Chapter 59 - Chaotic Sovereign's Heart Crossing the River and Destroying the Bridge

With that said, Murong Youqi's bright eyes darkened. Although he was still flirting with the fan, he still felt a little disappointed.

"Aiya, don't be like that too." It was better to explain: "You also knew that something had happened in the palace tonight, then I should be in a coma due to poison right now. If someone found out that I was on the streets, wouldn't that also mean that I'm also suspected of what happened tonight? At most, this will be the case. I promise that when you have the chance in the future, I will definitely accompany you to eat a cinnamon cake. "

After hearing this explanation, Murong Youqi was relieved and smiled: "This prince will remember this."

Soon, they arrived at the general's manor.

Seeing Hong Zhong jumping down the horse carriage and heading towards the general's residence, Student Bai Qing could not hold it in. A prince does not know about the value of firewood, so this is the only way to do it: "Third Miss, how about our prince help you out too? As thanks, can you take less of the treasures as collateral? All of the treasures that he had given her to pick out previously, she had actually taken them all into her own pocket.

Hong Zhong's expression tightened as she hurriedly covered her own pockets and spoke shamelessly, "Since your prince says that he feels honored, then I don't need to thank him anymore. And these things were all given to me by you, don't even think about returning them to you!" After saying that, she quickly ran to the entrance of the general's manor.

Knock on the door, enter the room, close the door … In one breath!

Whiteboard wanted to cry, but no tears would come out. Shouldn't it be too quick to destroy the bridge after crossing the river?

Murong Youqi completely didn't know that the white board was considering for himself. Although he was a little speechless at Hong Zhong's method of destroying the bridge after crossing the river, how could he take out the thing he took out to take back? He tapped the whiteboard on the head with his fan: "Whiteboard, how can you do that? This will ruin this prince's image in the Third Miss. Do you know that I despise you? "

Whiteboard rubbed his head in grievance, "Mistress, did you not notice? The Red Third Miss is actually using you, and she doesn't even spare you a glance. "

Slap — — "The fan hit the white board's head again, ordering it to put away the cart before leisurely getting into the carriage again. In a good mood, the fan said," This prince is only interested in this little bit of her.

Prince, do you think this is a lowly thing or a lowly thing?

… ….

As soon as Hong Zhong stepped into the general's residence, she sneakily ran towards her bedroom. Unexpectedly, she was caught red-handed by: "Zhong Er, stop right there."

Hong Zhong turned around and looked at Hong Zhan's handsome and strong face. She forced out a fawning smile, obviously feeling guilty: "Second Brother, why are you here? And I didn't go anywhere! I'm just walking around the courtyard! "

"Take a walk around the courtyard?" Red War obviously did not believe him. In the afternoon, a lot of adults gave me some expensive supplements, and the young miss of the Right Prime Minister's family even paid a visit to me personally. I flipped over the entire General's Residence, but didn't find you. "

Seeing that Hong Zhan was truly angry, Hong Zhong quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "I made second brother worry, Zhong Er admitted his mistake."

He walked up to Hong Zhong and made sure that he was safe before speaking in a slightly angry tone: "I don't know how many times I've brought the guards to get out and told you that the Shengjing City isn't safe these days, and that you shouldn't go out at night, moreover, you only spread the news that you were poisoned and fainted in the afternoon, and that you were running around at night. If someone with ill intentions saw you, what good would happen to you? What are you going to use to explain it to your big brother! "

Seeing that Hong Zhan was getting more and more angry, Hong Zhong quickly obeyed and started laughing: "Second Brother is right, Zhong Er won't do that. Second Brother, please don't be angry anymore, okay … "

"You're still in the mood to be flirting!" Hong Zhan bellowed again.

Hong Zhong was so frightened that she almost stood at attention and greeted her. Is there any way to make second brother not so angry? Suddenly, her mind lit up, and she smiled towards the red war with an ambiguous look: "Aiyo, Second Brother, don't be angry, Second Brother, you said that the young miss of Beichen has personally come to visit me, is it that, Second Brother told me that the young miss of Beichen came here today, what did she say to you?"

With his hands behind his back, he turned around, not looking at Hong Zhong at all. "What did you tell me, Miss Beichen came here with the Beichen's wife, and he didn't have the chance to talk to me alone."

"Oh …" Hong Zhong dragged her tone with a pensive look on her face as she opened her mouth, "So second brother wishes to speak to Miss Beichen alone."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" In a fit of anger, Hong Zhan was preparing to teach this little girl a lesson, but he noticed the obvious smile in Hong Zhong's eyes. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked and nodded his head helplessly: "Little girl, all you know is that Second Brother is happy!"

"No, no." Hong Zhong took the chance and grabbed Hong Zhan's arm: "Actually, Bei Chenyue is also considered the most outstanding daughter of the Shengjing City, her family background is equal to our General's House, and she is even more so a match for second brother, a perfect match. I might as well write to father, and we can choose a day to propose marriage."

Hearing this, a barely discernible blush appeared on Hong Zhan's determined face, and he opened his mouth anxiously: "Zhong Er, don't speak nonsense."

Seeing Hong Zhan's shy appearance, Hong Zhong knew that his brother was so innocent. He wanted to open his mouth and tease him: "What nonsense is this, Bei Chenyue is indeed a good woman, if second brother does not like her, then we can get her back to big brother. Being's sister-in-law is also very good."

"You little girl!"

"Haha …"

Qing Ya followed behind the two of them, sighing. The brotherly and sister-in-law of the young master and the young miss were really on good terms with each other.

… ….

The bright moon hung high in the sky. Under a tall cherry tree in the courtyard, a man dressed in white clothes stood facing the wind. His pitch-black, deep eyes swept across the night sky.

The tea on the table beside him had long since lost its temperature.

After a while, a black-clothed man landed gently on the ground, "Master, we have settled the matter that you had ordered us to do. Fourth Prince Dong Heng has returned to the Inn and the Red Third Miss has also returned safely."

"Right." The cool and gorgeous man nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. However, when she heard about the Fourth Prince of Dong Heng, a cold glint flashed across her eyes that were as beautiful as clear light. Murong Youqi, are you living too leisurely? "Let's go down."

"Yes." After returning, I instructed the Umbra to disguise itself as an assassin and lead the imperial guards away from the east, south, west and north directions. However, the Red Third Miss is safe now, as for the Grand Princess and the Princess Yimeng, I'm afraid it will be too much trouble tonight. "Then, Elder, do we still have to care about the Grand Princess?"

He also knew about the matter at the Academy, so he only knew why he met Hong Zhong here in Rose Pavilion tonight. At that time, he did not stop her, and now, he was even less willing to save her.

The black clothed man was left in a daze. It wasn't until Baili Mingyue had entered the room that he finally regained his senses. He turned to look at the leader Wu Hen, "Leader, who exactly is this grandpa's niece?" Why did this lord wait for news of Hong Zhong's safety even at the third fragment of the night, only to receive a single sentence from the victim, "It's also good to teach him a lesson."

"Are you free recently? You actually dare to ask about this grandpa's matters? " Wu Hen turned his head and looked at the new shadow, then looked at him with an embarrassed expression, he patted him on the shoulder and consoled him, "You don't need to think too much about anything else, all you need to know is that the Red Third Miss is a special existence." After which, he gave the other party a look of affirmation before turning around to leave.

"..." Leader, don't go. Tell me why?

… ….

Yanran Palace Main Hall

"Your majesty, the assassin has been captured!" Chu Han threw the corpses of the two black clothed men in front of Baili Yi Chen, "This subordinate failed in his duty, and when we captured him, he bit down poison and committed suicide!"

In the inner courtyard of Yanran Palace, Baili Ziyan and Nangong Yimeng were soaking in a bath filled with ice water. Their arms, necks, and even their faces, were covered with light purple colored marks.

At the moment, they were shivering with cold, their lips were dark green, and from time to time, Xiao Gongnv would put ice cubes into the bathtub. Because the itch powder on their bodies acted up whenever it got hot, and the ingredients for the antidote was insufficient, in order to ease the itch, even if they were freezing to death, they could only stay in the ice water.

Baili Yi Chen looked at the two corpses with a confused expression. Did he bite himself to commit suicide? Just to sprinkle some ticklish powder on the Grand Princess, would he need to send a Death Soldier to bite his own poison and commit suicide? This was simply impossible. The only explanation was that the two of them had taken the blame for someone else. In order to avoid being forced to confess, they had bitten themselves to prevent themselves from being tortured to death.

But for whom?

It was unknown why, but's appearance appeared in Baili Yi Chen's mind. Adding that she already had a grudge with Baili Ziyan, in this entire world, perhaps Si Nvren was the only one who had such guts! But, what does that woman have to do with Murong Youqi? Why did he help her? Didn't that woman pass out due to poison as well? Could it be …

As for the kind-looking Empress Dowager Nangong Lingwei, he had rushed to the Yanran Palace upon hearing the news, and after confirming that the both of them were fine, rushed to the main hall. His charming face showed a hint of weariness, "Emperor, how do you plan to handle this matter?"

"The Guard Captain Chu Han, unlucky to protect his Royal Guard. He had reprimanded Chu Han and received a fine of 80 years. He was sentenced to a fine of half a year." The reward and punishment had always been Baili Yi Chen's rule. No matter the reason, if it was wrong, then it was wrong!

Chu Han lowered his head and accepted the order, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy." As he spoke, he ordered his men to carry the corpses away, and then went to receive his own punishment.

Now that things had come to this point, it was supposed to be over. However, Nangong Lingwei opened her mouth: "Does the Emperor really think that this matter is over?

Hearing this, Baili Yi Chen's gaze darkened. It seemed like the empress dowager had discovered some clues as well, but she said, "The culprit has already died. There's no need to bring up this matter again in the future." To be honest, he really didn't have any good feelings towards his sister and his cousin.

"But what about Uncle?" Nangong Yimeng was the direct descendent of Nangong Jue. Within a single day, both her beloved daughters were murdered, and this was still in the Forbidden Palace, so she should at least give her an explanation, right?

"I know what I'm doing." Baili Yi Chen coldly replied, then stepped out of the Yanran Palace. He also knew the Empress Dowager's concerns. Nangong Jue was her uncle, and had always been a loyal supporter of imperial power, but in the past few years, his uncle, who was below everyone, had already become restless. The Queen Mother was old after all.

After returning to the Hidden Dragon Palace, Baili Yi Chen instructed Xiao Shunzi, "Xiao Shunzi, bring my orders tomorrow morning and have Hong Zhong enter the palace for a short stay."

Xiao Shunzi was startled as he entered the palace... Residence? I don't think he misheard, "Your Majesty, putting aside the fact that it isn't logical to do so, even if the Red Third Miss is poisoned, is she still unconscious? I don't know if I'll wake up tomorrow. "

"You just go and announce it." Baili Yi Chen snorted coldly: "Just saying that Esteemed Empress Dowager hasn't seen the Red Third Miss for a few days makes me miss him a lot. After Third Miss has entered the palace to stay for a while, it will also be more convenient for Third Miss to attend lessons in the South study." He was almost tricked by that woman, and really thought that she had fainted from the poison. With regards to Baili Ziyan, it was just an itchy powder, and there was no danger of death, it was clearly just to tease her a little. Other than Hong Zhong, there was no one else in this world who would dare to mess with Grand Princess.

"Yes." Xiao Shunzi accepted the order. There were also examples of people using the empress dowager's name to proclaim that an noble woman had come to live in the palace. For example, the Princess Yimeng s had come to live in the palace early because of the empress dowager's imperial decree.

On the second day, just as the sun was about to rise, Baili Yi Chen's dictation had already reached the Imperial General's Estate. By that time, the Red War had already begun.

When Xiao Shunzi saw Hong Zhong, who had crawled up in her sleep, yawning so hard that her face was filled with anger, he couldn't help but to admire Baili Yi Chen. His Majesty had calculated correctly, Third Miss was indeed awake.

At first, he thought that he could pretend to be sick and then go to class a few days later. Who knew that this dog-emperor would actually find someone to threaten him and even clearly tell her that he knew she was feigning sickness!

F * ck, did she lie like that yesterday? But if it doesn't look like it, then why are there so many people sending gifts?! He scratched his head and said, "I wonder if second brother knows that I was asked to leave by the emperor. When will he be able to rush back to save me?"
