Chapter 139 - Lord Chaos's Hand
Being gently called out by Baili Yi Chen, Hong Zhong was stunned. This was the first time that Baili Yi Chen had ever called her by her name in such a gentle manner! But it was also this very first time, that caused Hong Zhong to shudder for no reason at all. Even when she spoke, she was trembling a little. Your Majesty, can … can you not scare me like this? "
Seeing Hong Zhong's frightened expression, Baili Yi Chen paused, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something. In the end, under Hong Zhong's shocked gaze, she shook her head: "Forget it, it's fine!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
tilted his head as he looked at the figure's back, his face filled with bafflement!
… ….
The entire Empress Dowager's birthday feast, all the girls from famous sects that could make it to the Shengjing City, were all invited. Today, the imperial garden was especially lively.
After Hong Zhong and Baili Yi Chen separated from the Holy Pond, it was not good for them to return to the Xiwu Hall. Along the way, they saw many well-dressed, brightly dressed women who were originally whispering to each other. However, when they saw Hong Zhong, they kept quiet and stared at him.
Hong Zhong swaggered between them, and after walking past, she could faintly hear the sound of someone whispering: "Did you know? Just now, His Majesty the Regent walked over here, and when he walked over, he gave me a look. "
"Don't be narcissistic, how can the Regent be looking at you? It's obviously looking at me! " Another girl argued in a low voice.
"It's me! If I say it's me, then it's me!" The woman who spoke earlier argued unhappily.
The two girls were in the middle of a dispute when the other woman reminded them kindly, "Hey, don't talk about the His Majesty the Regent anymore. His Majesty the Regent is only accompanying the two princes of Darknorth to listen to Yu Xuan's passing, it's not like he's just looking at the two of you. As he spoke, he proudly straightened his back.
With a great beauty like me among you, the Regent can see you. Could it be that the Regent is blind?
Hearing this, Hong Zhong turned her head to look at the few people who were intoxicated, their eyes filled with worship, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably. Speaking of which, she had always thought that Baili Mingyue was very good-looking, but she had never expected that it would actually be so easy to see.
However, when they said that Baili Mingyue was also in front, and had not seen him for two days, they truly missed him a little. As he thought of this, he actually forgot Baili Yi Chen's warning and prepared to head towards Yu Xuan.
He quickly walked over, but when he turned a corner, he heard the light laughter in the courtyard. His footsteps paused slightly, and unconsciously, he caught sight of the one foot square window on the wall, which gave him a glimpse of the courtyard from where the laughter had come. There were a few brightly dressed women gathered together, with Baili Ziyan and Nangong Yimeng standing out the most.
And beside the two of them, there were two women, the commander of the imperial guards, Dongfang Mingzhu and Chu Qin.
Ever since the last time they were on their way to the Supreme Ocean Academy, when they clashed head on with Dongfang Mingzhu and unwittingly flipped her carriage over, Hong Zhong had been brought into the palace to live. She had not seen these two again since, and today, she had actually seen them.
Thinking about that, Hong Zhong stopped in her tracks, and secretly observed the few of them. Perhaps it was because she had opened up the Ren Du and Du Meridian, and also had the internal energy in her body. At this moment, she could clearly hear the people speaking more than ten meters away from her as if they were right beside her ear.
"Grand Princess, don't worry." Chu Qin lowered her head and spoke softly.
"That's for the best." Baili Ziyan snorted coldly, a trace of ruthlessness flashed past her eyes as she turned to look at Nangong Yimeng: "Cousin sister, what do you think?"
Nangong Yimeng heard and she looked at Chu Qin coldly: "Chu Qin, you should know that your performance today directly affects the results of this time's Emperor election. Even if Grand Princess helps you with the aspect of opportunity, it would be useless if you don't work hard to move the Emperor." What she was best at was borrowing a knife to kill. No matter what, I have to use Chu Qin's power to get rid of that bitch Hong Zhong first. As for Chu Qin, hehe … It wouldn't be too late to deal with it later!
Hearing that, Chu Qin immediately knelt down: "Princess, this maidservant will definitely try her best to not let you down."
"Humph!" Baili Ziyan snorted coldly, then turned her head to look at Nangong Yimeng again: "Cousin sister, I really don't understand. Last time, when we switched Hong Zhong's picture book, and used Huyan Ruolan to force her into the Holy Pond, how could she still be safe and sound despite committing such a crime!"
"I heard my father say that if the Regent didn't save her, she would have died long ago." Nangong Yimeng took a sip of tea and slowly spoke. She then looked at Dongfang Mingzhu at the side: "Speaking of which, Ming Zhu, it has not been a one or two days since you fell for the Regent King, but do you know that your opponent was not some rumored Princess Qingyang, but Hong Zhong! As long as Hong Zhong is here, you'd wishful thinking to get the Regent's favor. That would simply be a pipe dream! "
Dongfang Mingzhu was startled, and nodded her head: "I understand!"
Hong Zhong heard every word of their conversation, and when she saw the few people in the courtyard who were 'plotting', her heart skipped a beat. She had suspected that the matter of the books being changed was related to Baili Ziyan, but there was no evidence.
He didn't expect that he would accidentally hear it from them. However, this Baili Ziyan, who had just been released from confinement by Nangong Lingwei in the morning, had come running out to seek death so quickly.
What a bitch!
The hatred from a few days ago, Xiao Su's miserable death, all flashed past her mind. Other than anger, there was only anger in Hong Zhong's heart! There was a maniacal voice in her heart shouting, "Beat that bitch to death!" "Beat that bitch to death!"
If it wasn't because of the circumstances, she might have really rushed out and beat those two bastards up! However, reality was reality. There were so many people coming and going. She did not have that chance! But to not take revenge on her wasn't's nature at all, so thinking like this, her heart was also exceptionally agitated. Looking at the few people inside, she felt exceptionally unreconciled!
Taking a deep breath, he looked up at the sky, trying to calm his anger and console himself with the words, "Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge". However, the moment he raised his head, he saw that on the treetops in the courtyard, there was a unknown black object, and Baili Ziyan and the others were right under the tree!
Hong Zhong looked at the tree, then looked at the tree, then looked at the tree again … In the end, her red lips formed a smile, revealing a pleased smile, Baili Ziyan, the heavens are truly determined to kill you!
This time, not only Baili Ziyan, Nangong Yimeng, who escaped from the punishment several times before, there were also those two brats who wanted to ambush him.
If he hadn't seen wrongly, that black object on the tree should be a hornet's nest! Perhaps because there were only two princesses left in Baili Yi Chen's imperial harem, there was no one else present. Thus, the courtyard was exceptionally quiet. Normally, no one would come to this place.
As a result, the servants would usually just casually clean the place up, but they ignored a nest of hornets that had appeared out of nowhere. The hornet's nest was now the size of a watermelon, so no one had found it.
Hong Zhong laughed sinisterly. Just imagine how miserable those women were being chased by Hornet's Nest, and she would laugh out loud! Just as Hong Zhong was smiling sinisterly, a eunuch's voice came from his side, "Third Miss, what are you laughing at?"
Hong Zhong immediately regained her senses, and turned around to find that the person was the empress dowager's side, An Xiaohai. At the moment, he was looking through the window that Hong Zhong had used to look at, and Hong Zhong immediately put away the smile on her face, pulling him back and pretending to be calm as she explained in a low voice: "No, I'm not laughing, what?" As she said that, she quietly stood by the window, blocking An Xiaohai's line of sight.
"Then what are you looking at?" Seeing Hong Zhong blocking the window, An Xiaohai's face was obviously filled with disbelief.
"No, it's nothing." Seeing that he did not believe her, Hong Zhong took the initiative to stand away, proving that she really did not see anything.
An Xiaohai paused for a moment, he didn't know what to make of this. Could it be that the Red Third Miss didn't know that her smile just now was really very vulgar? An Xiaohai's face was obviously filled with disbelief as he approached the window. As a result, he felt something knock on the back of his head, and then his vision went black, and he fainted.
Hong Zhong used her foot to kick An Xiaohai who had been knocked out, and helplessly said: "You forced me to do this, I already said it, I didn't see anything, and you don't believe me? After she finished speaking, she looked left and right, and after ensuring that her movements were not discovered, she dragged An Xiaohai into the dense forest that was difficult to detect.
After Hong Zhong finished, she looked at the unconscious An Xiaohai, then at the blue colored gown she was wearing, and laughed. She quickly reached out and took off all of An Xiaohai's clothes, putting them on herself.
There were many people coming and going in and out of the palace today. Now that An Xiaohai had been stripped naked and thrown here, if he did not want to be blamed for messing around in the palace, when he woke up, with his understanding of the palace, he should be able to find a quiet place to hide himself and not be discovered.
This way, he wouldn't run out to expose himself!
Not long after, a handsome young eunuch jumped out from the trees. This person was Hong Zhong, dressed in her eunuch uniform, and luckily she had put on some light makeup today, so at this moment, her eunuch uniform did not look out of place on her body.
She took out her "Hundred Treasure Bag" from her waist. This bag should have contained all kinds of rouge powder and other items that a woman would need to fix her makeup on, but ever since Hong Zhong had been hunted down at the back mountain of National Temple, she had thrown all of those items away.
He took out the catapult made from the skysilk, bent down and pulled a few pebbles from the flower bed. He aimed at the hornet's nest on the treetop, and with two "shua shua" sounds, the two pebbles flew towards the branch where the hornet's nest was.
The current Hong Zhong was no longer the original Hong Zhong.
She had used her own Qi when she was fighting Hornet's Nest. Although there weren't many, it was enough to break the branches of the Hornet's Nest!
The branch that was dragging the hornet's nest was struck by the cobblestone. It instantly lost its support and fell from the treetop.
As for the four people who were having their 'secret meeting' under the tree, when they heard the sound of someone eavesdropping from above, they looked around vigilantly. However, they didn't expect that a tree branch with a hornet's nest would fall from the sky.
Dongfang Mingzhu knew martial arts, so when she felt the wind above her head, she quickly retreated, and successfully avoided the tree branch, but Chu Qin and Nangong Yimeng, who were used to being tender to it, were not as agile. The tree branch that was open fell down from the tree and successfully hung onto their hair, and then hung onto their clothes.
Chu Qin and Nangong Yimeng jumped away in shock, seeing that their hair was tied up and a piece of their robes had been torn off, the anger in their hearts nearly broke them down, but they did not expect that something that had caused them to collapse even more would happen.
However, because Baili Ziyan was sitting a little distance away, she was lucky enough to not get swept by the tree branches.
The hornet in the hornet's nest was also shocked.
Baili Ziyan and the others looked at the tree branches in front of them, completely forgetting what they should do. As for the wasp, after receiving the shock, it quickly crawled out of its nest and circled around the wasp nest.
After flying a few rounds, they flew towards Baili Ziyan and the others. For a moment, the courtyard was filled with cries of shock.
As for the noble ladies in the nearby courtyard who heard Baili Ziyan and a few others' shouts, the ones who were more curious followed the voices and walked over. When they saw Baili Ziyan and the others waving their arms while being chased by the hornets, their expressions all changed, and they screamed as they turned around and ran.
In the end, it was the nearby patrolling Chu Han who quickly rushed over with his imperial guards. Looking at the few people being chased by Hornet's Nest, he immediately recognized one of them to be his sister Chu Qin. He then took off his cape and rushed forward.
The other guards saw that their boss had done it, and quickly took off their cloaks to save Baili Ziyan and the rest, but they were not easy to mess with, as they chased after a few people without letting them go. Chu Han was helpless as he pushed Chu Qin into the pond beside the pond, and then pulled Baili Ziyan and jumped into the pond.
The rest of the Hornet's Nest could only pull Dongfang Mingzhu and Nangong Yimeng along as they jumped into the pond with "putong" and "putong", trying their best to avoid the Hornet's Nest as they continued to chase them.
