Chapter 4: Glory
"Zhu Huaizhen, you are shameless. You actually betrayed Brother Ming'an!" Zhao Lian'er said gritting her teeth.
This is ridiculous. Chen Ming'an is about to destroy her Nan Wu. She must be crazy to still love him.
At this moment, Zhu Huaizhen didn't have enough free time to fool Zhao Lian'er.
She remembered that Chen Ming'an once told her that there was a mechanism hidden in the railings on the ninth floor of Swallow Tower that could help her jump from the ninth floor to the ground. This was specially designed for use when walking on water.
Therefore, she took advantage of the moment when Zhao Lian'er was standing up for Chen Ming'an, suddenly raised her leg and kicked the guard's Zisun Gen, then ran madly, crossed the railing, and quickly pressed the mechanism.
Fortunately, Chen Mingan did not deceive her about this matter.
With the help of a rope, she bounced down safely.
"A Li, kill them all for me and leave only Zhao Lian'er! I want her to see Chen Ming'an's tragic end before she dies!" Zhu Huaizhen yelled at the top of his lungs while running away desperately.
She had to keep running until she reached the palace, where she would be safe.
However, she was really unlucky. As soon as she arrived at the palace, she ran into Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu.
"Huaizhen, why don't you pay attention when you walk?" Zhu Huaishu said angrily.
Zhu Huaishu is the eldest daughter of the empress dowager and a cousin of Zhao Lian'er, so she must be guarded against.
"Big sister, Zhao Lian'er's asthma has relapsed and she is in Swallow Tower." Zhu Huaizhen lied without thinking, and cold sweat broke out on his palms.
Damn, I wonder if Zhu Huaishu was involved in Chen Mingan and Zhao Lian'er's conspiracy to destroy Southern Wu.
Thinking of this, Zhu Huaizhen felt scared and quickly ran away.
Seeing this, Zhu Huaishu followed slowly.
Zhu Huaizhen looked back and felt a chill in his heart. He had no choice but to run.
Oh, my body is so weak. I don’t like to exercise, and now it’s not working well. I’m running out of breath and am about to be caught up by Zhu Huaishu.
So, Zhu Huaizhen was clever again. She turned and ran to the cold palace, crawled through a dog hole, and then took a shortcut and went directly to Jiaotai Hall, which was the bedroom of her father, Emperor Wu Zhang.
"Father, Zhen'er has something important to report. Don't promote Chen Ming'an to the position of prime minister. He is the prince of Duke Dingguo of Southern Yan. He is colluding with Nan Chu behind Zhao Lian'er and wants to destroy our Southern Wu!" Zhu Huaizhen always broke into Jiaotai Hall and no one stopped him.
"Zhen'er, don't you want to marry Chen Ming'an anymore?" Emperor Wu Zhang sat in front of the desk, looking a little decadent.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen shook his head like a rattle.
In this life, she, Zhu Huaizhen, would rather marry a chicken or a dog than Chen Mingan.
"Zhen'er, don't you love Chen Ming'an anymore?" Emperor Wu Zhang asked in a low voice.
Zhu Huaizhen shook his head again. There was no love anymore, only hate.
"Well then, I can kill Chen Ming'an." Emperor Wu Zhang pondered for a moment.
"Yeah, wait..." Zhu Huaizhen blurted out, and then slapped himself, feeling really shameless.
If Chen Ming'an had not played with her feelings and gained Aye's trust, how could Chen Ming'an have quickly broken into the Southern Wu court and then tricked the soldiers defending the city into opening the city gates?
The national hatred and family feuds are all here, how can Chen Mingan die?
Therefore, Zhu Huaizhen covered the pain that surged in his chest and whispered, "Aye, kill Chen Mingan."
"My true son has grown up." Emperor Wu Zhang shook his head and laughed.
"Father, have you known for a long time that Chen Ming'an is the prince of Duke Dingguo of Southern Yan?" Zhu Huaizhen suddenly realized and his eyes turned red.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Wu Zhang stood up, gently touched Zhu Huaizhen's head, and said with a smile: "Zhen'er, I don't care who Chen Ming'an is. As long as he is the one you love in your heart, I will fulfill your wish, because you are my Princess Ronghua. You will live a life of wealth and glory, and live forever without worries."
Just as he finished speaking, the Yulin Army came to report that the gates of Gusu city were wide open and soldiers from Southern Yan were pouring in from all directions.
