C198

Thinking up to here, the pain he felt towards Baili Mingyue made him unable to breathe. Hong Zhong was pressured to the point that he was unable to breathe.

Reaching out to hug his waist, he silently consoled him. After ten years of running to Rose Pavilion to witness the thoughts of others, he probably felt even more heartache than he did just from thinking about them.

"You must be curious as to why my matriarch would do this to me, right? Actually, my matriarch is a thirty year old Xi Lingchanggongzhu. It was royal father who snatched her away to be his concubine and there's not a single moment where she doesn't hate royal father for separating her from her beloved person. Ever since she became pregnant with me and her royal brother, she has been secretly taking poison, and wants to take revenge on my royal father. "

"In reality, she has succeeded. My royal brother and I were born with cold poison, and every full moon night, it would erupt."

As a woman, Hong Zhong could understand the hatred Huyan Qiangwei had towards the Southern Qi. However, as a mother, she did not even let her son go for revenge.

Compared to Baili Mingyue's painful past, Hong Zhong felt that her childhood truly was too blissful. Looking at Baili Mingyue, she felt especially pained: "Uncle …"

"Hmm …" Baili Mingyue let out a small sigh, then said with a smile: "Perhaps the Heavens also felt pity for us, at the birthday banquet when I was one year old with Brother Wang, after the fire in Rose Pavilion, I was the only one left. I lived alone in Palace of South Qi."

Hong Zhong hugged him tightly, silently transmitting her warmth, yet she did not miss the profound mystery behind his words. She raised her head and looked at him with heartache: "Uncle, what do you mean …" So strange?

"Everyone thought that matriarch and Brother Wang had both perished in that great fire. However, it was only twelve years ago that I found out that my matriarch did not actually die!"

"What!" Hong Zhong looked up in disbelief.

"Not only did my matriarch not die, he even brought my royal brother back to Xi Ling, and married the one whom he wished for. They even gave birth to a daughter!" Baili Mingyue spoke indifferently. Her beautiful eyes that were like moonlight, contained emotions that even Hong Zhong could not understand.

"Uncle, are you sad?" Hong Zhong slowly said.

She did not know how Xi Lingchanggongzhu managed to create a fire and escape Southern Qi on the day of his son's birthday. But as a mother, she was actually able to poison her own son with such a vicious Gu poison, causing him to live a life of torture. She even abandoned him and had a daughter with another man.

To a son, this sort of pain was bone-piercing.

"Sad?" Baili Mingyue shook her head and chuckled, "Why should I be sad? I am not sad at all! "

Twelve years ago, after he had found out the truth, he was indeed sad, but as time went by, he had already figured out that sadness was the most useless emotion in this world. He would never be sad!

"Uncle, don't be like this." He clearly knew that his heart was in pain, yet he still forced himself to smile. Hong Zhong's heart, felt as if it had been wrenched awake.

"Silly girl, do you feel any heartache?" "I'm telling you all these, not to make you feel any heartache, I just want to make you feel more at ease. Because to me, you are the most special existence, the only existence in this world. Other than you, there is no one else in this world who can affect my emotions."

"Yes." It turned out that he had cut open his own wound to reassure her and prevent her from thinking too much. He sniffed with his nose and then wrapped his arm around Ye Mo's waist, "Uncle, it's okay, everything you said is in the past. I'll help you when you have me in the future, when I'm done with what I'm doing, I'll go out and find some medicine to cure you."

"Yes." In fact, he had long since gotten used to it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the Rose Pavilion every day to think about the woman who had abandoned him for so many years.

"Uncle, I will no longer doubt you. I will no longer be angry at you for no reason or reason." For him to be able to bring up this matter to her, it could be seen that he truly cared about her from the bottom of his heart.

When two people were together, trust was the least form of respect. Since they had chosen him, they naturally had to place a hundred percent trust in him.

"Silly girl." Baili Mingyue smiled lovingly, extended her hand to hold Hong Zhong's hand and quietly looked into his eyes: "Lian Xing, you came to Shezhengwang's Palace ten years ago. Lian Xing's father was once a county magistrate in Lin Province. On a trip west from the previous emperor, I was ordered to accompany him, but unexpectedly, a wave of robbers appeared on the way. In order to save her father, Lian Xing's father was unlucky enough to die. "

"The late emperor took into consideration the merits of his rescue and brought his orphan back to the Shengjing City. Lian Xing was only six years old then, but she had personally seen her father lying in a pool of blood and was completely terrified. When she sees someone, she will lose control of herself, but it's only when she's facing me that she can calm down. Thus, the late emperor decreed that I take care of her, and on account of her pity, I bought the courtyard next to the Shezhengwang's Palace and let her live in it. "

After Baili Mingyue finished speaking, her beautiful eyes that were like the moonlight locked onto Hong Zhong, "She is just a little sister to you, and you are the lover!"

Hong Zhong was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. Then, with her head leaning on his chest, she quietly listened to his steady heartbeat. She felt a burst of emotions in her heart.

He said, She's a lover!

At this moment, Wu Shang walked over quickly with a face full of anxiety. When he saw Baili Mingyue, he even forgot to greet him.

The intimate scene of love between the two of them was forcibly destroyed. Baili Mingyue slightly furrowed her brows, and coldly asked: "What's the matter?"

Wu Shang lowered his head, not daring to look at his master's unsightly expression. "Master, the infantry chart was stolen.

Hearing this, Baili Mingyue's jade-like face stiffened slightly. It was also the first time that Hong Zhong had seen such a panicked expression on his face. "What exactly happened?"

Weapons drawn on a map were nothing compared to the other items on the map. There were detailed data on a country's military strength distribution, as well as on important defensive fortifications, etc.

If this thing were to fall into the hands of another nation, it would undoubtedly expose the entire distribution of the Southern Qi's forces to the enemy, and the consequences would be unimaginable!

Weren't these things kept by Yi Chen all along? How could they have been stolen?

"It's the Grand Princess!" Wu Shang lowered his head and quickly replied, "Grand Princess didn't want to be imprisoned in the Cold Moon Palace. When the Emperor left the palace and no one dared to stop her, she went into the imperial study and stole the infantry chart, then threatened the Emperor to force her out of the cold palace. Right now, she is confronting the Emperor, saying that the Emperor won't let her leave the cold palace, so she won't hand over the cloth map."

After Wu Shang finished speaking, cold sweat also fell from his forehead. This Grand Princess truly didn't know what was important, to actually use infantry chart as a joke.

"This idiot!" Hearing that, Baili Mingyue could not care about Hong Zhong, who was standing beside her, as he turned to enter the palace with a pale face, but his entire body was emitting a terrifying chill, causing the people around him to tremble in fear.

It was obvious that he was extremely enraged.

Although Hong Zhong did not know what a infantry chart was, she had never seen such a terrifying Baili Mingyue before. Thus, Hong Zhong could feel that the seriousness of this matter was far more severe than it was before. She quickly followed Baili Mingyue's footsteps, "Uncle, I will accompany you."

Baili Mingyue looked at Hong Zhong, and did not have time to think about anything else, as he nodded, and quickly brought Hong Zhong into the palace.

… ….

Nebula Pavilion

Nebula Pavilion was the tallest building in the entire Palace of South Qi. There were a total of five floors and a dozen meters tall. It was shaped like a tower, and the higher it went, the less room it would have to move.

Baili Ziyan was currently on the second floor by the side of the pavilion, and looking at the people below, she couldn't help but shiver. Her royal brother's gaze was truly too terrifying, to the point that she couldn't help but want to take out the hidden soldiers and give them to him.

However, the person who gave her the advice also said, no matter what, she definitely could not give in if her goal was not achieved. Otherwise, all her efforts would be in vain.

As a result, despite the empress dowager and empress urging her to quickly hand over the items so as to not make the emperor angry, she still insisted on standing at the edge of the balcony, unwilling to compromise.

Hong Zhong followed Baili Mingyue along the palace path, and quickly headed towards Nebula Pavilion.

When he was less than a hundred meters away from Nebula Pavilion, Hong Zhong keenly noticed that a black figure had flashed through the trees. Hong Zhong was stunned for a moment, and looked at the nervous Baili Mingyue in front of him, knowing that he had also discovered the existence of that black figure. "Uncle, you go to Nebula Pavilion first, I'll take Wu Shang to have a look."

After Hong Zhong finished speaking, Baili Mingyue nodded her head. Although Hong Zhong's current martial arts could not be considered powerful, it was not something that could hurt an ordinary person, so there was no problem if she went to take a look. Baili Mingyue nodded, and gave Wu Shang a look so that he could protect Hong Zhong's safety.

After that, he quickly went to Nebula Pavilion to find the Baili Yi Chen siblings, while Hong Zhong chased after the black-clothed man with Wu Shang.

"Yan'er, don't do anything foolish. Quickly hand the item over to your royal brother." Nangong Lingwei frowned and continued to advise her.

Baili Ziyan shook her head, "Muhou, Yan'er should not be at Cold Moon Palace. If Yan'er wants to go out, even if the emperor forbids her from leaving, Yan'er would not hand her the item over no matter what."

"If that's the case, then die." Baili Mingyue's voice was extremely cold.

Hearing that, Baili Ziyan trembled in fear. She had always been afraid of Baili Yi Chen. Now that Baili Mingyue had come, she was even more afraid. Yan'er is a Grand Princess, but she just wants to leave the cold palace. "

"Southern Qi?" Hearing that, Baili Mingyue's eyes turned cold, and her tone became ice-cold: "You still have the nerve to say that you're a Grand Princess, and actually threatened the emperor to release you using a nation's infantry chart? Is this what you should do as a Southern Qi? This king originally thought that you would have to learn the rules of being a princess of the imperial family while you were still alive in Cold Moon Palace, but you are actually so stubborn. Since you want to die, then this king will grant you your wish! "

With that, a strong gust of wind blew past, causing everyone present to feel pain on their faces. They couldn't help but want to retreat.

As for Baili Ziyan, she was also shocked by Baili Mingyue's terrifying aura, she tightly held onto the stone platform by the side of the pavilion, holding on to it while covering her eyes. But not long later, Baili Ziyan seemed to be on the verge of collapsing, being blown to the side of the pavilion, as if he would fall if he was careless.

Seeing that, Nangong Lingwei knew that Baili Mingyue was also angry, but Baili Ziyan was her daughter, and she could not watch her die. She quickly turned and looked at Baili Mingyue: "Regent, Yan Er is Grand Princess, and is one of the few bloodlines of the late emperor.

Baili Mingyue swept her cold gaze across: "Then Huang Sao might as well ask that, your precious daughter stole the infantry chart without permission, whether it's alright for her to be the late emperor!" Since the founding of the ancient Southern Qi, stealing a infantry chart had been the crime of exterminating nine clans. Baili Ziyan actually ignored the safety of the Southern Qi for his own self-interest.

After being questioned by Baili Mingyue until he was rendered speechless, it was also at this time that Baili Ziyan cried out in shock, fell from the roof and landed heavily on the ground, in an extremely sorry state.

However, she had only landed on the ground for a short period of time. It was evident that Baili Mingyue had not killed her. Otherwise, if she had fallen from such a high height, she would have broken her bones even if she didn't die.

Baili Ziyan crawled up from the ground in a sorry state. When she raised her head, she saw Baili Yi Chen's enraged face, and slapped him heavily across the face. The side of his face quickly became swollen, and some blood leaked out from the corner of her mouth.

Baili Ziyan touched her own face and looked at Baili Yi Chen in fear, "Royal brother, I …"

"Why aren't you telling me where the infantry chart was placed?" As Baili Yi Chen spoke, he gave Baili Ziyan another heavy slap, causing golden stars to appear before his eyes.

Nangong Lingwei also stepped forward, and spoke in a resentful manner: "Yan'er, where did you put the infantry chart, quickly tell me!"

Baili Mingyue stared coldly at this scene. How could her royal brother give birth to such a foolish daughter? He truly wanted to kill her right now.

"Still not saying?" Seeing that Baili Ziyan was still hesitating, Baili Yi Chen lost his patience, "Men, drag Baili Ziyan down for us and throw him into the Sky Prison!" If she was sentenced to prison, he would be sentenced!

"No!"

and Nangong Yimeng had opened her mouth at the same time, and Baili Ziyan also looked at Baili Yi Chen with an expression of disbelief, roaring crazily, "Royal brother, you want to punish me, but don't you want the infantry chart anymore? You better think carefully, if you punish me, you won't be able to find any infantry chart! "
