Nangong Lingwei slowly spoke as she looked at Hong Zhong, "Killing people in the National Temple is extremely sinful and heinous. This matter shall be referred to the Ministry of Justice for trial. You are currently one of the suspects, so naturally you cannot enter and exit the East Garden freely. For the time being, you will be confined in East Garden's bedroom, waiting for the Emperor to decide on your decision. "

"maidservant understands." Hong Zhong said, then turned and headed towards her own bedroom.

Just as he was about to pass by Baili Ziyan, Baili Ziyan snorted coldly with a disdainful look on her face. Hong Zhong paused for a moment, raised his eyes and glanced at her, and it was this glance that made Hong Zhong's brows slightly crease.

They were the two little girls standing behind Baili Ziyan, and one of them was the Xiao Gongnv who had come to call Baili Yaoji back then. This made Hong Zhong stunned for a moment, it turned out that the Xiao Gongnv who had called Baili Yaoji back then wasn't someone who was with the empress dowager.

The other one was a palace maid who seemed to be bowing her head respectfully, as if there was nothing out of the ordinary. However, a pink pearl earring was hanging beside her ear. The pearl was round and plump, and it seemed like it was worth a lot!

For such a Xiao Gongnv to have such a precious accessory, it was truly strange! But what was even weirder was that there was only one pearl earring!

Perhaps it was because he felt Hong Zhong's peculiar gaze that Xiao Gongnv slightly raised his head, glanced at Hong Zhong, and then quickly lowered his head, her eyes somewhat dodging.

Realizing this abnormality, Hong Zhong didn't say anything. She only slowly shifted her gaze away, turned around, and walked towards the bedroom as her mind constantly recalled the events of the day, Baili Ziyan's complacency, Xiao Su's abnormal actions, and Xiao Gongnv's evasive eyes … In the end, Hong Zhong set her target on Xiao Su and that Xiao Gongnv.

Xiao Su's performance in the Main Palace had already caused her to faint at the scene of the murder, which showed that Xiao Su was very timid. Furthermore, when the two of them arrived at Yue Lao Shu, they had already heard Chun Lan's miserable cries, Xiao Su had entered the Main Palace after the elegant incident, so it could be seen that this matter had nothing to do with her. But, what was strange was, was that Xiao Su actually willing to take the blame herself!

Didn't she know that if she came out to face the consequences, it would be counterproductive? Was this all an accident or was it intentional?

Looks like I must find a chance to meet Xiao Su!

Other than that, there was Baili Ziyan's Xiao Gongnv. If Hong Zhong remembered correctly, that Xiao Gongnv's other pink pearl earring should have been the one that she found on the stairs in front of the Yue Lao Shu, placed in the flower pot.

For a servant to bring such a precious accessory, it was actually a very strange thing. Adding to the fact that she had fallen near the murder scene, it was clear that she had appeared at the scene before. As a result, the entire matter seemed to have been linked together by Hong Zhong.

What was missing was the evidence!

Just as he was thinking, he had already arrived at the East Garden of the National Temple, where Hong Zhong's bedroom was. The guard respectfully watched Hong Zhong enter the bedroom, then closed the door and stood at the entrance.

Hong Zhong sighed, from the looks of it, she was being grounded and watched, it would be difficult for her to go out to see Xiao Su! Slightly sighing, she found that the elegance that had followed him into the room was looking at the situation with a serious face. Curious, she opened her mouth and asked, "Qingya, what are you doing?"

Qing Ya looked outside the door, then spoke to Hong Zhong in a low voice: "This servant is inspecting the layout of this room, so it's convenient for me to make my move tonight. Miss, this matter might not be so simple. This servant took advantage of the fact that they were not paying attention and had already sent a message back to the general's estate, asking Second Young Master to come and receive you. "

Hong Zhong shook her head: "Qingya, if I leave, what will you do? "Besides, if I really leave, I am afraid that the crime of killing will be carried out!"

"Miss." Qing Ya looked at Hong Zhong with slight helplessness: "If it must be carried out, regardless of the crime or the consequences, I will have to bear it. Miss, you can go meet up with Second Young Master first, and then think of a way to save me. "

Hong Zhong looked at Qingya, thought about how she had previously suffered for him and now that she wanted to take the blame for him, her heart felt inexplicably warm. No matter what, she, Hong Zhong, was not the type of irresponsible person, "Qingya, don't say anymore, I'll be fine, I won't let anything happen to you either.

If she could, she wanted to see Xiao Su tonight. In addition, she wanted to go to the Yue Lao Shu and retrieve that pink pearl earring!

The moment Qing Ya heard Hong Zhong's words, she knew what Hong Zhong was thinking of, and quickly denied it: "Miss, no! This servant cannot let you take the risk. " Xiao Su must be heavily guarded right now, not to mention the fact that Young Miss has not recovered her martial arts yet, it is very easy for her to attract someone's poison!

Hong Zhong knew that Qing Ya was only doing this for his own good, so she couldn't openly oppose her suggestion. Otherwise, this argument between the master and servant pair would last until night! Looking at Qing Ya's stubborn face, Hong Zhong could only agree without thinking, "Alright, Qing Ya, I understand. Believe me, I will be fine, you will be fine too, we will both be fine!"

Looking at Hong Zhong's expression, she knew that she couldn't move Hong Zhong, and felt a little helpless in her heart. She hoped that Second Young Master could come quickly and save the little miss at night.

After the master and servant had been locked up for two hours, the sky had already turned dark.

Evening meal was brought over by the guards outside the door. Hong Zhong was currently forbidden from entering, but Nangong Lingwei did not deduct her food, as the dinner that was brought in also had five to six dishes, and some soup.

The person placed the dishes on the table and left.

Hong Zhong then called for Qing Ya to come over for dinner. After all, if one did not eat their fill, how would one have the strength to do anything? Hong Zhong continued to eat, while the elegance by the side continued to eat, looking much quieter.

After eating a few mouthfuls, the expression on her face suddenly changed. She frowned slightly as beads of sweat started to appear on her forehead.

When Hong Zhong saw Qingya's expression, a bad premonition arose in her heart. She threw down her bowl and chopsticks and supported her, "Qingya, what's wrong?"

"Miss, your servant's stomach hurts, this dish seems …" Something's not right! " As she spoke, she clutched her stomach, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping from her forehead. Her delicate face had also turned pale.

Hearing this, Hong Zhong's face turned serious, and Baili Ziyan's complacent face appeared in her mind. Baili Ziyan, you bitch! She supported Qing Ya to the bedside and immediately knocked on the door: "Open the door, someone has been poisoned! Open the door! "

After knocking on the door a few times, the room's door slowly opened. When he raised his eyes, he only saw a bright yellow figure, with the support of everyone, Baili Yi Chen appeared at the door of Hong Zhong's room. Looking at the Hong Zhong whose face was filled with panic, his handsome brows slightly wrinkled. "What's wrong? Hong Zhong, you were poisoned? " There was a hint of urgency in his voice that he did not even notice.

In the afternoon, he received news that Hong Zhong was being held captive in the National Temple. He had to deal with government affairs in the afternoon, so he took some time to come over to take a look. But when he got here, he actually heard this woman say that someone had been poisoned!

"It's not me, it's elegance!" Hong Zhong could not care about who it was, and anxiously said: "I beg you, save her!"

Hearing that it was not Hong Zhong who was poisoned, Baili Yi Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief. However, he was also a little curious in his heart. After thinking about it, he decided to attribute it to the fact that this woman had agreed to help him be his spy. Therefore, before she defeated Uncle Wang, this woman must not be in trouble!

Seeing the pained expression on the bed, Baili Yi Chen coldly ordered, "Men, bring this servant down to the palace for treatment!" After saying that, he turned his head to look at the dinner on the table. Seeing that the master and his servant were eating together, he couldn't help but frown. "The two of you are eating together. Why is she busy? Are you alright?"

Hong Zhong simply did not have time to care about herself, until two guards rushed over upon hearing the news. She then turned around and looked at Baili Yi Chen: "Your majesty, what did you just say?"

This heartless woman took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. She was too lazy to bother with Hong Zhong, and turned around to look at the people outside, "Men, call the royal doctors to check the pulse of Third Miss!"

Baili Yi Chen's ice-cold face did not contain a single trace of warmth as he coldly glared at Hong Zhong. His tone was as cold as the winter ice and there was even a hint of disappointment in his tone, "Hong Zhong, you are truly a troublemaker! Can you help us save snacks all the time? " He originally thought that since she had arrived at National Temple, it would take a few days for the palace to settle down. But in just a single day, another accident happened in National Temple and a poison incident just happened again.

Hong Zhong simply did not care about his tone of voice or how much he despised her, and asked: "Qingya, will she be alright?"

Hong Zhong's disregard made Baili Yi Chen feel as if the anger in his heart was about to erupt. Did this woman not have any self-protection awareness at all? However, seeing the worry in her eyes, she restrained herself and said, "The imperial physician is also with us, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Seeing her heave a huge sigh of relief, Baili Yi Chen could not help but feel a little curious, "Hong Zhong, I am rather curious, why are you still concerned about the safety of your servants? Don't you know that you are in danger? And this time, you're suspected of murder, and you got dirty and killed! "If you can't find evidence to prove your innocence, you will lose your head, you troublemaker!"

Hong Zhong heard and picked up the teacup on the table. Just as she was about to drink, he remembered that it was the elegant that was poisoned, and had to put the teacup down, so she opened her mouth indifferently: "Find the evidence. You think I don't want to?

Actually, she had already decided to finish this period of time properly before bringing Qingya, Lv Luo and the others and leaving the Shengjing City. However, there were many times that it was like this, if you don't cause trouble, he would always come and find you.

Seeing her careless and heartless appearance, Baili Yi Chen immediately felt a lot more at ease. It seemed that this girl wasn't scared when she personally witnessed the scene of a murder, yet she was still so calm!

He calmly sat down on a chair and picked up the teapot from the table. Just as he was about to pour a cup of tea, he recalled the incident with the poison and stopped in his tracks. Xiao Shunzi, who was at the side, immediately ordered someone to bring a pot of good quality Dragon Well.

Long Jing was handed over to Xiao Shunzi, who bent down to pour him a cup of wine. However, Baili Yi Chen waved his hand, and tactfully handed the teapot over to him, then moved to the side.

Baili Yi Chen took the teapot and looked at Hong Zhong as he asked, "What do you plan to do then?" The evidence now was extremely unfavorable for Hong Zhong. Wasn't this woman always quite proud of herself? He wanted to see how this woman would be proud this time!

Hong Zhong naturally understood Baili Yi Chen's intentions. She coldly glanced at him and saw him raise the teacup on the table to take a sip. It was obvious that he was in a good mood. "She knew that if she was unlucky, Baili Yi Chen would definitely be very happy!" Before maidservant completes the task given to her by the Emperor, the Emperor definitely wouldn't have wanted me to die, right? "

Hearing what was said, Baili Yi Chen coldly swept his gaze at Hong Zhong, a trace of unfathomable emotion flashed in his eyes, and his expression became unsightly: "Hong Zhong, could it be that you don't know that I had always wanted to kill you, yet you are actually counting on me to save you?" With that, he put down the cup and raised his eyebrows at Hong Zhong.

Hong Zhong speechlessly shrugged her shoulders. Although she knew that she had always been at odds with Baili Yi Chen, this was the first time Baili Yi Chen directly told him that he wished to kill him. She extended her hand to the teapot that Baili Yi Chen had just poured and poured himself a cup. She then drank it all in one gulp. "Since Your Majesty isn't willing to save me, then I'll just wait for death."

Seeing her nonchalant expression, Baili Yi Chen felt quite helpless. Just as he was about to speak up, he saw the imperial physician walking in quickly. Just as he was about to bow in greeting, he was stopped by Baili Yi Chen, "Exempt the formalities, let Hong Zhong see, don't let her die!" His words were full of disdain.

Hong Zhong glared at Baili Yi Chen speechlessly, reached out his wrist, and the imperial doctor who had rushed over placed a white silk handkerchief at Hong Zhong's wrist. Then, he placed three fingers precisely on the handkerchief, stroked his beard, and checked Hong Zhong's pulse.

"She... "He wasn't poisoned?" Baili Yi Chen was stunned for a moment and was quite worried. His deep eyes contained a trace of concern. Qing Ya was eating with her. Why was she fine when she was poisoned?!

But when he asked this question, he saw a change in Hong Zhong's expression. Wasn't she poisoned? Why did it sound like he really hoped that he would be poisoned?!

The imperial physician frowned and checked his pulse seriously before speaking with certainty, "There are no signs of poison."

With this, Baili Yi Chen secretly let out a sigh of relief. It was good as long as he was fine.
