After Hong Zhong finished making a face, he successfully saw Nangong Jue's face, which had originally been half-darkened from anger. Thus, he turned and howled at Hong Li: "Big brother, look, he's staring at me, he's staring at me, the baby is scared, wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

As Hong Zhong cried, she scanned Nangong Jue with the corner of her eyes. She realized that Nangong Jue was so angry that she almost vomited blood!

Nangong Yimeng, who had long forgotten to cry, looked at Hong Zhong in disbelief. This was the first time in her life she felt that she had truly failed!

With a light cough, he opened his mouth and interrupted: "Hong Zhong, don't be like this. The Prime Minister does not want to glare at you, you should stop crying. Didn't we ask you to help the Princess Yimeng manage the matters of the Congress of Poetry? Why did you become like this?

Nangong Yimeng looked at Baili Yi Chen in shock. What did he just say? He said that what grievances did Hong Zhong have, she would help her, but he did not doubt that Nangong Yimeng could also be the one being bullied?

Nangong Jue was even more unconvinced and took a step forward, "Your majesty!" It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with's prior actions towards Baili Yi Chen.

Baili Yi Chen's expression became solemn, and he was obviously impatient, "Prime Minister should have seen what happened just now with your own eyes. Imperial Advisor and I can bear witness to it. Prime Minister, do you think there is anything else that you need to explain?" These words were the sounds of the teacups falling to the ground that they had heard when they were outside of Phoenix Cry Palace, as well as Nangong Yimeng's explosive roar at Hong Zhong.

Nangong Jue argued: "This, is perhaps because Hong Zhong's calculations were well, but I do not know. Meng'er was taught by the empress dowager since she was young, and she grew up in the palace.

Regarding this, all the noble ladies present nodded in agreement. In truth, all along, although Nangong Yimeng was a little arrogant, she had maintained her image well, and that was why she was able to hold the position of being the leader of the Shengjing City.

It was just like how Hong Zhong had traveled through the first day and was assassinated, and was also the one who instigated Baili Ziyan to meet Hong Zhong in the imperial garden and then found someone to kill him.

"Prime Minister, are you implying that this little sister is that unreasonable person?" Hong Li said coldly, his originally warm jade-like face now carried a hint of coldness.

For a time, the atmosphere in Phoenix Cry Hall was a bit strange.

At this moment, Nangong Yimeng's heart was in a mess. She had never felt so unlucky in her entire life. However, in merely an instant, she quickly came back to her senses, lowered her head, and silently tried to gather her emotions. Not long after, she raised her head with teary eyes, looked at Hong Zhong, and said, "Third Miss, don't you think that this is too much?"

The limpid autumn water in her beautiful eyes, as well as her pale little face, made it seem as if she had suffered a great grievance. She wanted to cry yet did not dare to cry, making all the noble ladies present feel pity for her, let alone a man!

"How am I going overboard?" This time, Hong Zhong was too lazy to pretend. He turned around and looked at Nangong Yimeng with contempt: "The thing that was smashed, was you. The person who shouted at me just now, was also you. "And you still pretend to be sad and pitiful, and those who don't know it, they really think I'm bullying you."

After all, the Emperor was here, the Prime Minister was here, and Hong Li was obviously not a good person. Offending any one of them would not end up well!

"Isn't it?" As Nangong Yimeng said this, her tears fell again. Even the originally exquisite makeup on his face became a little blurry. As for Hong Zhong, although his howl was louder than her, it was still only thunder. There were no tears on his face.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Hong Zhong in unison, their eyes clearly full of contempt. Look at how angry you are with me, even using all your makeup, but what about you?

After Nangong Yimeng finished speaking, everyone understood what Nangong Yimeng meant. Baili Yi Chen also did not expose Hong Zhong because of her selfishness from before, and he felt a little awkward. Actually, he had already known that Hong Zhong was faking it long ago!

However, the main character of this matter, Hong Zhong, had a face full of indifference. She stood up straight and looked at the pitiful Nangong Yimeng: "I was worried about how hard it would be for you to act and that there would be no meaning in crying by myself, that's why I cried and accompanied you."

"Cough cough …" Coughing sounds rose and fell from the great hall, obviously because of Hong Zhong's words. Third Miss, is it really okay for you to directly expose him like that!

Hong Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Hong Zhong.

Nangong Yimeng looked at Hong Zhong, and stared blankly for a long while before finally regaining her senses, "Hong Zhong, do you mean to say that you're mocking me for my acting!?" How could the tears on her face be fake? What right did she, a fake cry, have to mock her?

Unexpectedly, Hong Zhong smiled at Nangong Yimeng's angry face, and even smiled unusually amiably. She opened her mouth and gently said: "You know about it."

— Hong Zhong, are you mocking this princess for her acting!

— You know!

Just these four words that were floating around caused Nangong Yimeng to feel as if her blood was boiling over in her stomach. She was stunned for a moment, and looked like she was about to lose her footing, and it was precisely this swaying that caused a thought to flash through Nangong Yimeng's mind. She simply closed her eyes, made a posture of about to faint, and fell towards Baili Yi Chen.

Baili Yi Chen looked at the figure that was falling towards him and subconsciously did not want her to fall into his arms. Thus, he subconsciously retreated, and agilely avoided Nangong Yimeng.

But when he saw Hong Zhong faint, with a few large strides, he rushed forward and grabbed her by the collar, and slapped her face with a few "pa pa pa" sounds!

Everyone was startled, Hong Zhong actually dared to fight in the great hall!

Baili Yi Chen also frowned slightly as he looked at Hong Zhong. He obviously didn't expect her to do such a thing! She was a little angry in her heart. Why did this woman like to slap others? Yesterday morning, she only slapped Zi Yan twice.

Within Hong Li's warm and indifferent eyes, there was also a trace of disapproval. Zhong Er was really too rash!

However, he had already mentally prepared himself. No matter how the situation developed, he wouldn't let anything happen to Hong Zhong!

Seeing that his own daughter had been beaten up, Nangong Jue felt his anger rising and he stepped forward to grab Hong Zhong's arm. "Hong Zhong, Meng'er is a Princess Yimeng, yet you dare to beat her up, what qualifications do you have to do so?"

Hong Zhong clearly felt that the grip on her arm was very strong, and the pain coming from her arm also caused her to slightly knit her brows. This move, caught in her eyes, allowed Hong Li to take a step forward and protect Hong Zhong behind her, "My sister is a imperial concubine that was sealed by the late emperor, and she is also a girl that Yun Ying did not marry.

These words were said very seriously.

Baili Yi Chen turned around and looked at Nangong Jue, "Prime Minister, if you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to trouble yourself to hold Third Miss's hand." He had never held this woman's hand before!

Nangong Jue was immediately choked up, but since his own daughter had been bullied, how could he not be moved? He coldly snorted, "Hong Zhong, you beat up the princess first, this is a fact that everyone has witnessed with their own eyes. This old man would like to see how you explain it!"

"I'm not hitting her!" Hong Zhong rolled his eyes, and explained with a serious face: "I have grown up in the Jinzhou City, and there was a saying that some people would faint for no reason, and it was a type of sickness, and must be cured! Slap him a few times will do, so I was kind enough to treat Princess Yimeng's illness. Look, isn't Princess Yimeng already awake? "

After Hong Zhong said this, everyone's eyes turned to look at Nangong Yimeng. They only saw him slapping their heads, and then falling onto the ground without taking anything out of her image, as if she had not figured out what had happened. Her face was flushed red, caused by Hong Zhong's slap!

"Don't talk nonsense!" Slap his face to treat his illness, was she toying with him, Nangong Jue, as a child!

Hong Zhong's face was full of seriousness: "I am not spouting nonsense, this is a custom in Jinzhou City, if Cheng Xiangdaren does not believe it, you can ask my servant girl, and if Cheng Xiangdaren still does not believe it, you can send someone to Jinzhou City to investigate, and see if I am lying!"

At this time, Lv Luo also left and reported: "Miss is right, Jinzhou City indeed has such an argument!"

"You!" was so angry that he only felt a sweet taste in his throat, the Jinzhou City was at the border of the Southern Qi and Xi Ling, from the Shengjing City to the Jinzhou City, even if he was riding a thousand li horse, he would have at least eight days to come here! He, the dignified prime minister of a country, would specially send someone to the Jinzhou City to investigate just for a small custom!

"Furthermore, everyone saw that Princess Yimeng had clearly fainted just now, but after being treated like this by this young miss, isn't that great?" Hong Zhong said as she smiled at the crowd.

Seeing the looks of everyone, Hong Zhong did not feel troubled anymore. Thus, she turned around and looked at Baili Yi Chen with his burning gaze, causing Hong Zhong to stare blankly at him for a moment. Baili Yi Chen slightly nodded his head, admitting that Nangong Yimeng had almost fainted just now, but to slap him in the face in order to treat her illness … She could really say that out loud!

At this time, Hong Li also laughed, "Zhong Er is truly intelligent, treating illnesses as troublesome as these are all done at will, yes, if you work harder, our Red House might even produce a genius doctor!"

"Cough cough …" Everyone lowered their heads. They had heard that young master Liu Li was gentle and elegant like the rich under the heavens, but they had never heard that young master Liu Li loved to speak nonsense!

Nangong Yimeng looked at the despised people around him, she could not even cry, much less pretend to be unconscious. In her anger, she covered her face with her hands and ran off.

Bai Lianhua had already left, everyone had already seen enough of the show, there was no point in staying, they all looked for a reason to leave! At the same time, these noble ladies all felt a bit of fear in their hearts, and silently gave Hong Zhong the label "Do not provoke", because they realized, as long as it was someone who was going against Hong Zhong, the best option would be to be extremely furious. Furthermore, they also made up their minds to avoid participating in Hong Zhong's future occasions, and it would be better to "never interact with him".

"Your majesty!" Nangong Jue was so angry that smoke almost came out from his head. He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Imperial Advisor, who was quietly observing the situation.

He caressed his white beard and slowly spoke: "Hey, Cheng Xiangdaren, in this old official's opinion, this is only a joke from my young daughter, why would the Prime Minister take it seriously? "The Emperor is busy with his daily affairs and his government is busy. Prime Minister, you really shouldn't have used such trifling matters to trouble the Emperor!"

Xue Zhiyuan was both the Dean of the Tai School and the Imperial Advisor. He had always been respected by Baili Yi Chen, and had a very important position in the Southern Qi's imperial court.

was so angry that she almost died from his words. After talking for so long, you finally remembered to open your mouth to stop him, what are you doing long ago? Was such an obvious act of protection really that interesting? But Nangong Jue knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless.

Thus, he fiercely glared at the Hong Zhong siblings. After that, without even saying goodbye to Baili Yi Chen, he turned around and left Phoenix Cry Hall with a cold snort.

Xue Zhiyuan watched Nangong Jue leave. After saying a few words to Baili Yi Chen, he left as well.

Just like this, the only two people left in Phoenix Cry Hall were the siblings, Baili Yi and Hong Li.

"Humph!" Hong Zhong also snorted coldly at Nangong Jue's back, then turned to look at Hong Li: "Big Brother, do you think that the 'hmph –' sound I made just now is similar to Nangong Jue's? Humph! Humph! "Humph!" After saying that, he raised her nose and humphed a few more times.

"Alright, is this enough?" Hong Li smiled blandly, as he played with Hong Zhong's hair.

Hearing Hong Li's words, it was obvious that he knew from the very beginning that she was faking it, including the part where he was faking his tears. Thus, he stuck out his tongue embarrassedly: "Enough of this, but I'm so thirsty, drink your saliva first." Then, he turned around and drank a mouthful of tea. Speaking of which, after speaking so much with Bai Lianhua, he was truly thirsty!
