I only care about you!

Seeing Hong Zhong in such pain, Baili Mingyue considerately reached out to help her hold the bowl, and then picked up the silver spoon in the bowl. She scooped up a spoonful of rice porridge and acted in an indescribably natural manner as she gently brought it to Hong Zhong's mouth, "Come."

"..." Hong Zhong looked at the gentle and undecent person in front of him, and really wanted to reach out and touch his forehead with her claws, then ask, "Uncle, did you eat the wrong medicine?" She had already felt that he had become different. Now, this change was far more than before. It was as if there was a world of difference between them. Embarrassed, she glanced at the expressionless servants who were staring straight ahead. "Uncle, you …"

"Hmm? What's wrong? "But the food is not to your liking?" Baili Mingyue paused for a moment before asking softly.

Hong Zhong shook her head: "No, I … "Let's do it ourselves."

Baili Mingyue paused, but eventually nodded, "That's good as well." She put down the bowl and silver spoon, and smiled at Hong Zhong.

Hong Zhong laughed, enduring the pain in her arm, she picked up the silver spoon and took a bite of the porridge. The porridge tasted pretty good, so she unceremoniously finished the bowl of porridge.

Seeing the woman who was wolfing down her food, Baili Mingyue smiled blandly. He picked up a crystal dumpling and placed it on the plate in front of Hong Zhong: "Girl, don't only drink porridge, try this."

"Yes." Hong Zhong nodded her head and without hesitation, she exterminated the dumpling and looked at Baili Mingyue who had yet to start: "Uncle, why aren't you eating?"

Baili Mingyue smiled as she picked up the spoon in the porridge bowl and took a sip. Hong Zhong looked at the white-robed man in front of him as she leisurely ate the delicacies in front of him. Every movement of her was extremely graceful and carried an innate noble aura.

Looking at his appearance again, Hong Zhong's face flushed red. Facing Baili Mingyue's concerned gaze, he laughed awkwardly, stuck out his chest, and pretended to be elegant. After drinking a mouthful of porridge, he consoled himself in his heart: Actually, elegance can be cultivated, right? Actually, as long as I practice more, I can be as elegant as Baili Mingyue, right? Yes, it had to be!

As for Hong Zhong, she was currently focusing on becoming as elegant as Baili Mingyue, so when she saw that Baili Mingyue was no longer paying attention to him, she stared at him without blinking. She was curious in the bottom of her heart, why would a man who ate for a man look like this?

As he watched Baili Mingyue eat gracefully, for some reason, Hong Zhong felt a little sad. It was because under Baili Mingyue's elegant and refined aura, she could see that she was a little lonely. With a pained heart, he asked, "Uncle?"

"Hmm?" Baili Mingyue stopped in his tracks, turned and looked at Hong Zhong, as his pleasant voice sounded, "Girl, what's wrong? "But what's wrong?"

"Nope." Hong Zhong heaved a sigh of relief, looked at the people beside him, stood up and waved: "All of you can go now, you don't need to wait on me here."

"This …" The group of servants looked at each other. It was best if they all looked at Baili Mingyue. All of them hesitated. Without the order of the Regent, none of them dared to leave.

Baili Mingyue gracefully put down her chopsticks, and spoke to them, "All of you may leave." Although he didn't know what the girl was up to, since she had requested it, he would let her be.

"Yes." The servants obeyed and filed out. Not long after, only Baili Mingyue and Hong Zhong remained in the dining hall.

After the servants had all left, he turned to look at her. On his beautiful face, there was a faint smile that was warm like jade. His eyes also had a trace of a doting look, but he did not speak.

Hong Zhong sat down next to him, and from the plate in front of him, she picked up an exquisite pastry, and placed it on the plate in front of Baili Mingyue: "Uncle, come, eat this!" After saying that, she looked at him expectantly.

Alright, actually, she had wanted to order some dishes for him just now, but she felt that it was embarrassing to have so many people watch her, so … Cough cough!

As Baili Mingyue looked at the pastry, her mind gradually went blank for a moment. That warm smile froze on her face, and after a moment of silence, she picked up the crystal steamed dumpling with her slender fingers and took a bite.

The smell was the same as before, but today, for some unknown reason, it made him feel inexplicably touched. With every bite he chewed, he felt his calm heart gradually sink. He felt an inexplicable sense of disorder. After he finished the crystal dumpling, he took a deep breath and said, "Thank you." Little girl, since This King can remember, you are the first woman to serve food to This King. " Since he could still remember, he didn't have the matriarch's love.

In the eyes of others, he had suffered from the cold poison and it was something that deserved to be pitied the most. But who would have known, that in his eyes the cold poison was nothing at all. When he was young, whenever he saw other children being able to act like a spoiled child in his mother's arms, he would feel an unspeakable envy and expectation, as well as an indescribable loneliness and loneliness.

"Uncle." His tone was filled with pain.

Seeing the pain in Hong Zhong's eyes, he felt as if the heaviness in her heart was enough to make him unable to breathe. After she had finished speaking, she fell silent, and her mood seemed somewhat dejected.

In fact, after all these years, he had long gotten used to being alone. He ate alone, slept alone and did everything by himself. Why he suddenly felt so touched today, he could not say for sure. Perhaps all these years, he had only thought that he was already used to it, but deep in his heart, he still desired to be cared for and loved by others.

Looking at the disappointment on his face, Hong Zhong's heart ached for no reason. Ever since she was young, she had been abandoned in the orphanage, and from a young age, she knew that she had no relatives or companions. Perhaps it was this feeling she had since she was young that allowed her to see Baili Mingyue alone, and see the loneliness in his body.

He recalled that he had seen him in the Rose Pavilion several times and knew that the past of the Rose Pavilion was exactly what Baili Mingyue wanted the most out of all of them. Therefore, if there was even a little bit of warmth, it would make him feel touched.

"Uncle, I believe esteemed imperial concubine is a very good person. If she's still here, she should be Uncle's backer. Even if she isn't, she should still be worried about him."

Are you worried about him?

In fact, when he was young, he had thought about this kind of thing many times. But after it slowly faded, he did not think about it anymore, because no matter how he thought about it, he could not imagine that scene, the matriarch was already gone! Her beautiful eyes were filled with gloom, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Seeing the loneliness in his eyes, Hong Zhong shook his head and looked towards the sky: "Uncle, have you heard of this before? Legend has it that after death, people will become the stars in the sky, and protect those they care about. So, the grand imperial concubine, the great ancestor, and the late emperor of the Southern Qi, they must all have become stars in the sky, watching uncle from the sky. They must also hope that while Uncle is seeking benefits for the people of Southern Qi, he is also happy and happy. " He remembered that every time he missed his parents, his sisters would always comfort him like this!

Seeing that this girl was truly worried for her. Baili Mingyue also felt a surge of warmth, "Don't worry, this girl will be fine. Just let him be. I won't care about it." What I care about is the present. What I care about is you!

"Un, that's right, anyway, I eat alone in the palace and Uncle also eats alone, how about I have time to eat with you when I return to the palace, is that okay?" The two of them had been without warmth since they were young. It was not a bad thing for them to snuggled together to warm each other up. "However, let's just say that for every meal, there are dishes that I love to eat. In addition, I will not provide them for living expenses!"

Baili Mingyue was slightly stunned, but soon after, she smiled and straightforwardly replied: "Do you mean what you say?"

"Mm, I'll keep my word. If you don't believe me, just pull the hook." Hong Zhong nodded his head seriously. As he spoke, he extended his hand and pulled Baili Mingyue's hand over, his own pinky hooking together with his white slender pinky. After a while, he said, "Hold on for a bit, don't go back on your words. "Remember, I won't give you living expenses!"

"Heh heh... "I will not go back on my word!" Although he did not know what Hong Zhong meant by living expenses, but combined with the current situation of the two of them, he could probably understand what it meant. Looking at the little finger that was intertwined together, he felt the gloom at the bottom of his heart sweep away.

… ….

When Hong Zhong arrived at the National Temple, she was discussing with the empress dowager about the reciting of scriptures for the late emperor. Just as Hong Zhong returned to the East Garden, he saw Qingya in her room. When she saw Hong Zhong, she immediately pounced towards him, her watery eyes turning red, as if she had been crying. "Even I am worried …"

"Qingya, stop!" Hong Zhong quickly interrupted Qing Ya's question. Actually, every time Qing Ya saw her, she would make the same opening remark, which Hong Zhong also felt helpless about. Could it be that the most the little girl could say to her master was: "Miss, where did you go? "Come and show it to the young mistress, are you alright?"

Qing Ya looked at Hong Zhong's calm and composed expression, she raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, then shook her head: "Miss, Qing Ya is fine. Miss, where did you go? This servant has searched for you for a long time, but was unable to find you. " Ever since she returned to Shengjing City, she found that she was becoming more and more incompetent, because, as a servant, she often did not know where her master had gone to!

"I …" Hong Zhong paused for a while, and still felt that the matter of her going to the Hundred Miles Courtyard was not suitable to be made known to the public, thus she decisively changed the topic: "Qingya, are you really alright? Do you want to invite the imperial physician over to take a look? "

"Your servant is fine." As she spoke, she then asked Hong Zhong, "Miss, you have not been in your room since early in the morning. Your servant has checked that the bedding in your room is still in good condition, could it be that you didn't come back last night?"

Seeing that Qingya went back to where she went, Hong Zhong immediately changed the topic again: "Oh right, Qingya, we should go and take a look at Princess Yao Ji's injuries. We don't know whether she was attacked or not, as for how it is now, we should go and burn some incense for Master of Pure Wisdom.

Qing Ya followed behind her, and looked at Hong Zhong's back in a somewhat baffled manner. As a servant who knew martial arts, she could clearly see that the young miss's walk was different from before, it was as if her lower body was more stable!

… ….

It was noon at that time, and the Sentiment Crossing Cliff had already gathered many monks that were cultivating in the National Temple. As the Reverend Mother National Temple was dealing with the empress dowager's matters, the affairs of the Master of Pure Wisdom were presided over by an elder of the National Temple. That elder held a torch in her hand and spoke to the rest slowly, "Everyone, let's bid our farewells."

With that, all of the monks present, other than a few elders, all knelt down in the direction of the Master of Pure Wisdom and started chanting.

When Hong Zhong rushed to Sentiment Crossing Cliff, she just happened to see this scene. She looked at the crowd and searched for the azure figure. In the end, she didn't find anything. With Master of Pure Wisdom gone, there was no reason for Huyan Ruijin to not know. Since she knew, why didn't she come to send off the great master.

It was unknown if it was due to some kind of mental effect or what, but Hong Zhong only felt an ice-cold gaze from behind him. She turned her head to look around, but found that besides the lush and verdant vegetation, there was nothing else in her surroundings.

He could not help but feel touched when he saw the benevolent and peaceful person standing amidst the fresh flowers. He walked forward with Qing Ya and stopped in front of the Master of Pure Wisdom's body. She immediately walked up and lit three sticks of incense and passed it to Hong Zhong.

Hong Zhong received the incense from her and sincerely bowed in respect. Looking at her inserting the incense into the incense burner, she took out the jade pendant that the Master of Pure Wisdom had given him before she passed away from her waist. Her jade-like fingers gently traced across it, "Master, you can rest assured that I will definitely return this jade pendant to Prince Jin."

After offering an incense stick to the Master of Pure Wisdom, Hong Zhong felt as if he was being watched by someone else again. He quickly turned his head and looked around, but did not discover anything, and at the same time, he did not discover Huyan Ruijin's figure within the crowd of people. He retreated a few tens of meters while watching the elder throw the torch in his hand towards the wooden rack that was filled with fresh flowers.

The blazing flames burnt everything to ashes.

Looking at the burning flames, Hong Zhong sighed, she suppressed the complicated feelings in her heart and turned to face the elegant and refined woman, "Qingya, let's go."

Accompanied by her elegance, Hong Zhong walked back along the mountain path before finally arriving at the bamboo forest. For some reason, she felt that there was an unusual atmosphere in the depths of the bamboo forest.
