"So what?" Compared to losing her, carrying infamy was nothing!

Moreover, he had an agreement with Yi Chen. As long as the two of them competed fairly, if he won, Yi Chen would let go!

Nangong Lingwei laughed: "Then you still don't know, right? The name written on the emperor's imperial edict is Hong Zhong's name."

Nangong Lingwei's words caused Baili Mingyue to furrow her brows without batting an eyelid. A sense of displeasure suddenly arose in her heart.

"If the Wailing Home can make the Emperor give up on Hong Zhong, the Regent King, would you be willing to give up your position and power and stay away from the Southern Qi?" She had gone through countless hardships, and her goal was this!

Since Baili Mingyue still did not know that he and the Emperor had reached an agreement, it was the best opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity. She wanted to help Baili Yichen regain the power he held over Baili Mingyue.

Nangong Lingwei's conditions caused Baili Mingyue to be stunned. It was not that he was unwilling to give up the power in his hands, but rather, the power in the Southern Qi's imperial court.

Yi Chen's power could only maintain his balance with the other two sects and ensure the peaceful development of the Southern Qi. But if one looked at the entire Navy Tide Continent, the situation in which the Southern Qi was divided into three parts would definitely be at a disadvantage.

However, how could Nangong Lingwei, a woman, see through all of this?

After pondering for a long time, Baili Mingyue finally nodded in agreement, "I can promise you that." If not for the trust he held in his royal brother, he would have put down his courage long ago. He had been planning and planning for all these years for the Southern Qi, and was already tired of it!

There was nothing to worry about for a mere Regent position!

"Really?" Hearing that Baili Mingyue had agreed to give up the authority, Nangong Lingwei was overjoyed. Even if she achieved her goal, it wouldn't be in vain for her to include her own son in this scheme!

Baili Mingyue coldly swept a glance at her, and just as she was about to say something, she saw Baili Yi Chen's cold face as he quickly walked in. After seeing Baili Mingyue, he was stunned for a moment, before quickly turning his head to look at Nangong Lingwei, "Where's Hong Zhong?"

Hearing that, Baili Mingyue's brows twitched, as if she had noticed something strange. The coldness in her eyes grew even stronger as she looked at Nangong Lingwei.

Nangong Lingwei had achieved her goal, and was in a very good mood. She smiled lightly: "The Emperor is really strange, why did he look for Hong Zhong to find the Phoenix-Resting Palace? Hong Zhong is naturally in the Sky Prison. "

"You're lying!" Baili Yi Chen threw out a piece of paper with a slight fragrance.

Everyone immediately turned to look at the piece of paper, only to see a few flamboyant words written on it: Hong Zhong is at Phoenix-Resting Palace!

After looking at the piece of paper, Baili Mingyue looked hesitant, but as the faint fragrance from the paper assaulted his nostrils, Baili Mingyue's sword-like brows furrowed. He remembered that the fragrance on the paper was from Hua Yurong!

In other words, this piece of paper was tossed to Yi Chen by Hua Yurong.

It was very possible that Hong Zhong had come out of the Sky Prison to the Phoenix-Resting Palace. The moment Hong Zhong stayed in the Sky Prison, he sent Wu Shang to protect him. When Hong Zhong ran out of the Sky Prison, why didn't Wu Shang report to him?

Just as he was thinking, he saw Wu Shang flying quickly towards him from the window.

With this, Baili Mingyue was certain that Hong Zhong had really escaped from the Sky Prison! Tilting his head, he looked at Nangong Lingwei coldly. "What about her?"

"Wailing Home doesn't know …." "Yes." Before Nangong Lingwei even finished speaking, she felt a chill on his neck, immediately followed by the feeling of an ice-cold hand clutching at his neck, her breathing slowly becoming more and more difficult. Don't let This King say it a second time. "

An Xiaohai, who was at the side, also kneeled down with a thud. "Regent, that is the Esteemed Empress Dowager …"

Baili Mingyue's cold eyes swept across them, scaring An Xiaohai to the point that he wanted to plead for mercy. He didn't dare to speak anymore.

No one could bear the wrath of the Regent.

Baili Yi Chen's complexion also changed. Although he was inwardly angry at her, she was still his own mother after all. How could he watch her being pinched like this by Baili Mingyue? He took a step forward and said, "Uncle Wang, let go!"

Instead, he said in a calm voice, "If you strangle Wailing Home to death, then you will never be able to see Hong Zhong again in your entire life." She did not hesitate to drink poison and kill herself just for this moment.

With a wave of Baili Mingyue's sleeve, Nangong Lingwei was thrown out. She suddenly threw herself onto a nearby table, knocking aside the tea set on the table and causing it to fall onto the ground with a crashing sound, injuring her pure white arm.

Nangong Lingwei laid on the table, gasped for breath, then turned and looked at the two of them: "As long as the two of you keep your promise, Wailing Home can guarantee Hong Zhong's safety!"

"Where is she now? This King will bring her away!" These words weren't a discussion at all, but directly stated the truth of what he was about to do.

Nangong Lingwei lowered her head to think for a moment, before opening her mouth: "In the private room!"

At the very least, he would be able to let the Emperor quickly see through the facts and understand his own painstaking efforts.

Hearing that, Baili Mingyue turned and headed into the inner room, but just as she entered, she saw that Hong Zhong had fainted on the ground.

Her cold eyes swept across the several men present, and her entire body began to emit a frightening devil aura. Without any hesitation, a wave of light rushed towards them, knocking them to the ground and spitting out bright red blood from her mouth.

Baili Mingyue carefully carried Hong Zhong in his arms. After confirming that she was only unconscious after being knocked out, and that there were no major issues, he carried her out of the house.

When Baili Yi Chen saw Hong Zhong being carried out by Baili Mingyue, and how the hand under his sleeve was tightly clenched into a fist, a sharp pain flashed through his eyes.

Baili Mingyue glanced at the two of them, and carried the unconscious Hong Zhong away.

… ….

Baili Yi Chen's royal decree spread throughout the imperial court on the second day, causing a huge uproar.

Some people were overjoyed while some people were extremely worried.

They were even more surprised that the Emperor had managed to recruit so many beautiful women into his palace in one go, bestowing the title of Emperor. However, the previous Emperor had personally bestowed imperial concubine s with the title, but no news of them entering the palace had spread.

Among those who were worried was also the young general of the Imperial General's Estate, Red War.

After he entered the palace last night, he received a message from the Shezhengwang's Palace saying that Hong Zhong was safe and sound. However, he was the first to learn about Baili Yi Chen's imperial decree, so he was unable to be happy.

Sitting on the roof of the general's manor, there were several empty wine jars placed beside him. He drank the last of the wine in the jars and poured a few more times. Without a single drop of wine, he impatiently threw the jar out, then took a jar of wine from beside him and opened his mouth.

"Pah …" The wine jar fell to the ground under the eaves and shattered into pieces.

Hua Yurong looked at the shattered wine jar in front of her and was startled for a moment. Then, she walked out from the corridor, and with a glance, saw the slightly drunk red battle on the roof. Her beautiful face revealed a charming smile, and with a flash, she rushed forward and tore the wine jar in the hands of the drunk, "What happened to you? To be this drunk, is he still the young general who has shaken the entire Southern Qi? "

Red War Hous looked at Hua Yurong, and raised a self-deprecating bitter smile: "What's the use of shaking Southern Qi? you can't even get a woman you like. " As she spoke, she took another sip.

When Hua Yurong heard this, she already knew what Red War was drinking for. With a wave of her red shirt, she sat down right next to Red Battle, and with a bitter smile on Qingcheng's exceptional face, she said, "Alright, you are still the young general. For a woman to become like this for a woman, if word of this gets out, let your brothers under you know, what will they think of you?"

However, the heavens didn't do as she wished. After a few days, she would enter the palace and become a concubine! … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

Seeing Hong Zhan's dejected look, Hua Yurong slightly frowned. Don't you understand?

How could he not understand?

After he returned from the Zhonghe City, he heard that she had returned to the Shengjing City to fulfill her engagement with the Emperor. At that time, the pain in his heart hadn't been any better than the current Red War. However... Fortunately Xiao Zhonger would not marry the Emperor, so would he still have a chance?

He paused, and then spoke with a smile that was yet not a smile: "Alright, speaking of this, I also have a little sister, speaking of age, she is extremely compatible with you, and seeing that you are big brother Xiao Zhonger, I'll let you off."

In order to comfort this future second uncle of his, he had really put in a lot of effort and had even given up the little sister he cared about the most.

"Don't even mention that little sister of yours. You haven't been able to find her for more than ten years. Who knows when you'll find her!" "The drunk Hong Zhan waved at Hua Yurong. Hua Yurong, I know you want to hit on my sister, but I don't want your sister. "Burp …"

Hua Yurong had always been Hong Zhong's best friend. As Hong Zhong's brother, naturally, their relationship was also extremely good, and she also knew that Hua Yurong had been searching for her long-lost sister for all these years.

The moment Hong Zhan said those words, Hua Yurong was not angry, but a dark glint flashed past her charming eyes, and then she raised her hand, pouring the wine from the wine jar into her mouth, and the transparent liquid flowed down her exquisite chin and fair neck, all the way down, wetting the front of his clothes, revealing a captivating scene.

His little sister had always been the pain in his heart!

In this world, if there was anyone that was worthy for him to think about, other than Hong Zhong, his sister was the only one he still cared about.

Hong Zhan drank a mouthful of wine, his blurry eyes looked at Hua Yurong, and he suddenly remembered what he had said. It was as if he had stabbed Hua Yurong in pain, and so he reached out and patted Hua Yurong's shoulder: "Um, don't mind me, I didn't mean it that way."

Hua Yurong turned his head, and a bitter smile appeared on her face. She shook his head: "I'm fine. "Red War, speaking of it, neither of us can get the person we love. Come …" "Cheers!" "To all who fall in the same world, cheers!"

"F * ck!" Hong Zhan readily agreed as well.

Thus, the two miserable people who had fallen to the opposite side of the world continued to drink on the roof of the manor until it was late in the morning. When they had drunk all the wine on the roof, the two of them were completely drunk and they supported each other as they headed towards their rooms.

… ….

When Hong Zhong woke up, it was already the second day.

When he opened his hazy eyes, he discovered that he was lying inside the Shezhengwang's Palace. As Baili Mingyue had many national affairs to take care of, she was not in the Shezhengwang's Palace at the moment.

Thinking for a moment, he remembered what happened last night. According to his usual thinking, it should be Baili Mingyue rushing to the Phoenix-Resting Palace to save him, but... Her crime had not been cleared, so she should still be in the Sky Prison!

She quickly stood up. Although she was protected by Baili Mingyue, as long as the truth was not exposed, she would still bear the responsibility of poisoning the empress dowager. She stayed in Shezhengwang's Palace openly, afraid that Nangong Jue would not let her off so easily.

In order to not make things difficult for Baili Mingyue, she should immediately rush back to the Sky Prison.

Knowing that Hong Zhong was going back to the Heaven Prison, Wu Shang felt very touched in his heart. Speaking of which, Third Miss knew that her master was considering things, so she secretly followed her.

Just as they were walking on the main street, they heard some discussions. They said that their Southern Qi's Emperor and Queen would be married in two days, and in order to celebrate their Emperor's victory, the Ministry of Rites had issued an imperial decree, general amnesty for the world!

After Hong Zhong heard this news, she paused for a moment before turning around to ask Mo Xi: "Is Baili Yi Chen's wedding with Nangong Yimeng?"

"Yes!" Lv Luo replied from behind him.

Hong Zhong nodded. For the sake of the Nan Gong Family's honor, she would definitely support Nangong Yimeng to sit on the position of Empress. Therefore, after Nangong Yimeng was sealed, she was not surprised at all.

Mo Xi thought for a while: "Nangong Mo committed a crime of death, according to the law of the world, he should be able to avoid the crime of death, but with Nangong Jue's ability, he could secretly release him, and find a substitute to go to jail for him. That is simply an easy thing to do."

After Hong Zhong heard this, she also understood.

This should be the last move that Nangong Lingwei took to save the Nan Gong Family, right?

He wanted to use the Emperor's great marriage pardon the heavens and the earth to save Nangong Mo's life! Mo Xi, help me keep an eye on Nangong Mo these two days. If anything happens, you must inform me in time. "

Mo Xi nodded his head: "Alright, then I'll go watch them now." Mo Xi said, then turned and left.

After Mo Xi left, Hong Zhong turned around and walked in another direction: "Lv Luo, let's return to the General's Estate!"

Lv Luo looked at Hong Zhong who had temporarily changed her route and couldn't help but be curious. Wasn't she going back to the Sky Prison, why would she go back to the General's Estate?!
