Chapter 91 - Lord of Chaos's Heart This prince will take you on a run
But just this secretly exhale a breath of air, which Hong Zhong saw with her own eyes, your brother-in-law, how much do you wish for me to be poisoned! Upon hearing that she was not poisoned, she even sighed! Could it be that the poison tonight was not Baili Ziyan's doing, but Baili Yi Chen's?
As he thought about this, he suddenly retracted his hand. "maidservant was not poisoned, why is Your Majesty so disappointed?" His tone was filled with unspeakable mockery.
Hong Zhong's sudden change made Baili Yi Chen a little suspicious. This woman was still fine a moment ago, how did she become like this all of a sudden? Or was his appearance too easy to talk to? With furrowed brows, he asked unhappily: "Hong Zhong, what are you crazy about?"
What do you mean she wasn't poisoned? He was very disappointed! How did he look disappointed!
Hong Zhong turned her head in displeasure, completely ignoring him. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Baili Ziyan plotting to kill him, and Baili Yi Chen had even sent people to poison him at dinner!
Although she was extremely displeased in her heart, she didn't dare to openly contradict Baili Yi Chen. She could only mutter in a low voice, "As expected of a nest of snake rats. None of the people from the Baili family are good people!" She discovered that she was at loggerheads with the people from the Baili family!
"Hong Zhong, do you know what you're saying!?" The dignified monarch let out a loud roar, which resounded in Hong Zhong's ears. Ever since he, Baili Yi Chen, had ascended to the throne at the age of eight, he had never experienced such anger before. He had kindly sought out an imperial physician to diagnose her pulse. What sort of attitude was this? [What do you mean the Baili family doesn't have any good stuff? Did he think that he wouldn't be able to hear her if he said it softly?
Hong Zhong had wanted to retort, but when she raised her head and saw Baili Yi Chen's livid expression, she knew that she couldn't anger Baili Yi Chen anymore, or else the consequences would be dire. Thus, she could only suppress the anger in her heart, bit her lips and stubbornly look him in the eye.
Do you think it's easy for her to cross over? Ever since he had transmigrated, the number of times he had been hunted down and bullied by the Grand Princess! It was unknown where the 'female lead' aura had gone! As he thought about this, his eyes unconsciously filled with a sense of grievance. Coupled with the glimmer in his eyes, it was truly a pity for him!
The grievance in her eyes landed in the depths of Baili Yi Chen's eyes, causing his heart to twitch. He couldn't help but feel pain in his heart, but that sadness was instantly destroyed by the stubbornness in Hong Zhong's eyes. This damned woman, her temper was as bad as an ox's, how could he feel pain? What the hell!
Baili Yi Chen had originally planned to save her, even if it was for a useful chess piece. But at this moment, he felt a peculiar feeling in his heart that made him inexplicably frustrated. He impatiently said, "For this matter, you'd better find evidence to prove that you're innocent. Otherwise, I won't be lenient!"
Even if Hong Zhong had Gold Medal for Free from Death, taking the chance to punish the people of Red House, and even taking back the military power held in the hands of Red House, was not impossible!
"Don't worry, I'll definitely find evidence to prove my innocence!" Hong Zhong was furious, and couldn't help but retort.
Hearing this, Baili Yi Chen rolled his eyes in disdain, "If that's the case, then I'll wait and see!" After he finished speaking, he snorted coldly and quickly walked out of Hong Zhong's room.
Xiao Shunzi, who was at the side, nearly staggered when he saw his emperor roll his eyes. He had served the emperor for more than ten years, but he had never seen the emperor roll his eyes at any other time!
After Baili Yi Chen left, the imperial physicians and servants all left the room. They even took away the dinner they had eaten earlier!
… ….
Night. The moon hung high in the sky.
After Baili Yi Chen left, Hong Zhong looked at the roof speechlessly. She was thinking about how she could lure the guards outside the door and run out to look for clues! Just as she was in a daze, she suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the roof with the tip of her ear. Lifting her head to look, she saw that the roof tiles had been removed, and then Murong Youqi's beautiful face appeared at the hole, his face full of smiles.
When he saw Hong Zhong, he laughed and said, "Third Miss, do you miss me?"
What am I thinking of you for?!
Hong Zhong silently cursed, then looked at the guardians outside with a face full of vigilance. They were still standing there, unmoving. She then turned her head and whispered, "Why are you here?"
"Of course it is because this prince knows that you, Third Miss, have been locked in here. How about it, is Third Miss moved? " Murong Youqi laughed, as though he did not care about the guards outside, and spoke in a good mood.
Hong Zhong stared at him speechlessly, then looked outside the room with a face full of vigilance. After making sure that he did not attract attention, she unceremoniously attacked him, "Murong Youqi, it's so late at night, stop messing around!" She spoke so loudly, she wasn't afraid of the people outside catching him!
Escape? Run away your sister!
At most, they could only be considered friends, and this friendship was only formed on the basis of the fact that the other party was not pretending to be awesome, yet she was running away just like that?!
After Murong Youqi heard this, he sat down on the roof. Luckily, he opened up his fan and shook it: "Who told you that this prince is messing around, could it be that Third Miss doesn't want to come out right now? If that's really the case, then this prince will be worrying for nothing. "
With that, he looked down at Hong Zhong with a smile that was not a smile, and waited for her reply.
Hong Zhong: "Then why aren't you getting me out of here quickly!" This bastard, since he knew that she was in a hurry to leave, why was she wasting time on the rooftop? If she caught her, no one would be able to leave.
When he said these words, Murong Youqi's sword-like eyebrows twitched, and with a "Pa — —" sound, he put away his fan. His pretty eyes revealed a hint of a mocking smile, and his tone revealed a hint of a smirk: "If Third Miss were to call out this prince's husband now, this prince will pull you up right now, what say you?" With that, he waited for Hong Zhong to speak.
Hong Zhong's face darkened, as she asked while gritting her teeth: "Fourth Prince, I have always treated you as a friend. Do you know that by acting this way, you are taking advantage of me? If you treat your friends like this, then I can see through you! " As she spoke, she pretended to be angry and refused to look at him.
When Hong Zhong said this, she was startled, and blinked her eyes and spoke with an innocent look on her face: "I, Murong Youqi, have always been kind to friends, and have never hesitated to do so. I just wanted you to call this prince your husband, and this prince will pull you out. Third Miss, you have to know, this prince is risking his life to exchange you for my husband's name, why not? "
"Hmph …" Hong Zhong turned around and laid on the bed. She also pulled up the blanket to cover herself, showing that she was truly angry!
Seeing that Hong Zhong was truly angry, Murong Youqi was also speechless. This girl was simply too boring, he had originally wanted to play with her, to let her relax a little, but he never thought that she would be so petty, he sighed slightly: "Alright, this prince will not tease you anymore. The guards at the main gate have already been sprinkled by this prince with unmoving medicinal powder, you can leave from the main gate."
After Hong Zhong heard this, she quickly lifted the blanket and came out. "Bastard, why didn't you say so earlier!" She was curious as to why Murong Youqi was talking so loudly on the roof, how could the guards outside be unable to hear him? It turned out that he had been drugged.
"It's this prince who's the bastard?" Murong Youqi curiously thought about it. When he heard that she had been locked up, he risked his life to come here and save her. It was just because he was excited and wanted to climb up to the roof to joke around with her. How could he be such a bastard! After thinking about it, he shrugged his shoulders and quickly descended from the roof, catching up to Hong Zhong.
The night of early summer was always somewhat chilly.
Behind him, Murong Youqi also quickly followed: "I say, Third Miss, can you walk slowly? This prince won't be able to catch up to you. "
"Why are you following me?" Hong Zhong heard and stopped in his tracks, looking at him strangely: "Fourth Prince, do you know what it means to avoid suspicion? Don't you know that I am suspected of murder? If you follow me and get caught, you will be dragged into the water. "
After Murong Youqi heard this, he happily waved his fan. "Since Third Miss has said this, this prince can understand why you're so worried for this prince."
"Worried your head! I was still worried about Bai Qing'er, why didn't she follow you today? " Hong Zhong really wanted to spray a mouthful of salty soda to kill him, but thinking that it would be a blessing in disguise to him if she came out tonight, she was too lazy to bother with him. However, she was usually accompanied by Bai Dai Er, so why was that poor little follower gone tonight?
Murong Youqi kept up with Hong Zhong's footsteps: "Are you talking about Whiteboard? Just now, when this prince was spreading the medicinal powder, a group of guards happened to come over, so I told him to scram and lead them away. Third Miss, rather than worrying about him, why don't you worry about this prince for a bit? Bai Ban'er has trained his entire body full of escaping skills since he was young, and nothing will happen to him.
"The whiteboard is so pitiful." Hong Zhong looked at Murong Youqi speechlessly, and also sympathized with that guy who was pushed out as a cannon fodder. She then abandoned Murong Youqi and quickly ran forward …
"I say, Third Miss, where are you going?" Murong Youqi stuck close, and even spoke in a kind tone: "Actually, where are you going? You can tell this prince, that this prince might be able to help you."
Hong Zhong finally could no longer endure and stood at attention: "Fourth Prince, I beg of you to avoid suspicion, please don't follow me anymore, okay?" Do you know that you're dying of anxiety right now, but you're really noisy!
"Isn't it just a suspicion of murder? What's there to avoid?" Murong Youqi said with an expression of indifference, "Speaking of which, when this prince was at Dong Heng's side, he was often held accountable by royal father. For example, the Third Young Master of Shang Shu Manor had been beaten up by someone with a gunny sack, or the little prince's son had been poisoned … In short, as long as Dong Heng has any movements in the capital, this prince will be the first suspect that royal father will think of! "
"You're so pitiful!" Although Hong Zhong did not want to bother with him, hearing him say this, it seemed that the Dong Heng Emperor was also very dissatisfied with his son. Thinking about it like this, he truly felt that he was very pitiful.
"What is there to be sorry for? The third young master of the Shang Dynasty actually dared to fight with this prince for the champion of the Misty Rain Tower. If this prince didn't beat him up, who else could he beat up? "There's also that little prince of the Residence of State. He actually tried to snatch a bowl of wonton from me that day. If I didn't poison him to death, who else would I have poisoned?" Murong Youqi waved his fan in a good mood, and spoke without thinking much of it. After he finished speaking, he even turned his head to look at Hong Zhong, and asked with a face full of anticipation: "Third Miss, tell me, right?"
"..." Hong Zhong looked at the sky speechlessly, could she take back those pitiful words that she thought Murong Youqi was pitiful?
Seeing that Hong Zhong did not want to bother with her, and continued to walk forward, Murong Youqi stuck close to her: "Third Miss, where are you going exactly, this prince will bring you there."
"I want to go to Yue Lao Shu. Can you take me there?" In the end, Hong Zhong still stopped in his tracks and looked at Murong Youqi with a helpless expression.
It wasn't that she was truly moved by Murong Youqi, but she had just arrived at National Temple today and hadn't completely understood the terrain of the place yet. So after walking for a while, she realized that she had gotten lost!
Inside National Temple's Heavenly Ranking Room
He had just arrived at National Temple, and in the afternoon, he heard that something had happened to Hong Zhong, so he wanted to rush over immediately. However, he was wrapped up by government affairs and was so anxious that he did not even have time to eat dinner. Only after finishing did he rush over to National Temple.
Wu Hen, who was dressed in black, respectfully lowered his head, "Master, Third Miss's dinner was poisoned. Fortunately, she has the Poison Avoiding Jade with her, so she is safe and sound." This was the advantage of the Poison Avoidance Jade. If he took that jade with him, it would be immune to all poisons!
"Yes." He was relieved to learn that she was safe. Back then, he had known about the Poison Avoidance Jade's special effect, which was why he had bestowed it to her. He had not expected that she would actually be able to use it. How is she? "
Wu Hen swallowed his saliva, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart: "Third Miss, you are with Murong Youqi now." After saying that, he carefully observed Baili Mingyue's expression.
"Murong Youqi?" Baili Mingyue paused slightly, as a cold ray of light that was as cold as ice flashed across her ice-cold eyes.
Although he saw that Baili Mingyue's expression was the same, Wu Hen could clearly feel the cold aura being emitted from Baili Mingyue's body. Being by Baili Mingyue's side for more than ten years, he knew that this was his master's reaction, "Actually, Third Miss has always been trying to think of a way to escape after being locked up. It's just that he was too weak to do so." So when Murong Youqi went, it was only to help her escape.
Ever since he found out about Hong Zhong's suspicion of killing someone in the afternoon, Wu Hen had sent out his shadow to protect Hong Zhong's safety, so he was very clear about every single one of Hong Zhong's actions!
"Sigh …" Hearing this, Baili Mingyue naturally knew that Hong Zhong went out in the middle of the night to find evidence to prove her innocence. At this moment, he also had a strange feeling in her heart, if she did not have that much government work to handle, she could have come to the National Temple earlier, then the person accompanying Hong Zhong right now to look for evidence would definitely be him!
