Chapter 5: Alive
The city fell? Early?
Then what is the meaning of her rebirth?
Zhu Huai was really confused.
At this time, her mother, Concubine Xue, was wearing a pomegranate red riding uniform with arrow sleeves. On her left was the thin young man who could not raise his head. He was the third prince Zhu Huaichen. Behind him followed an elegant girl with a sad brow. She was Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu.
"Brother Zhang, Gusu can no longer be saved. What should we do?" asked Concubine Xue.
"Xiao Xue, are you afraid of death?" Emperor Wu Zhang's eyes instantly turned red.
"Your Majesty, my Xue family is full of loyal heroes. As long as Southern Wu survives, the Xue family survives. As long as Southern Wu perishes, the Xue family perishes." Concubine Xue lifted her skirt and performed the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows with a solemn expression.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Wu Zhang hurriedly helped Concubine Xue to her feet and tried to embrace her, but the three children were all there. He coughed uncomfortably and whispered, "Huaishu, take Zhen'er and Huaichen and escape from Gusu."
"Father, do you trust me?" Zhu Huaishu's voice trembled.
Zhu Huaishu guessed that the opening of the Gusu city gate must have been the work of his mother.
My mother is the empress dowager and the second daughter of the Duke of Nanchuqing.
"Huaishu, you are my most outstanding daughter, unlike me." Emperor Wu Zhang shook his head and laughed.
Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu, at the age of fifteen, disguised herself as a man and sneaked into the imperial examinations. She passed the autumn examinations and the spring examinations, and entered the Golden Palace. She was recognized by Emperor Wu Zhang at a glance, so she was not selected as the third place in the imperial examinations.
Sometimes Emperor Wu Zhang didn't want to review memorials and wanted to paint, so he secretly asked Princess Rongyang for help.
If the empress knew that Emperor Wu Zhang intended to support Princess Rongyang as the crown princess, she would probably be devastated.
"Father, mother, what are you going to do?" Zhu Huaizhen asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Huaishu knocked Zhu Huaizhen unconscious with a clean and neat move.
"Huaishu, Zhen'er is not smart to begin with, so please be gentler next time." Concubine Xue said coquettishly.
So, Zhu Huaishu took Zhu Huaizhen and Zhu Huaichen and entered the secret passage under the escort of secret guards.
As for Emperor Wu Zhang and Concubine Xue, they were prepared to commit suicide by burning themselves, as this was the best way to maintain the dignity of a king who had lost his country.
However, Zhu Huaizhen woke up early.
"Big sister, I have a good idea. Let's kidnap Zhao Lian'er and force Chen Ming'an to surrender." Zhu Huaizhen said softly, looking serious.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaishu rolled his eyes.
How naive was Zhu Huaizhen to actually think that a man would give up a city for a woman. You know, this city has countless women.
"Big sister, think about it, he is the prince of Duke Dingguo of Nanyan. He can like any noble lady, but he fell in love with Princess Zhao Lian'er of Nanchu. Nanchu and Nanwu have been friends for generations and are very close to each other. He can only sneak into Nanwu and destroy Nanwu before he can ask for Zhao Lian'er's hand in marriage. What is love in this world? It makes people swear to be together for life and death..." As Zhu Shuzhen spoke, a sour feeling surged in her heart and her eyes gradually turned red.
Yes, Chen Mingan was hypocritical to her from the beginning to the end, just because she was Princess Ronghua.
"Okay, Zhen'er, you should go and settle things with that couple." Zhu Huaishu sighed lightly.
Zhu Huaishu didn't think that Zhu Huaizhen could succeed.
However, if Zhu Huaizhen returned to Gusu, he would most likely be captured. In order to protect Zhu Huaizhen, Emperor Wu Zhang and Concubine Xue did not dare to commit suicide by burning themselves.
By then, after she has settled Zhu Huaichen, she will go back to Nanchu with her mother, be her mother's good daughter, and then find a way to rescue Zhu Huaizhen.
So, Zhu Huaishu gave half of the secret guards to Zhu Huaizhen.
"Zhu Huaizhen, you must stay alive no matter what happens. Only by staying alive can you get revenge!" Zhu Huaishu shouted.
After he finished speaking, Zhu Huaizhen's eyes were filled with tears.
In her previous life, she was very cowardly and was humiliated one after another by Chen Mingan's guards. She became disheartened and could not live anymore.
