Chapter 288 They Are All Acting

In Chang'an Tai Chi Palace.

King Huai sat high in the main hall, with his newly rewarded courtiers below.

Zhou Siming was made the new Duke of Wu, Qin Shu also became the new Duke of Qin, and was given the position of Taiwei. Some of the others were officials from Luoyang, and some were officials who stayed in Chang'an and surrendered to King Huai.

Zhou Siming cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there is new news from the northwest. Marquis Anyuan is seriously injured. I believe Marquis Anyuan's army will not be able to resist the Northern Desert army for much longer. Now is a good time to attack Luoyang."

If Luoyang is not conquered, then King Huai is not justified in his reputation.

King Huai said: "Don't be anxious about this matter. The governors from various places have not shown their loyalty to me yet and rushed to Luoyang..."

Zhou Siming gritted his teeth and said: "King Huai, Li Lingling is dead, and now my second uncle has come to Chang'an to follow you.

Sisi has no one to protect her in Luoyang. There is no telling when she will be beheaded. We must attack Luoyang quickly to rescue Sisi! "

King Huai said: "Don't worry, my father has not been seen for almost a month since he was poisoned. If you act rashly now, you will only make a mistake!"

"Your Majesty, you promised me that after you ascend the throne, you will rescue Sisi and make her your queen!" Zhou Siming said loudly.

King Huai slapped the dragon chair angrily and said loudly: "Now, I am your Majesty. I have tolerated it for so many years, how can you come to me and speak loudly?"

Qin Shu repeatedly advised Zhou Siming: "Siming, you and Miaomiao are about to get married, it's better not to annoy His Majesty."

Zhou Siming was concerned about the Qin family and could only endure it. Yes, the Southwest Army was defeated and Lu Chen's life or death was uncertain. It was the mourning period for the Queen Mother and she would not kill Sisi.

Qin Shu returned to the Qin Mansion and heard the maid report that Qin Miaomiao had not eaten for a day.

Qin Shu said: "They are all spoiling her. If she doesn't want to eat, they will forcefully feed her. We can't let her starve to death. At least she can still be used to marry Zhou Siming!"

In Qin Miaomiao's room, her eyes were filled with tears when she heard the words from the maid, "How could my brother become such an unfaithful and unfilial beast!"

The maid looked at Qin Miaomiao with utmost disdain: "Miss, why are you still pretending to be noble now? Now that King Huai has ascended the throne as His Majesty, the Crown Prince has become the legitimate Duke of the country!"

Qin Miaomiao cried and said: "What kind of prince? The Southwest Army came so bravely but only received news of defeat. But did the Xiliang Army say when they would come to Chang'an?"

There is a battle with Bei Mo in the northwest, but the Bei Mo army has entered half a step into Datang territory?

And Qian Yin had no choice but to help King Huai with the troops of Prince Wu because his brother imprisoned Qiao Ruoyun in a despicable manner! "

It seemed like a joke that King Huai proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an. Several of Mantang's Jiedushi envoys surrendered to him!

Luoyang is the real royal family of Datang, and King Huai is still unfairly named!

The maid said: "Girl, all you need to do is wait for your marriage. The day after tomorrow is your wedding! The Duke of Wu is deeply in love with you and is willing to marry you. You should be grateful!"

"Bah, if that day comes, I would rather die than marry someone who plots to usurp the throne and colludes with foreigners to harm the people of my country!"

Qin Miaomiao swept all the food on the ground.

Outside, Longxi Jiedushi Yue Zhan, who came to the Qin Mansion, heard what Qin Miaomiao said. Qin Shu could only apologize and said with a smile: "Yue Jiedushi is not angry."

Yue Zhan said: "It's just what my little daughter said. After she marries Zhou Siming, she won't think so."

Qin Shu said: "That's right, that's right. Envoy Yue Jiedushi, please have some tea."

Two days later.

The people of Chang'an still closed their doors and windows and did not go out. Bursts of joy came from the silent streets of Chang'an.

The street should have been full of people watching the lively performance of the sedan chair, but as people were running away and hiding, the street was deserted.

It’s especially shocking at this moment. It doesn’t sound like festive music, but more like bursts of sorrow and joy…

Today is Zhou Siming's wedding to Qin Miaomiao. Originally, due to the Queen Mother's mourning period, she was not supposed to marry during the national mourning period. However, the wedding date had already been set, and King Huai wanted to separate from the Luoyang court, so he married today.

The Qin Mansion was covered with red silk. In a small courtyard, Qiao Ruoyun listened to the sounds of joy coming from outside, but she couldn't feel the slightest bit happy for Qin Miaomiao.

In Qin Miaomiao's room, she lost her temper and drove away all the maids. She picked up a piece of red silk and hung it on the beam.

The red silk hung down. Qin Miaomiao walked up to the stool and hung herself on the red silk. After being hungry for several days, she could only commit suicide in this way!

But before she could go up, she heard a voice from outside: "It's not good, it's not good, the Northern Desert army retreated, and the Northern Desert King was captured alive by Anyuan Hou!"

Zhou Siming, who was walking to the door, heard this and frowned: "How is this possible? Aren't there so many soldiers and horses in the Northern Desert? It is very difficult to defend the city in the northwest, how can we retreat?!"

"Hui Shizi, because Xiliang has been captured by His Highness the Crown Prince, the King of Xiliang surrendered to His Highness the Crown Prince. Yunzhou's soldiers and horses not only captured Xiliang, but also joined forces with Xiliang's soldiers and horses to attack Beimo and The border of Xiliang.

Xiliang's soldiers and horses even occupied two cities in the Northern Desert. Because there is a vital river in the Northern Desert in the city, the soldiers and horses in the Northern Desert in the northwest could only withdraw their troops, but Anyuan Hou was hot on his heels. .

The King of Beimo scolded Datang for being a liar and a liar, which would only make the world laugh. He wants to confront Emperor Datang! "

Zhou Siming frowned deeply and said to Yue Zhan on the side: "Envoy Yue Jiedu is immediately leading troops to attack Luoyang. As long as Emperor Huilin and the emperor's grandson are dead, your majesty still has a chance to turn things around! "

But Yue Zhan pulled out a sword and placed it across Zhou Siming's head, "Really?"

Zhou Siming said to Yue Zhan: "What are you doing? You have already conspired with us to rebel. Do you think Lu Chen will let you go? Don't forget, Lin Mo next to Lu Chen wears it for you Cuckold!”

Yue Zhan said: "I am afraid of treason. I am acting with you on the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince. If I want to marry Princess Jinghua, I will do it openly."

Besides, don’t think that I don’t know that King Huai wants to get rid of me before he is firmly seated on the throne! "

Zhou Siming opened his eyes wide and Qin Shu said: "You, you are an actor!"

Qian Yin helped Qiao Ruoyun out from the side and said: "If we don't perform this play, how can we let those fools in Luoyang show their flaws, and how can we know whether the Jiedushi envoys from various places are colluding with King Huai!"

In Qin Miaomiao's house, there was the sound of a stool being pushed to the bottom.

Qiao Ruoyun went in one after another and saw Qin Miaomiao hanging on the red silk. Zhou Siming shouted sharply: "Miaomiao!"

Yue Zhan took out the dagger from his waist and threw it over. The dagger cut through the red silk and pierced into the wall.
