"Master, I am also willing to assassinate the dog emperor. The Qing Dynasty owes me more than twenty lives, and I will make them pay for their blood debt..." As the two hall masters, Red and Yellow, volunteered, the other hall members could not hold back and stood up to request to go to the Yuanmingyuan.
"I want to go too! I'm highly skilled in martial arts and adept at disguise, so my sisters shouldn't compete with me!" The green-robed leader stood up and declared loudly. Instantly, the council hall erupted in debate, with everyone volunteering to go to the Yuanmingyuan.
Zhu Wanqing was deeply moved to see everyone so eager to volunteer. Knowing that these people were all loyal followers of hers, she was very happy.
Zhu Wanqing said with relief, "Everyone, please be quiet. I will remember your loyalty. I am deeply moved to see you all willing to sacrifice yourselves for the Ming Dynasty. However, as your leader, I will never let you put yourselves in danger for no reason. I still need to consider the matter of infiltrating the Yuanmingyuan to assassinate the dog emperor. I must ensure that everything goes smoothly before I can act. I will select the assassins after my plan is finalized..."
Following Zhu Wanqing's instructions, the hall masters calmed down and withdrew.
Zhu Wanqing sat alone in the council hall for a long time before getting up. However, she did not go out but instead went to the first cabinet by the wall, on which was a blue and white porcelain vase. Zhu Wanqing hugged the vase with both hands and moved it with force. Suddenly, the wall in front of Zhu Wanqing transformed into a stone door and slowly opened.
Zhu Wanqing slowly walked in, pushed open a wooden door, and saw dozens of memorial tablets neatly arranged on the altar in the middle of the room after the door opened, the light was dim.
This is Zhu Wanqing's hidden mourning hall, and inside are indeed the memorial tablets of Zhu Wanqing's father, mother, and others.
Zhu Wanqing slowly walked to the token, lit an incense stick, and knelt before the altar.
After kowtowing three times, she placed the incense sticks in the burner and did not intend to get up. Instead, she knelt on the ground, two lines of clear tears streaming down Zhu Wanqing's cheeks.
Zhu Wanqing suppressed her overwhelming emotions and sobbed for a long time before finally speaking: "Father, Mother... I will avenge you soon..."
Zhu Wanqing wiped away the tears from the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand, sobbing uncontrollably: "So many years... have passed, and you've been... suffering here all this time. But... don't worry, your daughter will soon be able to bring you back to the light of day..."
"The Tartar emperor destroyed my Great Ming, killed my people, and left us homeless. I have never forgotten this hatred... All these years I have been lurking by the Fourteenth Prince's side, hoping that one day I can seize back the country that belongs to us..." Zhu Wanqing glanced at all the memorial tablets on the altar, and the hatred in her heart deepened.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Father, Mother, all our ancestors, please be patient a little longer, your daughter will succeed soon! The dog emperor will hold a flower-viewing banquet at the Yuanmingyuan. Before, the palace was heavily guarded, and I couldn't get in, but the Yuanmingyuan is different. Once the dog emperor leaves the palace, there won't be so many people protecting him, and I'll have a chance to get close to him..."
As she spoke, Zhu Wanqing seemed to see a glimmer of victory, and her emotions surged: "As long as he dies, I can support the Fourteenth Prince to become emperor! Then I can give birth to a prince for him and become the crown prince... and then the descendants of my Great Ming can reclaim the throne..."
Zhu Wanqing suddenly burst into laughter, tears streaming down her face, saying, "It will be successful soon, it will be successful soon..."
