Do you believe that I'll bite you to death?

The apple flew straight towards Murong Youqi with a sonic boom. Murong Youqi was stunned, then quickly retreated, looking really miserable.

The white board beside him immediately went forward and caught the apple that was flying towards him, then handed it over to Murong Youqi.

"White board, help me keep it properly!" Murong Youqi put away the fan in his hand, turned his head, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration at Hong Zhong: "Third Miss, good skill!"

"You're welcome! I hope that the Fourth Prince can maintain the gift of gratitude that I have given you! " Hong Zhong picked up an apple and fiercely bit down on it. In her eyes, if Murong Youqi dared to bring the topic of conversation up to her again, she would definitely charge over and bite him to death!

"Definitely." Facing such a terrifying gaze, Murong Youqi tactfully shut his mouth. After all, in order to hunt down beauties, he first had to maintain a good image of himself!

"Cough cough …" "Today is the welcoming banquet for the young general and the Third Miss, it just so happens that Dong Heng's envoys have come as well. Although they have already had three rounds of wine, there is no need to stand on ceremony, everyone should drink to your heart's content and return home happily!"

"Thank you, your majesty. Thank you, Regent." The ministers stood up one after another to express their gratitude.

Although this meal was somewhat thrilling and not dangerous, it was the first time Hong Zhong had eaten something delicious, and she, who had been a professional foodie for twenty years, would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity. She picked up the delicacy in front of her and unceremoniously stuffed it into her mouth, not considering her actions in the slightest.

As the young general returned to the capital, many of the ministers came forward to toast him. Red War was exchanging cups with everyone, and the occasional sound of chewing could be heard. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and sweat began to trickle down his forehead. How many days had his little sister not eaten yet?

However, he seemed to be oblivious to the gazes of the crowd as he continued to gobble down the food. His actions were even more crude than the men in the hall. Baili Mingyue, who had been quietly observing the situation without saying a word, now had a slight smirk on her face, as if she was somewhat helpless. This girl, was truly carefree and unrestrained!

It was impossible to leave such a banquet earlier than necessary.

But who was Hong Zhong?

After eating their fill and drinking, they took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to them to greet Red Battle. With elegance, they prepared to return to Tung Wah Wah to rest. After all, a person who had not slept well for an entire day and night was truly very tired.

Above Tung Wah Wah's Palace Road

"Miss, are you sure we should leave early?" Qing Ya chattered on and on behind Hong Zhong. He kept feeling that ever since the young miss entered the palace, she had changed a lot, becoming as if she did not recognize him anymore.

"Shh..." The originally anxious Hong Zhong suddenly stopped, then slowed down her steps, her sharp eyes stared at the line of figures charging in the distance, her elegant gaze followed Hong Zhong's gaze and turned, her heart startled, It's her?

Hong Zhong looked at Qing Ya, and with a look, she understood. At the moment, everyone was at Yanqing Hall, drinking together. What was Chu Qin doing in the imperial garden sneakily?

Chu Qin who was dressed in gorgeous clothes brought a servant girl and hastily walked into a courtyard. She did not notice Hong Zhong and Qing Ya who were following behind him.

Hong Zhong followed Chu Qin and turned a few corners, only to see that Chu Qin had stopped at the entrance of a tall and majestic palace. It was unknown if it was because Chu Qin sensed that someone was watching him from behind, but she suddenly turned her head to look around nervously.

Shaking his head, he wondered if he had gone a little crazy as he quickly brought his servant girl into the palace.

Only then did Hong Zhong feel that Chu Qin was about to turn around. She pushed her aside and threw her into the bushes by the side of the palace path.

"Miss, you're so heavy!" Being pressed down on top of her, she had to struggle to catch her breath. Just as she was about to retort, her face changed as she exclaimed, "Ah … Miss, don't move! "

"Don't scream, don't scream!" Hong Zhong quickly reached out her hand to cover her elegant mouth.

"Woo woo woo …" Qing Ya stammered in panic as she pointed behind Hong Zhong.

Hong Zhong frowned, with such a elegant look, could it be that there was something strange behind her? Let go of Qing Ya, and slowly turned around, only to see an emerald green cauliflower snake, it seemed to be dissatisfied with Hong Zhong and the rest barging into its territory, spitting out its core as it stared at Hong Zhong and Yue Yang.

The two of them looked at each other for a while. Suddenly, Hong Zhong laughed.

Hehe... He didn't expect the palace to be so heavily guarded. There was actually such a good item. The snake seemed to have sensed its own danger and quickly turned around wanting to hide in the grass, but Hong Zhong didn't give it that chance. It quickly chased after him, and under the dumbstruck gaze of Qing Ya, flipped over and over in the grass.

Finally, Hong Zhong's eyes lit up and she lewdly smiled. Raising her hand, she pulled out the cauliflower snake from the grass. She was so shocked that her eyes widened in disbelief. Perhaps it was due to her being frightened, her elegant voice trembled slightly as she asked, "Miss, why did you capture this?"

"Heh heh …" It has its own uses! " Hong Zhong laughed sinisterly.

Grabbing the snake, he pulled out a gorgeous bag from beside him. This bag was brought by all the young ladies of Southern Qi, just like the bags worn by the modern girls. Inside the bag was something similar to rouge, lipsticks and the like. Hong Zhong poured everything out with one hand, put the snake that was in his hand into the bag and tied the bag with the other, then started to inquire about Chu Qin's whereabouts.

But, on the wide and quiet palace path, there was only the summer breeze, sweeping up a leaf and dancing in the air. Chu Qin's figure was nowhere to be seen.

Carrying the bag, he walked out of the bushes.

He vigilantly walked forward until he arrived at the place where Chu Qin had turned around. Raising his head, he saw green brick and red tiles, as well as an exquisite painting.

With regards to the golden words, Hong Zhong felt a little helpless. Her specialty was engineering, which meant that even he herself would not be able to recognize all the simple Chinese characters, let alone the complex characters.

Glancing at the elegant calligraphy, he asked, "Do you recognize this calligraphy?"

"Yanran Palace!" With a face full of certainty, she explained to Hong Zhong: "Grand Princess's name is Baili Ziyan, I presume this is Grand Princess's chamber."

Baili Ziyan?

Hong Zhong's heart skipped a beat. Although the murder incident last night was covered up by Baili Yi Chen's fiction, only she knew that Chu Qin was the biggest suspect in the murder of her. Then, she thought back to today's incident with Baili Ziyan.

Thinking of this, the smile on his face became even more sinister. You dare to set a poisonous snake on my bed? You dare to find trouble with me in the great hall? Humph...
