Chapter 20: Jumping off a cliff
"Ali, can you sing a piece of opera for me?" Zhu Huaizhen said sullenly.
Lou Li really wanted to ask why they suddenly wanted to listen to an opera.
However, on second thought, Zhu Huaizhen probably had no desire to live.
He and Zhu Huaizhen only had a fleeting romance and not much affection between them.
Besides, he doesn't believe in feelings.
Then, Lou Li raised his orchid finger and sang beautifully.
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 hummed along, not to the tune, but shaking his head and being very into the song.
At this time, Queen Nanchu walked out slowly and clapped her hands three times.
This is the Queen of Nanchu who poisoned Concubine Xue. Zhu Huaizhen began to take a closer look.
Zhao Lian'er doesn't look like her at all.
The Queen of Nanchu was thin, with long cheeks and thick white lead powder on her face.
Zhao Lian'er is a lotus made of water, and she is most adorable when the rain hits the banana leaves.
"Zhu Huaizhen, if you want to kill Lian'er, do it as soon as possible." Queen Nanchu sneered.
Zhu Huaizhen was very surprised that a mother didn't care about her daughter so much.
In an instant, the short arrow flew away and headed towards Zhao Lian'er.
Chen Ming'an shouted "Lian'er" and flew forward to block the arrow with his body.
Zhu Huaizhen was stunned when he saw this.
Seeing it with your own eyes is naturally shocking.
It turned out that Chen Ming'an really loved Zhao Lian'er and was willing to risk his life for her without any hesitation.
Recalling the peach blossoms at Hanshan Temple, the spring breeze blurred her eyes and made her ignore the fact that Chen Ming'an hesitated for a moment before blocking the knife with his body, so that her little face was slightly scratched and almost left with a scar and disfigurement.
Her elder sister Zhu Huaishu pointed this out, and this is how Chen Mingan responded.
"Zhenzhen, even if her appearance is ruined, I will still marry her." Chen Mingan vowed.
Haha, what Chen Mingan wanted to say in his heart was to marry her and have her as a concubine.
"Brother Ming'an, why are you so stupid? Mother may not really want to shoot me..." Zhao Lian'er struggled to hold Chen Ming'an, who collapsed, and cried bitterly.
"Lian'er, I haven't thought so much." Chen Ming'an raised his hand and gently wiped the corner of Zhao Lian'er's eyes. His tone was unprecedentedly gentle, like the spring breeze that turned the south bank of the river green, and suddenly a pair of scissors appeared and pierced into Zhu Huaizhen's heart.
Zhu Huaizhen covered his chest with his hands, it really hurt.
She is also stupid. Why hasn't she completely let go of Chen Mingan until now?
In a flash, Lou Li snatched the iron dagger inlaid with gold flakes and placed it on Chen Ming'an's neck. He also pointed out Chen Ming'an and Zhao Lian'er's acupoints and said with a lazy smile, "Queen Nanchu, I understand that you don't care about your own daughter. However, if I kill the prince of the Duke Dingguo of Nanyan, will the Duke Dingguo mobilize the Chen family army to wipe out your people? Do you not care?"
After hearing this, Queen Nanchu raised her hand and signaled the guards to withdraw.
At this moment, Zhu Huaizhen pounced on her and used all his strength to drag the Queen of Nanchu to the edge of the cliff, then jumped off in a carefree manner.
Forget it, taking Queen Nanchu away is more cost-effective than taking Zhao Lian'er away.
After all, Queen Nanchu poisoned her mother to death.
The wind whistled in her ears, and she seemed to hear Chen Mingan's heart-wrenching scream.
Oh, is Chen Mingan going to die too? That’s good.
Without Chen Mingan in this world to protect Zhao Lian'er, she wondered if Zhao Lian'er would become even more pitiful.
