Chapter 298 Death
Emperor Chu Ming didn't dare to set foot into Haiyue Cottage again.
He was busy explaining to Northern Zhou, Northern Jin and Southern Yan.
He just wanted to survive, so how could he possibly have any intention of taking the treasure of the Great Zhou.
Besides, Princess Ronghua has the commander of the Jinyiwei of Southern Yan and the prince of Duke Dingguo of Southern Yan as her two protectors, who take turns to guard her. He can't even touch the hem of Princess Ronghua's skirt.
Since there is an explanation, there must be an apology.
The things Princess Ronghua sent were originally intended to be returned.
However, the apology was not enough, so Emperor Chu Ming checked again and again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he stuffed some of it in.
Moreover, Princess Ronghua was sent to him continuously, how could Emperor Chu Ming not be tempted?
Emperor Ming of Chu became emperor out of greed for wealth.
Wow, those jade mountains, exquisitely carved, are all masterpieces from the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are the Dushan Jade Sea, the Jade Mountain with the Picture of Dayu Controlling the Flood, the Jade Mountain with the Picture of the Nine Elders of Huichang, the Jade Mountain with the Picture of the Nine Elders of Huichang, the Jade Mountain with the Picture of the Old Man of Pine and Crane, the Jade Mountain with the Longevity Deer, the Jade Mountain with Carved Figures, the Jade Mountain with Coiled Dragons, and so on.
Wow, those jars, with various shapes, are also exquisite products from the Great Zhou Dynasty, such as the Doucai coiled lotus animal-ear wall vase, the yellow-ground painted enamel phoenix-dancing peony bundle vase, the Jizhou kiln tortoiseshell glaze paper-cut double-phoenix pattern long-necked vase, the Longquan kiln plum green double-phoenix ear paper hammer vase, the green glaze covered jar with figures and linked beads pattern, the Longquan kiln celadon glaze covered jar with dragon pattern and bird button, the red pottery stacked figure and flying bird granary jar, the blue and white coiled peony pattern tower-shaped covered jar, the Longquan kiln celadon lotus leaf-shaped covered porcelain jar, and so on.
Tsk tsk, those vases are so elegant and simple, exquisite pieces from the Great Zhou Dynasty. For example, there's the blue and white phoenix-head plum vase with twined floral patterns, the high-necked glass relic vase with a polished pattern, the blue and white plum vase depicting Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon, the large blue and white underglaze red peach globe vase, the Ru kiln sky-blue glazed folded-shoulder vase, the peacock green glazed porcelain vase with pierced ears, the sky-blue glazed long-necked vase with carved chrysanthemum patterns, the Longquan kiln powder-green glazed porcelain boat with pierced ears, the Dehua kiln white porcelain vase with dark spiral patterns and paved ears, the Ru glazed hexagonal vase...
Emperor Ming of Chu had no idea that these were all fine products from the Great Zhou Dynasty.
When he was young, he lived in poverty and did not recognize these collections.
An old eunuch recognized him and gave him a casual reminder.
Emperor Chu Ming carefully looked through it but could not find any trace of Princess Ronghua.
It can also be said that he plundered it from the people.
"Your Highness, Qiu Niang said that those items thrown into the warehouse all have a faint fragrance that can dispel evil spirits before they are sent out." Tu Mi frowned and spoke in a low voice.
The ingredients of this exorcist incense are agarwood, cloves, amomum villosum, perilla, musk, bletilla striata, and camphor. First, clean the agarwood and soak it in a musk solution for a day and a night. Remove the agarwood and dry it in the shade. Grind it into a fine powder and set aside. Next, grind the cloves, amomum villosum, perilla, and an appropriate amount of camphor into a fine powder and set aside. Next, grind the bletilla striata to extract the sticky juice and mix it with the two incense powders to make two different incense pills. Finally, place the agarwood powder incense pill on top and the mixed incense pills made with cloves, amomum villosum, perilla, and camphor below, and press them into a fragrant cake.
"Well, this kind of incense used in the Great Zhou Emperor's Mausoleum is to protect against dark and damp environments, as well as snakes, insects, rats and ants." Zhu Huaizhen held up his rosy cheeks, smiling like a flower, his eyes moving.
After hearing this, Tu Mi shook his head and laughed.
Her prince had finally betrayed Emperor Chu Ming.
No matter how much the Northern Zhou, Northern Jin, and Southern Yan were reluctant to part with the puppet Emperor Chu Ming, they still had to consider the emperor's enthusiasm for the treasures of the Great Zhou.
Then, Emperor Chu Ming is not far from death.
