Chapter 551 Imperial Concubine
Tu Mi and Qiu Niang began to pack their luggage.
Zhu Huaizhen did not listen to the opera, but just sat quietly.
She didn't eat a single bite of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that Qiu Niang cooked for her.
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.
"Your Highness, Qiu Niang will take part of the Taoyao Army and pretend to leave the Northern Zhou capital Shangjing, travel to Northern Jin, and then disperse, disguise themselves, and flow back to Northern Zhou. Is this arrangement okay?" Tu Mi asked softly.
Empress Du has not returned Lou Li yet, and Lou Li is afraid that he is in great danger.
Tu Mi and Qiu Niang both guessed a possibility.
Her Highness must have guessed it, which is why he remained silent.
"Qiu Niang, is there an antidote for the living dead?" Zhu Huaizhen said sullenly, tears in his eyes.
Whether she admits it or not, Lou Li was probably trained by Queen Du to be a living dead.
Only in this way can Queen Du have a chance to get her hands on Lou Li.
The gentle fragrance and the Mi Die Powder could not subdue Lou Li at all.
Zhu Huaizhen felt very regretful. He should have thought of this at the beginning and persuaded Lou Li to surrender earlier.
However, at that time, Zhu Huaizhen was very naive and did not want Lou Li to be humiliated by Queen Du.
"Your Highness, it depends on whether he is alive or dead." Qiu Niang said softly.
"If I'm alive, I can forgive some people. If I'm dead, then let the entire Northern Zhou be buried with me." Zhu Huaizhen suddenly smiled strangely.
Seeing this, Tu Mi was shocked and quickly hugged Zhu Huaizhen.
Her prince might lose his mind because of Prince Jin Louli.
"Tu Mi, it's okay." Zhu Huaizhen gently pushed Tu Mi away.
She stood up, looked at the palace from afar, and suddenly had an idea.
So, in the middle of the night, Zhu Huaizhen asked Tu Mi to go to the palace.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Princess Ronghua." Emperor Zhao of Zhou sat in the dark without lighting a lamp, his voice deep.
After hearing this, Tu Mi became alert and protected Zhu Huaizhen behind him.
However, Zhu Huaizhen shook his head slightly and signaled Tu Mi to leave.
"Your Highness, going to ask him for help is like trying to get the skin of a tiger. He has been married to Queen Du for more than ten years. Even if there is no love between them, there is a tacit understanding between them." Tu Mi said angrily.
"Tu Mi, Queen Du had a miscarriage for the first time and has been unable to get pregnant since then. It was his doing." Zhu Huaizhen whispered.
"No, I'm just going with the flow." Emperor Zhao of Zhou shook his head and laughed.
At that time, Emperor Zhao of Zhou acted so affectionate with Empress Du every day that he almost believed it himself.
Unfortunately, Queen Du never looked down upon him and treated him as a living dead to be played with whenever she wanted.
You say, how can a noble lady from a prominent family be so vicious and cruel?
"Tu Mi, I need the antidote for the living dead. You are right, the person who knows Empress Du best in this world is none other than Emperor Zhao of Zhou. If he had not found a way to check and balance her, Empress Du would have killed him suddenly, and then chosen an obedient little boy from the royal family to rule the country from behind the curtain. The Shangjing Du family not only curbed Emperor Zhao of Zhou, but also Empress Du. However, neither Emperor Zhao of Zhou nor Empress Du dared to act rashly. It was me who broke the balance with my own hands and weakened the strength of the Shangjing Du family. I should have thought about the situation today..." As Zhu Huaizhen spoke, his tone gradually became sad, and his brows were stained with a deep and insoluble sorrow.
"My concubine is very smart." Emperor Zhao of Zhou clapped his hands three times and laughed heartily.
Yes, Emperor Zhao of Zhou agreed to give Zhu Huaizhen the antidote to the living dead on the condition that he would make Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen his concubine.
