years, Dayi Dynasty has been hit by natural disasters, which have damaged its foundation.

Qi Junqi was poisoned again, and the imperial physician diagnosed that only the national treasure of Li State, Luoxia grass, could cure it.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was a setup. Qi Yue had no choice but to agree to marry into the Li Kingdom or seek help from Yi Bai.

But that day, Yi Bai closed the door of Duchen Temple tightly, and no matter how she shouted or how she put aside her dignity to beg him, he remained indifferent.

On the second day, Qi Yue packed herself up and asked someone to go to Yong'an Marquis' Mansion to cancel her engagement with Gu Qingyu.

Because Qi Junqi's poison could not last too long, the marriage ceremony was prepared hastily.

After Murong Heli handed the Luoxia grass to the little princess Qi Mengyi as promised, Qi Yue got on the carriage for the marriage.

…

Ever since she married Murong Heli, he had granted her all she asked for, was happy when she was happy, and worried about what she was worried about.

But the only important point was that he never let her know any news about Dayi.
