Chapter 148 - The Rage of the Monarch is more important than my own life!

"Don't worry. Nothing will happen to me before the girl is fine." He knew what Baili Yi Chen meant. It was unknown when the two of them had separated. However, now that Baili Yi Chen was able to take the initiative and speak out about his body, regardless of the reason, this was definitely something that would make Baili Mingyue happy. "Send someone inside to take care of the elegant aftermath."

These words could be considered as explaining to Baili Yi Chen the reason why Hong Zhong had turned into such a state.

Baili Yi Chen nodded, watching as Baili Mingyue brought Hong Zhong and disappeared into the distance, an indescribable feeling in his heart.

… ….

This time, although Hong Zhong's face was tainted with many stains, she did not sustain any injuries. Only, when her hand pushed away the beam, she was scalded. After the imperial physician came over to check her pulse, he prescribed some good Jade Dew Ointment, which he said was a guarantee that there would be no scars in the future.

After sending the imperial physician away, Baili Mingyue turned around and sat down on the bedside, looking at Hong Zhong with heartache.

Hong Zhong lied on the bed and wasn't listening to the imperial physician at all; she was just staring at the bed curtain above him in a daze.

She remembered. She remembered everything!

The sisters who had spoiled her for more than twenty years were all gone!

And the one who caused that ending was himself. If he didn't believe Chen Hao's words at that time and brought him back to the orphanage, would the end of the matter be like that? If the orphanage wasn't burnt down, his sisters wouldn't have died!

She still remembered that her elegance was gone as well!

And the cause of this ending was herself!

If Qingya hadn't pushed herself away in the great hall, she wouldn't have been injured; If Qingya hadn't followed orders to destroy Nangong Yimeng's guqin, she wouldn't have been captured; If Qingya hadn't met such a troublesome young miss … Then, she must be alive and well right now!

Unfortunately, there was no such thing as' if '!

The first time she was struck by a wooden board by Baili Yi Chen, it was Qingya who had ignored her own safety to help her escape. She still remembered that when the National Temple was assassinated, she was the one who held back those assassins and allowed her to escape, and she also remembered that she had once promised her that after Empress Dowager's birthday feast arrived, she would bring Qingya and Lv Luo along to Beiming Yan City to find her little sister.

But, the Empress Dowager's birthday feast was about to pass, and the elegance was gone!

As she thought of this, sparkling clear tears rolled down her fair face and dripped onto the pillow.

Looking at Hong Zhong's expression, Baili Mingyue's heart twitched uncontrollably. Her jade-like face revealed a trace of abnormal white color, and he endured the heart-wrenching pain coming from his body. He extended a hand to wipe the tears off Hong Zhong's face, but felt that Hong Zhong, who was under the blanket, was trembling. Even though she was holding it in, he still felt very uncomfortable.

Hong Zhong raised her hand to push Baili Mingyue's hand away, pulling her blanket over herself and tightly wrapping herself inside. "Uncle, you can leave, I want to sleep." Perhaps, everything that happened before was just a dream. Her sisters did not die, nor did Qingya. When she woke up, she would be able to see Qingya returning!

Baili Mingyue could not bear to see Hong Zhong who was barely holding herself back. He would rather she cry loudly right now or vent out some more, than for him to let her endure like this! He looked at the shivering figure in the quilt for a long time before finally getting up and leaving. As he got out of the room, he held onto the door frame to stabilize himself. Fresh blood oozed out of his mouth.

Wu Hen, who had been guarding outside the whole time saw the situation, and walked forward: "Master, are you alright?" He asked, but Wu Hen was very clear about the answer. Master had a relapse of the cold poison, and was using his Qi forcefully, so how could he possibly be alright?

"I'm fine." Baili Mingyue took the brocade handkerchief from Wu Hen and wiped the blood from her lips. After instructing Wu Hen to send more people to the Xiwu Hall, they returned back to the Bright Moon Hall to recuperate.

… ….

Hong Zhong slept for three days.

Every time he woke up, he would cry. He would sleep when he was tired from crying and cry when he woke up … This cycle continued for several days without any water dripping in it.

These three days were the empress dowager's birthday feast. Other than the important officials in the Southern Qi Palace, Baili Yi Chen did not have the time to visit her. Baili Mingyue, Murong Youqi, Hong Zhan, Baili Yaoji, Hong Li who was not part of the imperial court, even Chu Lingshan and Bei Chenyue had all come to visit her. However, they were all rejected by Hong Zhong and they didn't even manage to enter the main entrance of the Xiwu Hall.

During this period, Baili Yi Chen had also issued an order to forcefully open the doors of the Xiwu Hall, allowing the imperial doctors to enter to treat Hong Zhong's illness. However, they were all chased out by Hong Zhong in a state of imminent death. In order to not let Hong Zhong get injured, they didn't dare to forcibly enter the Xiwu Hall.

night cold

Beneath a big tree at the entrance of Xiwu Hall, Baili Yi Chen looked at the displeased Baili Mingyue. Honestly speaking, it had been a long time since he last saw such a terrifying expression on Uncle Wang's face. "Uncle Wang, this matter is none of Yan'er's business." All of these things were caused by Nangong Jue and his daughter!

"I know." Baili Mingyue gazed into the Xiwu Hall, and spoke indifferently without even looking back.

You know, you still confined her in the Yanran Palace, she's already been crying there for three days. Although he felt that Baili Ziyan wanted to teach her a lesson, if this goes on, his mother's side might not be able to let him go.

Baili Yi Chen still wanted to say something, but after hearing the clear and loud voice of Baili Mingyue, he said with an ice-cold tone, "If not for the fact that she is of royal blood, she wouldn't be alive today."

Baili Ziyan had always been the one looking for trouble with Hong Zhong, Baili Yi Chen was aware of this. Naturally, she also knew that Baili Mingyue was already exceptionally generous to her. After thinking for a moment, she decided to say the words that had been on her mind for a long time: "Uncle Wang, is she really that important to you?" It was more important than his own niece's life!

Baili Mingyue turned around and glanced at Baili Yi Chen. She knew that he was planning to reveal his cards to her and nodded seriously, "It's important. It's even more important than my own life."

"But she was personally bestowed the title of imperial concubine by the late emperor." In the future, she would be his woman, and he would be Baili Mingyue's niece. He treated Hong Zhong like this, putting him, the Southern Qi's emperor, and his ethics in such a place! He placed the late emperor's testamentary edict in such a place, and he, Baili Yi Chen, the Southern Qi's emperor, in such a place!

Hearing this, Baili Mingyue paused slightly. Royal brother, the royal father of Baili Yi Chen, the elder brother who was the best to him in his entire life. Before he died, he once placed his most beloved son and the entire Southern Qi in the hands of his elder brother, who could be at ease.

After a moment of silence, Baili Mingyue slowly spoke: "Yichen, you should understand that in front of true love, everyone has the chance to fight for it. In front of Hong Zhong, I can compete fairly with you, and if Zhong Er chooses you from now on, I will let go!"

Love, was not a selfish act of possession, but a protection of affection. If Hong Zhong really did not choose to love him, then she would retreat and quietly protect her.

Love, also not must have her, but as long as she can be happy, good!

As long as Hong Zhong personally told him that her choice was not him, then he would respect Hong Zhong's choice. Even if he let go of her, she would still be riddled with wounds and bleeding profusely!

"Uncle Wang, is what you said true?" For the first time, Baili Yi Chen looked a bit excited. A few days ago, after the Holy Pond had confessed, although Hong Zhong had already rejected him, and he had indeed thought of letting go.

But since the incident with Hong Zhong, his heart was filled with endless worry and anxiety, as if she was going against him. The more she wanted to forget, the more impossible it was for him to do so.

Since he couldn't let go, then he should fight for it, right?

Baili Mingyue also nodded seriously: "Yes! However, in the end, after the girl has made her decision, one of them must let go of her hand and not go back on her words! " This was the last concession he had made on Hong Zhong!

He understood that Hong Zhong's current identity was still the imperial concubine. If Baili Yi Chen was not willing to let go, then even if Hong Zhong was with him in the future, Hong Zhong would still bear the brunt of the humiliation for the rest of her life. This was something that the Uncle Wang was not willing to see!

After thinking seriously for a moment, Baili Yi Chen finally nodded, "Alright. "I promise you, but the most important thing right now is, that woman has been inside for two whole days without food or water. What should we do?"

"Baili Mingyue glanced at the inside of the Xiwu Hall. Actually, he knew how to rouse the little girl, but he really couldn't bear to see Hong Zhong in that state. He really didn't want to!" Give that girl another day's time. "

If that girl still refused to come out tomorrow, he could only use the method he didn't want to see!

… ….

The Empress Dowager's birthday feast ended yesterday, and Beiming, Xi Ling and the envoys that the Zhonghe City sent, were going back today. Baili Yi Chen was relieved and handed these matters to Baili Mingyue, while he worriedly went to the entrance of the Xiwu Hall. It was already the fourth day, and there were still no signs that the door to the Xiwu Hall would open.

And at this time, in the inner courtyard of Xiwu Hall, there was a sloppy and careless figure. Murong Youqi brought his loyal follower, Student Whiteboard, and climbed over the wall into the courtyard from a corner of the Xiwu Hall. Murong Youqi swept the fan in his hand, glanced at the tightly shut gates of the Xiwu Hall, and laughed coldly with disdain: "This group of idiots, when Hong Zhong said that she wouldn't enter, she really did wait at the door. She said that the gates weren't allowed in, and didn't she say that they couldn't climb over the walls." With that said, he waved his fan and walked towards Hong Zhong's room.

Whiteboard was also speechless as he followed behind his master. He knew that his master loved to climb over walls. In the past, whenever the prince angered the emperor, he would be ordered by the emperor to restrict his movements. However, every time, the prince could jump over the wall and continue to live a carefree life.

But a prince, this is not Dong Heng's palace, nor is it your prince's palace. This is the Palace of South Qi, you want to jump over a wall so easily, and you look down on others for not knowing where you are going over a wall?

When he returned, he was afraid that he would be impeached by the envoys again. Forget it, the prince had already gotten used to being impeached!

Murong Youqi walked in front of Hong Zhong's room and was discovered by him.

Lv Luo was just about to call for help to stop him from entering, but she saw that Murong Youqi's face had turned cold, there was a seriousness on it that she had never shown before, it made Lv Luo's hair stand on end: "If you want your young miss to continue sleeping like this, then call for help!" After which, he pushed the door open and entered without any hesitation.

Lv Luo opened her mouth, but in the end, she did not say anything.

She had seen Miss's dejection in the past few days and tried to persuade her, but at the beginning, Miss would chase her out, but in the end, she couldn't even be bothered to do so. She just turned a deaf ear! The Fourth Prince and Young Miss Dong Heng were friends, so he could only persuade her.

Murong Youqi pushed open the door, and saw the person who had been unconscious on the bed. A trace of impatience flashed across his eyes as a smile appeared on his face. "You little demoness. This prince has come to see you. Hurry up and get up."

But this time, she'd slept for three days.

No matter how long she slept, she would still remember those painful memories when she woke up. Hearing Murong Youqi's beautiful voice, she did not have much of an expression on her face, she only glanced at him quietly, and continued to look at the ceiling expressionlessly.

Seeing Hong Zhong ignoring him, Murong Youqi was not too surprised. He lifted his clothes and sat on the side of Hong Zhong's bed, waving his fan as he spoke in an indifferent tone: "It's fortunate that this prince is still thinking about you. I didn't expect you to be so carefree."

The white board was behind Murong Youqi, it really wanted to speak up and remind him. Master, the Third Miss was obviously so weak that her face was pale, is this look really related to being relaxed?

She didn't want to see anyone now, didn't want to say anything. "Are you here to persuade me?"

"Persuade you?" What does this prince advise you to do? " Murong Youqi raised his eyebrows. "This prince only came to tell you that the's Empress Dowager's birthday is over."

"Oh." Hong Zhong replied, I understand.

After sweeping a glance at the expressionless Hong Zhong, she knew that she did not understand her intentions. Murong Youqi then continued to remind her, "After the Empress Dowager's birthday feast, will be the Southern Qi's posthumous grand ceremony!"

After Hong Zhong heard this, a moment of hesitation appeared on her face.

Seeing that Hong Zhong had started to become interested, Murong Youqi knew that she was listening to him, and the corner of her mouth hooked up: "The clan of the Baili Royal Family, has already confirmed who will enter the harem as the beautiful woman, and the Queen of the Southern Qi will be chosen from among these people. If you continue to sleep like this, once that person becomes the Queen, the first person you want to kill will be you.

Baili Yi Chen couldn't do anything to Hong Zhong because he knew that this matter was related to Baili Ziyan. Furthermore, as a direct descendant of the Baili Royal Family, he couldn't do anything to encourage Hong Zhong and kill his own sister for revenge. As for Baili Mingyue, he had pretty much known about this since long ago, but he really didn't want Hong Zhong to live in hatred, so he didn't want to take advantage of her elegant death.
