Hong Zhong, you troublemaker!

After reaching an agreement with Baili Yi Chen, Hong Zhong holed herself up in the Xiwu Hall and thought about her peaceful days for a few days.

After a few days of reading and studying, coupled with Hong Zhong's own comprehension and thinking ability, Hong Zhong already recognized most of the words. When the morning light first appeared, Hong Zhong was using the morning time to memorize the Thousand Words s in the Xiwu Hall's small garden when the Xiwu Hall received an unexpected guest.

Baili Ziyan led a large group of people and majestically arrived at Xiwu Hall. Behind him were a few other people who were carrying a stretcher.

Qing Ya was in the middle of preparing breakfast for Hong Zhong, while Lv Luo was under a tree feeding dumplings with corn, seeing the large group of people, the two of them immediately felt that something was wrong, and quietly rushed over to Hong Zhong's side, watching the movements of Grand Princess.

Baili Ziyan and her group swaggered into the Xiwu Hall. When they saw Hong Zhong reading beneath the tree, they pointed at him with a face full of anger: "Hong Zhong, you have guts! You actually dared to poison this princess' serving maid!"

"Grand Princess, what are you saying? maidservant doesn't understand." Hong Zhong put down the Thousand Words in her hand, slowly stood up, and said while looking calm and composed.

"You still dare to quibble!" Pointing to the stretcher, she spoke to Hong Zhong, "Hong Zhong, a few days ago, royal brother was kind enough to set a banquet to receive your dust. That day, you entered the palace early to live in the Tung Wah Wah, and not only did you win the favor there, you also ordered people to beat up two serving maid s of my Yanran Palace. This matter, the entire palace knows that you don't want to deny it!"

Hong Zhong swept her eyes across the stretcher, then glanced at the other serving maid standing by the side, his expression unchanging: "So what?" Standing there was someone called Chun Lan. Lying there should be Qiu Ju right?

"This serving maid called Qiu Ju, is one of the serving maid s that you ordered your staff to punish. She died today, and this princess would like to ask, can a mere twenty military sticks kill a person?!"

Speaking to this point, if Hong Zhong still did not understand what happened, then she was simply too stupid. It was clear that this was a scheme set up by the Grand Princess herself, to kill his own serving maid and frame him! It seemed like the lesson of the ticklish powder was not enough!

"Maybe... Your serving maid might not even be able to handle it. " Hong Zhong muttered to herself. Since they were here to frame him, they must be prepared! Since she was prepared, so what if he admitted it? With her identity, he would at most be fined money.

Baili Ziyan was a little surprised to hear Hong Zhong's words. She thought that Hong Zhong would fight to the death not to admit it, and sneered: "Hong Zhong, you're lying! This morning, died from poison! "

In the palace, for a master to kill a servant was nothing!

But, if it was poison, then it was two different things!

After all, those living in the palace were all distinguished members of the royal family. Poisoning and assassination were the major crimes that were enough to execute nine families! If one were to say that Qiu Ju died because of Hong Zhong's poison, she could twist the facts and say that Hong Zhong's goal was actually the Grand Princess, but Qiu Ju had merely received it on her behalf!

This way, Hong Zhong's crime would be huge!

Nangong Yimeng walked over leisurely, dressed in a pink long dress, and after walking in front of everyone, she spoke to Baili Ziyan in a soft voice, "Yan'er, Qiu Ju is your capable serving maid, I know that it will be very sad if she goes to your side, but I have to think everything through. With my status as a Red Third Miss, killing a palace maid is nothing! How about you leave this matter to Aunt? "

Before he finished speaking, Hong Zhong laughed sarcastically, this Nangong Yimeng was indeed scheming, with a few words, he said them in a reasonable and reasonable manner, showing his benevolence, but with just a few simple words, he executed the crime of Hong Zhong poisoning Qiu Ju right in front of everyone!

Hong Zhong laughed coldly: "You are merely a serving maid, why would you need me to poison you? Grand Princess, you think too highly of your serving maid. " As everyone knew, the dignity of Hong Zhong in the Southern Qi was in no way inferior to that of a princess. She had only killed a little girl, what need for her to do it herself!

It was precisely because of Hong Zhong's special and superior identity that Baili Yi Chen had become the target of public criticism this time around. Everyone wanted to eliminate her as quickly as possible.

"Who knows who your goal is?" Baili Ziyan's overbearing attitude made it seem as though she was going to prove Hong Zhong's crime of poisoning him today.

"This prince also wants to know the goal of Third Miss?" Everyone turned their heads to look. He was dressed in azure colored clothes that made his posture stand up, his hands lightly waving a ink fan, and his face had the same flirtatious smile as usual. Who else could it be other than Murong Youqi!

Baili Yi Chen had accompanied Murong Youqi to find Hong Zhong. After all, the Xiwu Hall was part of the imperial harem, and although there were no concubines in the imperial harem, there were still two princesses in their prime. It wasn't good for a man like Murong Youqi to walk the imperial harem by himself.

As a result, when Murong Youqi entered the palace and asked to look for Hong Zhong, he accompanied him over. But from afar, he saw the people in the courtyard of Xiwu Hall.

When the furious Baili Ziyan saw Murong Youqi, her expression stiffened, and following that, two faint blush surfaced on her delicate face. Her eyes that were originally filled with anger, became as gentle as water as she looked at Murong Youqi, full of love.

Murong Youqi naturally saw Baili Ziyan's loving gaze as well, but he was simply too lazy to waste any expression on such a woman, and directly ignored her, smiling as he looked at Hong Zhong: "Third Miss, we haven't seen each other for a few days, I really miss you, I wonder if Third Miss has missed this prince?"

Qing Ya and Lv Luo looked at the sky speechlessly. We just saw each other the night before yesterday!

Behind Murong Youqi, Bai was also speechless, but it was still better than Qing Ya and the others. After all, he had served Murong Youqi for more than ten years, so he knew his master's character the best!

Baili Ziyan, who was at the side, saw Murong Youqi's attitude towards Hong Zhong, his eyes slowly filled with the flames of jealousy. Hong Zhong, you slut, this princess will never be able to let you go!

Hong Zhong glanced at Murong Youqi speechlessly, she had already understood that Murong Youqi was such a virtuous person, he could escape with just a few words! No matter where they were, no matter how famous they were, like now!

Hong Zhong laughed coldly: "Of course I miss you. I want you to return my things to me quickly!"

Hearing that, Murong Youqi did not seem to notice the disdain in Hong Zhong's eyes, he continued to fan himself, and pretended to be hurt, and came to a conclusion: "Third Miss is too heartless!"

"Hmph …" I can't be bothered with you!

Hong Zhong chose to ignore Murong Youqi and turned to look at the gloomy Baili Yi Chen.

After entering, Baili Yi Chen was too lazy to bother with the crowd's three cheers. He waved his hand to indicate that he was excused from the ceremony and then swept his cold gaze across Hong Zhong's face before landing on the stretcher on the ground, "What's going on?!"

After being pulled by Nangong Yimeng, Baili Ziyan regained her senses, looked at Hong Zhong, and her eyes almost spouted fire. She then turned and looked pitifully at Baili Yi Chen, her originally bell-like voice carried a hint of a sobbing tone, making it seem extremely pitiful, "Royal brother, you have to make the decision for Yan'er!"

Baili Yi Chen swept a cold glance at Hong Zhong. You troublemaker!

Hong Zhong shrugged her shoulders speechlessly. Why are you staring at me, it's none of my business, I really didn't go out and cause trouble this time, your sister was the one who came looking for me, okay!

"What's going on!" Baili Yi Chen was beginning to dislike this little sister more and more.

Seeing that someone was supporting him, Baili Ziyan felt even more confident: "It's Hong Zhong. A few days ago, when my royal brother held the welcoming ceremony, Hong Zhong was pampered by others and punished my serving maid Chun Lan and Qiu Ju with his staff. Originally, I thought it would be so easy to beat them up after being scolded, but who would have thought that Hong Zhong actually poisoned her and caused her to die. Royal brother, Qiu Ju grew up with Yan'er, and I have treated Qiu Ju as if we were sisters. But you are such a nice and nice person, yet you say that's all gone, Royal brother, you must avenge Yan'er! "

Seeing Baili Ziyan crying so hard, everyone turned to look at Hong Zhong with suspicion. They thought of what Hong Zhong had done since she returned to the capital, sang some unknown songs, flipped over the Chu Family's horse carriage, and beat up the Prime Minister's Estate's second young miss … And now, this palace servant had poisoned Grand Princess, this Third Miss was too arrogant and despotic!

Murong Youqi, on the other hand, continued to leisurely wave his fan, not showing any signs of detesting Hong Zhong's domineering attitude. Instead, he smilingly looked at Hong Zhong, and his intuition told him that this woman, would definitely show him a good show today.

Qing Ya and Lv Luo were already angered to the point that their faces had already turned green. If not for the young miss's warning to them not to act recklessly, and also to see that the other party had the identity of a Grand Princess, they would have gone to beat up the person who framed the young miss. He would never use a despicable method like poisoning to take the life of a small palace maid.

After hearing everything, Baili Yi Chen turned to look at Hong Zhong. He didn't know why, but he didn't believe that Hong Zhong would poison a little palace maid to death either. However, he didn't have any good impressions of Hong Zhong, and he was even very happy when he saw that she was unlucky. Therefore, with this kind of thinking, he was looking forward to seeing Hong Zhong give an explanation.

As expected, Hong Zhong organized her thoughts very quickly and spoke with a cold smile: "One, when I caned Qiu Ju, it was to let the palace guards take charge of the punishment. Regarding this, all the eunuchs and maids on duty on duty, including the imperial guards who were on duty, can all testify to the fact.

That day, Tung Wah Wah had so many servants and guards testifying for Hong Zhong. It was clear that it would be difficult to convict him, but how could Baili Ziyan be willing to let go of this opportunity: "Who said we must come into contact after poisoning?

This is the second thing I want to say, this young miss has grown up in Jinzhou City, Qiu Ju has been a servant since childhood, the two of us have never known each other, and we do not even have any enmity between us, why must I lower myself to the heavens, and spend silver for this lowly slave's life the first time we met? Hong Zhong quietly looked at Baili Ziyan, her sharp eyes seemed to be reminding Baili Ziyan, that day when she first saw her buying murder people, Hong Zhong already knew about it.

If nothing unexpected happened, the original owner of this body would be strangled to death in the palace by someone, and that was all thanks to Baili Ziyan and Nangong Yimeng. It was likely that they had never seen this body before, but the first time they met, they took Hong Zhong's life.

After saying these two lines, everyone's gaze started to wander. In Southern Qi, Hong Zhong's status was not inferior to a princess of a nation. It seemed like there was something fishy about this matter!

As Baili Ziyan said this, her heart involuntarily trembled. Thinking about it, her guilty gaze turned to look at Nangong Yimeng who was behind him. It was a fact that she was arrogant and despotic, but if it wasn't to help her cousin clear the way, she didn't really want Hong Zhong's life.

Hong Zhong looked at the crowd's obviously changing gazes with satisfaction, and her red lips slightly curled up as she looked at Baili Yi Chen with a smile that was not a smile: "Thirdly, I only met Qiu Ju with her that day. If it's the poison that was administered to her by Qiu Ju when she was scolded by the staff that day, after Qiu Ju was caned, she must have ordered the royal doctors to take a look, so why didn't they manage to see it? On the contrary, it took them so many days to die from the poison? "

"Mn, this prince feels that the Third Miss's words are reasonable." Just as Hong Zhong finished speaking, Murong Youqi closed his fan and looked at Hong Zhong in agreement.

With that said, everyone turned to look at him. Although everyone knew that what Hong Zhong said was reasonable, but saying it now was undoubtedly offending the Grand Princess. Fourth Prince Dong Heng, you are not avoiding death like this, is it really okay?

My master, could you please consider the big picture? The Emperor had sent you here to deliver a congratulatory gift, and his other intention was to ally with you, while there are only two princesses in Southern Qi, if you want to marry someone, you have to choose a princess with esteemed status, but, you have already offended the best candidate for your fiancee! Mistress, can we have a good kiss?
