Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 49
Facing Baili Zonglu's furious look, Huo Mingzhu calmly raised her head and looked at him without changing her expression: "The daughter of the people doesn't understand what the prince means..."

"Pretend to be stupid?!" Baili Zonglu was probably hurt internally by her anger, so he almost didn't put his hands on her neck. He resisted not doing anything, and repeated, "Why is the jade pendant that this king gave you on someone else's body?" ? You have the guts to step on the king's will!"

"Oh, it turns out that what the prince said just now that he doesn't mind is a lie." Huo Mingzhu raised her eyebrows as if suddenly realizing it. Thinking of being so preoccupied, the left and right are only a piece of jade pendant, I just gave it to my sister, the prince is still reluctant? If not, why did you want to part with it in the first place?"

"Huo Mingzhu, have you eaten your ambition?!" Baili Zonglu yelled at her barrage of questions, so he refused to listen to her eloquent tongue. He said bitterly: "That jade pendant Do you think it is ordinary? The tribute from the Xiliang Kingdom in the early years was given by His Majesty, and it has healing effects on cold and cold constitutions. It may be the only one in the world! Do you think it was picked up by the roadside?"

I also know that the congratulatory gift from the majestic Ninth Prince must be precious, but it is Huo Mingzhu who refuses to take it, so he made up many reasons.

Seeing Baili Zonglu struggling to explain, Huo Mingzhu stopped talking as if she was wronged, her calm eyes slightly retracted, and her expression dimmed three points: "...the prince is so caring, Mingzhu can't bear it. My deceased biological mother named me Mingzhu, which means bright and rare treasure in the palm of my hand, and my younger sister Huaiyu is the favorite of the entire general's mansion. A piece of jade pendant was given on the list of Ji Ji's gift, Mingzhu really didn't understand what the prince meant. My sister liked the warm jade, and it coincided with her name, so I gave it to her, not wanting to anger the prince..."

Huo Mingzhu's tone remained calm, and she never looked at Baili Zonglu again.

But Baili Zonglu choked: "Because it's a jade pendant, did you give it to your sister?"

Huo Mingzhu didn't answer, but rubbed her arm.

Baili Zonglu still saw such a small movement, and he asked, "Did you hurt you just now?"

Although the words are concerned, the momentum is still high: "If you are obedient, explain earlier, how can this king treat you rudely? This king has always known that you are very stubborn, and you should suffer a little... Who told you that you are so angry that this king wants to Squeeze you to death?"

As he said, he instinctively held Huo Mingzhu's arm with his hand, wanting to rub it for her, but Huo Mingzhu dodged, Baili Zonglu approached, as if preparing to do something offensive.

"Uncle?"

Suddenly a sound came from the slanting stab, Baili Zonglu's big hand had grabbed Huo Mingzhu's arm, but he turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

"Jing Qi?" Baili Zonglu asked in surprise.

Huo Mingzhu was originally blocked by Baili Zonglu, the closer he approached, the more her vision was blocked, now Baili Zonglu straightened up, and Huo Mingzhu was able to see the purple brocade dress standing under the old pine tree.

Even if Huo Mingzhu didn't know anyone, just the clean and clear star eyes of that person were enough to make her never forget it.She couldn't break free from Baili Zonglu's grasp, she just stood there and bowed to the man: "Huo Mingzhu didn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince is here, please forgive me!"

Baili Jingqi looked at Huo Mingzhu's face, and his eyes fell on her arm held by Baili Zonglu, and asked calmly, "What are Uncle Huang and Miss Huo doing?"
