When everyone heard this, they all turned to look at Hong Zhong. The situation before their eyes was clear, the eunuchs in the Phoenix-Resting Palace saw Hong Zhong bringing the Chestnut Soup to the empress dowager to eat, and also found the exact same poison as the empress dowager on Hong Zhong's body.

If it was said that Hong Zhong poisoning the empress dowager was only a suspicion, then this jade hairpin that contained poison was the absolute proof for Hong Zhong's conviction.

Nangong Jue was the first to lose control of himself as he jumped up and shouted at Hong Zhong, "Hong Zhong, let's see how you're going to explain this!"

Hearing the imperial physician's words, Hong Zhong was also stunned. The poison in the hairpin was exactly the same as the one taken by the empress dowager?

But very quickly, her thoughts returned to the cage and she realised that she had been wrong before.

Previously, she had thought that the ones who had always been assassinating her in secret was only Nangong Yimeng and Baili Ziyan, but today's matter had exposed the hidden BOSS that was always hidden in the darkness. This was originally supposed to be a trap set up by Nangong Lingwei, a trap to get rid of Hong Zhong, and a trap that had begun since the day Hong Zhong came back!

Hong Zhong never thought that Nangong Lingwei would have wanted to get rid of her so early on in order to find a chance to give her a White Jade Magnolia hairpin that contained poison. As long as she felt that she was unable to control Hong Zhong, she could 'poison' her at any time and get rid of him!

He looked at Baili Yi Chen and said, "I have no enmity with the empress dowager, I don't have any motive to poison her. Of course, I am currently the biggest suspect, so I am willing to go to the Sky Prison to be investigated by the Supreme Court."

Baili Yi Chen paused, and in the end, clenched his teeth: "Men, bring Hong Zhong to the Sky Prison!"

… ….

When the news of Hong Zhong's imprisonment arrived, the Regent King was handling the aftermath of the water calamity.

After hearing Wu Shang's report, Baili Mingyue was stunned, and immediately put down the imperial report in her hands. Wu Shang left and stood up, exhorting: "Master, it was the emperor who ordered Third Miss to be taken in, it's not appropriate for you to save her now."

No matter what, the Emperor's words were still an imperial edict. Master taking Hong Zhong away was undoubtedly provoking the Emperor's might, and Hong Zhong was still a imperial concubine.

Baili Mingyue paused, frowning slightly. After a long while, she sighed faintly: "Then, send someone to investigate and ensure that the real culprit is caught. No matter who it is, this king will make sure he pays for it. Also, tell the people in the Sky Prison to take good care of Third Miss. "

It wasn't easy for Yi Chen to establish his monarch's might. He couldn't just destroy it, but he couldn't let that girl suffer.

"Yes, your subordinate will take care of it." Wu Shang quickly replied.

Baili Mingyue knitted her brows, slowly returning to her seat. She then thought for a moment before asking, "How is the empress dowager?"

"Esteemed Empress Dowager is poisoned, the doctors are doing their best to save them right now, but from the looks of it, there shouldn't be a problem!" If that group of imperial doctors were truly helpless, they would've told the emperor a long time ago. They wouldn't have delayed it for so long.

"Mm, if the empress dowager wakes up, report it to This King in time." It seemed like it was time to talk to her.

When the gyrfalcon sent the letter out with the news, he received the news that Hong Zhong was going to prison. Before entering the palace late at night, he instructed the people in the sky, "All of you, prepare yourselves.

"Yes sir!" A man's voice answered from the shadows, and then he asked, "Miss left, what about you?"

Hong Zhan sighed and said, "This matter requires someone to bear the consequences!"

… ….

Hong Zhong was followed all the way, and by the time she reached the Sky Prison, everything inside had been taken care of.

Other than the guards being respectful to her, the floor was swept clean and the bedding on the bed was brand-new as well. Hong Zhong was even scared when she walked in and quickly retreated.

He then turned around and looked at the guard, pointing to a room inside: "Is this where I want to live?" This Southern Qi's standard of living is really high, even going to prison has such good treatment!

The prison warden nodded his head repeatedly, and looked at Hong Zhong as he replied in a flirtatious tone: "Yes, yes, Lord Wu Shang has come to inform me previously, these few days, xiaojie, you should stay here for a few days. If there's anything you need, just instruct me."

Hong Zhong immediately understood that it was all because of Baili Mingyue. However, this uncle was rather sensible and knew that she was going to jail, so he even came to clear things up.

Seeing everything that he had done, Hong Zhong's heart, which had originally become uneasy after being framed, felt at ease at this moment. It was as if the sky would never collapse with him here.

He walked into the cell without any hesitation and fell on top of the brand-new blanket. Touching the blanket beneath him, he couldn't help but find it funny. He didn't expect that this was the first time in her life she was going to jail.

After about fifteen minutes, the prison guard from before walked in again, holding a box of food in his hands. He said that he was here to deliver food to Hong Zhong.

If he did not say that Hong Zhong had not sensed it, it was already time for dinner.

The prison warden opened the door and walked in: "Third Miss, please!" After saying that, he set up several side dishes and a big bowl of white rice on the table.

Hong Zhong looked at the dishes, Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, Donghu Crab Soup, Golden Chicken … They were all things she loved to eat. There seemed to be only one possibility of eating such a good meal in the prison!

Hong Zhong unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked in disbelief: "Such a good meal, could it be for me?"

The jailer was amused by Hong Zhong's actions and immediately explained: "No, no, these dishes were personally delivered by Master Wu Shang of the Regent's Mansion. Miss can eat without worry!"

Uncle again?

This kind of treatment is better than nothing. How is this about going to jail? It's clearly just going to the prison to buy food and lodging for a few days.

However, since it was sent from the Shezhengwang's Palace, it should not be a problem, thus Hong Zhong was very relieved to eat it, and not long after, all the food she liked to eat was exterminated.

After finishing his meal, Hong Zhong sat on his bed, following his thoughts and stroking the events of the past few days.

Actually, now that she thought about it, the day that she came back from the National Temple, the day that the empress dowager brought people to the Xiwu Hall to search for the fake Gold Medal for Free from Death, Lv Luo said that the spy in the Xiwu Hall, was very likely to be someone close to the empress dowager.

It's just that at that time, she was too busy arguing with Baili Ziyan that she neglected such an important matter. How could the empress dowager's people run over to report to Baili Ziyan?

How stupid!

He scolded himself in his heart and sighed. Suddenly, he smelled a faint fragrance in the air. It was a very nice smell.

He turned his head, and saw Hong Chang standing in front of his cell, with a pair of beautiful peach eyes on Qingcheng's exceptional face. She looked at him with a smile, and her extremely captivating voice slowly sounded out: Yo, looks like Xiao Zhonger's days are pretty good.

Hong Zhong glared at him in displeasure. To dare tease her at a time like this, how annoying!

Holding the door of the cell, he looked outside and asked cautiously, "Flower, did anyone notice you when you came here? What are you doing here?"

"Oh, ah? "Ahhh!" Hong Zhong's voice suddenly changed to three different tones, as she looked at Hua Yurong with a face full of nervousness: "You were discovered? Then why are you still so calm! This is the Sky Prison, breaking into the Sky Prison is a capital offense, quickly leave! "

"Heh heh... Xiao Zhonger, you look so cute when you're worried about me! " Hua Yurong looked at Hong Zhong and was in an extremely good mood, "It wasn't in vain for me to risk losing my head and run in here to take revenge. However, you don't have to worry.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Hong Zhong stared at him speechlessly: "Speaking of which, how do you know that I'm being held here? Why hasn't my second brother come?"

When Hua Yurong heard Hong Zhong mention Red Battle, a trace of displeasure flashed across her face. His charming voice carried a bit of hidden bitterness: "Why Red War? Why, do you think that Xiao Zhonger doesn't believe that I can save you from this place? "

"What did you say!" With a tiger-like face, Hong Zhong realised that Hua Yurong's emotions changed a little too quickly! "It's not that I don't believe you, but this time's affair is tricky. The evidence against the empress dowager is conclusive. I'll need second brother to help me investigate some matters."

Hua Yurong smiled and said: "When Hong Zhan heard about you, he entered the palace late into the night. I was bored, so I came to see you. But then again, since they framed you and the evidence is conclusive, what can you find out? So, Xiao Zhonger should just follow me far away, we will go wandering together in the Jianghu and never come back. "

Upon hearing this, Hong Zhong shook her head decisively. "Not only am I unable to leave, I also have to work hard to find evidence that the empress dowager has framed me, because if I go with you, the crime of poisoning the empress dowager will be done."

Hua Yurong paused for a bit, and with an expression that seemed to say "I knew you were like this", his bewitching voice slowly sounded, "Can you find evidence just by staying in this Sky Prison? Are you going or not? " After she finished speaking, under Hong Zhong's dumbstruck gaze, she walked in through the big door of the Sky Prison.

Hong Zhong looked at Hua Yurong, and then looked at the dungeon gate that had been opened by Hua Yurong unknowingly. How did he open it in the end?

Could it be a master key?

But wasn't Murong Youqi's master key in the pocket at his waist?

"Still looking? Aren't you going to go out and look for clues?" Hua Yurong looked at Hong Zhong with a funny expression.

"Let's go!" Actually, she had also planned to find a chance to sneak out tonight, to test if she could find any evidence that would benefit her, but she did not expect Hua Yurong to actually look for her.

When Hong Zhong left the dungeon, she discovered that all the prison guards had disappeared without a trace. She left the prison without a hitch. Why is everyone gone.

"Didn't I already say it?" Those who found me were all knocked unconscious by me. Furthermore, even with those scum that Nangong Jue sent, do you think you can stop me? " said as a matter of course, causing a drop of the giant guy's blood to slide down Hong Zhong's forehead. Flowery Young Master, has the entire Sky Prison found you?

You want to rob a prison with just this bit of cultivation, are you sent by the monkey to be funny!?

Hua Yurong brought Hong Zhong all the way towards the imperial palace, and in the end, successfully dodged the imperial guards' protection, and snuck into the imperial palace. "Xiao Zhonger, do you have a clue about this matter?"

"I know that the empress dowager is trying to frame me." Hong Zhong said seriously.

Hua Yurong thought for a while, then said in a charming voice: "Oh, so that's how it is. Then let's go straight to the Phoenix-Resting Palace and interrogate that old granny?"

"Interrogate him directly?" Hong Zhong was startled, then she understood what Hua Yurong meant. Since Nangong Lingwei had already made the preparations to frame her, then she naturally didn't have any unnecessary clues to help him turn the situation around.

Nodding his head, he replied, "We can indeed question him directly, but it's not us. It's me, because you have to help me with something." As he said that, he moved close to Hua Yurong's ear and whispered into it.

When Hua Yurong went to the Phoenix-Resting Palace to rule him out, Hua Yurong initially felt extremely unhappy. However, after hearing Hong Zhong's instructions, she nodded and said to Hong Zhong, "Then be careful." After that, he flew into the darkness.

After Hua Yurong left, Hong Zhong headed towards the Phoenix-Resting Palace.

… ….

After being saved by the imperial physician for four hours, Nangong Lingwei's poison had been cured. At the moment, she was lying on top of the phoenix collapse with her eyes closed, while the servants and servants of the Phoenix-Resting Palace were waiting on her side.

With a cold expression, Baili Yi Chen walked into Nangong Lingwei's hall and said to the servants, "The empress dowager wants a good rest, please withdraw for me."

All of the servants lowered their heads, and left Nangong Lingwei's chamber after bowing.

The people in the inner room had all left.

Baili Yi Chen looked at the weakened Nangong Lingwei on the bed. He was stunned for a long time before speaking, "Imperial Mother, was today's matter really done by Hong Zhong?" Although he had already ordered for Hong Zhong to be locked in the Sky Prison, he actually believed that Hong Zhong would do such a thing.

Nangong Lingwei was stunned for a moment. After that, sshe turned his head to look at Baili Yi Chen and said indifferently, "Wailing Home was poisoned by the Chestnut Soup she delivered. Who else could it be but her?" After speaking, he turned his head away and no longer looked at Baili Yi Chen.

Baili Yi Chen coldly said, "I don't believe it!"
