Chapter 218 - Emperor Star's Current blood glass, let go of the long line to catch big fishes

Hong Zhong was not very familiar with the paths of this world, so she did not know if five days was enough for him to rush to Zhonghe City.

Hua Yurong paused, and did not speak.

Actually, I can rush to Zhonghe City within five days, and it just so happens that I can rush to Zhonghe City the day before the Herba Brassicae blossoms.

Perhaps, the person in the shadows had calculated the time and sent the news over.

Looking at Hua Yurong's expression, Hong Zhong knew the answer, so she made up her mind. "Since we can hurry, then we will set off early tomorrow and hurry to Zhonghe City."

"Xiao Zhonger, are you sure you want to go?" A hint of hesitation flashed across Hua Yurong's face, as though she wasn't willing to go, but when she let Hong Zhong go alone, he also didn't feel at ease: "That master of the Zhonghe City, is a weird-looking person who is hard to deal with. If you go, he wouldn't look too good, and there are many mechanisms around the Herba Brassicae.

"Little Flower, even if I have to throw my life away, I still want to give it a try." Hong Zhong persisted. A flower of the Herba Brassicae s for ten years, if she were to miss this opportunity, then Uncle will have to wait another ten years!

Hua Yurong paused: "What if it's a trap?"

Hong Zhong looked at Hua Yurong's serious eyes, and was stunned for a moment. Actually, she had also thought that this would be a trap, if she went, she did not know what kind of tricks would await her, but, she was not willing to take Baili Mingyue's body as a joke. Even if she knew it was a trap, she still wanted to try it out.

Seeing the insistence in Hong Zhong's eyes, in the end, Hua Yurong sighed lightly: "Forget it, if you want to go, then go. I will instruct Ling Yun to pack his luggage."

With that, Hua Yurong turned around gracefully with a helpless expression, leaving Hong Zhong with an extremely lonely looking back.

Hong Zhong looked at the figure of her back, a strange feeling rising in her heart as she shouted at Hua Yurong: "Little Flower!"

"Hmm?" Hua Yurong did not turn around, she only stopped and waited for Hong Zhong.

"If you don't want to go to the middle canal, then wait for us here with Ling Yun. I will bring Mo Xi and Wu Hen there." Actually, she could see that Hua Yurong seemed to have an inexplicable resistance towards the Zhonghe City.

Although she did not know the reason, but in Hong Zhong's heart, she treated Hua Yurong as a real friend. She did not want her decision to make things difficult for her friend.

After Hua Yurong heard this, a smile appeared on her face. "I'm fine. I won't be at ease even if you go alone. Besides, if I let you go alone, how would I know that you're not going to meet that adulterer called Wuqing? " With that, she left in big strides.

Maybe it was time to go back and take a look.

stared speechlessly at his back. Didn't they tell him before that the adulterer called Wuqing was completely mistaken? Why did he still mention it?

After Hua Yurong left, Hong Zhong was also just feeling speechless. No one noticed that a black figure had quickly flashed past the courtyard outside, and the message had quickly disappeared.

It was only when Hua Yurong had walked out of her field of vision that Hong Zhong turned her head to look at Wu Hen, "Wu Hen, did you hear the question that I explained clearly?"

Wu Hen expressionlessly shook his head. In his heart, he also expressed that regardless of whether or not he understood, he must pass this heartless situation to his master!

"..." The speechless Hong Zhong.

Looking at Wu Hen's expressionless face, Hong Zhong suddenly thought of an important matter, "Wu Hen, can you contact Uncle's person? "Then can you find someone to check the owner of the manor tonight?"

"You suspect him?" Wu Hen tilted his head and looked at Hong Zhong.

Hong Zhong nodded her head gravely, "In his room, I saw a screw that we need to build a railway. I remembered that when I was building the railway station, I told the Mu brothers Mu Han and Mu Yun that the item should be kept strictly confidential and that it should not be leaked out. But to think that he actually had it with him, it seems like something must have gone wrong with the Shengjing City's railway station."

Wu Hen pondered for a moment. "You mean, that person might be heading towards the railway?"

"I'm not sure he was headed for the railroad, but I'm sure it was no accident that the screw appeared in that man's room. So I want you to send someone to help me find out who that person is. If possible, you can tell this news to Uncle and let him take note of the situation in Shengjing City recently. " If he was just an ordinary merchant from the Southern Qi, there wouldn't be any problems.

After all, after the railway was fixed, the benefits would be felt by the entire population of Southern Qi.

However, if he was a spy or a secret guard from another country, then the matter of the railway might be discovered. She was not afraid of them learning it. After all, steam engines were something that could not be accomplished without professional skills.

Likely, if they were unable to obtain it, they would secretly destroy it.

At that time, whether it was for Baili Yi Chen or for Uncle, it would be a problem!

When Wu Hen heard this, he nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I will make the arrangements as soon as possible." After he finished speaking, he was surprised at Hong Zhong's thoughts as well.

It looks like the arrogant and despotic Red Third Miss was just a rumor. In reality, she should be someone who understood everything.

… ….

The moon was high in the sky.

Silence reigned in the courtyard.

"Master, just as you expected, this subordinate heard one of the women be called Xiao Zhonger. It can be seen that she was indeed imperial concubine's Life Destruction imperial concubine Hong Zhong, and this subordinate also heard that group of people were leaving for Zhonghe City to retrieve their Herba Brassicae. They will depart tomorrow morning." A black-clothed person was currently reporting to Murong Shaoxuan with a respectful face.

"Yes." Murong Shaoxuan, who was sitting at the top, was holding a white piece, staring at the chess board and thinking about how to play. After hearing the man in black's words, she did not even raise her head, obviously, the fact that Hong Zhong's identity was confirmed did not surprise him, so she steadily dropped a white piece before asking, "What else did they say?"

The black-clothed man continued to report: "This subordinate seems to have also heard that other than taking the Herba Brassicae, they also want to look for the blood glass."

When he said those words, Murong Shaoxuan was stunned, his straight and bright eyebrows also slightly knitted together. He looked up at the black-clothed man in disbelief: "blood glass? Are you sure you didn't mishear me? "

"Yes, your subordinate will not mishear you." Amongst the hidden guards of Dong Heng, this man in black had the best invisibility and hearing, so he had heard all of Hong Zhong and the others' conversation without missing a single word. He had also heard it clearly, so he would not be wrong. This subordinate also heard that they are still looking for snow lotus with seven colors and Deep Dark Orchid. "

When Murong Shaoxuan heard this, the expression in her eyes deepened even more. With doubt, it was obvious that she did not understand why they would do such a thing. After thinking for a moment, she instructed Mu Qi: "Mu Qi, we can depart and head to middle canal."

Herba Brassicae? He wanted it too!

Mu Qi was stunned for a moment, then asked with some doubt: "Master, we have already submitted a letter of credence to Baili Yi Chen, saying that we will arrive at the Southern Qi in seven days. If you head to the middle canal now, I'm afraid you won't make it in time."

"No problem." Murong Shaoxuan said, then slowly turned into a wheelchair and walked out: "Find a suitable person, wear this king's human skin mask, pretend to be me, bring the envoys and betrothal gifts, and continue walking towards the Shengjing City. This king will go with you to the middle canal alone, before this Baili Yi Chen receives the envoys, this king will definitely rush back!"

Murong Shaoxuan was actually Dong Heng's Seventh Prince. On this trip to the Southern Qi, he had come under the order of the Dong Heng Emperor to deliver the betrothal gift for Dong Heng to marry Princess Yao Ji.

Although Mu Qi had some suspicions in his heart, he could only lower his head and accept the order, "Yes!"

After saying that, he prepared to go out and instruct his subordinates, but just as he walked to the door, he heard Murong Shaoxuan's gentle voice once more, "Mu Qi, find an opportunity to spread the news. The blood glass had once been bestowed with the most beloved Imperial Consort Li by the Dong Heng Emperor twenty years ago. After Imperial Consort Li passed away, all the things left behind were taken by her son, Dong Heng. "

"Mistress?" Mu Qi's eyes carried an obvious doubt.

Dong Heng was his master, and Imperial Consort Li was his master's mother.

Master had rushed to the middle canal. If he wanted to compete with Hong Zhong for the Herba Brassicae, then what would he do by letting this news out?

Murong Shaoxuan smiled faintly, a calculating smile appearing on her face. With a slight curve of her lips, she slowly said a few words: "Let out a long line, to catch a big fish."

Mu Qi thought about it, he did not understand what his master was scheming, as his subordinates, as long as he did what he needed to do, he would quickly leave.

… ….

Three days later, Palace of South Qi.

Near-child time.

Baili Yi Chen was still reviewing the casekeeping's imperial reports. He didn't have the slightest intention of resting.

Xiao Shunzi watched from the side for a while, then couldn't help but step forward and remind his, "Your majesty, it's almost time for your son to die. You still have to take care of your dragon body, shouldn't you rest a little earlier?" These days, he had been paying attention to Baili Yi Chen's condition. Aside from dealing with government affairs every day until midnight, he would go to the Moon Flower Palace to take a seat.

Others might not know, but as Baili Yichen's personal eunuch, how could he not know whether or not Baili Yi Chen was resting in the Moon Flower Palace?

Baili Yi Chen raised his head and glanced at Xiao Shunzi. He naturally knew that Xiao Shunzi was doing this for his own good, but in these past few days, he realized that as long as he closed his eyes, all he could see were Hong Zhong's silhouettes.

Therefore, if he didn't want to sleep, he didn't dare to!

It was because he was afraid that once he closed his eyes, she would become his shadow!

He rubbed between his eyebrows to ease his fatigue. The originally clear voice carried a hint of tiredness as it said, "If you're tired, you can leave."

"This servant doesn't dare!" Xiao Shunzi's face changed. Although the emperor was kind and benevolent, how could there be an emperor who still hadn't slept? The eunuch ran to sleep instead. "Your majesty, then this servant will go to the imperial kitchens now and have them prepare some supper for Your Majesty?"

In these past few days, besides not having good sleep, the emperor also didn't eat well. It had only been a few days, and all these servants' hearts ached when they saw that they had lost a lot of weight already.

After Baili Yi Chen nodded his head, Xiao Shunzi went to the imperial kitchen to prepare for supper.

After Xiao Shunzi left, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the imperial study.

Just as the royal guard at the side was about to speak, Nangong Yimeng discovered that the person who had arrived was dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe. Just as he was about to bend down and bow, she coldly berated: "Shut up, all of you retreat for me.

"This …" The Royal Guard looked at each other with a face full of hesitation.

They knew that the Emperor and the Empress were at odds.

If they didn't leave now, it wasn't because they wanted to disobey the esteemed empress's orders, but because they left when they were on guard duty without permission.

None of them could afford this responsibility!

Although the Nan Gong Family had collapsed, but the Empress Dowager was still here. No matter how weak she was, he was still the Queen of Southern Qi, how could he dare to order these people to disobey? If it was any other day, she would punish these things that did not know what was good for them!

But today, she had an even more important matter to attend to. She could not afford to be careless. With a cold face, she said, "All of you scram for me. If anything happens, I will bear the responsibility!"

When the crowd saw that the empress was angry, they didn't dare provoke her anymore. After all, the Esteemed Empress Dowager was behind the Empress!

They could ignore the empress, but they could not ignore the Esteemed Empress Dowager! He became silent, lowered his head and quickly left.

After Nangong Yimeng saw that everyone had left, she walked into the imperial study and gently closed the door.

When he heard the door closing, he thought that Xiao Shunzi had returned. Without raising his head, he opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Shunzi, pour us a cup of tea to refresh our spirits." After giving out instructions, he continued to draw circles and forks on the imperial report.

After Nangong Yimeng heard this, she quietly walked to the side of the table and extended her armoured hand. She picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea.

The liquid that carried the aroma of tea gradually filled the cup.

Nangong Yimeng put down the teapot and took a deep breath to ease her nervousness. In the end, as if she had made up her mind, a small amount of powder that could not be seen was poured from the armor onto the teacup.

After that, Nangong Yimeng picked up the teacup, gently walked towards Baili Yi Chen, and placed the teacup on top of Baili Yi Chen's casekeeping.

When Baili Yi Chen heard the sound of the teacup being placed on the table, he didn't sense anything abnormal. He put down the writing brush, picked up the teacup and drank two sips, then put it down again. He looked at the imperial report and asked, "Xiao Shunzi, didn't you go to take the midnight snack? Why are you back so quickly? "

Nangong Yimeng saw that Baili Yi Chen had drank more than half of the tea in the cup before exhaling lightly, as if he was relieved. Looking at the man she had admired for over ten years, she smiled lightly and asked, "Your majesty, what do you want to use? Your consort will help your majesty prepare?"

Baili Yi Chen was stunned, then raised his head and looked coldly at Nangong Yimeng, and asked coldly, "Why have you come?"

Nangong Yimeng slightly smiled, "The emperor has worked hard to read the imperial reports, and this concubine has nothing better to do, so I came to take a look, to see if there's anything I can help the emperor with …"

"Nonsense!" Before Nangong Yimeng could finish her words, Baili Yi Chen interrupted her with a cold voice. He threw the imperial pen in his hand to the side, "Empress, don't you know that the Southern Qi's imperial harem cannot be run? This is the imperial study, without my permission, no one is allowed to barge in.

"Chenqie doesn't dare!" Baili Yi Chen's attitude made Nangong Yimeng's heart extremely sour. Lowering his head, he tried his best to hold back the tears that were about to flow out from his eyes.

When Baili Yi Chen saw Nangong Yimeng's expression, he couldn't help but feel a little upset. Calm face stood up and prepared to leave the royal study.

However, when he stood up, he realized that his mind had gone blank for a moment, and his consciousness had gone into a trance. But in just a moment, it returned to normal, leaving only a belly full of dry heat.

This feeling, it was exactly the same as the feeling he had in casting factory that day!

"Nangong Yimeng, you dare to drug us!" Baili Yi Chen gritted his teeth as he finished speaking. He took a deep breath, wanting to suppress the desire that ignited in his lower abdomen. He remembered that day, he had been delusional enough to use his inner strength to suppress that scorching heat, but to no avail!

When Nangong Yimeng saw that Baili Yi Chen's face had started to turn red, she knew that the medicine had begun to take effect.

That bottle of medicine was something that Feng Feili had given Baili Ziyan earlier.

The last time Baili Ziyan tried to frame Hong Zhong, she did not use all of them up. When she found out that something had happened to Baili Ziyan, she took the opportunity to go over and ask for this medicine while she was visiting her.

Just now, she had poured quite a lot of tea into the cup of tea for Baili Yi Chen.

She knew that Baili Yi Chen had always placed great importance on the welfare of the country and the people. Therefore, she did not expect him to put her in his heart completely, because she believed that if she, Nangong Yimeng, could not live in his heart, then there would not be a single woman in this world who could.

However, there was still an accident.

As long as she thought of Hong Zhong, that slut who had nothing better to do, being able to live in his heart, she was extremely unwilling!

She once thought that as long as Hong Zhong died, Baili Yi Chen would be able to see her. However, reality was just sarcastic. Baili Yi Chen found out that Hong Zhong had died, and was able to stay at Yue Hua Palace all night long. However, he didn't even bother to look at her.

Nangong Yimeng laughed bitterly. I had been in love for more than ten years, how could I want to use medicine to get you? [I have been living with you for dozens of years. If it wasn't because you didn't see me as you were, I wouldn't have bothered to use such despicable methods!]
