Chapter 221 - Di Xing discovers Hong Zhong's true identity
Seeing that, Hong Li glanced at Lv Luo, Chu Lingshan and the rest who were by his side, and they all consciously retreated, then Hong Li and Hong Zhong returned to the hut, seeing Hong Zhong's suspicious look, Hong Li sighed: "Zhong Er, I have already sent people to contact the genius doctor of the Divine Doctor Sect, what you want to do now is to return with me to the Jinzhou City, and wait for the genius doctor."
Seeing the seriousness on Hong Li's face, Hong Zhong expressed his confusion: "Big Brother, you didn't find the genius doctor for me because of my amnesia, right?"
"Yes." The matter of Hong Zhong's amnesia was indeed a headache.
If she was her normal self, then she would have lost her memories, as long as she could be happy, but … Zhong Er's identity...
Hong Zhong was silent for a moment.
Actually, she could feel that Hong Li seemed to be especially concerned about her amnesia. Maybe her previous memories were really important to Hong Zhong, and to Red House.
Thinking about it, Hong Zhong was also especially curious about her past memories, but: "Big Brother, there's only one Herba Brassicae blossoming every ten years, so I must definitely go to Zhonghe City. After I return from Zhonghe City, I will immediately return to Jinzhou City. It will only take a few days of time, and I don't need to waste any more of those days. "
Speaking of Herba Brassicae, Hong Li's face became even more serious: "Then do you know what Herba Brassicae are?"
Hong Zhong shook her head speechlessly. She knew that that thing was one of the antidotes used to treat Ten Thousand Gu Cold Poison and it was very important to Baili Mingyue, so she decided to ask for it.
Hong Li slowly spoke, "The Herba Brassicae is one of the four great ancient divine medicines, and it has always been under the protection of the middle canal's Mo family. It was said that the last time the Herba Brassicae blossomed, it was said that the Zhonghe City was massacred by a mysterious person, causing countless deaths and injuries. Even the City Lord's son and daughter were affected, and had no idea what was going on. Do you know how many people in the martial arts world are coveting that flower? They have calculated everything, and are only waiting for the flower to bloom once every ten years, it will be too dangerous for you to go to middle canal. "
After hearing Hong Li's words, Hua Yurong's face suddenly appeared in Hong Zhong's mind. These days, she always felt that there was something going on in Hua Yurong's heart. Could he be related to the Blood Wash Zhonghe City from ten years ago?
But at that time, he was only around ten years old, right?
He shook his head quickly and threw aside the strange idea that had suddenly occurred to him. "Big Brother, no matter what danger there is, I must go get the Herba Brassicae."
Seeing that, Hong Li frowned, he remained silent for a while, and finally, he said with a helpless tone: "Is it for Baili Mingyue?"
"Yes." Hong Zhong lowered her head in guilt and replied softly.
F * * k, the feeling of being scolded by a parent for being in love with someone in school, what kind of joke was that!?
A strange gloominess flashed across Hong Li's eyes. In the end, his face returned to his usual warm jade-like smile, and he closed the folding fan in his hand. "Forget it, if you want to go, then go."
Seeing that Hong Li had agreed to go by himself, Hong Zhong looked at him excitedly, nodding his head like a chick pecking rice, "Yes, yes."
Hong Li looked at Hong Zhong's expression, and a trace of a doting smile flashed past his eyes: "But, your identity as Hong Zhong, cannot be used again. Although the Nan Gong Yi party was eradicated, the remaining evil people are still around. It took us a lot of effort to get rid of our identity as the imperial concubine.
"Yes, yes." Regarding this, Hong Zhong also deeply agreed with that, so when they met that person, who might be from the same village, Hong Zhong did not use her name.
Saying this, a crafty look flashed across Hong Zhong's face: "I have also thought about it, I won't use Hong Zhong's name to go to the middle canal, I already sent a letter to the Shezhengwang's Palace, and asked them to help me forge a more powerful identity, and this time, I will go on behalf of the Prince Regent of South Qi's family. That Mo family from the Zhonghe City, will they at least give me some face?"
Hearing that, Hong Li chuckled, "With your identity as a Shezhengwang's Palace, it is true that the Mo family will give you some face, but there will also be many unforeseen troubles. And how do you know that with your identity, you will definitely be weaker than the Shezhengwang's Palace?
Hong Zhong was startled, what the hell was Worryfree Manor doing? What the hell was a Young Master Wuyou with such a stunning talent?
Seeing the obvious doubt in Hong Zhong's eyes, Hong Li spoke again: "The name Hong Zhong was chosen just to numb the Baili Royal Family, and your real name is Feng Wuyou. The Worryfree Manor is named after you. Now that you have gotten rid of the identity of imperial concubine Hong Zhong, you can naturally regain your original name. "
Hong Zhong thought about it and understood, "So... Big Brother, you mean to say that my original name was Feng Wuyou, not Hong Zhong, and that I was actually an overpowered person in the martial arts world, right? Then can I disguise myself as a woman and go to middle canal as the Young Master Wuyou? "
So what if she said so? In the red, I'm still a blank slate! What transcending female lead, how could she have such a rustic name!
So her name was Feng Wuyou!
Cough cough … Although it sounded like Mary Su did, at least it had a good meaning. Feng Wuyou was worry-free in this life!
Hong Li looked at Hong Zhong and nodded with a smile, "Mn."
"Then I have another question." Hong Zhong suddenly tilted his head and looked at Hong Li: "Why do you and second brother have the surname Hong and I the surname Feng?" A family of three, they actually had different surnames. Was she buying cabbage for them?
Hearing that, Hong Li was startled, then said with a slight smile: "Because your mother's surname is Feng, and you are surnamed Feng Wuyou because your mother's surname is Feng. This is all from the past, it's not strange that you don't remember. When you find the Godly Doctor, you'll be able to remember. But you don't have to worry, Worryfree Manor, regardless of whether you remember it or not, you have always known this master of yours. "
Hong Zhong's mind was completely muddled by Hong Li's words, to the point where she did not even notice the profound principles behind Hong Li's words. Thinking for a moment, she continued, "All these years, Worryfree Manor has always been big brother. You were the one who took care of it, right?
Hong Li smiled but did not say a word.
"Big Brother, you're so good!" Seeing Hong Li's expression, she knew he guessed right. He looked at him excitedly, and wished he could give him a bear hug. From today onwards, Hong Zhong is no longer a person to be found in this world.
"Hur hur." Hong Li lowered his head and looked at Hong Zhong, who was holding onto his arm in a spoiled manner. He raised his eyes to the empty space outside, yet he felt an indescribable pressure weighing down on his heart. Was he really okay?
Worryfree, Feng Wuyou, Worryfree for the rest of my life?
Forget it, regardless of whether it was Hong Li or Rong Yufeng, the reason for living, was to ensure that she would be free from worry for his entire life!
… ….
Palace of South Qi
By the time Xiao Shunzi returned from the imperial kitchen with supper, Baili Yi Chen was already no longer in the imperial study. When he heard Dongfang Mingzhu's screams, the situation had already reached an irreparable point.
With things having reached this point, Xiao Shunzi had no choice but to send people out to wait for the effects of the medicine in Baili Yi Chen's body to wear off.
It was only when the sky brightened that the medicinal properties of Baili Yi Chen's body gradually dissipated. At this moment, he was already close to exhaustion, directly collapsing beside the completely naked Dongfang Mingzhu.
Xiao Shunzi listened on from the outside but made no sound. Only then did he instruct the palace maids behind him to bring in some clean clothes to help him change.
Dongfang Mingzhu's clothes were messy as she laid on the ice-cold floor. The tears on her face had long ago dried due to the wind. She was dressed in the clothes sent in by the palace maids and was helped to sit up by them.
After being tossed around by his side, there was naturally some noise. Baili Yi Chen was naturally vigilant, and immediately woke up, turning his head to see that it was Xiao Shunzi. He then forced his exhausted body to sit up.
As he tilted his head to look at the expressionless and lifeless Dongfang Mingzhu, Baili Yi Chen felt suffocated for a moment.
After a moment of silence, the dark hoarse voice slowly spoke with a hint of weariness: "Xiao Shunzi, pass down the decree, Dongfang Mingzhu is conferred the title of first rank consort and is ranked fourth. The Empress, as the leader of the Middle Palace, is actually good at using bewitching medicine in the palace. Her crimes are punishable by death, and she has to be sent to the Cold Palace from today onwards.
Xiao Shunzi respectfully lowered his head: "Yes."
Although his expression was the same, he was actually very happy in his heart. Delighted that no matter what, the Emperor still favored his second wife and had hope for the Baili Royal Family's bloodline! Worry was, His Majesty Long Yan was furious. Although the Emperor hadn't abolished the title of Empress, the Imperial Palace wouldn't allow him to see her until he summoned her. He was afraid that she would die for the rest of her life.
In this way, the entire imperial court would probably be shaken again!
After Baili Yi Chen instructed Xiao Shunzi, he picked up a set of clothes from the tray on the side and draped them over his shoulders. Then, he headed towards his room.
… ….
Baili Yi Chen was soaking in the bath. He closed his eyes and his sword-like eyebrows were slightly raised. The room was filled with dense water vapor, causing Baili Yi Chen's handsome face to appear even more hazy. However, it was unable to conceal the pain in his heart.
He was not an irresponsible person. After remembering his mistakes clearly, no matter what, he could not forgive himself in his heart!
"Your Majesty, the Esteemed Empress Dowager is here." Outside the door, Xiao Shunzi interrupted Baili Yi Chen's train of thoughts.
The emperor was still bathing when the Empress Dowager hurriedly rushed over. It could be seen that she was truly anxious.
Baili Yi Chen slowly stood up, stood up from the bath, and put on Xiao Shunzi's clothes on the ground before saying, "Proclaim it!"
With the support of her personal mama, Nangong Lingwei staggered in. When she saw Baili Yi Chen, she immediately went up and spoke with a pained expression on her face, "Chen'er, Meng'er, she …"
"Imperial Mother, I am already the Emperor now. Imperial Mother, please don't call me by my maiden name anymore." Baili Yi Chen said in an indifferent manner. His tone was clearly distant. As he spoke, he spread his arms wide, allowing the eunuchs to dress him in a new dragon robe.
Nangong Lingwei's heart thumped, and a trace of pain flashed past her eyes. It seemed that ever since the last time she forced him to marry Nangong Yimeng as empress by using her life, Baili Yi Chen had never treated her so intimately again.
However, he had never been so estranged before. Thinking about it, he was truly angry!
He smiled bitterly and said, "Emperor, whatever you say is what it should be. However... In this matter of Meng'er, the Emperor, the Nangong family only has Meng'er and Shuang'er. If they were to annul her position as Empress …. The Nangong Family had really fallen!
Hearing this, a trace of unknowable pain flashed through Baili Yi Chen's eyes.
This was his mother?
For the honor of the Nangong Family, she was willing to risk her son's life to force his woman!
Baili Yi Chen's eyebrows jumped, and words that were overflowing with anger flowed out from between his teeth, "Imperial Mother, you have been in charge of the imperial harem for so many years, you should know that using bewitching medicine in the Palace of South Qi is a capital offense, right? If it were not for Mother's sake, based on what Nangong Yimeng had done, we would have tens of thousands of reasons to take her head off! "
Hearing that, Nangong Lingwei was speechless, she opened her mouth, and did not know what to say. After pausing for a while, she slowly spoke, "Emperor, Wailing Home knows that for you to marry Meng'er, it means that Wailing Home owes you a debt of guilt. However, all of this is the fault of Wailing Home, it has nothing to do with Meng'er.
Seeing her expression, Baili Yi Chen snorted coldly, "Imperial Mother, don't worry. Since I have already said that I would give face to Imperial Mother, I will absolutely not take her life. I have also promised Imperial Mother that I will let the Southern Qi Empress come out of the Nan Gong Family, so I will not cripple her. The Forbidden Cold Palace is already my greatest concession. Mother, there is no need for you to waste your efforts in trying to save her from the cold palace.
"Emperor!" Nangong Lingwei still wanted to say something, but she was abruptly interrupted by Baili Yi Chen. Her tired voice was filled with anger that couldn't be defied, "I've already made up my mind. Your Highness doesn't need to speak anymore.
Seeing that, Nangong Lingwei's elegant and noble face was filled with shock.
Gradually, a glimmer appeared in her eyes. It was all her fault, all of this was caused by her, but she did it all for the Southern Qi, for her own son, why didn't he understand!
The eunuch outside had already walked in. Nangong Lingwei saw Baili Yi Chen's attitude and knew that there was no longer any room for change in the situation. With the Nangong family in trouble and her own son's attitude, she was truly exhausted.
At that moment, a young eunuch ran in, his face filled with panic. As he ran, he cried, "Your majesty, something's wrong. The empress, she …"
