Chapter 46 - Unordered Monarch's Heart Carrying and Trapping
And the originally cold and proud person's face had become blank the moment Hong Zhong smashed his chest. Originally, he didn't want her to fall and pull him back, but at this moment … Her arms were tightly wrapped around his waist, her face was pressed against his chest, but he felt his heart miss a beat.
The scene seemed to have returned to the dream that had been haunting her for decades. The girl with the beautiful face was smiling sweetly at him. She wanted to reach out and grab him, but she couldn't. In the end, she slowly drifted away …
Seeing the familiar face in her bosom, Baili Mingyue raised her hands in an attempt to embrace the person in her embrace. However, she became stunned in midair, afraid that the person before her would leave her as if she was in a dream.
Her slender jade-like hands slowly descended and lightly rested on Hong Zhong's back. As if she was touching a precious treasure, she gently and exceptionally careful.
This time, he really touched it.
This time, it did not disappear.
Lowering her eyes to look at the person in her embrace, Baili Mingyue inexplicably felt that this feeling was very good. Awesome, even though she knew that she was the personally bestowed by the late emperor, he still didn't want to push her away!
"Bang, bang, bang!" A steady, powerful heartbeat sounded in his ears.
Only now did Hong Zhong come to her senses, she actually hugged a man's waist out of panic! She let go of Baili Mingyue's waist and shot her away as if he had been electrocuted. She lowered her head and looked around, clearly feeling guilty, "I didn't do it on purpose!" [Oh my god. I have lost all my face today.]
His arms were empty, and his heart was empty. Baili Mingyue reluctantly withdrew her gaze, and in the end, she slowly walked back to her original position and calmly said: "It's nothing." Her tone was cold, and she didn't understand why she couldn't help it.
Baili Mingyue's slightly furrowed brows caused Hong Zhong's heart to ache for no reason. The feeling this man's condition gave her was not very good. As he thought about it, he walked forward: "Uncle, why are you here? Do you also think that banquet or something is really boring? "
Baili Mingyue turned to look at Hong Zhong's pair of innocent eyes. Bored?
Hearing Hong Zhong call her "Uncle", Baili Mingyue couldn't tell how she felt. It wasn't very good anyway, but when she thought again, since she was the late emperor's personal imperial concubine, she was Yi Chen's concubine. She was indeed inferior to him by a generation, so this "Uncle" was something she could bear.
However... Was he really that old?
Seeing the puzzled look on Baili Mingyue's face, Hong Dou thought that he did not understand her words, "Don't tell me that you don't find the Imperial Palace very boring? Every day, there would be a large group of women attending this banquet together. That banquet, why couldn't they do it, why couldn't they do it … In short, this palace is too boring. "
Baili Mingyue nodded, "It's indeed a little boring." There was an indescribable heaviness in her tone. After she finished speaking, a self-deprecating smile appeared on her beautiful face. Even if it was, so what if it was boring? He could only stay here and not go anywhere.
Sensing the heaviness in Baili Mingyue's tone, Hong Zhong generously patted his shoulder: "Uncle, I can understand your feelings! However, you may not be able to understand my feelings! " So, you actually don't need to be so sad, because at least there's someone else who understands you, and I'm even more miserable than you!
Baili Mingyue turned to look at Hong Zhong, not saying a word, but his gaze was fixated on the claw that was always on's shoulder. She said she could understand his feelings, but he couldn't understand hers.
Only after following Baili Mingyue's gaze, did Hong Zhong discover that Baili Mingyue was staring at his claws, and quickly retracted them. Seeing that he was not angry, but instead had an expression of waiting for her to speak, Hong Zhong then explained: "The Regent's Alliance is the ruler of the country. As for monarchs, they naturally place importance on the lives of the world's people, and the well-being of the common people as their priority.
"In the royal family, it seems like you have enjoyed the most noble treatment in the world. However, the responsibilities you bear are much greater for the commoners. As for the commoners, although they appeared humble, they were happy and happy to do whatever they wanted. I, on the other hand, am originally just a commoner, but I cannot be like them, because I bear the burden of many people's lives and futures. Perhaps this is what God gave you in your dreams, and he will take something of equivalent value from you as a drag. And something of equivalent value, may be money, may be freedom, or may be the happiness of a lifetime … " It was just like the current her, living a new life. The heavens had given her the warmth and affection she yearned for day and night.
At the same time, she had also decided to keep worrying about him.
Baili Mingyue's beautiful eyes quietly swept across Hong Zhong, her heart was shaken by her words just now. She did not expect that the person who was just saying that he would do as he pleased last night would actually have such an idea in his heart. However, what she said wasn't unreasonable. The heavens gave you a dream, but at the same time, you would also have to bear some burdens.
Thinking about that, he faintly sighed, looked at the empty space in front of him, and muttered: "What's wrong with carrying something? As long as he put in the effort today, it would not be in vain. So what's the harm in working hard now? " Her cold gaze swept through the empty sky and floated to a distance away …
Due to him speaking softly, Hong Zhong didn't hear what he said clearly. Frowning, he asked: "Uncle, what did you say?"
As his thoughts were pulled back, he smiled lightly and shook his head. Although she was smiling, a hint of melancholy could still be seen between her brows.
That slight frown made Hong Zhong unable to bear it for no reason. Why was the rumored him so different from the real him? Which one of them was the real him? Just what kind of matter could cause such a powerful and influential person to frown?
With this thought, he sat down on the stool opposite Baili Mingyue, "Uncle, since we're so fated, why don't I guess what the Regent is thinking?"
Baili Mingyue did not speak, but turned to look at Hong Zhong. The gloom in her eyes lessened, but it was replaced with a hint of interest, as she was obviously looking forward to Hong Zhong's words.
"But let's say this first, I did not guess for nothing. If I guessed right, the Regent will reward Hong Zhong." Hong Zhong said with a serious face.
Seeing Hong Zhong's serious face, Baili Mingyue nodded: "Alright!"
Hong Zhong glanced at the empty pavilion and said: "The Regent is missing a person here."
Baili Mingyue didn't reply, only silently nodding her head.
"The Regent was thinking of a woman." Hong Zhong continued to speak with certainty. This is because the Rose Pavilion doesn't sound like a place where men live. "
Hong Zhong continued to speak: "If I'm not mistaken, this person must be a very beautiful woman. Furthermore, to the Regent, she is very important, is she your most beloved woman?"
