Chapter 196 - Unrestrained Monarch Heart, She will become Regent's consort in the future
After a long while, Baili Yi Chen recovered from his shock. Looking at the scenery around him as he walked further and further away, Baili Yi Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at Hong Zhong, who was in her embrace.
The summer's breeze fluttered, lifting up Hong Zhong's hair and clothes, forming a peerlessly beautiful scene.
As he looked at that scene, Baili Yi Chen's heart started to ache inexplicably. "Wuu, wuu, wuu, wuu, wuu, wuu, wuu, wuu, wuu, wuu, wuu, wuu, wuu, wuu, wuu, wuu, wuu, wuu, wuu …."
He kept questioning himself in his heart, why did he keep pushing her further and further away from him?
Hong Zhong quickly recovered from her joy and turned her head to look at the beautiful face of Baili Yi Chen. Only then did she realize the situation between the two of them, was it too dubious? She coughed lightly to cover her embarrassment and then stepped back, putting some distance between him and Baili Yi Chen, "Your majesty, what do you think about this train of mine?"
Baili Yi Chen looked coldly at Hong Zhong, who was pulling away from him, and laughed bitterly in her heart. He had finally missed the opportunity to talk to her, and quickly covered up her thoughts.
Yes, it was indeed a miracle.
If there really was such a railway that ran through the entire Southern Qi, then the army's supply and dispatch would be even faster. This would be an extremely good aid to the Southern Qi's fighting strength.
On the other hand, it was also a leaps breakthrough for the Southern Qi's economic development.
"En hmph, of course, Hong Zhong's products are definitely the best!" Hong Zhong laughed complacently, and then, together with Baili Yi Chen, they looked towards the front. Southern Qi's flight, was just around the corner!
This way, the uncle can also lighten the burden and let it go earlier.
Even though it was a few dozen kilometers away, it only took a short fifteen minutes to get there. In order to experience the difference between a train and a horse, they decided to ride it back for more than two hours!
Such a difference might have made them very tired, but they were still very happy in their hearts.
When Hong Zhong and Baili Yi Chen arrived at the First Ring Road of the Shengjing City, it was already close to night.
When the lanterns were lit, Hong Zhong was riding on her horse as she looked at Baili Yi Chen, "We have finally completed today's test. Your majesty must remember to treat me to a meal some other day, you can't be stingy!"
"Of course." Baili Yi Chen said with a smile.
Hong Zhong nodded, and just as sshe was about to turn around and return to the house to eat, he saw a servant holding a handful of fiery-red roses and running towards her direction.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at that person together with Baili Yi Chen.
The person held onto a handful of roses and bowed towards Hong Zhong: "Greetings, Your Majesty, greetings Third Miss. Subordinate has received the order of the Regent, to wait here for young miss for a long time. The Regent told his subordinate to give these flowers to the Lady after seeing her. " As he spoke, he raised the large bouquet of roses above his head.
Hong Zhong's eyes were red like fire as she looked at the rose in his hand.
He couldn't help but think that the man would find her the roses in this world and let her pick them.
As he thought about this, his face couldn't help but turn slightly red. He took the rose from the man and put it to his nose to smell it. The fragrance of the flowers assaulted his nostrils.
Although she pretended to be extremely calm, she was actually very happy in her heart, like a wild horse that had escaped its reins. She really wanted to jump around happily on the prairie.
He was so happy!
Baili Yi Chen's clear eyes landed on the rose in Hong Zhong's hand. Seeing the happiness on her face, he silently remembered in his heart that the flower she liked was a rose!
Hearing that, the man left and replied, "Miss, the Regent has invited you to his mansion for dinner."
"Oh, I won't go today. Go back and tell him that I believe him." Only now did Hong Zhong remember that he had said earlier in the day that he would explain the complicated relationship he had with Lian Xing. Actually, seeing him being so frank, she did not want to know anymore.
The servant became anxious when he heard it, "Miss, Master Mo Chen specifically asked me to bring you to Shezhengwang's Palace."
Mo Chen?
Hong Zhong was startled for a moment, then suddenly remembered the prescription in the box!
… ….
Shezhengwang's Palace
On the table, there were ten types of delicacies, the Regent was seated at the table, reading a book, while Lian Xing was seated beside him. From the looks of it, the two were waiting for someone.
Lian Xing looked at Baili Mingyue with a bitter face: "Big Brother Mingyue, are you not hungry yet? Can we eat first?" Speaking of which, she was really miserable. Despite being starving to death, she couldn't move as she looked at the table full of dishes!
"If you are hungry, you don't have to wait." Baili Mingyue looked at the book in her hands, and spoke without lifting her head: "Wuhen, tell the kitchen to take Miss Lian Xing's dishes back to Lian Xing Garden."
"..." She wasn't thinking of returning to her room to eat, was she? Seeing the servant coming over, Lian Xing acted like a deflated ball: "Forget it, forget it, I'm not going back to eat. Let's just wait a bit, Big Brother Mingyue, who are we waiting for?"
"Waiting for your sister-in-law." Baili Mingyue ignored everyone present, as if it was the natural thing to do.
The corner of Lian Xing's mouth twitched.
She had lived in the Shezhengwang's Palace for more than ten years, and when she had dinner with Baili Mingyue, she was few and far between. She had really never seen Baili Mingyue wait for someone to have a meal.
She had long heard of the relationship between Hong Zhong and Baili Mingyue.
In her heart, she was extremely disdainful towards a woman like Hong Zhong.
What the hell was sister-in-law? Was she even fit to do that?
Thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Big Brother Mingyue, is the Hong Zhong that the servants are talking about the imperial concubine that the previous emperor sealed personally?" 's identity was personally sealed by the late emperor, so could it be that you're really willing to steal the reputation of your nephew's woman, or even of your nephew, for her?
Hearing that, Baili Mingyue's gaze quietly swept across her, and said slowly: "She will be the Regent's consort in the future, not the imperial concubine."
"..." Being stared at by Baili Mingyue, Lian Xing's heart skipped a beat. She then turned her head to the side: "Speaking of which, Xing'er is really curious, I wonder how beautiful Big Sister Hong Zhong is, to be able to make Big Brother Mingyue fall for you, Big Brother Mingyue, tell me about it."
Hearing this, Baili Mingyue smiled indifferently, "If you want to stay here and eat, then just wait. Your sister-in-law doesn't like people who talk too much." After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to read the book in his hands.
Lian Xing's face stiffened: "..." Did it have to be like this, she couldn't even speak?
But after entering the dining hall, with a glance, he saw Lian Xing who was seated next to Baili Mingyue.
It had to be said that this Lian Xing was indeed a beauty.
On this point, that day at the Lovesick Restaurant, Hong Zhong discovered that she had delicate and pretty features, her skin as smooth as congealed cream.
Today, he was wearing a woman's outfit, adding to the bashfulness of his daughter's home.
Hong Zhong paused for a moment, then nodded her head towards Lian Xing, treating her as though she was greeting her. And then, he looked at Baili Mingyue, clearly in quite a good mood.
Baili Mingyue raised her gaze, her beautiful eyes that were like moonlight swept across Hong Zhong, looking at the rose in her hands. She asked with a smile: "Do you like it?"
"Yes." Hong Zhong nodded.
Baili Mingyue smiled, "It's good that you like it. Quickly wash your hands and eat."
"Sure." Hong Zhong laughed as she replied, and then turned her head and smiled at Lian Xing.
As for Lian Xing, who was looking at the two of them as if they were without other people, her face was a little ugly, but when she saw Hong Zhong turning to look at him, she forced out a smile, stood up and bowed to Hong Zhong: "Xing'er greets elder sister."
"Miss Lian Xing is too polite." Hong Zhong nodded, while talking, very quickly a servant came over with water and took the rose from Hong Zhong's hand, treating her to food.
After Hong Zhong finished washing her hands, she sat on the other side of Baili Mingyue.
Thus, in the dining hall, a situation like this had occurred.
Those who were as beautiful as fairies sat in the middle, and beside each of them was an outstanding woman. It was really pleasing to the eyes.
But only Hong Zhong and Lian Xing could feel the atmosphere on the table, it was not as harmonious as it seemed. Hong Zhong laughed, as though she had accidentally opened her mouth: "Miss Lian Xing, are you the one who returned to Shengjing City today?"
Lian Xing smiled generously and replied in a gentle voice, "That's right. I just returned to Shengjing City today, and I even met a group of robbers in the outskirts. It was fortunate that Big Brother Mingyue was here that I was able to return safely."
After Hong Zhong heard this, the corner of her mouth lifted into a profound smile.
She was certain that the woman who she met at the Lovesick Tower a few days ago and gave her a fierce glare was none other than Lian Xing!
She had clearly already returned to the Shengjing City a few days ago, so why would she lie?!
While speaking, Baili Mingyue picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of dish, preparing to put it into Hong Zhong's bowl. But unexpectedly, when Hong Zhong's bowl was still one centimeter away from the chopsticks, Lian Xing spoke up gently: "Big Brother Mingyue, Xing'er wants to eat that dish too."
Baili Mingyue furrowed his brows and stopped, turning to look at Lian Xing together with Hong Zhong. The expression in his eyes was obviously not one bit different.
Hong Zhong was also frowning, but she suppressed the words in her throat, "Do you not have long hands or what?
He blinked his eyes and looked at Baili Mingyue with an innocent expression, "Speaking of which, Xing'er has been living in Qilin Province for almost a year and has even missed Shezhengwang's Palace's food, especially this piece of emerald green bamboo, it's been put off too far. Big Brother Mingyue, please help me pinch it."
Hong Zhong frowned, looked at Bai Lianhua in front of him, and sighed lightly. She extended her hand and picked up the jade green bamboo, and moved it in front of Lian Xing: "Since Miss Lian Xing even misses this dish, then I'll give it to you."
Lian Xing was startled for a moment, then awkwardly smiled at Hong Zhong, after that, she picked up the chopsticks, and unwillingly picked up a plate of food.
Lian Xing would eat this for a while and that for a while, it was very tormenting for him.
And through this meal, Hong Zhong had also successfully targeted Lian Xing. Even though she felt that this meal was the most unpleasant meal she'd had since she'd transmigrated. However, in order to protect Baili Mingyue's face, she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and did not reveal it.
After eating dinner, Hong Zhong walked into the courtyard, looking at the empty space while thinking about her own matters.
Not long later, Baili Mingyue brought Mo Chen over.
Hong Zhong nodded at Mo Chen: "Uncle said that you have something to talk to me about?"
After Mo Chen saw Hong Zhong, he excitedly walked forward and presented the box in his hand to Hong Zhong. He then asked: "Third Miss, this subordinate would like to ask, where did you get this thing from?"
Hong Zhong looked at the box, which was given to him by the fortune-teller in the afternoon. Hence, she told Baili Mingyue about what had happened in the afternoon.
After Baili Mingyue heard this, while she was shocked, she focused on the poem the Master of Pure Wisdom had brought to Hong Zhong: "Ying Yuan and Viper Star, the beautiful flower emperor. The Tiansha Lone Turtle is a distant relative, and was destined not to be a broken army. "
Ying Yuanzhong was the Great Emperor of Zi Wei of the Arctic, and the meaning of this poem was simply: When the Emperor of Zi Wei descends into the golden age, he will cause trouble for his family and friends. If he wants to break out of this predicament, he will have to destroy the military star.
But, what was the relationship between the Violet Myrtle Emperor and this little girl?
Seeing that they were also confused, Hong Zhong decided to stop thinking about it. She just wanted to confirm on one thing: "Mo Chen, the reason why I brought this over is so you can see if the prescription in here has anything to do with your uncle's illness."
Mo Chen nodded, "It does! The cold poison in Master's body was a Ten Thousand Gu Cold Poison. But, Ten Thousand Gu Cold Poison is not an ordinary cold poison, so this subordinate is also not able to confirm whether the medicinal formula is really useful or not. "
Hearing this news, Baili Mingyue and Hong Zhong were stunned. One had to know that the entire Southern Qi had spent more than twenty years searching for this medicinal formula, but they had not been able to obtain any results.
However, it was taken out by a mysterious person!
If he really believed it so easily, then what if it was an enemy trick, then the consequences would be unimaginable.
Hong Zhong nodded her head, "I think we can make a trip to the Gate of Heavenly Secrets. On the day of the Master of Pure Wisdom's death, she told me that if I were to have any difficulties in the future, I can go there. It can be seen from this that the Master of Pure Wisdom was originally someone from the Gate of Heavenly Secrets, and the person today knows about the things that the Master of Pure Wisdom has brought me, it can be seen that he is definitely related to the Gate of Heavenly Secrets as well. "
When Mo Chen heard it, his expression became somewhat troubled. A few hundred years ago, it was rather glorious. However, in the past few decades, there had only been a legend of it in the martial arts world. No one had personally visited that place. Therefore, even our subordinate intelligence organizations were unable to find the location of the Gate of Heavenly Secrets. "
