As for Nangong Yimeng's goal, the imperial harem's general election, the four great noble ladies of the Shengjing City and the two great Southern Qi s were all popular candidates, and because of the relationship with the empress dowager, Nangong Yimeng was highly likely to be ranked second, while the other noble ladies did not have the conditions or the ability to contend with her.
Hong Zhong was an exception to this rule. Since sshe was born in a Imperial General's Estate, with the support of four hundred thousand Red Army and the protection of the late emperor's decree, Nangong Yimeng would never allow such a threat to exist. Therefore, on the day that Hong Zhong returned, he colluded with Baili Ziyan and planned to kill her.
What a heartless beauty!
Hearing that Hong Zhong was not dead, Baili Ziyan became anxious, and her face was filled with unhappiness: "If she isn't dead, then wouldn't what we did today be wasted?"
Nangong Yimeng, on the other hand, remained calm and only laughed lightly: "Yan'er need not be anxious, not only did that woman dare to slap you in front of everyone, she also beat Shuang'er to such a state. Brother has already sent someone to bring a letter, telling us to be patient, he has found an expert to teach that woman a lesson, we will let her live for a few more days."
"What expert?" "Is that reliable?" Hearing that someone had taken care of Hong Zhong, Baili Ziyan's mood improved a lot.
Nangong Yimeng said haughtily, "I don't know who, but it was said that he is someone who has never failed."
Seeing the two of them calculating himself, Hong Zhong sat on the rooftop, took off the bag from his waist and rummaged through it, getting a lot of things from Murong Youqi, these two bastards are so hateful, which one should I use?
After considering it several times, Hong Zhong finally determined that they were the ones who wanted to kill him multiple times. Hong Zhong did not have a good impression of them, but if they were to just kill him, Baili Mingyue would not go back on her words, killing them would be too easy for them, and since they were going to play, she might as well play with them.
He remembered when his follower next to Murong Youqi said that once the powder was smeared all over his body, it would itch all over. Not only was the effects of the powder severe, it would also last for a long time and would not stop even after 24 hours.
He sprinkled the medicinal powder down from the space inside the room, changed the cover into a tile, and turned over to lie down on his back, lying on the roof of the Yanran Palace, quietly listening to the movements below. Seeing the two of them being so unlucky, Hong Zhong was somewhat unreconciled. Moreover, who would have thought that the person who poisoned them did not run away immediately after committing the crime and still wanted to stay at the scene.
Sure enough, not long after, he heard the people below him make a commotion. First, Baili Ziyan opened his mouth: "Hey, why is my arm so itchy?"
"Me too, and my face feels a little itchy." This was Nangong Yimeng's voice.
Seeing that, Xiao Gongnv immediately went forward, only to see Baili Ziyan's exposed skin turning slightly red, with traces of blood on it. She anxiously spoke: "Princess, do not scratch again, if you continue scratching, you will lose your looks." As sshe said that, he quickly ordered the servants to get some water to bathe Baili Ziyan.
However, he soon realized that something was wrong as well. He could not help but scratch his arm.
For a moment, the sound of Yanran Palace's wailing filled the air …
… ….
"Your majesty, just now, the royal guard sent news that the Grand Princess and the Princess Yimeng are sick." The Guard Commander Chu Han replied respectfully. He knelt on one knee, in accordance to the rules, in the royal study room waiting for orders. Grand Princess and Princess Yimeng had been poisoned in the palace, so no matter what, he had his own responsibilities.
Baili Yi Chen was currently accompanying Murong Youqi to discuss "secret important matters", and upon hearing the report, he said calmly, "If he's sick, you can look for me. Why are you looking for me? Can't you see that Fourth Prince and I are discussing important matters?" He did not have much feelings for that little sister, and as for that Princess Yimeng, he did not have a good impression of her either.
"The royal doctors have already been found and diagnosed, but the royal doctors have diagnosed that the Grand Princess and the Princess Yimeng are poisoned." Being sick is not a problem, but being poisoned deep in the palace is a very serious matter. " The imperial physicians said that it was an uncommon poison, causing the poisoned people's bodies to itch unbearably. All of the great hospital's adults were at a loss as to what to do. "
Hearing that, Murong Youqi's eyebrows raised up involuntarily. That woman used an itchy powder to teach Grand Princess a lesson? Do you have to be so disloyal! The ingredients for that medicine was a type of herb unique to Dong Heng! However... Since she has succeeded, she should be leaving the palace soon. "Since the Southern Qi Emperor has matters to attend to, then I will take my leave. Let's talk another day. "
Baili Yi Chen let out a sigh of relief. He had originally been curious as to whether this Fourth Prince would come here to discuss some important secret with him, but upon arriving, the two of them had chatted nonchalantly. Whether it was right or wrong, he had already become impatient. Xiao Shunzi gifted it to the Fourth Prince. "
"No need, no need. This prince can leave by himself." Murong Youqi said as he left with Bai Qing. Only after the two of them disappeared did Baili Yi Chen retract his gaze. With a pair of eyes that were as cold as jade, he asked, "What poison is in the Grand Princess? Why is there nothing I can do? " A poison incident in the palace could be big or small!
Chu Han withstood the cold pressure that was being emitted from Baili Yi Chen's body and reported respectfully, "Grand Princess's symptoms are the same as Princess Yimeng's. Furthermore, from the way the two of them are developing, the two of them were almost poisoned at the same time. The imperial physician said that this medicine is not difficult to cure, but its raw material was Dong Heng's. So the imperial physician asks the emperor if he's leaving the palace late at night to buy medicine. "
"Then tell the imperial physician to buy it!" The medicine used by the Palace of South Qi was extremely strict and strict. It never bought medicine from the outside, no wonder the royal doctors came to ask for instructions. "And what did you find out tonight?"
The emperor had long ordered them to put up a strict defense. In fact, they had done the same thing, but for some reason, an accident still happened, "This subordinate is guilty, please punish me, your majesty."
Baili Yi Chen's eyes turned dark, "If you continue searching, you won't be able to find him. You, as the leader of the imperial guards, can't be a commander either!" No matter what kind of people they were, to be able to poison the palace so easily and not reveal the slightest flaw, it meant that these guards were simply too useless!
"Yes." Chu Han accepted the order and quickly left.
However, Hong Zhong was not like what Baili Yi Chen had guessed, coming and going freely in the palace. Instead, she had already been surrounded by the guards, but had not been discovered while she was hiding in the forest!
Seeing the Guards getting closer and closer, for the first time, Hong Zhong regretted his irrational act of revenge. Indeed, this act of posturing could not be feigned by just anyone, what about the aura of a female lead, what about invincibility?
Just as Hong Zhong was feeling incomparably regretful, two swaggering figures slowly walked over from afar. Focusing her eyes, the person holding the fan and laughing so unrestrainedly, who else could it be other than Murong Youqi!
He was waving his fan as he strutted down the palace path. The guards who were searching did not stop him when they saw him. They did not even question him. What should I do, what should I do? If he didn't think of a way, it would be found.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, taking advantage of when Murong Youqi wasn't paying attention, Hong Zhong ran out of the bushes and dragged Murong Youqi into the bushes. Soon after, Student Whiteboard also disappeared without a trace.
He only saw a clump of dense bushes rustling under the night breeze. He pointed at the person beside him with suspicion, "Hey, did you see the Fourth Prince Dong Heng?" I clearly saw him following them from here, how did he disappear in the blink of an eye?
The imperial guards around them were probably searching seriously, and did not notice Murong Youqi. They shook their heads: "I asked you to find an assassin, why are you looking for the Fourth Prince of Dong Heng? "Hurry up and find him. If we don't find him tonight, the leader's days will be difficult. Let's not think about living a good life either!"
He followed his companion and continued to search in the opposite direction, but he was still curious, "Am I seeing things?" As he walked, he was still worried about turning his head around to look. He had clearly seen Dong Heng's Fourth Prince suddenly disappearing from here.
As for Murong Youqi, who had been dragged into the forest, after receiving Hong Zhong's warning not to make a sound, he decisively listened to the cat, and waited for the search guards to leave a bit later, before opening his mouth: "Third Miss, what a coincidence."
"What coincidence? I'll be waiting for you here!" Hong Zhong immediately interrupted him.
Hearing that, Murong Youqi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. His beautiful voice carried a trace of a rogue smile: "Oh? Third Miss is waiting for me here? Could it be that after not seeing you for a while, Third Miss realized that this prince's yearning was like a torrential river... "
Hong Zhong couldn't help but stretch out her hand and pinch his waist: "Keep talking nonsense." At this time, he was still in the mood to joke!
Murong Youqi groaned in pain, this girl's attacks were too heavy! But when he saw Hong Zhong's panicked face, he stopped joking around, "Are you unable to leave now?" The Janissaries outside must have been searching for her.
"Yeah." Hong Zhong nodded her head in frustration. She originally thought that his plans were flawless, but it seems that it was still not comprehensive enough. It seems that she still had more to think about in the future.
Seeing Hong Zhong's sullen face, Murong Youqi hesitated for a moment before suggesting, "Why don't I bring you out now and say that you're with me?"
"How could that be? When you came here, the royal guard had already seen you and Bai Dai. We won't be able to escape then. If the three of us are captured, you will all be implicated by me. If that is the case, I will feel guilty!" Hong Zhong immediately opened her mouth, and her words were extremely provocative.
If they were caught together, even Dong Heng would be implicated. At that time, it would not be as simple as poisoning the princess, but it would be very possible for it to develop into an international dispute.
Murong Youqi looked at Hong Zhong, and after a long while, he sighed lightly: "Why don't I go with Whitepole and lure them away, then you can take advantage of the chaos to run out and wait for me in the carriage?" Based on his experience hunting for beauties, for him to sacrifice himself like this, Hong Zhong should be moved to a complete mess. The next thing he should do was to swear an oath that he and would live together and go forward together!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Student Bai Pai's face turned pale. Prince, are you crazy? Haven't you always been a dead daoist friend that doesn't die? When did he become so loyal to the death? Most importantly, why did you bring along such a pitiful subordinate like me when you sacrificed yourself to take justice for a beauty? Do I want to live?
When Murong Youqi said this, he immediately stepped forward. He looked to be extremely moved, but in reality, he excitedly gripped the claws and spoke excitedly: "The Fourth Prince has done so much for me. Hong Zhong will remember this in her heart. Hurry, hurry, hurry up, go out and lure them away. "
This is exactly what I was waiting for!
Murong Youqi was the Fourth Prince of Dong Heng and during the incident, Baili Yi Chen was the best witness to it. Therefore, if he were to be caught acting as a substitute, there shouldn't be any problems.
It was obvious that he did not expect Hong Zhong to have such a reaction. Looking at the empty hands in his hands and then looking at the anticipation in Hong Zhong's eyes, in the end, he sighed: "It is this prince's honor to be able to serve a beauty. "Whiteboard, let's go."
Just like that, Student Whiteboard was brought out by his own prince to be used as cannon fodder.
Just as Hong Zhong was carefully following behind Murong Youqi and poking her head out, she suddenly heard a burst of noise: "Capture the assassin, capture the assassin! "Hurry, keep up …" The footsteps were hurried and the shouts were getting farther and farther away.
Leaving Hong Zhong and the other two behind, he looked at both of them. There was only one message in his eyes: Could it be that there really is an assassin in this palace?
However, he couldn't care less as he had to run out first!
Borrowing the cover of the night, the three of them quickly ran towards the carriage. He got on the carriage and left the palace safely.
Hong Zhong held onto the horse carriage and gasped for air. She and Murong Youqi looked at each other and suddenly laughed. After she finished laughing, Hong Zhong straightforwardly patted Murong Youqi's shoulders, looking like a brother to him: "Fourth Prince, you're really something, bro." He thought that after what had happened, Murong Youqi would protect himself and not care about him. She didn't expect that the usually amorous Fourth Prince Dong Heng would actually also be a man of honor.
Murong Youqi waved his fan, smiling in a dignified manner: "Third Miss is being too polite. It is my honor to be able to serve Third Miss, but I wonder if Third Miss still remembers our previous agreement. " With that, the amorous Peach Blossom Eyes landed on the scooter in Hong Zhong's hands.
Hong Zhong did not hesitate and handed over the skateboard in her hand. "After all, this is something that I have promised, so naturally, I will do it." Take it, but say it, at most five days. "
"Of course!" Receiving the scooter, Murong Youqi asked again: "I wonder if Third Miss is free tomorrow night?"
Ning Mei turned her head to look at him and asked in disbelief: "You wouldn't have offered me to eat cinnamon cake again, right?" And Murong Youqi's bright eyes allowed Hong Zhong to receive her answer. She decisively shook his head and rejected, "I'm not going."
