Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 56
Ever since Huo Mingzhu "admitted" that he was interested in Baili Zonglu, on the way to Medicine Master's Pagoda, Crown Prince Baili Jingqi had been silent a lot.Huo Mingzhu has always looked down on the silly prince, and she doesn't care about the reason for his silence at all, so she never noticed his abnormality, but she has her own little Jiujiu in her heart——

Baili Zonglu held a high position in the court, and in the next three years, he would spare no effort to expand his influence, with the ultimate goal of ascending to the ninth five position.With her current ability, Huo Mingzhu was only praised for her beauty for a while, how could she destroy Baili Zonglu and save the Pingyanghou Mansion from annihilation?
Thinking about it, Huo Mingzhu couldn't help turning his eyes to the silly prince beside him.The silly prince is the grandson of the present empress dowager and the nephew of Baili Zonglu. His trust in Baili Zonglu is evident. Just look at his appearance of wanting to keep her secret for his uncle's sake, even if he knows everything about Baili Zonglu. Due to Li Zonglu's conspiracy, he might even worship that uncle as a hero.

"Your Highness, you are about the same age as the Ninth Prince, and you have a deep relationship. I wonder what the Ninth Prince likes?" Huo Mingzhu started talking.

Baili Jingqi was already in a daze, thinking about how to break up a couple, but when he heard Huo Mingzhu talking in his ear, he only heard the last half of the sentence, asking about that person's preferences...

Not very happy in his heart, but calm on the surface, Baili Jingqi thought for a while, and said: "I used to play with the emperor's uncle when I was young, but when I grew up, I stayed in the East Palace for a longer time. In addition, the emperor's uncle went out of the palace to build a mansion after he became an adult, and he went out to fight all year round. Although the friendship between Gu and the emperor's nephew cannot be changed, it is not as omnipresent as Miss Huo thought. Therefore, Miss Huo can rest assured , Gu said that I will keep a secret for you, and I will never break my promise."

It must have been a long story, but still didn't get to the point, Baili Jingqi added: "As for the uncle's preferences, Miss Huo can ask his personal guards, what Gu remembers is just Uncle Huang just likes to eat pastries in the palace, especially... he likes sweets."

"Oh, so that's how it is..." Huo Mingzhu listened, focusing on the silly prince. He was clear and clear, with a pair of star eyes that were very pure. He didn't seem like a liar, but Huo Mingzhu heard something wrong——

Based on the relationship between her and Baili Zonglu for more than three years in her previous life, the two have already reached the point of talking about marriage. How can she not understand Baili Zonglu's life habits?

As far as she knows, not only is Baili Zonglu not addicted to sweets, but he hates sweets. When she accompanied him to the Northwest, she took good care of Baili Zonglu's basic necessities of life. He would even be strict with the guards, and take away all the cakes sent by the palace, so how could he be addicted to sweets?

Now that what the prince said conflicts with her past life memories, could it be possible to live again, and Baili Zonglu's habits have been completely changed from the inside out?
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the information." Huo Mingzhu was very polite, and stopped when she reached the gate of the Medicine Master Tower.

Cao An's duty was to saddle the prince and back the horse. Seeing this, he slipped into the threshold early in the morning. Not long after, a monk in a monk's robe came out with his hands clasped together. When he saw Baili Jingqi and Huo Mingzhu, he bowed and saluted: "Poor!" The monk is gone, the two benefactors please enter the Medicine Master Pagoda to speak."

Huo Mingzhu was at a loss, but the crown prince did not rush. After greeting the monk, he stepped into the threshold of the Medicine Master Pagoda, talking and laughing as he walked: "Master Wu, if you want to make a wish, how many floors should you go to? "

"Please come with the poor monk..." The master called Wu led the way.

"Thank you, master." The prince was humble and polite, and walked away.

Huo Mingzhu had no choice but to follow, and together with the silly prince, they reached the seventh floor of the Medicine Master Tower under the guidance of the monk.The monk put the pen and ink on the tray, placed it in front of Huo Mingzhu and the silly prince, and said with a slight smile: "Put the wish book on paper and burn it in front of the Buddha, and it will be considered a wish."

Huo Mingzhu stared at the blank note in a daze, unable to write a word for a long time.The past was so grueling. The stupidest thing she ever did in her previous life was to want to marry Baili Zonglu as his wife. Whether she made a wish before a Buddha or a Taoist immortal, she was only thinking of Baili Zonglu. Baili Zonglu and her are in the pharmacist's tower and by the release pool. She only needs to walk to the tower window to look at his figure in the pavilion...

It's just that she doesn't dare to hand over her heart to anyone.

"Miss Huo, haven't you decided what wish to make yet?" The silly prince suddenly said, Huo Mingzhu looked up, but saw that he had put down the pen and ink in his hand, and folded the piece of paper with writing on it.

The wish of the silly prince was made quickly, and it should be because his heart is open and pure. Huo Mingzhu was so interested to ask him, does a simple-minded person like him wish to be Emperor Dayong?Human desires are always straightforward and elusive, maybe the silly prince will be different.

However, since they were not familiar with each other, Huo Mingzhu didn't want to be presumptuous, so she smiled and said: "Your Highness, go burn it first, and I will come." She picked up the pen, dipped it in the inkstone, and swiped it to write...

Cao An stood beside the prince, wanting to poke his head and see what Huo Mingzhu wrote, so as to find out the direction of the wind for his stupid prince.However, the prince of his family had nothing to pursue, and Miss Huo asked him to burn his vows, so he really got up and went without saying a word.

Huo Mingzhu wrote with all her heart, her expression was cold and hard, her strokes penetrated the back of the paper, but she only wrote two words: "Kill it."

Prince Baili Jingqi walked up to the Buddha statue holding the note, wanting to let go and put the wish in the furnace, but paused for a while, looked back at Huo Mingzhu, saw that she had put down the pen, folded the paper and walked to the Buddha statue. beside him.

The silly prince smiled suspiciously: "Miss Huo's wish is really simple, probably not more than three words?"

Huo Mingzhu smiled, and threw the paper into the fire without hesitation. Seeing that the paper was instantly swept away by the flames and quickly turned into a mass of ashes, she replied flatly, "If you don't want many, one is enough."

Not only at this moment, but in the previous many inadvertent moments, when the prince Baili Jingqi looked at Huo Mingzhu, he would always have an illusion, as if the thoughts and actions of this 15-year-old girl did not match her age.She doesn't have the shyness and embarrassment of a 15-year-old girl, or will she behave differently when facing that person?But when facing him Baili Jingqi, she didn't even glance at him deliberately.
