Chapter 271 Two Days
On the second day of the siege, Zhu Huaizhen finally stopped coughing.
She slept soundly until the sun was shining on her butt.
"Your Highness, you must go out today. It's very lively outside." Tu Mi said with a smile.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen nodded slightly.
However, seeing the scorching sun, Zhu Huaizhen decided to go out later.
She should just enjoy her life first.
So, she lay on the beauty couch surrounded by black lacquer and gold-painted scrolls of poetry and paintings, holding a mahogany-handled round fan embroidered with pomegranates, cats and butterflies, moving it back and forth, her posture as lazy as a Persian cat.
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.
Listen to "Peach Blossom Fan" once, and pair it with the rich and colorful tea of sesame, salt, bamboo shoots, chestnuts, loofah kernels, walnut kernels, spring immortal seagull, swan osmanthus, rose and brine, and Lu'an sparrow tongue bud tea.
The sun and moon hang in the sky at dawn and dusk, and spirits wield the power of life and death. Heaven and earth, supposed to distinguish between the clear and the turbid, yet how could they have confused Dao Zhi and Yan Yuan? Those who do good suffer poverty and a shorter life, while those who commit evil enjoy wealth and longevity. Heaven and earth, seemingly coveting the strong and bullying the weak, yet they also seem to go along with the tide. Earth, if you can't distinguish between good and evil, what are you called Earth? Heaven, you misjudge the wise and the foolish, unworthy of being Heaven! Alas, all I can do is shed tears.
I also listened to "The Injustice of Dou E" with the song "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall".
Sugar-heart abalone, pineapple sea cucumber, white shark lips, young deer tendons, claw meat, golden shark fin, ivory clam meat, spider fish glue, quail eggs, ham, pork ribs, clean winter bamboo shoots, king oyster mushrooms, chrysanthemum mushrooms, wild pine mushrooms, morels, snow bamboo fungus, Shaoxing wine, eighteen ingredients, eighteen delicious flavors. The moment you lift the lotus leaf covering the jar, the rich meaty aroma is so fragrant that even a Buddha would jump over the wall.
Then, at Tu Mi's urging, she finally went out.
It turns out that the men of Nanchu were training soldiers, while the women of Nanchu were raising children and supporting their families.
"Do you all love Nanchu so much?" Zhu Huaizhen touched his chin, feeling confused.
"Your Highness, there are also many people who fled Jiangcheng, such as the Lanling Xiao family and the Nanyang Zheng family. The rest can escape, but they just don't want to." Tu Mi whispered.
The aristocratic families are like this, seeking profit and avoiding harm. Once they have established their foothold, they stand on the moral high ground and show themselves off as if they have never done anything to betray.
"So, Tu Mi, you want me to save Nan Chu." Zhu Huaizhen said sullenly.
She had never wavered in this idea.
Unfortunately, Nan Chu assisted Nan Yan in destroying Nan Wu and killing her mother, which made her feel very upset.
"Your Highness, do you have any ideas? I will just do it. You don't need to spend any money or effort. Oh no, just a little money at most." Tu Mi bowed deeply.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen was silent for a long time.
She folded her arms and looked around.
Those young men who were supposed to be traveling with their friends picked up the Qingmo Dao and waved it around. They looked quite capable, but in fact they were vulnerable.
"Let these young men protect the elderly, the weak, women and children and retreat to Northern Jin." Zhu Huaizhen said in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, how can we persuade him?" Tu Mi asked anxiously.
"The adults protect everyone, and the children protect their own families. If they don't want to, knock them out and take them away. Let the elderly, weak, women and children protect them. See if they can afford to lose face." Zhu Huaizhen said coldly, then he seemed to be thinking about it and continued, "Such a good deed will be recorded in the name of Big Sister."
