Chapter 121 - The Rage of the King's Heart
Sitting in the garden, waiting for the arrival of the bun, she believed that with the bun's sharp sense of smell, it would very soon find her way here. As expected, not long after Hong Zhong arrived, she saw that round little fellow coming out from the flower bush.
"Come, come in!" Hong Zhong pointed to the main entrance of the cold palace and took the lead as she walked in. She lit up all the candlesticks inside and for a moment, the originally pitch black cold palace lit up.
Hong Zhong looked around and then turned to look at Steamed Bun and said: "Steamed Bun, I know that you have always looked down on me, but I feel that I do not have the ability, and am not fit to be your master. Today, we will use the cold palace as a stage for gambling, you will be in charge of defense, and I will be in charge of escape. If I'm still in this room within two hours, you win. "How about it?"
"Awoooo." Steamed Bun barked, revealing his white teeth. I am the only descendant of the Snow Wolf King. To me, defending such a small matter is nothing. Such a simple bet is an insult to my intelligence. Stupid woman!
"Since you've agreed, let's begin." Hong Zhong said as sshe lit a stick of incense. "Before this stick of incense burns up, I'll go out and take it as my victory." Steamed Bun had also instantly entered a state of alert. Squatting at the entrance, he looked at Hong Zhong without moving.
Hong Zhong yawned as if she was very tired, and unconcernedly said: "It's late in the night, I'll rest for a bit, and recuperate to replenish my energy!" As she said that, she ignored the concentrated Steamed Bun and pulled down a piece of the curtain to spread it on a worn out soft couch. From the looks of it, she was preparing to sleep!
Steamed Bun stared at Hong Zhong and blinked his eyes. His eyes were filled with curiosity, what the hell was this woman doing? Why sleep! Therefore, he ran in front of Hong Zhong and stared at her with his tiger-like eyes, signalling her not to play any tricks!
"Steamed Bun, you must be tired too. How about you take a rest?" Hong Zhong laughed and said to Steamed Bun.
Steamed Bun glanced at Hong Zhong in disgust, then turned around and walked to the main entrance. He struggled to close the door with his two little paws and sat down, not even bothering to pay attention to Hong Zhong at all. You must want to use me to sleep and run out the front door! I won't be fooled!
Seeing that Steamed Bun had ignored him, Hong Zhong curled his lips and lay on the soft couch, closing his eyes to take a nap. Seeing that Hong Zhong had really fallen asleep, Steamed Bun closed his eyes and meditated. Since the door was closed, he was not afraid of her running out the door!
Just as Steamed Bun was about to fall asleep, he heard a loud "duang" sound, shocking him to the point that he immediately opened his eyes. He saw Hong Zhong standing at the window with a bronze bowl in her hand, and the meaning was that she wanted to climb out of the window with the copper pot under her feet!
Steamed Bun ran up to him like he was flying and scared Hong Zhong so much that he immediately jumped back. Looking at the fierce-looking bun, Hong Zhong immediately spoke up to please him: "Don't, don't, I'll come back. Speaking of which, you don't seem like a male, do you want to keep staring at a weak girl like me? Wow... You're so shameless! "
"Awoooo." Steamed Bun yelled in disdain. I'm shameless? You are the one who is shameless! I'm a male, but I'm not staring at you all the time. Besides, even if I'm staring at you every inch of the way, you can forget about escaping from the window!
"Then don't follow me every step of the way!" Hong Zhong immediately retorted. She then picked up her skirt and quickly left the place, muttering to herself, "I thought it was asleep, but it was just faking sleep! "It seems that I have to find a tool to help me." The sound wasn't loud, but Steamed Bun could still hear it.
However, after hearing what Hong Zhong said, Steamed Bun did not take Hong Zhong seriously. He looked down at Hong Zhong with contempt and then walked to the main entrance and licked his own fur. How could a dignified descendant of the Snow Wolf King not look down on a little girl like you?
Hong Zhong who was not far away sneaked a peek at Steamed Bun who was licking his fur, revealing a satisfied smile. This was the effect she wanted!
Not long after, there was a loud "duang" not too far away, and Steamed Bun quickly scurried over, only to discover that it was Hong Zhong who had overturned the wooden frame, causing bits and pieces of the wooden frame to fall onto the ground.
"Heh heh …" As expected of the descendants of the Snow Wolf King and the Mastiff Queen, they were actually discovered by you, you're so powerful! This place is no longer safe. If I go to another place, don't follow me! " Hong Zhong said as he turned in another direction and continued to wander around.
Steamed Bun looked at Hong Zhong speechlessly. There was only deep contempt in his eyes.
Not long after, the sounds of "duang" "duang" and "duang" came from all over the cold palace. At the beginning, Steamed Bun would quickly scuttle over to guard Hong Zhong, but gradually, it realized that Hong Zhong was only teasing it, and was completely trying to exhaust its energy. Thus, it gradually stopped moving so quickly, as the woman was so small, it was very difficult for her to jump out of the window! By the time she found something to climb out, she would already have discovered her!
Just like this, Hong Zhong began to move her body in all directions, and from time to time, she would make a lot of noises in the cold palace to confuse Steamed Bun. The pitiful little bun was also successfully bewitched by Hong Zhong's "wolf coming" look! In the end, she decided to ignore Hong Zhong and just guard at the entrance.
Hong Zhong was bored and childish. On the other hand, the Regent was at a loss. Master, Third Miss has ordered for all the things you sent out to be thrown out. " A dark guard in black was kneeling in front of the Lord Regent's bed. He was a secret guard under Wu Hen, and had been assigned by Wu Hen to go to the Xiwu Hall to protect Hong Zhong's safety. When he saw Qing Ya anxiously take out all the top quality supplements from the Xiwu Hall, he quickly rushed back to report.
[What the hell is going on?]
Wu Hen glanced at his master's expression and also noticed that he was also a little confused. It was obvious that he did not know why Hong Zhong was doing this.
Furthermore, there were many matters that needed Master to take care of in the country, so he could not spare any time to go to Xiwu Hall to see her. Since he found out that she had returned today, he chose a time to visit Xiwu Hall after dinner.
Although he did not see the noodles, he had instructed Mo Zhu to give him nourishment after returning. Looking at this point, there was nothing wrong with it, how did he offend Hong Zhong? He even threw out the tonic Master had given him so seriously! He turned around and coldly asked his subordinates, "Tell me clearly, what exactly happened?"
That person immediately replied, "As for the specific reason, even this subordinate does not know. He only knew that on the way back to the palace in the afternoon, Third Miss had for some reason made a trip back to the General's Estate. But after dinner, she went out to Princess Yao Ji's Cloud Jade Pavilion and after talking for a while, she returned to the Xiwu Hall. At that time, she had her servants throw out the things that the Duke had given her. "
"Then what did she say to Princess Yao Ji in the Yun Yao Pavilion?" Wu Hen glanced at the expression on Baili Mingyue's face, before asking with a cold expression.
That person lowered his head, and his heart could not help but tremble: "They were talking in the Cloud Dragon Pavilion's garden, and this subordinate was afraid of being discovered, so I did not hear what they had to say clearly. However, I could vaguely hear that the Emperor had some sort of Azure Sun Beast. Not long after saying that, he was looking at the Third Miss and had a fierce expression on his face as he plucked all the leaves from the potted plants. "
As a dark guard who was protecting his master in the dark, he could not pass on all his words to his master. That would mean he had failed in his duty! He just hoped that Master would give him another chance and not punish him for this!
The Emperor and Azure Sun?
This made Baili Mingyue and Wu Hen even more puzzled. However, the Princess Qingyang, strictly speaking, had nothing to do with Hong Zhong, so why did she mention it? Seemingly quite angry, she sighed slightly: "Where is Third Miss now?"
If he were to make a guess here, he might as well check it out himself. If there was any misunderstanding, he should resolve it as soon as possible.
"In the Cold Palace."
… ….
Time passed minute after minute, the incense was about to burn out, and Hong Zhong had already knocked over most of the things in the cold palace!
Just at that moment, Hong Zhong grabbed the incense that was about to burn out and leapt out of the window she had previously opened! What a joke! Her height wasn't that great, but her jumping ability was the best among the sisters. For her, the height of this window wasn't easy, but it wasn't difficult either!
As for the bun, who had been blinded by Hong Zhong's "Wolf", when he heard the sound of the window being broken, he knew that something was wrong and quickly scurried over. He followed Hong Zhong as he jumped out of the window as well, but he did not land safely as he had expected and instead fell into a net pocket.
"Awoooo …" Woman, you are despicable! The bun in his net pocket looked at the smiling Hong Zhong angrily.
Hong Zhong held onto the incense and waved it in front of Steamed Bun's face. The incense released a wave of smoke that carried the scent of sandalwood: "Did you see that? This incense hasn't burnt out yet, but I've already come out! "So Steamed Bun, you lost!" After Hong Zhong finished speaking, she had even blown on that piece of incense, and that piece of incense had also quickly lit up, then burned out all the sparks.
Steamed Bun stared at Hong Zhong unhappily: "Aowu!" Woman, you're cheating!
That's right, she was just playing a trick.
She had prepared a net pocket in front of the window and pretended that she was an idiot. She lured Steamed Bun here and then used Steamed Bun's arrogance to make a lot of noises to confuse him. In the end, she purposely delayed for time and successfully jumped out a second before the time was over.
Hong Zhong placed her hands on her waist, and looked down at Steamed Bun from above: "That's right, I'm just playing tricks, so what! Besides, not only have you failed to catch me, you've also been captured by me. Don't you think you need to improve a little? "
After Steamed Bun heard this, he understood that Hong Zhong's words were logical. He drooped his head dejectedly.
"Why are you acting like this?" Hong Zhong stopped and looked at the bun, opening up the net for it as he consoled it softly, "The reason why you're not strong right now is because you're still young and have plenty of chances to grow. Just because you can't do it now doesn't mean that you can't in the future. At most, I'll promise you that when you're really strong, I'll let you go back to the snowy mountain. "
The little bun looked at the net on the ground and cried out. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had indeed lost. Since he had lost, he would definitely admit it. Thus, she lowered her head and walked to Hong Zhong's footsteps, using her snow-white body to rub against Hong Zhong's feet, her appearance was completely obedient.
Hong Zhong clapped her hands, and picked up the bun, holding it in her arms, she stroked its fluffy head: "Alright, that's good, in the future you will follow me, if I have meat to eat, I will definitely not let you drink the soup!"
… ….
In a quiet and secluded location in the palace, a man dressed in an azure colored gown sat on top of a cold wall. He looked at the half full moon in the sky and after ten days of absence, the matriarch was gone! If he had known that this would happen, then why would he have come to the Southern Qi? Now, he had not even seen the last of the matriarch!
Just when his mood was extremely low, the sound of light footsteps came from beside his ears. Turning his eyes, he saw Hong Zhong carrying a small dog, and walking alone on the deep and quiet palace path, he seemed to be in a good mood!
royal father is gone, and so is the matriarch. Why should she be in a good mood!
Thinking about it this way, the pain in Huyan Ruijin's eyes disappeared, and it was filled with a dense, cold killing intent.
And at this moment, Hong Zhong suddenly felt a chill coming from behind, it seemed to be killing intent.
She didn't know why, but ever since the night that Sentiment Crossing Cliff died, she had felt that her senses were extra sensitive. For example, she was not far behind her, and there was someone watching her from behind, or a little bug calling from the flowers nearby. These were things that she had never felt before, but now, she could actually feel them very clearly.
Turning around, he saw a man standing less than ten metres behind him. He was dressed in an azure colored gown and had a familiar cold gaze. Hong Zhong frowned as he looked around: "Huyan Ruijin, what are you doing? You can't be thinking of killing me here, right? " Why did he personally make a move this time? He didn't even bring a helper with him!
Huyan Ruijin did not refute him. With a cold expression, he replied, "I alone will suffice to take your life. Last time, you escaped from National Temple. This time, you won't be so lucky. " After saying that, he stepped forward step by step.
