Chapter 201 - The Lord of Chaotic Moods

Although they thought like that in their hearts, none of them dared to say it out loud. They quickly retracted their peculiar gazes and lowered their heads to seriously check Baili Yi Chen's pulse.

Baili Mingyue, who was carrying Hong Zhong, looked at him coldly. He had also seen the abnormal expression in the imperial physician's eyes. Of course he knew what they were thinking, but he couldn't care less!

After seeing Hong Zhong disappear from his side with his own eyes, only then did he realize how terrifying that pain was! In this life, he absolutely could not experience it a second time!

With red eyes, he looked at the unconscious Baili Yi Chen on the bed. That noble and graceful face of his seemed to have aged a decade or so, and his voice was also filled with fatigue: "How can this be! How can this be! Who did this to the Emperor! "

She, Nangong Lingwei, the woman with the most respected status in the Southern Qi, had married the former emperor of the Southern Qi at the age of seventeen, giving birth to a son and a daughter. His son, Baili Yi Chen, was the only heir to the Southern Qi Royal Family, while her daughter was the honorable Grand Princess.

Right now, his son was still unconscious?

Who could tell her why!?

Nangong Lingwei's resentful and vicious gaze swept across everyone's face, and finally landed on Hong Zhong's face. Suddenly, she raised her arm, and pointed at Hong Zhong with her armoured finger, her tone filled with overflowing hatred. "It's you, isn't it! You caused the Emperor to be like this, didn't you! "

After being pointed at by Nangong Lingwei, Hong Zhong's expression changed. She leaned into Baili Mingyue's embrace, and her face faintly trembled.

Originally, in order to save her, Baili Yi Chen had turned into his current state. In her heart, she felt extremely guilty. Now that her mother had pointed at her nose and questioned her, she had no way to refute, because this was the truth!

Feeling Hong Zhong's guilt, Baili Mingyue hugged her and caressed her back, gently comforting her.

The more Nangong Lingwei spoke, the more agitated she became. Her originally elegant and noble face now looked exceptionally sinister, "Hong Zhong, you Bane of the Bane, you killed Wailing Home's daughter. Do you still want to kill Wailing Home's son?!" As she said that, she moved forward, wanting to pinch Hong Zhong's neck.

Hearing that, Baili Mingyue's gaze turned serious, Baili Ziyan, she …?

But seeing that her hand was already in front of Hong Zhong, she reached out and grabbed her, "Huang Sao, did you forget your promise with this duke?"

After hearing Baili Mingyue's words, Nangong Lingwei's mind recovered a little from being bewitched. He glared at Hong Zhong with resentment, then walked over to Baili Yi Chen's bedside and looked at him as tears uncontrollably fell from his eyes.

After the imperial physician had finished checking his pulse, he stood up and said, "Empress Dowager, Regent, the Emperor's injuries are mainly internal. He had already controlled himself. If he didn't have a fever tonight, there shouldn't be a big problem. However, if he had one tonight … This old official is also powerless. "

"Yes." Baili Mingyue nodded. She finally understood.

Just as he was speaking, the person on the bed coughed lightly, and then said in an intermittent manner: "Hong Zhong, we … I don't want it. What are you doing. "Yes."

Hearing that, Hong Zhong's eyes reddened again, and she turned her head to prevent herself from looking at him.

The imperial physician walked forward and established a vein for him again. Then, he touched Baili Yi Chen's forehead. However, this time, the imperial physician frowned and sighed. "Your majesty, there seems to be signs of a fever."

"AHH!" A trace of panic flashed across everyone's face.

Even the normally calm Baili Mingyue had a look of anxiety on her face.

"Someone, get some water." The imperial physician ordered coldly. Immediately, a servant went out to prepare some water.

"Hong Zhong, I won't let anything happen to you." Baili Yi Chen closed his eyes and muttered, "Can … With you. Dead, really. "Alright!"

Hong Zhong never thought that there would be a day she would see Baili Yi Chen like this.

As he was thinking, he sniffed and tried his best to hold back the tears in his eyes.

When Baili Mingyue, who was behind Hong Zhong, saw the expression on Hong Zhong's face, her eyes that were as beautiful as clear light flashed with a trace of gloominess. To him, Yi Chen was the responsibility bestowed to him by his royal brother, and Hong Zhong was his lifetime's love.

If he could, he didn't want any of them to get hurt.

Looking at Baili Yi Chen who was on the bed, Hong Zhong walked out from Baili Mingyue's embrace and sat on the side of his bed, looking at him with guilt.

Baili Yi Chen, I'm sorry.

I can't accept your kindness!

The servant quickly brought the water over. Seeing that, Hong Zhong personally went up and grabbed a towel to cover Baili Yi Chen's forehead to cool him down.

He only felt a cool sensation on his forehead and unconsciously raised his hand to grab at it. He immediately grabbed onto Hong Zhong's hand and tightly held onto it, not letting go, "Woman, I really like you. Don't leave me, okay?"

Hong Zhong was grabbed by Baili Yi Chen, and was stunned for a moment, then wanted to pull away from his hand. However, the more she tried to use her power, the harder he held on, and did not let go.

After tearing it a few times, he still could not pull it out. Instead, it caused Baili Yi Chen to cough a few times due to internal injuries. Hong Zhong raised her head and looked at Baili Mingyue.

Hong Zhong allowed Baili Yi Chen to hold onto her hand as he said in a gentle tone, "I won't leave, I won't leave. I won't go anywhere else. First, rest well, okay?" After he finished speaking, he sighed in his heart.

Hearing Hong Zhong's words, Baili Yi Chen seemed to be a lot more at ease. His slightly frowning brows gradually spread out, and then, more servants came over to exchange for the towel on Baili Yi Chen's forehead.

Although she knew that Hong Zhong said that to comfort Baili Yi Chen, seeing Hong Zhong coaxing him like that, a sour feeling surfaced in Baili Mingyue's heart.

As for Nangong Lingwei, when she saw Baili Yi Chen lying on the bed, the determination in his heart to get rid of Hong Zhong grew even stronger. If not for her agreement with Baili Mingyue, she would have killed Hong Zhong already.

Baili Mingyue swept a cold glance at Nangong Lingwei. He did not miss the killing intent in her eyes. Thinking about this, his heart became even more complicated.

… ….

The busy night finally passed.

Baili Yi Chen's fever also subsided after the latter half of the night. Then, he fell into a deep slumber. Nangong Lingwei had first lost his daughter, and now, Baili Yi Chen had made her completely exhausted. Thus, after Baili Yi Chen's fever subsided, he fainted and was sent back to the Phoenix-Resting Palace.

Hong Zhong carefully tucked Baili Yi Chen in, then turned his head to look at Baili Mingyue. He then got up and took the lead as he walked out of Baili Yi Chen's chamber.

Baili Mingyue also quickly followed him.

A full moon hung in the night sky, its bright moonlight pouring down and covering the entire quiet courtyard. Hong Zhong leaned on a pillar on the corridor, quietly looking at the moon, no one knew what she was thinking.

In the next second, he fell into a warm embrace. Baili Mingyue embraced her waist from behind, hugging her to her chest. Her gentle voice carried a hint of disappointment that even he did not notice: "Girl, are you touched?" Although her usual appearance was arrogant and domineering, causing trouble, he actually knew that she was very kind.

For her, it wasn't strange that Yi Chen would be moved to his current state.

However, if she was truly moved, what should he do?

Hong Zhong leaned her body against him, but her mood was extremely heavy. "If I say I'm not moved, that's a lie. Uncle, I feel that Baili Yi Chen is very pitiful. I don't want to hurt him, but … "I don't know how I feel right now either. In short, it's very complicated." As he spoke, he sighed again.

"I know." Baili Mingyue hugged her tightly, suppressing the trace of fear in his heart. He did his best to make himself look normal, "Girl, could it be that because you were moved by Yi Chen, you don't want me anymore?" If she cared so much about Yi Chen, wouldn't that change her choice?

When Hong Zhong heard him say that, she turned around and looked at him with puzzlement. When she saw the worry in his eyes, she lightly tugged at the corner of her mouth and softly said: "Buddha said, looking back five hundred times in my previous life in exchange for a single brush with this life. My acquaintance with uncle should have been exchanged for when I broke my neck in my previous life, right? Moreover, in my heart, I can clearly distinguish between being moved and liking. "

She was deeply moved by Baili Yi Chen's feelings for her.

However, that was not because she liked him. She would not deceive Baili Yi Chen just because she was moved by him, nor would she deceive herself. She could not give up on Baili Mingyue just for the sake of being moved.

After thinking for a moment, her tone was filled with guilt. "Actually, speaking of this, I was in the wrong. I was his imperial concubine, but I didn't love him at all. On the contrary …" He fell in love with his royal uncle.

"Little girl, if you don't leave me, I won't give up!" Hearing Hong Zhong's words, Baili Mingyue instantly felt her heart being filled. Looking at the self-blame on her face, she softly consoled: "Girl, don't be sad, this isn't your fault." In fact, he knew that Yi Chen didn't like Hong Zhong from the start, so he decided to fight for her and protect her.

It was just that he did not know what was going on.

During the process of interacting with Hong Zhong, Yi Chen didn't even know when he started to fall in love with Hong Zhong. It was only when he found out that he had truly lost Hong Zhong that he understood that he had long since been entrapped and was unable to extricate himself.

And he, wasn't he the same as well.

From dodging at the beginning to making up his mind in the end to now, he could not let go. Wasn't he the same as well? He had long been caught in it and was unable to extricate himself.

Fortunately, Hong Zhong's words had let his anxious heart drop to the ground. She hugged her tightly: "Little girl, do you hate me?" Yi Chen didn't hesitate to jump after her, but he didn't.

Hong Zhong tilted her head to look into his bright eyes, and when she saw the obvious self-blame in his eyes, she decisively shook her head and said in a serious tone, "I don't blame you. "If this situation happens again, I also hope that you won't be as impulsive as Baili Yi Chen. Even if I am gone, I still hope that you can continue living."

Baili Mingyue lowered her gaze, not saying a word. She only rubbed Hong Zhong into her embrace, but made a decision in her heart. Girl, if you really aren't here anymore, then I definitely won't live on by myself!

Hong Zhong did not know what Baili Mingyue was thinking about, but he was slightly exhausted, leaning on Baili Mingyue's arm, looking at the bright moon in the sky. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth: "Uncle, I want to leave Shengjing City."

She could not accept Baili Yi Chen's kindness.

If he continued to stay, it would only hurt him even more.

"Alright." Baili Mingyue replied in a low voice. For Yi Chen, the little girl leaving now was the best thing to do.

Hong Zhong nodded, and continued: "After I leave this time, I don't want to come back."

Sooner or later, he would have to leave. Rather than stalling for time and making Baili Yi Chen wake up and feel sad, it would be better to not see him.

Long arms wrapped around her waist, he placed his head on her shoulders and gently said: "Okay." However, Yi Chen is sick. Girl, I can't accompany you. " Baili Yi Chen was sick, and even Nangong Jue's remnants were not completely clear about it. Even though he wanted to leave with her, he knew that he couldn't leave the imperial court at this point of time.

With regards to the difficult situation Baili Mingyue was in, Hong Zhong also expressed her understanding. She patted his hands and comforted her: "I know, don't worry Uncle, I will pay attention to my safety, is Mo Chen leaving tomorrow? It just so happens that we can follow our plans and head to Dong Heng's direction to look for clues regarding the blood glass.

"Mo Chen will leave tomorrow, but lass, I hope that after you leave Shengjing City, you can return to Jinzhou City first. After I settle the matters in the imperial court, I can go look for you.

"Why?" The Jinzhou City was located in the west side of the Southern Qi and Dong Heng was located in the east side of the Southern Qi. Wasn't it better to find the medicine as soon as possible?

Baili Mingyue knew that if he had not explained it clearly, Hong Zhong would definitely not have listened to him, and said in a deep voice: "My cold poison has already been here for more than twenty years, so I don't mind waiting for a few more days. One month from now, when it's Yao Ji's big wedding, we can leave together with the escort party."

Actually, he did not tell Hong Zhong the real reason. It was because the infantry chart was stolen and it was difficult to guarantee that the information inside the infantry chart would not leak out.

And for the entire Southern Qi's army, the transfer of millions of troops was a rather huge undertaking. Fortunately, he had already thought of a way out when he had planned for the army to defend. Thus, the amount of time he had to adjust had decreased from half a year to less than a month.

In just a month's time, all the military fortifications in Southern Qi would be completed. At that time, Yi Chen's injuries would more or less be better. He could confidently pass over the authority in his hands to Yun Che, which would allow him to have time to accompany Hong Zhong to Dong Heng.

After all, Dong Heng's situation in the palace was not as simple as that of the Southern Qi.
