Chapter 155 - The Crime of Monarch's Murdering

Being praised by Hong Zhong like that, the anger in Nangong Lingwei's heart lessened, but her expression was still a little ugly. She impatiently waved her hand and said, "Forget it, Hong Zhong, don't talk about other things.

"Yes." Hong Zhong lowered her head to look at Baili Ziyan, and then spoke in a serious tone: "Before maidservant speaks, why don't you allow Grand Princess to explain to you why she has come to my Xiwu Hall?"

After Baili Ziyan heard this, she lowered her head in embarrassment. She came to the Xiwu Hall naturally because she had been in the great hall, and because of Murong Youqi's matter, she had been slapped in the face by her royal brother.

That was impossible!

Everyone's gazes turned to look at Baili Ziyan in silence for a while, but did not say what they were thinking. The corner of Hong Zhong's lips curled up as she pointed at the Xiao Gongnv people beside him and asked, "Since Grand Princess is unable to say it, then tell me, what is it that Grand Princess speaks the most when she comes to the Xiwu Hall?"

Xiao Gongnv and the others looked at each other, not daring to step forward. Although it was obvious that the Grand Princess was looking for trouble, they did not dare to offend the Grand Princess!

Lv Luo looked at the timid Xiao Gongnv, then left and bowed to the empress dowager. "Return to the emperor, return to the Esteemed Empress Dowager, Grand Princess said she wants to kill our young miss!"

"Is that so?" Baili Yi Chen turned his head towards Baili Ziyan in displeasure, his clear eyes bringing about a chill that would cause one's heart to tremble. He knew that Baili Ziyan was simply as stupid as a pig!

Baili Ziyan originally wanted to retort, but when she raised his head, she felt Baili Yi Chen's ice-cold gaze. She was scared witless and did not even dare to speak, his head lowered.

Seeing that Baili Ziyan did not say anything, Baili Yi Chen turned his head and said, "Tell me, if you can't say it, drag them all down and cut them down!"

With that, all of the Xiao Gongnv standing at the side kneeled down as they talked about what had happened before while trembling in fear. When Baili Ziyan mentioned that she wanted to kill Hong Zhong several times, the coldness in Baili Yi Chen's eyes became even more obvious.

Of course, when Xiao Gongnv said that, she did not forget to add some words on the side. The main point was that since Baili Ziyan wanted to kill Hong Zhong, when everyone was done talking, Baili Ziyan had already come to find trouble to kill Hong Zhong herself. And Hong Zhong had merely slapped her twice in order to defend herself.

This time, even Nangong Lingwei didn't know what to say about her daughter.

Just then, Nangong Yimeng spoke again: "Even if the Grand Princess was the one at fault, the Grand Princess is still a Monarch. Hong Zhong, have you forgotten that ever since the ancient Monarch wanted this subject to die, this subject has no choice but to die. Even if the Grand Princess truly wants you to die, Hong Zhong, you still dare to retaliate. What exactly do you mean by this, or do you think that just because you have a Gold Medal for Free from Death, you don't put the princess, empress dowager, and even the late emperor in your eyes? "

Nangong Yimeng was indeed the most talented girl in the Shengjing City, and she quickly thought of this reason. She first used the theory that there was no choice but to die as a result of feudal thinking to remind everyone that Hong Zhong was wrong to resist in the first place. This meant that Hong Zhong had the Gold Medal for Free from Death s, so he took advantage of her, and swore to prove that Hong Zhong had killed him.

But how could Hong Zhong let her succeed? She laughed: "Miss Nan Gong, you also said that Hong Zhong had a Gold Medal for Free from Death bestowed by the late emperor, although maidservant's identity is low, but she had a Gold Medal for Free from Death bestowed by the late emperor, so seeing the golden token is like seeing His Majesty. In that case, the identity of the maidservant and Princess is not much different."

"This …" The empress dowager and Baili Ziyan didn't know what to say.

"Furthermore, the late emperor bestowed upon me Gold Medal for Free from Death to prevent me from committing a death sentence. Since the Grand Princess came to my Xiwu Hall to kill me, then can I ask where the previous emperor is going to land if I go against the late emperor's testamentary edict?" Hmph, do you think I can't keep using the monarch's officials to bully me?

As Baili Ziyan watched, she felt hopeless and looked at the empress dowager with a wronged expression, "Imperial Mother."

Nangong Lingwei shifted her gaze away somewhat embarrassedly. Actually, her daughter was beaten up like this, and naturally, she also felt sorry for her daughter, but the things that Hong Zhong had said were all within reason. She couldn't find any fault with it, even if she wanted to support her own daughter, she couldn't find any excuses!

If she didn't give Hong Zhong a punishment, it would be hard for him to convince the masses. "Baili Yi Chen coughed lightly," No matter what, it's a fact that the Grand Princess was beaten up by you, Hong Zhong, and if you don't punish the people, it'll be hard for you to be convinced. It's better that you manage the Congress of Poetry tomorrow by yourself.

Nangong Lingwei felt uncomfortable inside, but she couldn't say anything as she waved her hand to indicate that she was ready.

The Congress of Poetry was chosen by the beautiful ladies this time, there were many things to do, the process was very complicated, and being managed by Hong Zhong alone, was extremely forced, if not handled well, the 40 boards, could be considered as a very heavy punishment.

Taking a step back, even if it was done well, she would probably be exhausted.

But the empress dowager did agree, leaving some people beside her a little unhappy.

That Congress of Poetry was an opportunity that Nangong Yimeng had prepared to make good use of in order to make up for her loss of performance during the birthday banquet. Most importantly, from the start, it had all been arranged by Nangong Yimeng, and everything was ready for him.

He pulled on Nangong Lingwei's sleeves and whispered, "Aunt, that Congress of Poetry, didn't she always let Meng'er manage it?" The meaning in his words was, I have almost finished preparing everything, what is there to do with Hong Zhong!

Nangong Yimeng's words directly exposed Baili Yi Chen's intentions. He just wanted to find a chance to protect that woman, but that was originally Nangong Yimeng's credit, so how could he be willing to let Hong Zhong snatch it away.

After Nangong Lingwei heard this, she also understood what she meant. Just as she was about to speak, Baili Yi Chen spoke first, "Hong Zhong, did you hear that? From now on, you have to assist the Princess Yimeng in the preparation of the Congress of Poetry.

After she finished speaking, she intentionally put on a straight face and emphasized her words. She simply did not give the empress dowager, Nangong Yimeng, and Hong Zhong the chance to speak.

On the other hand, Nangong Yimeng was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

He'd clearly wanted to remind the empress dowager that he'd already done it himself so she could change the punishment, but he'd allowed her to do so. And this was even an imperial edict from Baili Yi Chen! This infuriated her to death!

Looking at Hong Zhong, a burst of sinister flowing light flashed across her eyes again and again. Hong Zhong, don't think that this matter will be let go just like that, I, this princess, won't let you off so easily!

… ….

Phoenix Cry Palace

Hong Zhong sat on the side of the table, bored. She poked at the pastries on the table and waited for Nangong Yimeng's arrival.

Right now, she had followed the imperial edict and was assisting Nangong Yimeng in preparing for the Congress of Poetry. And there were also a few other girls in the room. Chu Qin, Dongfang Mingzhu, Bei Chenyue, Chu Lingshan and the others were all present, but the main character Nangong Yimeng was not there!

Chu Lingshan looked at Hong Zhong who was poking at the pastries, and suddenly saw that she was still a little surprised, so he intentionally picked a seat beside her to sit down: "Zhong Er, were you invited by Nangong Yimeng because of Congress of Poetry?" Nangong Yimeng and Hong Zhong were at loggerheads, logically speaking, she should not be so kind.

"Right." Hong Zhong nodded speechlessly. This Nangong Yimeng, who had just finished her lunch, said that she wanted to help her discuss the Congress of Poetry's matter. However, she had been here for two hours already. Pfft, she still hadn't come. She was clearly trying to put on airs in front of everyone!

Seeing Hong Zhong's frown, Chu Lingshan thought that she was worried that Nangong Yimeng would make things difficult for her intentionally, so she comforted him: "Actually, Congress of Poetry is more or less done with her preparations.

"Yes, yes." Hong Zhong nodded at her. Actually, she was not worrying about the matters of the Congress of Poetry at all, but because Nangong Yimeng's plan had failed, she was sure that she would find a way to cause trouble for her. So what she was curious about was, what kind of method would Nangong Yimeng use to deal with her?

Chu Qin and Dongfang Mingzhu were also discussing softly from the side, but from the faint gazes that they shot over, Hong Zhong could still feel that they had enmity towards him!

Just as he was thinking, he heard the young eunuch say loudly, "Princess Yimeng — — here!"

Immediately after, Nangong Yimeng slowly walked in from outside the Phoenix's Cry Hall, and everyone's gaze naturally turned towards him as well. Nangong Yimeng had an indifferent expression, and did not make them feel any guilt in waiting for two hours.

Everyone bowed their heads: "Greetings, Princess Yimeng."

Nangong Yimeng slowly walked through the crowd, raising her head, taking one step at a time, making him look extremely noble., who was behind him, unhappily curled her lips and muttered: "Why are you putting on such a airs in front of so many noble women, do you really think that she is a queen?"

Hong Zhong swept his gaze across her and indicated for her to pay attention to her words. Lv Luo knew she made a mistake, so she stuck out her tongue and quickly lowered his head.

Only after Nangong Yimeng walked to the very top did she slowly turn around and look down on all of the noble daughters present. "All of you are here.

With that, she brought out the Empress Dowager. With his superior status and the love of the Empress Dowager, it showed off her superior aura. Who would dare to say a word to her?

"There's nothing important for us to do after a while, but it's you, Princess, who needs to prepare for and serve Esteemed Empress Dowager. It's been hard on you." Chu Qin flattered his with his novel.

Chu Qin's flattering words, coupled with some of the noble ladies' envious gazes, largely satisfied Nangong Yimeng's vanity. She was just about to open her mouth to be polite to them, but was snatched away by Hong Zhong first, "I had thought that the princess was late because she still hadn't finished copying the Bodhisattva Sutra.

Hong Zhong said this as if she was taking the lead to cause trouble.

However, for this woman who had an irreconcilable feud with him, there was no need for him to be polite to her. Hmph, if he wanted to act cool in front of her, he would have to weigh the pros and cons!

"Cough cough …" The noble ladies immediately felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was extremely tense. Many of them knew a little about the grudge between Hong Zhong and Hong Zhong, so when they saw the two of them fighting, they were extremely happy.

Then, the result was still out of everyone's expectations. Nangong Yimeng's face merely stiffened for a moment, although her expression was not very good, he still squeezed out a smile. "Third Miss is overthinking it, I have already completed copying the Bodhisattva Scripture."

She started copying since yesterday, all the way until dawn. When she returned from the Xiwu Hall in the morning, she even copied for more than two hours before she finished copying all twenty times of the Bodhisattva Scripture. As for the reason, it was naturally to make time to prepare for the Congress of Poetry s.

"That's good." Hong Zhong raised her eyebrows, if it was Baili Ziyan, she would probably jump up and fight with her, but in her heart, Nangong Yimeng was clearly so angry that she wanted to die, but she could still pretend that she did not care, for it had to be said that Nangong Yimeng was more tolerant than Baili Ziyan, but it was also more difficult to deal with!

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little weird between the two, no one dared to speak, afraid that if they were not careful, they would get into trouble. On the other hand, Chu Lingshan broke the awkward silence between the two with a smile: "Since everyone is here, why don't we begin.

"That's true." The noble ladies at the side echoed him.

Nangong Yimeng raised her eyebrows, turned and took a book from the eunuch's hands, then handed it over to Hong Zhong: "If you're not talented, then with the help of various misses, you've drawn up this Congress of Poetry's flow chart. Hong Zhong, you were actually assisted by an order, take a look at this process, if there's anything you're not satisfied with, we can discuss it with everyone again."

What she said was reasonable and fully reflected her gentle and virtuous, humble and prudent character.

Hong Zhong did not hold back, she gave Lv Luo a meaningful glance and Lv Luo went forward to take the book in front of Hong Zhong.

Hong Zhong pretended to be serious and turned the page, since she was carrying the title of assistance under the decree. In front of everyone, she had to put on an adequate face. If one looked carefully, they would realize that the Congress of Poetry was actually just a small party that started in the evening and held up the poem's name.
