Chapter 174 Dagger

This shadow guard lived up to expectations and defeated a group of Yulin soldiers in less than an incense stick of time.

To put it bluntly, the Yulin Army of Southern Chu is too weak.

If it were the Yulin Army of Southern Yan, Zhu Huaizhen would not let the shadow guard go to die.

"Emperor Cheng of Chu, please write a confession of guilt to make me happy for a while." Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.

She found a random rock to sit on, waved to the frightened palace maid, and smiled brightly: "Have a sip of this rich and colorful tea: sesame salt, bamboo shoots, chestnuts, loofah kernels, walnut kernels, spring immortal seagull, swan osmanthus, rose, and brine, Lu'an sparrow tongue bud tea."

"By the way, it would be even better if there was a drama troupe." Zhu Huaizhen continued.

After hearing this, the palace maid was confused for a moment and looked at Emperor Chu Cheng and Concubine Miao.

"Go ahead, Princess Ronghua likes to listen to "Peach Blossom Fan." Concubine Miao waved her hand.

Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.

Zhu Huaizhen patted his chest, feeling a little scared.

She just thought that she was really going to die in the Jokhang Palace.

If the Yulin Army of Nanchu was acting normally, the Shadow Guards would not be able to defeat so many of them.

After the palace maid left, Concubine Miao dismissed the outsiders.

Zhu Huaizhen felt bad and pretended to run away.

"Princess Ronghua, where do you want to escape to? It's not only the Emperor of Southern Wu who has shadow guards, the Emperor of Southern Chu has some too." Emperor Cheng of Chu pulled out a dragonfly-shaped hairpin inlaid with gold, pearls and gems from Concubine Miao's bun, and took out a black pill from the dragonfly's eyes.

Zhu Huaizhen guessed that it should be a flare.

This time, I really have to give in and run away.

However, in a flash, Concubine Miao intercepted the signal flare and threw it into the bottom of Yuquan Water, while at the same time she shook out a sheep-horn dagger from her sleeve and stabbed it directly into the chest of Emperor Chu Cheng.

Emperor Chu Cheng pointed at Concubine Miao, in disbelief. The pain invaded him, causing his brows to furrow and the corners of his eyes to turn red.

"Sanlang, I love you." Concubine Miao suddenly embraced Emperor Chu Cheng in her arms, her eyes blurred with tears.

When Zhu Huaizhen saw this, he was dumbfounded.

Concubine Miao was clearly a favored concubine, so why did she kill Emperor Chu Cheng, the only person in the world who might protect her?

Since Emperor Chu Cheng was killed, why did Concubine Miao say that she loved Emperor Chu Cheng?

"If we save him, maybe he can survive." Zhu Huaizhen said weakly.

In fact, Zhu Huaizhen didn't really want to save Emperor Cheng of Chu.

Emperor Cheng of Chu wanted to kill her just now.

Moreover, one can tell how ridiculous Emperor Cheng of Chu is just by looking at the Guanyin Tower.

Zhu Huaizhen was testing Concubine Miao's attitude towards Emperor Cheng of Chu.

As a result, Concubine Miao pulled out the sheep-horn dagger and stabbed Emperor Chu Cheng again. This time she used even more strength, leaving only the handle. The pain made Emperor Chu Cheng's face turn pale and his breathing gradually weakened.

Well, Concubine Miao will not let Emperor Chu Cheng live.

Then Zhu Huaizhen would be relieved.

Zhu Huaizhen planned to escape.

If he stayed here, he would be arrested as a murderer sooner or later.

Zhu Huaizhen speculated that the emperor of Nanchu was killed so easily perhaps because the emperor of Nanchu did not have much real power and the power was dispersed in the hands of the aristocratic families.

What are the great families in Southern Chu?

Zhu Huaizhen felt that it was time for her to go to the Bai Mansion and find out more from her elder sister.

Unfortunately, just as she turned around, Concubine Miao vomited a mouthful of black blood, which happened to splash on the corner of Zhu Huaizhen's skirt, forcing Zhu Huaizhen to pay attention.
