Chapter 67 - The Lord's Heart Must Be Done With You!

However, today they actually said that the government was busy, and did not even have the time to go to the South study. Just how busy was the government to let the emperor let go of that hatred to deal with! "Thank you, Big Sister Mo Zhu. Can I ask if the emperor will be very busy with government affairs tomorrow?" It would be best if he would be so busy with government affairs in the future that he would not have the time to find trouble with him!

Mo Zhu laughed lightly: "Esteemed Empress Dowager's birthday is coming up, the foreign ministers have all arrived at Shengjing City, and today, the Regent is on leave. Imperial Advisor needs to assist the Emperor in receiving all the guests, so I reckon that they will be very busy the next few days.

"Oh." Hong Zhong nodded her head. She finally understood. So it turned out that the uncle had applied for a leave of absence. As such, Baili Yichen was extremely busy with his own government affairs. Thus, he did not have the time to teach him a lesson.

After all, that thing was so expensive!

As he happily thought this, he chatted with Mo Zhu for a bit and his mood was extremely good. He had to thank Uncle for taking a leave of absence, otherwise, Baili Yi Chen wouldn't be so busy! He instructed Qing Ya and Lv Luo to prepare a little heart, while he himself pondered over the details of how to retrieve the catapult.

However, for some reason, he suddenly felt that his body was very cold. Turning around, he saw a woman dressed in black standing behind him. She seemed to be the female secret guard that had been by Uncle's side the night before. Her name was … Leng Ye?

Her face was gloomy, her gaze was extremely cold, causing Hong Zhong to involuntarily gulp down a mouthful of saliva: "What's the matter?" She appeared out of nowhere with a gloomy face. He should have something to discuss with her.

Leng Ye was expressionless. She walked closer and closer, emitting a faint killing intent, causing Hong Zhong to feel a chill down her spine.

Her ice-cold hand grabbed onto Hong Zhong's neck, and with eyes filled with anger, she spoke out word by word, "Hong Zhong, I do not care if you are imperial concubine or not. If anything happens to him, I will definitely have you accompany him in death!"

Did something happen to him? Who is he!

Hong Zhong looked at Leng Ye in confusion. Was there a mistake? Although Leng Ye's expression and aura was a little frightening, Hong Zhong knew that Leng Ye was Baili Mingyue's man and that she still hadn't strangled him to death. That meant that "he" should be fine for now, otherwise, she wouldn't waste her breath on him and would directly choke him to death!

After realizing that his life was currently safe, he raised his head and let Leng Ye grab onto it. On the surface, he looked as calm as before, "If I remember correctly, you are called Leng Ye, right? I don't know what you're talking about, but can we talk? If your master finds out that you are holding me down like this, what would happen? "

Hearing that, Leng Ye's eyes became even colder, and the strength in her hands increased: "You still dare to talk to me about master, if not for you, how could master be injured? If it wasn't for you, how could Master have almost lost his life? If it wasn't for you, how could Master still be in a coma?

Leng Ye's continuous questions caused Baili Mingyue's cold figure to flash across Hong Zhong's mind. He had been severely injured, and had entered into a coma whose life or death was unknown. Today, he was on leave. Could it be that it was because he helped last night that … Upon coming to this realization, he felt the strength in his neck gradually increasing, and he found it hard to breathe.

"Cough cough …" She coughed as she patted Leng Ye's hands.

Just when Hong Zhong thought that she would be strangled to death, a black shadow flashed past her eyes, and without a trace, it quietly landed behind Leng Ye. Right after landing, it raised its Profound Spirit Qi and attacked Leng Ye.

Being struck by that palm strike, Leng Ye turned around and realized it was Wu Hen. Her face tensed up, "Chief … "Leader!"

Wu Hen looked at Leng Ye. He understood this subordinate who had worked together with him for seven whole years better, "Leng Ye, you don't need to protect the safety of Red Third Miss anymore. I am telling Leng Xing to take care of the Bright Moon Tower, you can go with me! "

"This is impossible!" It was obvious that Master had awakened less than a quarter of an hour ago and was now unconscious. How could he possibly give such an order for him to leave?!

Wu Hen snorted coldly, "Are you questioning me?"

"This subordinate would not dare." Leng Ye lowered her head in dissatisfaction.

Wu Hen retracted his gaze, "Regarding today's matter, I will not tell my master. You can leave immediately. Without my master's order, you are not allowed to return to the capital!" If master knew that Leng Ye wanted to kill Hong Zhong, then the only thing waiting for him would be death. Seeing that they had worked together for so many years, it could be considered as helping her, so he hoped that Leng Ye would stop being so stubborn!

Master's order was equivalent to an imperial edict! Even if she were to die right now, she had no choice but to obey! Leng Ye glared at Hong Zhong unwillingly before suppressing her anger and accepting her orders, "Yes." With that, she flew out of Xiwu Hall.

Watching Leng Ye leave, Wu Hen turned her head to look at the frightened Hong Zhong, and a trace of light flashed across her eyes: "Third Miss, Leng Ye didn't want to kill you intentionally.

No one would have a good impression of a person who wanted to strangle themselves. However, everything that had happened today was all thanks to Wu Hen, so she was fine. "Forget it, I'm fine now anyway, but is your master really that heavily injured?" It was so serious that his subordinates had come here to fight him with their lives on the line!

Wu Hen lowered his eyes, his cool face expressionless, but in his heart, he had repeated it a hundred times. He did not have a good impression of Hong Zhong, he even felt that, other than causing trouble, she had no other strengths, but she was someone that his master cared about the most, thus, he nodded his head in tacit agreement.

Wu Hen nodded his head, his tone was not too good: "Yes, I had an internal injury before last night, and when I fought with Leng Yihang last night, my vitality was greatly injured, and I suffered a backlash from my internal energy. Since last night, I have been unconscious!"

Hong Zhong lowered her eyes. Her heart was filled with guilt, and her face was also filled with worry. Although she didn't have a good impression of Baili Mingyue at the start, after a few interactions with him, she realized that he wasn't a bad person. Especially after knowing his background, she felt even more sorry for him.

Seeing Hong Zhong's worry all over her face, Wu Hen asked, "Is Third Miss going to see the Duke?" In fact, in her heart, he still hoped that Hong Zhong would go. Hong Zhong was a hindrance in the dream of the Duke.

"Can I go?" Hong Zhong immediately asked. If it was possible, she would still be willing to go and see him, because she was really worried about him right now, although she couldn't tell if it was due to her guilt over injuring him or something else.

But worry is worry, it's true!

"If you want to go, I can take you." As Wu Hen spoke, he looked at Hong Zhong with a serious expression.

Hong Zhong nodded his head: "Then I'll have to trouble you to bring me to see uncle, we will leave now!" After saying that, he turned around and walked to the front.

Hong Zhong's figure made Wu Hen pause for a moment, and in the end, let out a faint sigh from the bottom of his heart.

… ….

Hong Zhong was brought around by Wu Hen and went around the palace a few times. After passing through a few corridors and gardens, she finally arrived at Baili Mingyue's residence in the palace — Bright Moon Hall.

As they entered the main hall, the servants bowed in succession, no longer paying any attention to her. She also felt that the atmosphere in the Bright Moon Hall was very tense!

Following Wu Hen, they entered Baili Mingyue's bedroom.

After entering, Hong Zhong saw a man dressed in a light blue brocade robe, sitting quietly in front of the soft couch, his fair fingers on Baili Mingyue's wrist, and Baili Mingyue quietly lying on the soft couch with her eyes closed and brows furrowed, as though she was enduring a great pain even in her sleep.

When Mo Chen heard the sounds of people entering the door, he turned his head unhappily. Previously, he had instructed the prince to rest, who would dare to barge in at this time! Turning his head, he saw Hong Zhong at his back, and was startled. It's her?!

Mo Chen helped Baili Mingyue recuperate her body since she was young, and because of some coincidences, she was one of the few people who knew about the appearance of the woman in Baili Mingyue's dream. At this moment, when he saw Hong Zhong, he could not help but be shocked, does this world really have people that look the same as the one in the portrait? Could it be that the prince was injured because of her?!

Mo Chen suppressed the surprise on his face and turned to look at Wu Hen. "Who is she?"

Wu Hen looked at Mo Chen and could clearly see from his eyes that Mo Chen knew of the relationship between Hong Zhong and the Duke, "This is Third Miss's Hong Zhong.

Hong Zhong smiled at Mo Chen, and Mo Chen smiled back, turning his head to look at Baili Mingyue, "Your highness woke up last night, but in less than a quarter of an hour, you entered a coma again. You still do not have any signs of waking up yet." If a person didn't wake up, then he wouldn't be able to take the medicine, so at this moment, he was at his wit's end!

Looking at Hong Zhong's pained expression, Mo Chen's heart froze for a moment. A strange thought appeared in her mind: "Actually, this prince has been infected with the cold poison since young, and after his monthly relapse, as long as I do not use any internal energy, it would only take me two or three days. But this time, this prince used her internal energy five days ago on the night of his relapse, so I have delayed her recovery time. Last night, she actually used his own inner force to fight against Leng Yihang, and even suffered from the backlash of three times his inner force.

Mo Chen's words made Hong Zhong remember that night when he first met Baili Mingyue. She was almost killed by a sword without a trace, as if she was repelled by a force.

Then, he thought about that night when he climbed over the wall, Baili Mingyue had used her Qing Gong to bring him to escape, then she had gone to the afternoon gate … At that time, he should have also been afflicted by the cold poison and used his internal energy!

As for last night, needless to say, it was because of her that he fought against Leng Yihang. Thinking about this, Hong Zhong's heart ached inexplicably: "Then how is he right now? Is there anything I can do to help? "

"Currently, Prince is still in a coma, so all I have to do is to take care of these servants. If Third Miss has time, I might as well try to stay here and chat with Prince." There was no other way. He could only give it a try.

Hearing that, Hong Zhong nodded her head, she then went forward and squatted beside the soft couch and called out softly: "Uncle, uncle?"

"Uncle, uncle …"

Baili Mingyue was still sinking in the darkness. He had given up struggling long ago, allowing himself to fall into the abyss. However, the soft call in his ears cleared his mind. For over twenty years, the only one who called him uncle was that girl!

That girl was calling him?!

As he thought this, he opened his eyes in the darkness, wanting to break through this boundless darkness.

The person who was quietly lying on the soft couch might have his eyes closed, but following Hong Zhong's soft call, his long and curvy eyelashes trembled slightly, and his white jade-like long fingers also moved slightly. In the end, a mouthful of black blood leaked out from the corner of his lips, forming a frightening line of blood.

Seeing that, Hong Zhong quickly took out a brocade handkerchief from his waist, and quickly wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. How could this be? Why did she vomit blood again!

Mo Chen and Wu Hen looked at each other, a surprised look flashing past their eyes. [This woman is really a burden to the king!] Mo Chen immediately stepped forward, and accurately checked Baili Mingyue's pulse. As expected, although her pulse was weak, it was stronger than before, and there were signs of it gradually becoming stronger.

Mo Chen heaved a sigh of relief, nodded his head at Wu Hen, and told him that his Royal Highness had finally survived through it.

"Cough cough …" Baili Mingyue coughed a few times, spitting out some black blood.

Seeing that, Mo Chen immediately stepped forward, took out the long silver needle and pierced it into Baili Mingyue's body. Finally, after some effort, Baili Mingyue stopped coughing blood, and her Qi became much calmer.

Her beautiful eyes slowly opened, with a trace of blankness in them. Then, they closed, as if she was extremely exhausted.

"Uncle, uncle …" Seeing that Baili Mingyue had woken up and closed her eyes, Hong Zhong was a little worried that he would not be able to sleep. In a moment of desperation, Hong Zhong grabbed Baili Mingyue's hand and called out softly.

The warm feeling from her palm made the confused Baili Mingyue feel inexplicably comfortable, and she held onto the warmth with the back of her hand. This kind of action also caused Hong Zhong to be stunned, but was quickly called back by the pain from her hand.

The sensation that came from his hand made Hong Zhong frown, and he tried his best to free himself. However, Baili Mingyue seemed to have felt something, and instead gripped tightly with all her might, as her beautiful jade face became deathly pale, and her brows knitted slightly, as she muttered: "No, don't go, don't …"
