Before Huyan Ruijin even sat down, she saw Hong Li who was seated opposite him. She also knew about Hong Li. After all, Hong Li's enormous commercial empire held a decisive and important place in Xi Ling. He nodded at him and said, "Brother Hong, it's my pleasure to meet you."

Hong Li's face had a formal smile on it, and also greeted back: "I never expected to be able to meet Prince Jin Xi Ling here, it's nice to meet you." With that, he nodded at Murong Youqi, treating his well.

Since there was no wine at the National Temple, Murong Youqi laughed, then picked up the teacup beside him and gave a respectful salute towards Hong Li. Hong Li, no matter whether it was in terms of calmness or meticulousness, was a person worthy of respect.

When everyone finished their greetings, Baili Yi Chen, Hong Li, Huyan Ruijin and even Dong Heng's Feng Liu Prince, were all famous and beautiful men of the Navy Tide Continent. Adding on to that, there were a few women with outstanding appearances, their appearances were truly pleasing to the eyes.

When everyone had settled down, Baili Yi Chen said, "Since almost everyone is here, Hong Zhong, what do you have to say about your servant, Xiao Su, killing Grand Princess's slave girl, Chun Lan?"

, who was originally lowering his head, suddenly raised his head when Baili Yi Chen called out to him like this. He looked around at the strange gazes that came in from all directions, and in the end, his gaze landed on Xia Yue who was behind Grand Princess. After pausing for a moment, he slowly spoke, "Since Xiao Su has admitted that it was her who did this, maidservant does not have anything to say. maidservant believes that the Emperor will surely handle this matter impartially. "

Before Baili Yi Chen could speak, Baili Ziyan, who was at the side, was unable to hold back and was the first to speak, "You speak quite lightly, Third Miss, it can't be that you don't know that Xiao Su died last night, right? This princess wants to know how you want Imperial Brother to deal with him?" How could she deal with them now that they were all dead?

Once she said that, Baili Yi Chen and Hong Zhong looked at her in displeasure. After Baili Ziyan finished speaking, she cast a glance at Murong Youqi who was standing opposite to him. The infatuation on her face was simply beyond words.

Baili Yi Chen's eyes narrowed, he could guess that Baili Ziyan had set her eyes on Murong Youqi, which was why she wanted to show off her skills in a place with Murong Youqi here. However, it was obvious that what she was doing was the opposite.

Hong Zhong looked at her but did not say a word.

Baili Ziyan looked at Hong Zhong and did not speak. Instead, she continued to speak complacently: "Or, Hong Zhong, you knew Xiao Su was dead last night. Or perhaps, Xiao Su was simply killed by you to silence everyone? "

Indeed, with Xiao Su dead, the case could not be proven!

But it also added another suspicion for Hong Zhong! After all, Xiao Su was Hong Zhong's servant, so it was understandable for him to be ordered by Hong Zhong to replace the crime of killing people.

Hearing this, Hong Zhong said coldly: "Let's not talk about whether or not Chun Lan was truly killed by Xiao Su. Even if it is so, what Grand Princess said is true. Grand Princess has always suspected that the mastermind was me, and I hope that Grand Princess can produce evidence. If you cannot give me evidence, it means that maidservant is the one who instigated Xiao Su to take the blame for this, then maidservant cannot admit her mistake! "

Hearing this, Baili Ziyan coldly snorted: "Xiao Su is already dead, who knows if you killed him to keep her mouth shut? Hong Zhong, you are really vicious, not only did you kill this princess' serving maid, you even made your own servant girl take the blame, and even killed them to silence them! "

Hearing Baili Ziyan's words, Hong Zhong felt a burst of anger rising uncontrollably from within his heart. Xiao Su's death, although it was Xiao Su's own choice, was also the pain in his heart. Hong Zhong had always thought that if she did not go to find Xiao Su last night, Xiao Su might not have committed suicide. And the Baili Ziyan who caused all of this, could actually confidently and confidently stand in front of him and scold herself! " Grand Princess, I am indeed clear in my heart how Xiao Su died. But, only the Grand Princess knows of Chun Lan's death, right? "

"What do you mean!" After Baili Ziyan heard this, his face was filled with anger.

After Hong Zhong heard this, she sneered: "What do you mean by that? Why don't you ask Xia Yue and Dong Mei, the two ladies behind Grand Princess?"

"You!" "When Baili Ziyan said the names of Dong Mei and Xia Yue, she could not help but become anxious. You slut, what nonsense are you spouting! "

"Enough!" Baili Yi Chen's shout made Baili Ziyan, who was about to curse at him, pause, and look at his livid face. Baili Ziyan unwillingly shut his mouth. After seeing Baili Ziyan shut up, Baili Yi Chen looked at Hong Zhong, "Hong Zhong, speak!"

"It's the Emperor!" Hong Zhong stood up and walked to the center with every step. She glanced at Grand Princess and said, "Yesterday, after finishing lunch, maidservant was invited by Princess Yao Ji to go to National Temple to request for her signature. However, halfway through, Princess Yao Ji was called away by someone, who said that Esteemed Empress Dowager and Princess had something to discuss with each other."

Right after Hong Zhong finished speaking, Nangong Lingwei shook her head: "Wailing Home and Grandmaster Clear Void had a conversation yesterday afternoon about wishing for good fortune, when did you announce Yao Ji? This is simply a dream! "

The moment Hong Zhong's voice fell, everyone's gaze turned to look at Baili Ziyan and Dong Mei who was behind her. Dong Mei looked at Hong Zhong and only felt that Hong Zhong's eyes were flickering with a trace of an intimidating light, causing her to quickly lower her head, not daring to meet Hong Zhong's gaze.

Hong Zhong smiled, "Perhaps, we need Princess Yao Ji to confront Miss Dong Mei for a bit?"

Hearing that, Baili Ziyan slapped the table, and stood up with a face full of anger: "Hong Zhong, don't you slander me with your blood! You wrongly accused this princess and serving maid, what are your intentions! " As she finished speaking, and facing Hong Zhong's forceful gaze, her tone was unconsciously lacking in confidence.

The atmosphere in the hall immediately became a bit stifling, and the crowd seemed to see sparks flying everywhere, both Hong Zhong and Baili Ziyan were burning with crackling sounds. Just at this moment, a clear and cold voice that sounded like nature itself sounded out, "A dignified princess of a nation making such a ruckus in the hall, what about it!"

With that, a white figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.

Everyone turned their heads, only to see that it was Baili Mingyue. With a face as beautiful as a crown jade, a pair of eyes as beautiful as clear as jade had an unreadable look in their eyes as they quietly stared at the person within the great hall. Finally, after a short pause, the look in their eyes slowly shifted away.

In response to his light smile, she quickly shifted her gaze away. Using the corner of her eyes, Hong Zhong also noticed that the corners of Baili Mingyue's mouth slightly lifted, revealing a dazzling light smile.

Too beautiful! Hong Zhong could not help but sigh with jealousy and envy from the bottom of her heart. Thinking back to the scene where she was bewitched by him at the top of the mountain in the morning, Hong Zhong's small face felt a little hot. This caused her, who was not a perverted woman, to be completely befuddled!

It was indeed a beauty that tricked others!

This short pause, coupled with Hong Zhong's slightly red face, was also caught by Baili Yi Chen's sharp senses. He felt his heart clench as the hand under the bright yellow dragon robe subconsciously tightened. A sour feeling gradually rose in his chest, causing him to feel a little uncomfortable.

There was still one more person who noticed this abnormality, and that was Hong Li. As a successful businessman, he naturally had read a lot of people, and was extremely confident in his understanding of people's expressions and mentality! Naturally, he was also keenly aware of Baili Mingyue's fleeting strangeness, but he did not reveal it. The smile on his face was still the same warm and refined brand smile.

Inside the palace, other than Baili Yi Chen and Nangong Lingwei, everyone else stood up, "We welcome the Regent!"

As for Huyan Ruijin and Huyan Ruolan who came, although the three of them did not need to kneel before Baili Mingyue, they still stood up out of courtesy.

"Get up." Baili Mingyue indifferently swept her eyes over the crowd, and then slowly walked to the head of the table. Those who knew their place immediately took out a table and set it down. Baili Mingyue then sat down, her movements extremely elegant and elegant.

Everyone stood up. "Thank you, Lord Regent."

After the people of Southern Qi sat down, it was time for the foreign envoys to pay their respects. Murong Youqi smiled, although he was a little tired, his face was still the same as always. He waved his fan and spoke to Baili Mingyue: "This prince and the Regent met at the national banquet, and also met in the National Temple.

Baili Mingyue nodded as a form of greeting. After that, her gaze that was as beautiful as clear light swept over the two people beside Huyan Ruijin. Huyan Ruijin, who should have been the one bowing to Baili Mingyue, was stunned for a moment as she watched Baili Mingyue.

Even Huyan Ruolan, who was at the side, felt that something was wrong. She turned his head and looked at her usually calm Cousin, before reaching out her hand to pull at it.

Baili Mingyue frowned slightly as he looked at the dumbstruck Huyan Ruijin. The obvious feeling was that his eyes … It was very uncomfortable!

Huyan Ruijin quickly regained her senses after being pulled, she wiped the unnatural expression off her face and laughed: "Greetings, Regent."

Hong Zhong noticed this change in expression. She turned and looked at the cold and luxurious Baili Mingyue, then at Huyan Ruijin who had an awkward expression. Aiyo, the interactions between these two people, makes it easy for people to imagine things, okay!

Look at our family's handsome and elegant, beautiful, and goddess-like Regent King uncle, could it be that this Prince Jin was right in his eyes? Thinking about that, Hong Zhong's perverted eyes that seemed to have found an adultery swept over the two of them from time to time!

And this vulgar look was naturally discovered by some people in the great hall. Baili Yi Chen looked away speechlessly, pretending as if he hadn't noticed it! This woman was always crazy, it was better to just ignore her!

Hong Li covered his lips and coughed, reminding her not to go overboard, but to turn his head with a frown, as though he was too lazy to bother with her. Murong Youqi on the other hand, was fanning himself, looking like he was watching a good show.

When Huyan Ruolan, who was standing opposite to her saw her wretched appearance, she suddenly thought of the first time she said that she had taken a fancy to her second brother. Could it be that she had taken a fancy to the Big Brother Jin? Actually, it's fine if I tell you, but Big Brother Jin has someone he likes too! "

That day, she had said those words to him; it was truly an insult to the princess of a country. Then, today, he would return it to her as it was before, allowing her to taste the feeling of being humiliated!

Hong Zhong shrugged her shoulders when she heard this, "Princess, you're thinking too much! Although the Prince Jin is not bad looking, in terms of appearance, he is exactly the same as our handsome and elegant Emperor! But in terms of power, the Prince Jin is not only a prince but a prince as well. These words made Huyan Ruijin feel that the position of prince was lower than the position of the ruler of a nation like Baili Yi Chen!

"What you mean is Big Brother Jin, it can't be compared to …" Huyan Ruolan never thought that Hong Zhong would speak of her dislike of princes so straightforwardly. She felt it to be unbelievable. For ordinary people, if it was like this, it would be hard to say it in front of others. Just like that day, when Hong Zhong said that she was interested in a red battle, even if she was not, she did not say it out in front of everyone. But Hong Zhong...

"Lan Er, don't be rude." Before Huyan Ruolan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Huyan Ruijin. This girl, had almost fallen for that woman's trap again. After giving Huyan Ruolan a meaningful glance, she turned and looked at Hong Zhong, "Third Miss is right, this little king is just a prince, how can I compare to the status of the Southern Qi Emperor?"

Hong Zhong laughed, and declined to comment.

At this moment, Baili Yi Chen who was sitting in a high position, after hearing Hong Zhong's words, his calm heart trembled slightly. Although the Emperor himself was more noble than the Prince, this woman's meaning was, could it be that the person in her heart, was … Me?

As he thought about it, the look in his eyes grew gentler when he looked at Hong Zhong!

Huyan Ruolan pouted, and sat down unwillingly. This woman, was going against him time and time again, if not for the promise she gave to Cousin to come this time, just to watch the show, he would definitely have made her pay!

As Baili Mingyue arrived, the atmosphere in the palace became increasingly heavy. Baili Ziyan, who was originally arrogant, had no choice but to swallow her anger at this moment.

Baili Mingyue's beautiful eyes were as cold as ice as they swept across the crowd, "There have been a lot of matters that have happened in the palace recently, so the Emperor should focus on the affairs of the country. With such a small matter today, we shouldn't waste the Emperor's time and effort."

This was the biggest joke in the world!
