Chapter 526 Death
"Your Highness, what exactly did Chen Liang write in blood?" Tu Mi asked.
"Tu Mi, come listen to the opera with me." Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.
During this period, Tu Mi was busy every day and was very nervous.
On the one hand, she was worried that Empress Du would win an overwhelming victory, which would make it very difficult for Her Highness to deal with Empress Du; on the other hand, she was worried that Concubine Bai would defeat Empress Du with the help of the power of the Shangjing Du family and Emperor Zhao of Zhou, and then Concubine Xue's coffin would not be able to hold it down.
Seeing Tu Mi so worried, Zhu Huaizhen had to comfort her.
Listening to "Peach Blossom Fan" accompanied by Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and a cup of rich and colorful tea with sesame salt, bamboo shoots, chestnuts, loofah kernels, walnut kernels, spring immortal seagull, swan osmanthus, rose and brine, and Lu'an sparrow tongue bud tea, life is nourished.
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.
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.
So, Tu Mi obediently ordered a play called "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.
"Chen Liang's blood book says that he saw Du Zichun shed tears of blood before he died, and he was full of guilt. If he hadn't insisted on doing it to Zhao Lian'er, knowing that Zhao Lian'er was his substitute, Du Zichun would not have died, and the catatonic state might have been resurrected. Recently, he often burns incense to comfort his soul and can't sleep well..." Zhu Huaizhen took a sip of tea.
The main ingredients of soul-soothing incense are agarwood, benzoin, frankincense, angelica root, fennel, and honey. First, clean the agarwood and, while still damp, pound it in a stone mortar with the benzoin until it is coarsely granulated. Add the frankincense and pound it into a fine powder. Next, soak the angelica root and fennel in light salt water for three incense sticks, remove them, dry them, and grind them into a fine powder. Next, grind the two incense powders further until they are even finer. There are two ways to use this incense: one is to mold it into seal incense and burn it before bed to promote sleep. The other is to add an appropriate amount of honey to the final incense powder and make incense pills, about the size of mung beans. Then, use the frying method to force out the aroma. Use the remaining ash to make small pills, which can be taken with water before bed to soothe the mind and aid digestion.
"After much thought, he concluded that he would only feel at peace if he atoned for Zhao Lian'er's sins. Besides, he should let Zhao Lian'er go and pursue happiness with Chen Ming'an, then his death would be worth it. Finally, he admitted that it was he who killed Du Zichun with the pear blossom snow poison." Zhu Huaizhen said slowly.
"The Dali Temple didn't believe it, and Chen Nuo didn't believe it even more, so they suspected Zhao Lian'er. Because no matter how you read Chen Liang's blood letter, it sounded like he was willing to die for Zhao Lian'er, which fits Zhao Lian'er's image as a beauty who brings disaster." Tu Mi said softly.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen smiled sweetly, his eyes clear and bright.
