Chapter 117 - Crimes against the Monarch's will

Baili Ziyan opened his mouth, but was angered speechless by Hong Zhong. Could it be that she wanted to say that in order to punish Hong Zhong, she had specially sent two henchmen to the Xiwu Hall to monitor him? There were many things that could not be said in the palace, and these things were undoubtedly one of them!

Seeing that Baili Ziyan was speechless, Hong Zhong slowly spoke: "Grand Princess said that the golden plate is mine, do you have evidence? It was true that this thing was found in the Xiwu Hall, but why did the Grand Princess find it after bringing someone to search? Or, can I make a guess? This thing was originally sent by the Grand Princess? "

"Hong Zhong, you're slandering us!" Baili Ziyan was a little angry from embarrassment. It seemed that the current situation was extremely disadvantageous to him! However, she was truly unwilling to give up such an excellent opportunity to suppress Hong Zhong. As she thought about it, she looked to Baili Yi Chen and said, "Royal brother."

He was growing more and more accustomed to this Royal Sister. It was one thing for him to be stupid, but he still wanted to come out and stir up trouble, but now that things had gotten out of hand, he was going to be called over. Could it be that she wanted him to speak up for her? In front of so many people, the great Emperor of a country helping her argue with a woman would probably make everyone laugh their teeth out!

Seeing that Baili Yi Chen had ignored her, Baili Ziyan turned to Nangong Lingwei and said, "Muhou." Her voice was aggrieved, clearly wanting the empress dowager to speak up for her.

Nangong Lingwei had actually seen much of the world, and quickly grasped onto a key point: "Hong Zhong, you said that this fake gold was not yours, then can you take out the real gold?" Knowing a daughter like Mo Ru mother, Baili Ziyan firmly concluded that the gold plate in Hong Zhong's hand was fake. Presumably, it was also with an 80% chance of winning. But now that Hong Zhong refused to admit it, no one could do anything about it!

But think about it, if she had a real gold medal, why would she fake it! Therefore, if he wanted to prove that she used a fake gold medal, then he must prove that she didn't have a real gold medal!

When Lv Luo heard the empress dowager's words, his face instantly turned pale white. She stayed behind in the Xiwu Hall, and naturally, she did not know what had happened in the National Temple, nor did she know that Hong Li had returned. At the moment, she only thought to herself, he's done for, all her perseverance will be for naught.

And when Baili Ziyan saw the change in expression on Lv Luo's face, he immediately knew that Nangong Yimeng's words had struck Hong Zhong's soft spot, and laughed complacently: "That's right, Hong Zhong, you kept saying that you have a real Gold Medal for Free from Death, so take it out."

Some of them had even seen Hong Zhong holding a gold plate and talking to Baili Yi Chen at the national banquet. Although they did not know what the two of them were talking about at that time, they could guess that the gold plate that Hong Zhong was holding was the Gold Medal for Free from Death. If Hong Zhong could get the real gold medal, then he could naturally be acquitted of the crime!

This idea was naturally acknowledged by Baili Yi Chen. That day, he had asked Hong Zhong to send that golden plate up for him to see, but Hong Zhong rejected it! Right now, if Hong Zhong was not able to take out the real gold medal, then it could only be said that the real gold coin from that day was also fake! Then, this damned woman should be taught a lesson!

After Hong Zhong heard this, the corner of his mouth hooked up: "If that's the case, Grand Princess, you better watch carefully!" After that, she reached out her hand and pulled down the beautiful cloth bag on her waist under everyone's watch. In front of everyone, she took out the gold plate that Hong Li had given her earlier and waved it in front of Baili Ziyan. Then, she circled around the place, showing it to everyone.

"This gold medal is the Gold Medal for Free from Death that the previous emperor bestowed to Red House. I, Hong Zhong, have a genuine gold medal by my side, why do I need to use a fake gold medal to implicate my Red House?" As Hong Zhong finished speaking, he also rejoiced from the bottom of his heart. Fortunately, he had returned to the General's Estate today when they were stuck in a traffic jam, otherwise, he would have died for sure!

"Impossible!" Baili Ziyan's face was clearly filled with disbelief, how could this woman have a real gold medal! You b * tch, you actually made two fake gold medals, what crime do you have! "

And Lv Luo was the same. At this moment, her mind was blank, thinking how could Miss have a real gold medal, could Miss have really made two fake gold medals?! But if that was the case, then it was also a capital offense!

"Enough, shut up!" Baili Yi Chen's sword-like eyebrows creased as he glared at Baili Ziyan in displeasure. There was a clear warning in his eyes. But how could Baili Ziyan understand his gaze? She was completely flustered by her own disbelief, and kept pointing at Hong Zhong, without looking like a lady from a noble family. "Hong Zhong, you slut, you dare bully the king! "You …"

Baili Yi Chen knitted his brows as he walked forward. He angrily slapped Baili Ziyan, causing Baili Ziyan to regain some rationality. He touched the half of his face that had been smacked by Baili Yi Chen, and said in an aggrieved manner, "Royal brother."

"I told you to shut up!" Baili Yi Chen ruthlessly said. The current him simply did not want to see Baili Ziyan, that idiot!

The Emperor's fury also caused everyone present to crumble in their hearts following Baili Ziyan. All of them lowered their heads, not daring to breathe. Why did they have to believe the words of the Grand Princess and come here to bear witness? If they were to throw their lives here, it would be too unworthwhile!

The scene was so quiet that it was a little scary. Baili Ziyan covered his face with a face full of grievance, and turned around to look at Nangong Lingwei. "Mother, royal brother hit me, wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu …" Ever since she was young, when had she ever been beaten up by anyone? Even her royal brother didn't care about her, but in the end, he had never beaten her. Yet today, he had beaten her up in public!

Nangong Lingwei let out a faint sigh, as she instructed with a cold tone: "Men, help Grand Princess return to the Yanran Palace. Immediately, Doctor Xuan went to Yanran Palace. " Hence, the palace maids who were stunned by the Rage of the Emperor trembled as they walked forward and supported Baili Ziyan back to the Yanran Palace.

After Baili Ziyan was slapped back to the Yanran Palace, Baili Yi Chen turned his head to look at the golden plate in front of him. Just as he was hesitating whether he should take a look at it or not, he saw Hong Zhong passing the golden plate to him, "The golden plate is here. As he spoke, he turned around, not at all afraid of the other party's actions of verifying his identity.

Baili Yi Chen stroked the gold medallion in his hand. This gold medallion had the unique mark of the Baili Royal Family on it. He threw the gold plate back to Hong Zhong and looked at Nangong Lingwei who was at the top. "This gold plate was indeed given to me by the late emperor himself!"

Since the Emperor had already said so, the result was obvious. Nangong Lingwei frowned as he looked at the crowd, "Since Hong Zhong's gold medal is real, then the piece that Xiwu Hall found was planted maliciously. The servants of Xiwu Hall can't even see the courtyard properly, what's the use of the imperial family raising you all, drag it down and kill you all!"

Immediately, Xiwu Hall's cries and pleas sounded throughout the arena.

Since the matter had come to this point, it was natural to return Lv Luo's innocence. It was also because Lv Luo had followed Hong Zhong into the palace, so he was not considered as a servant of the Xiwu Hall. Hong Zhong rushed forward and helped the shocked Lv Luo up, and looked at her injured face in pain: "Lv Luo, are you alright?!"

Lv Luo shook his head, the tears in his eyes flowing out.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Hong Zhong patted Lv Luo's back to comfort her.

"This girl can be considered a loyal lord. Let Imperial Physician Xuan come and take a look at her." Nangong Lingwei looked at the two of them, and slowly said: "Wailing Home is also tired, everyone can leave. Meng'er, accompany Wailing Home back to Phoenix-Resting Palace."

"Yes." Nangong Yimeng supported the empress dowager and slowly left.

The ladies that watched the lively scene for a long time all held their pink hearts in their hands. They shyly glanced at Baili Yi Chen and then began to leave in twos and threes.

When Baili Yi Chen saw Hong Zhong's pained face, a trace of unwillingness flashed through his heart. He coughed lightly in embarrassment, "You don't have to be sad, let the imperial physician come and let her see. We will make them use the best medicine, within two days, her injuries will be healed.

Hong Zhong lowered his head and did not speak, he looked at Lv Luo with a pained expression.

When Baili Yi Chen finished speaking, he saw that Hong Zhong was ignoring him, so he did not say anything more and turned to leave the Xiwu Hall. Only after he had taken a few steps did Hong Zhong turn around and look at his back. "Your Majesty."

The noble monarch did not turn his head, but paused and waited for her to continue.

"Your Majesty, this maidservant would like to ask, could the Son of Heaven really commit the same crime as a commoner?" It was not that she could not see Baili Ziyan well, but from the very beginning, Baili Ziyan had completely ignored the lives of others, and wanted to put Hong Zhong to death, this crime, if placed on anyone, it would be a crime of decapitation. But now, Baili Ziyan, unexpectedly did not have any problems.

The late emperor did not have a lot of bloodline to begin with. Other than him, he only had two younger sisters. He paused for a moment. "I will compensate you for the things that Yan Er has done against you!"

"I don't want compensation." Hong Zhong sighed lightly. "If Your Majesty is sincere, can Your Majesty grant me a request?"

This time, for the first time ever, Baili Yi Chen was not angry. He indifferently replied, "Speak."

Hong Zhong thought for a while, "Xiao Su died in National Temple, and was once a member of the Yanran Palace. Before she died, she entrusted me with the care and care of her mother and brother. When Baili Ziyan returned to the palace, the most important thing for her to do was to take care of the people who made her failed plans. Xiao Su was already dead, but her mother and brother were still in Baili Ziyan's hands.

He knew that Baili Ziyan had taken Xiao Su's mother and brother captive, but he never thought that would still remember this girl's promise. He nodded: "We will." After he finished speaking, he led his group of people and majestically left the Xiwu Hall.

… ….

After Lv Luo heard this, he knelt down on the ground with a thump and whispered, "Miss, this servant is incompetent, would Miss please punish me?"

Hong Zhong helped her up: "Stand up, why should I punish you? Tell me, what happened in Xiwu Hall in the past few days? "

Lv Luo stood up and reported respectfully about the affairs of the Xiwu Hall: "According to my investigation, all the servants in the Xiwu Hall are our own camps, all our masters. There are two people from the Grand Princess, and there are four from the Phoenix-Resting Palace. "Your servant wasn't certain which one of us it was last time, but the target was locked between Zhilan and Gu Mi. Zhilan should be the emperor's man, while Gu Mi should be the empress dowager's man."

Hong Zhong thought for a while, then slowly said, "One is Baili Yi Chen's man, the other is Empress Dowager's man. If the person who leaked the information was Zhi Lan, then it should be Baili Yi Chen and not Baili Ziyan who found out that I used a fake gold medal. But why did she release the news to Baili Ziyan, and not to the empress dowager? "

Lv Luo shook her head: "This servant doesn't understand either."

"By the way, how did the news get out? Do you know?" Logically speaking, she had already given the order that the people of the Xiwu Hall would not be allowed to go out, so the news wouldn't leak out so easily, right?

Lv Luo thought for a while: "Originally, Miss had already ordered my orders, the servants in Xiwu Hall did not have orders to prohibit anyone from going out, thus, it was originally impossible for news to spread, but the day before yesterday, Xiwu Hall went into the water for no reason, this servant guessed that it was at that time that the news spread out. Speaking of which, it's all my fault, I did not find that person in time, and almost got Miss caught off guard by Baili Ziyan. "

Hong Zhong nodded his head, he had no idea what was going on. Indeed, it was possible that Gu Ding had set things on fire to spread the news, and took the chance to send the news out. However, it was fortunate that they managed to get away with it, "Forget it, Lv Luo, you don't have to blame yourself. This matter is already over, and the servants of the Xiwu Hall have all been punished.

"Yes." "After listening to Hong Zhong's words, Lv Luo was moved. That's right, Miss, Miss Mo Zhu brought Miss's homework this morning, saying that Imperial Advisor would be very busy before Empress Dowager's birthday feast, so I had to set aside Miss's homework in advance. Miss will be studying at Xiwu Hall on her own, so you don't have to go to South study anymore.

"Yes." "Where is it?" Hong Zhong nodded, he ran to the National Temple and delayed for a few days, as he finished his homework.

Lv Luo turned around and took out two books, handing them over to Hong Zhong: "Here you go."

Hong Zhong nodded as he accepted the book, and opened it to read: "Alright, I got it, I will read it later, you can go and rest, take care of the wounds on your face, and don't get wet!"

"Yes, miss." Lv Luo agreed and then walked out. Lv Luo had just left when elegance walked in. Behind him were two other people, who carried the little Snow Mastiff's cage: "Miss, this servant has brought the dog in the cage back for you. Where should we put it?"
