Chapter 274 Shadow
"Princess Ronghua, His Majesty is recuperating." The old eunuch waved his whisk and cried.
"Tu Mi, find a way to break down the door. You must see the Emperor of Nanchu today." Zhu Huaizhen said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tu Mi drew his sword, channeled his inner strength, and pried open the door through the crack, only to find that there was no one there.
"So, those gentleman incense are just a decoy?" Zhu Huaizhen murmured for a moment.
"Princess Ronghua, His Majesty has gone to supervise the army, and I can't persuade him." The old eunuch suddenly collapsed to the ground, crying bitterly.
"He is not Emperor Chu Ming, he is just the shadow of Emperor Chu Ming." Zhu Huaizhen said in a deep voice.
The so-called shadow is actually a substitute trained by the emperor, who will be used when necessary.
After he finished speaking, the old eunuch was stunned for a long while.
Zhu Huaizhen then understood that she had guessed right.
The moment Emperor Ming of Chu heard that Northern Zhou, Northern Jin, and Southern Yan were planning a joint attack on Southern Yan, he switched places with Shadow and fled Jiangcheng. However, Emperor Ming of Chu was so adept at gaining fame and reputation that he must have deceived Shadow, claiming he was terminally ill and dying, and that for the sake of Southern Chu's long-term stability, he would leave Southern Chu to Shadow's care.
Shadow imitates Emperor Chu Ming in every way and appears to be very wise.
There is just one thing that Zhu Huai really can't understand.
How did the shadow deceive Lou Li?
Lou Li is the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and has seen all kinds of monsters and demons.
Thinking of this, Zhu Huaizhen suddenly had a bad feeling.
She asked everyone she met if they had seen Lou Li.
The pieced-together answer is that Lou Li hasn't shown up for a long time.
"Tu Mi, how could Ali be so cruel!" Zhu Huaizhen walked too fast and fell to the ground without noticing, and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Your Highness, I don't understand." Tumi said honestly.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen glanced at Tu Mi and subconsciously didn't want to continue.
Unexpectedly, she defended Ali so much.
She still thought that she and Ali were just playing around, a play of deep love but short fate.
"Tu Mi, there are several gates in Jiangcheng. Let's go find Yingzi and ask him to find a way to trick Emperor Chu Ming here, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." Zhu Huaizhen rode his horse again and galloped.
"Your Highness, why do you want to change it back? I think this shadow is much more passionate than Emperor Chu Ming. Emperor Chu Ming is just a coward." Tu Mi also rode a fast horse and followed slowly.
"Tu Mi, would Emperor Chu Ming be willing to give up the glory and wealth of Southern Chu?" Zhu Huaizhen sneered.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tu Mi understood and instantly became filled with hatred for evil.
Therefore, Emperor Ming of Chu would go to Northern Zhou alone and sell out the entire Jiangcheng at a critical moment.
"Your Highness, you don't know martial arts, and there is chaos outside. Go back to Haiyue Cottage first and wait for me to find out everything. It will take an hour at most." Tu Mi jumped onto Zhu Huaizhen's horse, turned around without saying a word, and headed straight for Haiyue Cottage.
When they arrived at Haiyue Cottage, Tu Mi picked up Zhu Huaizhen, carried him back horizontally, and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Zhu Huaizhen curled his lips and rolled his eyes.
Those who don’t know this might think that Tu Mi is also from Southern Chu.
To be honest, Zhu Huaizhen would try his best to save Nan Chu, but he didn't have such an urgent desire to do so.
However, Tu Mi only took half an hour to come back and report.
"Your Highness, Shadow is at the Xugu City Gate, dealing with the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Xugu City Gate is a hilly area, so both attack and defense are easy, and we can only rely on our strength. When I went over, Shadow had been hit by an arrow, but fortunately it was not a poisonous arrow, and he is recovering in the military camp." Tu Mi was panting, obviously exhausted from running back and forth.
