Chapter 94 - Consistency and Bottom Line of the Chaotic Monarch's Heart

When these words came out, Hong Zhong felt an indescribable pain in her heart. She pursed her lips and tears fell from her eyes … …

"Silly girl." When Baili Mingyue saw this, she extended her hand to wipe the tears on her face before stroking her head affectionately, "Girl, promise me. This is your last time crying, okay?"

"..." Hong Zhong sniffed, blinking her eyes as she looked at Baili Mingyue. She seemed to remember that Baili Mingyue had said something in the past, telling him not to cry anymore, because he didn't like it!

Seemingly seeing the doubt in her eyes, he smiled faintly. "This King does not like to see you cry."

"Un, then... I want to cry my fill of tears this time! " Hong Zhong sniffed and spoke with grievance. In fact, she was not someone who loved to cry. In fact, she was a strong woman. However, in front of Baili Mingyue, she could not control her emotions.

She looked at the stubborn little girl in front of her with a slightly amused expression. She stroked the hair on her forehead and said lovingly, "Alright." He had forgotten that she was only a sixteen or seventeen year old girl after all. How could she have the ability to face all these pressure?!

Once he said that, Hong Zhong naturally reached out and hugged his waist, burying her head in his chest. The tears that she wiped off just now flowed down her pale face like water off a dike.

As for him, when he felt the power at his waist, he was slightly stunned. He had never thought that the first time this girl hugged him, she would actually reach out and hold her in his arms, gently patting her back to comfort her.

After an unknown amount of time, the person in her embrace slowly calmed down. When Baili Mingyue lowered her head, she could not help but laugh, only to see Hong Zhong quietly leaning on his chest, with her long and perky eyelashes covering her eyes, her white face still had crystal clear tears, and her exquisite nose had turned red from crying.

Maybe it was because she was tired from crying, or perhaps it was already deep into the night and she was about to fall asleep. It was probably because she was too sad and she was still sobbing faintly.

Hong Zhong's weak appearance caused Baili Mingyue's heart to ache even more. She carefully wrapped in her arms, her movements very light, afraid that she would wake up. As for the hazy Hong Zhong, at this moment, she felt an indescribable sense of security. Maybe it was because she felt the night breeze cool down, the arm around his waist tightened, and it shrank towards Baili Mingyue.

"Uncle." The hazy Hong Zhong blurrily opened her mouth, her voice had a touch of gentleness to it.

Baili Mingyue was moved, and replied gently, "I'm here."

Her beautiful eyes were locked onto the person in her embrace. After she muttered to herself and unsteadily moved, she stopped. He helplessly raised a faint smile, then tightly wrapped his cloak around her, afraid that she would catch a cold.

Hong Zhong stayed silent in Baili Mingyue's embrace for a while, and not long after, her soft and gentle voice sounded again, "Uncle."

"Hmm?" Although he knew that she might be calling him in her sleep, he still answered gently. In fact, when he saw how dependent she was on him when she was weak, he couldn't help but feel a sense of softness in his heart.

However, this time, Hong Zhong called him over and said, "Uncle, you're really very good to me. You're much better than that bastard Baili Yi Chen." Obviously, Hong Zhong who was in her sleep had thought about the fight with Baili Yi Chen previously. That bastard actually wanted him to be poisoned, that was extremely detestable.

Hearing this, Baili Mingyue looked at the sleeping person and chuckled, "Perhaps, it is already destined for me to protect the girl for the rest of my life, so I will naturally treat you well." Her voice was deep and elegant, but it was no longer cold. However, there was a sense of helplessness in her heart. Protecting her for the rest of her life … with his body, could he do it?!

Such a tone could only be described as ambiguous!

If he was in a sober state, Hong Zhong might have felt embarrassed, but not only did the sleeping Hong Zhong not feel embarrassed, he even unwittingly asked: "Uncle, do you mean what you say?"

— Perhaps it was already destined to protect the girl forever, so naturally, I would treat you well.

— Uncle, do you mean what you say?

He had lived for twenty-eight years and had never thought that he would say such vague words one day. He was curious as to why he had said those words so casually, but he looked at the person in his embrace with a serious expression and heaved a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that she had fallen asleep, otherwise, both parties would have surely been embarrassed to death!

Hugging her tighter, a clear and cold voice slowly sounded. It was as if she was talking to herself, but also as if she was replying to Hong Zhong. "It's fine."

With that, he steeled his heart. No matter what, in order to protect her life, he had to survive. He definitely could!

She looked towards a certain place in National Temple that was shrouded in darkness. She was one of the few sons of the Baili family, and was normally arrogant and despotic, he could tolerate her and treat her ruthlessly.

But, if she was going to deal with Hong Zhong, then it would be a different story!

… ….

The first rays of the morning sun broke through the horizon, and everything was quiet. The first rays of dawn lit up the sky, and the night was about to fade away. The first rays of dawn slowly woke up the sleeping creatures.

The woman in the man's arms moved. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly. Then, with a frown, she opened her hazy eyes. Her watery eyes looked around in confusion, appearing extremely adorable.

"Where is this place?" Hong Zhong looked at the dusky sky, and from time to time, the clear sounds of birds could be heard. It was clear that dawn was about to arrive.

"You're awake?" Baili Mingyue asked gently.

"Yes." Hong Zhong turned her head, only to see Baili Mingyue's exquisite chin, only then did she realise that she was currently cuddled in the embrace of a man, and very quickly, the scene of her crying in Baili Mingyue's embrace last night surfaced in her mind …

Her face turned slightly red. If she remembered correctly, she had been maintaining this posture for the whole night in Baili Mingyue's embrace. She also seemed to have dreamt of talking to Baili Mingyue while still sleeping.

— Perhaps it was already destined to protect the girl forever, so naturally, I would treat you well.

— Uncle, do you mean what you say?

Oh, the one who buys the cake, this looks so urgent and can't wait, really is too f * cking shameful!

Perhaps seeing Hong Zhong's awkwardness, Baili Mingyue smiled: "Girl, are you alright?"

"I, don't worry, I'll be right up." Hong Zhong said with a red face and then stood up. However, the moment he stood up, he felt his legs go numb, and he almost fell down.

It was fortunate that Baili Mingyue was quick to react and helped her up. Only then did she manage to stabilize herself, "I'm sorry, my legs are numb." With that, he took a step back and lowered his head as his gaze shifted left and right. He was too embarrassed to look at Baili Mingyue's goddess-like face again. He couldn't possibly tell him that she had just had a dream last night, and that he had said some ambiguous words, right?

In fact, she was also very curious. It was fine if she was dreaming a few days ago, but why was she having these dreams again and again? Could it be that she subconsciously wished uncle to tell her this? As he thought this, he took a furtive glance at Baili Mingyue.

Her black hair was like silk, falling down to her waist, gently swaying in the morning wind. Her sleeves and gauze that fluttered in the air formed a beautiful scenery. At this moment, he was like an immortal walking out of a painting, calm and elegant without a speck of dust on his face.

Hong Zhong was a little absent-minded when she saw his posture. In the past, they had only seen him at night most of the time. Occasionally, they would meet once or twice during the day, so they didn't pay much attention to him.

At this moment, she had to admit that it was quite normal for Baili Mingyue to appear in her dreams. Because with his unique appearance, he was definitely someone worthy of a woman's dream!

Seeing her slightly dazed face, Baili Mingyue smiled, "What's wrong with that girl?" The voice was still cold, but it had an additional tenderness to it that belonged to the human world.

"Nope." Hong Zhong shook her head and anxiously denied. Even if she was beaten to death, she wouldn't admit it. She would look at a man and be stupefied when she saw him! " "Thank you for last night."

Baili Mingyue looked at Hong Zhong's embarrassed appearance, and could not help but chuckle, nodding: "Mmm. What are you going to do? " After all, even though Xiao Su was dead, she definitely wouldn't let go of her so easily.

Hong Zhong also knew what Baili Mingyue was talking about and she shook her head indifferently, "That bastard Baili Yi Chen, wishes for me to die so badly. I won't let him achieve his wish so quickly. If it really isn't possible, I'll write to my father and ask him to rush back and save me. "

It was impossible for Baili Yi Chen to kill Hong Zhong for such a trifling matter, how could he possibly wish for her to die? "Little girl, although Yi Chen has said more than once that he wants to kill you, his nature is not bad. I hope you don't mind, even though he is the ruler of a country, he is still the ruler of a country, the ruler of a country. He will have his difficulties and helplessness, so I hope you can understand him a little."

No matter what, he did not want this girl's relationship with Yi Chen to reach an extreme. After all, four hundred thousand Red Army s was a considerable amount of power to both the Southern Qi and the Baili Royal Family.

"Actually, I also know that he is the Emperor. He has his difficulties and his helplessness, I also know that the peace and prosperity of the entire Southern Qi is related to him, and the safety of the citizens are all closely related to him. I also do not wish to offend him, but his actions are really vile!" While talking, Hong Zhong's tone of voice had become somewhat gnashing between teeth. That bastard, yesterday she was cursing herself for not being poisoned.

"Hehe …" Seeing the discontent on Hong Zhong's face, Baili Mingyue softly said: "Girl, since you know about his difficulties and helplessness, don't you think that Yi Chen is actually a good person?" For some reason, he was eager to confirm the position of Yi Chen in her heart.

Hong Zhong rolled her eyes at him. She wanted to retort, but she discovered that there was a smile in his eyes along with a hint of expectation, so she couldn't really say anything. She tilted her head and thought: "Actually, that bastard's looks aren't bad.

"Is that so?" He didn't know why, but he really wanted to hear the answer she told him. But after he heard it, his heart was slowly sinking. Did she really think Yi Chen was not bad?

Hong Zhong thought for a moment, then said with certainty: "Indeed, it's not bad." Wasn't it enough for her to die hundreds of times when she had offended him? However, wasn't she still alive and well? Although Baili Yi Chen's behavior was extremely vile to a certain degree, if it was him, she would've already thought of ways to kill that person. Thinking about it this way, Baili Yi Chen was no longer as despicable as before!

"Then …" He had only said one word when he paused and thought for a while. In the end, he still felt that he should explain everything earlier, even if this result was something he didn't want to see. "Then, girl, will you like him?"

"Nope." Hong Zhong answered with no hesitation at all.

"..." Wouldn't it? Then …

Perhaps because he saw Baili Mingyue's doubt, Hong Zhong welcomed the morning light with a smile as he gazed at the distant mountain peak. However, he had never been more serious than before, "Uncle, you also said that he's the emperor, he has his own difficulties and he has his own helplessness.

When he heard what she said, he was stunned. He had not expected that this little girl would actually have her own bottom line and perseverance. Then what was her bottom line?

"Although he is the emperor, he possesses supreme authority and an unparalleled honorable status. However, he cannot give me the feelings I want!" Although Hong Zhong occasionally looked like she was in a daze, but in matters of relationships, she knew and understood what she had to understand!

Baili Mingyue paused, feeling curious, "Girl, what do you want?"

Hong Zhong was silent for a moment, before speaking with certainty: "I feel that love is a matter for two people, regardless of whether it's in my previous life or this life, what I hate the most are third parties. In this life, the relationship I want can only be one and only, and I absolutely cannot accept working with others — this is my bottom line and perseverance. If I were to ask, as the ruler of a nation like Baili Yi Chen, how could you allow me to live my entire life with my head tied behind my back? How can you allow me to hold the hand of an emperor and stay together forever? "
