Chapter 170 - A Bastard's Bloody Drama with an Eight Points in the Heart of Rage
As an emperor, he could pamper his woman, but that did not mean that she could blatantly provoke him. If she really dared to climb the wall and escape on her own, he could guarantee that not only would she kill over a hundred Shengjing City s, she would also implicate tens of thousands of them!
Hong Zhong was shocked by Baili Yi Chen's appearance. She was too naive, thinking that Baili Yi Chen was sincerely comforting her, so she thought of using this chance to tell him that maybe he agreed out of pity for her.
However, as the saying goes, 'Accompanying a tiger is like accompanying a king'. He was just saying that things were going well when he suddenly turned hostile. If he knew that it would be so easy for him to turn hostile, he wouldn't have told him!
A wise man submits to the circumstances!
Hong Zhong immediately forced out a fawning smile: "Your majesty, don't be angry, don't be angry, I just answered the wrong question, if you ask the question again, I'll answer it again, okay?"
Hearing this, Baili Yi Chen couldn't help but smile, and then said in a cooperative manner: "Hong Zhong, what if We don't agree to let you leave the palace?" After asking that, her eyes were filled with anticipation, and she looked at Hong Zhong quietly.
Hearing that, Hong Zhong immediately twisted his thigh, and forcibly squeezed out a bit of tears. She looked at the Emperor pitifully: "Your Majesty, then I'll hold your thigh, and beg you to let me out of the palace, okay?"
"..." Baili Yi Chen's expression changed.
He must be mentally ill to believe this woman!
With an ashen face, he spoke angrily: "Hong Zhong, did you forget about the agreement between us? "If you have not forgotten, that would be for the best. I advise you not to make unnecessary struggles. If you have, I will remind you right now. You had better remember it for me."
These words were what Hong Zhong had said to her when he had confessed to her in the Holy Pond that day. He felt that it was simply too fitting to return these words to her now!
"Your Majesty, actually, based on my recent observations, your Uncle Wang treats you very well, you don't have to be on guard against him at all. Furthermore, think about it, your Uncle Wang has been the Regent for so many years, and with the power he has, if you really want to usurp the position of Emperor, do you think you would still be the Emperor?"
"Hong Zhong, do you know that arguing with the Royal Family is a capital offense!" Baili Yi Chen quickly opened his mouth to interrupt Hong Zhong. Although he knew that the Uncle Wang was doing this for his own good and pretended to be a living being of the Southern Qi, as long as he was here, his authority would be challenged. This was the same as the situation with Hong Zhong.
Especially right now, although she was obviously still unhappy in her heart, she was still able to show her support for the Uncle Wang even in a situation she was unhappy about!
This made him even more unhappy!
"Alright, alright, I was wrong. I won't talk about the imperial family anymore." Hong Zhong left and changed her words, "Actually, I think the person you should be on guard against should be Nangong Yimeng's father, who is also your uncle. From my guess, he only wants to support Nangong Yimeng to become the Empress, and then wait for her to give birth to a child with you. Afterwards, she will eliminate you and make your son the emperor. or perhaps it is more possible that he directly made the Southern Qi's Jiang Shan change her surname! "
Hearing Hong Zhong's words, Baili Yi Chen could not help but be stunned.
Although he suspected Nangong Jue as well, but there was no evidence to prove it. That was why he had no choice but to use the Uncle Wang to restrain him, and it was also for this reason that the three powers of the Southern Qi were able to create such a situation.
Hong Zhong was just a little girl, how did she know that Nangong Jue had evil intentions? Could it be that she had evidence in her hands?
"Me? It's just a guess. " Hong Zhong answered as if it was obvious. Someone who kept looking for the female lead to cause trouble was not a good person.
"..." She really should not have held any hope for this woman!
However, these words absolutely could not be spread out, otherwise, they would definitely alert the enemy. Thinking about it, his cold voice rang out, "Hong Zhong, mind your mouth. If you continue to talk about the imperial family, we will chop you off!"
Hong Zhong tactfully closed her mouth. As expected, life in this palace with a monarch as well as a tiger was too dangerous, she had to leave as soon as possible!
Baili Yi Chen glared viciously at Hong Zhong, and turned around to leave without looking back.
In the end, Hong Zhong had a lot of doubts in her heart. Didn't Baili Yi Chen come here to console him? F * ck!
The noble emperor was so angered by Hong Zhong that he ran away. Therefore, Hong Zhong had no choice but to head to the Xiwu Hall alone, to go back and have a good night's sleep.
As he was walking, Hong Zhong heard the sound of breathing came from behind him, followed by the sound of weapons piercing through the air, he instinctively turned to the right and saw that at the place where he was standing, there were a few rhombus-shaped weapons shining with a cold light.
After the sound was over, a few figures dressed in black appeared in front of Hong Zhong. They were well-built and flew down from the wall, and after they landed, they did not make any sound at all. The few people held bright willow leaf blades in their hands, and the night wind carried a cold killing intent as they charged towards Hong Zhong.
Hong Zhong laughed coldly. It had only been a month since she came to this world, but the assassinations she met, she couldn't even count with a single hand. Why was she so unlucky?
However, she also discovered that her perception of these people had become sharper and sharper. For example, she could clearly feel that among the four people in front of her, three of them had slightly better inner strength, and one of them was slightly weaker.
Without further ado, he gathered his inner Qi and attacked the few people present.
To be honest, she felt that her inner force had improved very quickly these few days and she had never had the chance to practice it. Today, she will use all of you to practice!
The willow leaf blade carried a faint ripple of light, as it swept past Hong Zhong's hair, and in that instant, a few strands of hair fell down. Hong Zhong bent down, and easily dodged the attack. After that, she quickly took a step back and tore the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb that Baili Mingyue had gifted her from her waist.
I've been practicing the whip art for a long time. Today, I'll let you taste the feeling of being whipped. I guarantee that your mother won't even know you!
After he finished thinking, the long whip in his hand whistled through the air and flew straight towards the face of the person with weaker inner force. With a "pa" sound, it landed on his face.
One person was sent flying by the whip, causing the others to become even more vicious.
The three of them surrounded Hong Zhong at the same time, their swords piercing through the sky as they waved their long whips. Wave after wave of explosions resounded in the sky, spreading far and wide.
His Majesty the Emperor, who had only walked a short distance, quickly sensed the abnormality in the air due to his strong inner force. He quickly turned around and walked back, Si Nvren, do not let anything happen to him!
Hong Zhong used Polygonum multiflorum Thunb to hold onto a person's sword, she retreated as she fought. Although her inner strength was strong, she lacked actual combat experience, and since her opponent was an expert, it was difficult for her to fight.
Just as she was thinking that, Hong Zhong felt a sharp sword Qi rushing towards her back, but she couldn't resist no matter what. She couldn't even dodge it, and thought to herself: This is bad!
However, he only felt a gust of wind around him before the sword qi disappeared.
When he turned around, he saw that Baili Yi Chen was standing behind him. He was holding a willow leaf knife with one hand. With a twist, the inner breath on the knife was instantly dissolved and the blade was broken into two.
The other black-clothed men who were holding Hong Zhong back, upon seeing this, knew that Baili Yi Chen's martial arts were not ordinary. Thus, they left one person behind to deal with Hong Zhong, while the other three went forward to fight with Baili Yi Chen.
However, Baili Yi Chen's response was very relaxed. It was as if he didn't take those three people seriously at all.
Hong Zhong looked at Baili Yi Chen with an admiring gaze. She didn't expect that Baili Yi Chen, the emperor who lived like a prince, would have such good skills! However, very quickly, she no longer had the mood to watch Baili Yi Chen fight against that person. That was because her Polygonum multiflorum Thunb was grabbed by the black-clothed person.
Seeing that, Baili Yi Chen found a chance to fly forward, held Hong Zhong's hand and pulled the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb out of the black-clothed man's hands. He then threw it at Hong Zhong: "Woman, don't get in the way.
Although Hong Zhong was unwilling to accept this order, she knew that her martial arts should not be a match for the black-robed men, and staying here would only cause trouble for Baili Yi Chen. Thus, while Baili Yi Chen was fighting with the black clothed man, she hid to the side.
In just a split-second, a few more people joined in the fighting. They were the hidden guards who were protecting Baili Yi Chen. They were the ones who had come out to protect the emperor. Not long after, the entire palace was shouting 'Capture the assassin' and 'Capture the assassin'.
The outcome of the battle was already very clear.
Hong Zhong felt that it was unlikely for there to be any more dangers, so she happily hugged her arms, and seriously watched the fight between the few people. Waves after waves of sword lights and shadows kept on flashing before Hong Zhong's eyes. She realised, she could clearly see their fighting moves, but she could not see the fight between Baili Mingyue and Hua Yurong.
Perhaps this was because his martial arts skills weren't strong enough.
Just as he was thinking, a rhombus shaped concealed weapon flew towards Hong Zhong with a cold glint. It turned out that those few people had been forced to the end, wanting to complete their mission at the last moment. Hence, a second before they were captured, they shot a diamond shaped concealed weapon at Hong Zhong.
Hong Zhong also keenly realized it. Just as she was thinking about how to dodge, she was pulled back by Baili Yi Chen, who managed to dodge the concealed weapon. However, Baili Yi Chen's arm was injured by that concealed weapon.
"Stupid woman, didn't I tell you to hide?" Baili Yi Chen used one hand to cover his arm as he scolded Hong Zhong coldly.
Hong Zhong looked at Baili Yi Chen's arm. Red blood flowed out from the wound, dyeing Baili Yi Chen's bright yellow dragon robe red. The blood on the wound was still a bit black. It was obvious that the concealed weapon was poisoned!
Hong Zhong didn't reply to Baili Yi Chen's words. Instead, she quickly reached out and tore off a piece of cloth from her skirt, quickly wrapping it around Baili Yi Chen's arm.
Such an action caused Baili Yi Chen to be stunned. The anger in his heart dissipated a bit, and he even felt that this was actually quite good!
Not long after, all of those assassins were captured by the secret guards around Baili Yi Chen. However, in the next second, before Baili Yi Chen could even say 'live', those assassins bit their poison and committed suicide, falling onto the ground and not moving at all.
Xiao Shunzi rushed over with his imperial guards and immediately saw four corpses with poison on them and the bloodstains on Baili Yi Chen's arm. He was so scared that his face turned pale, "Someone, go and get the imperial physician right now. Your majesty is injured!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone dashed off to get the royal physician.
At this time, the leader of the imperial guards led a group of people and knelt down on one knee. "It was because your subordinate's defense was not strict that you allowed these people to sneak into the palace. Please punish them, Your Majesty."
Baili Yi Chen looked at the four corpses on the ground. His eyes flashed with an obscure light. He then coldly said, "Drag them away and kill them." His ice-cold voice was filled with a domineering aura that could not be defied.
"Yes sir!"
After dealing with the imperial guards on duty, Baili Yi Chen said coldly, "Pass down the order to us, ordering Chu Han to investigate this matter thoroughly. If he doesn't manage to find out, then ask him to bring the head over to meet us!"
When Hong Zhong saw that Baili Yi Chen had finished handling all of these matters, she felt a little complicated in her heart. Actually, she had noticed that hidden weapon, and it could be avoided, but she had not expected that an emperor like Baili Yi Chen would actually disregard his own safety and help her block it!
Baili Yi Chen's heart was in a mess. Earlier, he had clearly been angered to death by her, but when he saw that she was about to be injured, he didn't even think before standing out to block it for her. It was a completely conditioned reflex.
Xiao Shunzi stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here."
"Hurry up and spread the news." Before Baili Yi Chen could speak, Hong Zhong had already opened her mouth.
… ….
Your majesty, the concealed weapon is highly toxic. Fortunately, the emperor didn't have too deep of a poison, so this humble subject has already treated your majesty's poison. The wound on your arm is a superficial wound. The old imperial physician slowly spoke after bandaging the wound on Baili Yi Chen's arm.
Baili Yi Chen looked at Hong Zhong, who had been waiting at the side the entire time, and nodded. "Mn, you may leave."
"Yes." "This humble official will take his leave." After the old imperial physician finished speaking, he took the medicine box with him and left.
Hong Zhong was just about to go up and say a few words of thanks, but before her feet had moved, she saw Nangong Lingwei quickly walking in from outside the hall, and directly ignored Hong Zhong's existence. When she saw Baili Yi Chen, her voice sounded anxious, "Chen'er, quickly let mother see where you are injured. Is it serious? "
Baili Yi Chen raised his head and smiled at her, "Imperial Mother, I'm fine."
Nangong Lingwei glared at Baili Yi Chen with a sullen face, "You said it's nothing, but you just saw the imperial physician holding so much blood-stained gauze. You're scaring Wailing Home to death, don't you know that?"
"I'm fine, it's just a superficial wound. Imperial Mother, there's no need to worry." Baili Yi Chen's originally cold voice was now filled with warmth.
Nangong Lingwei nodded with a pained heart, then turned to look at Hong Zhong, her expression unspeakably ugly. The imperial guards said that Baili Yi Chen's arm was injured because of Hong Zhong!
Hong Zhong stared at him until her back became numb. Why is this look so familiar?
Oh, yes!
He vaguely remembered that inside a certain bead, Huang Ama was also hurt because of a concubine's arm, and then she was found out by the old Buddha, and then that pitiful concubine was killed by the old Buddha secretly. At that time, the old Buddha's eyes and Nangong Lingwei's eyes were the same!
