Chapter 459 Show Your Heart
"Don't go... okay?" Chen Yicong said softly, "Be my queen."

The room fell silent for a moment.

Chen Yicong heard the pounding heartbeat in his chest - he still couldn't escape this reaction.

Chen Yicong heard Bai Ling sighed softly, she looked down at the half bowl of porridge in the bowl, and did not speak for a while.

Is not speaking an answer, Chen Yicong thought silently.

After a while, Chen Yicong broke the silence, "...Maybe I was too abrupt, I originally wanted to—"

"Thank you." Bai Ling said softly.

"what?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your favor." The smile on Bai Ling's expression slowly receded, and her expression became serious, "But this position is not suitable for me."

Chen Yicong really felt a throbbing pain somewhere in his heart.

He thought about all kinds of reactions from Boling—but none of them answered so simply and directly as he did now.

There is no shyness, no reserve, and no tricks that are eager to refuse and welcome, to cover up...

As if prepared early in the morning.

He suddenly felt as if he saw a mountain city surrounded by clouds and fog from afar.

It wasn't until this moment that he finally mustered up the courage to rush into the center of the mist that he realized that the city was surrounded by iron walls and the gate was firmly locked, and there was no intention of letting him in at all.

Chen Yicong only paused for a moment, then lowered his head and began to eat again.

"You have a sweetheart." He asked lightly.

Burling shook his head.

"Then why do you say it's inappropriate." Chen Yicong said softly, "You don't like this place? Or...or there is something wrong with me, and I didn't do it well enough."

"There is nothing wrong with the emperor. It's my own fault. I can't sit in such a high position." Bai Ling said softly.

"I'm too afraid of going up and falling down. To have such a small courtyard in this palace is already an extra favor from the emperor. If I go any further, it will deviate too far from the trajectory I expected..."

"Then let that seat be empty," Chen Yicong endured the anxiety in his heart, and he looked at Bai Ling, "It doesn't matter if you are a queen or not! You will always stay in this small courtyard and do what you want forever, Zhen No rules will be used to force you.

"I just want you to promise me to stay by my side forever, isn't that okay?"

Bo Ling's palms were sweating.

Looking into Chen Yicong's eyes, she felt something was wrong again.

Is Chen Yicong going to force himself to give an answer tonight?

"Aren't I here right now?" Bo Ling blinked, "...Why does your majesty think I'm leaving?"

"Because—" Chen Yicong's voice stopped abruptly, his breathing became rapid, and his brows were slightly knit together because of the pain.

"Berling, don't you understand?"

This kind of worry about gains and losses, insists on asking for a promise.

This kind of forward-looking, humble and pious bitterness.

this torment...

"The emperor fell in love with the wrong one."

Bo Ling looked away slightly, "To you, I have both the friendship of old friends and the respect of my subjects for the emperor, but I never thought that you would be my beloved."

"Then who will it be?" Chen Yicong's voice suddenly rose, "Bo Yi!?"

The chopsticks in Bai Ling's hand suddenly fell loose, and she stared at the young emperor in front of her in astonishment, her eyes full of surprise.

"……Who?"

Berlin thought he had heard wrong.

How could the emperor think of Bai Yi...

"You and Bai Yi are not biological brothers and sisters at all, are you!" Chen Yicong said sharply, "You have been living under the same roof all these years, and you have been facing each other day and night every day, and you have nothing to say! If he doesn't marry, you don't marry. What do you want to do!?"

Berlin was speechless for a moment.

Could it be that Eunuch Huang also told Chen Yicong about her life experience before his death?

Why……?
For a while, Bo Ling didn't know how to refute Chen Yicong's words, she just stood there in a daze.

"Don't you want to say that you never knew?" Chen Yicong laughed coldly, "No one has ever told you that Bai Yi is not Bai Shijun's biological son, not your biological brother?"

This time, Bo Ling's eyes really widened.

...Bo Yi, isn't it?
Neither is Bai Yi! ?

She couldn't describe how she felt at the moment.

That father who is always silent, how many things have been hidden from their brothers and sisters over the years...

Chen Yicong looked at Bai Ling's expression - she was completely caught in some kind of bewildered astonishment.

This is not a reaction that can be feigned.

Chen Yicong suddenly understood that Bo Ling probably... really didn't know about it.

It turned out to be the case.

That's it!

He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then threw the glass to the ground.

"Forget about these words, it's all my drunken nonsense."

Chen Yicong pulled away abruptly, and the moment he crossed the threshold, he heard Bo Ling suddenly shout behind him.

"……emperor!"

Chen Yicong turned his face halfway, and he saw Bai Ling standing up awkwardly, with pleading and fear in his eyes.

He couldn't stand Bo Ling looking at him like this, this kind of eyes scratched his whole heart and made him restless - if Bo Ling wanted it, he wished he could give up his whole body.

He was almost on the verge of asking.

Berlin, what do you want?
Tell me, what exactly do you want?
I am the son of heaven, the emperor, and the supreme place in this world.

Come and talk to me, I can give you anything!

Bai Ling's lips and teeth moved slightly, she looked at Chen Yicong, many words flashed in her mind - who told you this news?Who hinted that you and I are leaving Beijing?What do you want to do next...

After a moment of silence, Bo Ling only felt that his mind was blank.

"...Sorry." She said softly.

Chen Yicong laughed self-deprecatingly, he didn't say a word, just walked away with big strides like when he came here.

After Chen Yicong left, Bo Ling put on his coat almost immediately, and ran home like a gallop.

The day has finally come.

Bai Ling thought about every sentence Chen Yicong said today, almost crushing every word and thinking about every pause.

Chen Yicong was indeed suspicious.

But his escape plan must not have been truly exposed - if he really got the proof that he was going to leave Beijing, then tonight, he must be imprisoned in the palace.

So everything has not yet reached the point where there is no room for redemption.

What the emperor heard was most likely some pretentious words.

Is it Mr. Hengyuan?
possible!
It is very likely that Mr. Hengyuan was imprisoned by Chen Yicong in Qinyuan outside the palace because of saying such things behind his back.

Thinking about Chen Yicong's various abnormal behaviors in the past month, Bai Ling gritted his teeth for a moment——

The date has to be advanced, I'm afraid it won't be until the 23rd Eve!
