Chapter 353 Betrayal
Qingchuan Tower is built by the water, with distant green mountains, flying clouds and flowing light, and a long bridge lying on the waves.
Zhu Huaizhen fell in love with Qingchuan Tower at first sight.
However, cough cough cough, Zhu Huaizhen was really disappointed.
This Jiangcheng may be able to defeat her.
Qiu Niang took her pulse and shook her head slightly.
In other words, her occasional mild cough does not indicate any pathology.
Forget it, let’s just go to the opera.
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 was lying on a beauty couch surrounded by black lacquer and gold-painted scrolls of poetry and paintings, holding a round fan with a mahogany handle embroidered with pomegranates, cats and butterflies, and moving it from time to time, as lazy as a Persian cat, while listening to "Peach Blossom Fan".
"Everyone, are you willing to be my opera troupe?" Zhu Huaizhen raised the Double Dragon Begonia luminous cup, smiled sweetly, and his grape eyes were clear and bright.
The Taoyao Army, who were being suppressed one by one by the Chidan Army, could not understand the situation at this moment and looked confused.
"Forget it, I'll wait for your Mr. Chen to wake up and then I'll explain it to you." Zhu Huaizhen sighed lightly.
So Zhu Huaizhen ordered another play, "The Injustice of Dou E".
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.
Zhu Huaizhen originally wanted to order "Changsheng Palace", and then planned to leave it to Chen Mingan.
"Zhenzhen, I will never betray Nanyan." This was the first sentence Chen Mingan said when he woke up.
After hearing this, Lou Li sneered.
If it weren't for Zhu Huaizhen, Chen Ming'an would have died in Southern Yan long ago and would never have betrayed.
Of course, Zhu Huaizhen gave him a look, and Lou Li had to remain silent.
"Do you know Emperor Xuan of Yan's attitude towards Princess Pingyang?" Zhu Huaizhen rubbed his forehead.
"I didn't know it before, but after the Duke Dingguo's Mansion was ransacked, I gradually understood it..." Chen Ming'an lowered his head and took a sip of wine.
Emperor Xuan of Yan had complicated feelings towards Princess Pingyang. On the one hand, he treated her like his elder sister, developing feelings he shouldn't have for her, which led to Consort Wu Huifei, his favorite concubine in the harem. On the other hand, he was wary of Princess Pingyang, as she was a natural warrior, leading the invincible Peony Army.
"Chen Ming'an, if you don't want to betray, then don't betray. Just follow me to listen to the opera from now on." Zhu Huaizhen said softly.
After he finished speaking, Chen Mingan looked at Zhu Huaizhen, with tears in his eyes.
He also thought that Zhu Huaizhen would force him to surrender to Princess Rongyang.
In fact, Chen Mingan was overthinking it.
Zhu Huaizhen would never reuse someone who had betrayed her.
Once unfaithful, never to be trusted again.
In contrast, she prefers Lou Li's loyalty and is more willing to pamper Lou Li.
"Zhen'er, what about me?" Lou Li looked aggrieved and spoke in a resentful tone.
"Take good care of your injuries and listen to the opera carefully." Zhu Huaizhen got off the beauty bed, bent down and kissed Lou Li's cheek, which made Lou Li very intoxicated. He did not forget to show off in front of Chen Mingan.
Seeing this, Chen Mingan wanted to complain that they had no shame.
However, his heart was so bitter that he couldn't say it out loud.
