Inside Chang ‘an Taiji Palace. King Huai sat high up in the main hall. Below him were his newly conferred courtiers. Zhou Siming had been conferred the title of Duke of the Wu Kingdom, Qin Shu had also become the Duke of the Qin kingdom, and he also had the position of Grand Lieutenant. The rest were officials who had come from Luoyang, and some were officials who had stayed in Chang ‘an to surrender to King Huai. Zhou siming cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, there is new news from the northwest. Marquis an Yuan is seriously injured. I believe that Marquis an Yuan’s army will not be able to resist the northern desert army for long. Now is a good time to attack Luoyang.” If Luoyang was not attacked, then King Huai’s name would not be justified. However, King Huai said, “We can not rush this matter. The envoys from all over the world have not shown their loyalty to me yet. If we rush to Luoyang…” Zhou siming gritted his teeth and said, “King Huai, Li Lingling is dead. Now second uncle has come to Chang ‘an to follow you. “Sisi has no one to protect her in Luoyang. Who knows when she will be beheaded. We have to quickly attack Luoyang and save Sisi!” King Huai said, “No rush. Father has not shown his face for almost a month after being poisoned. If we rashly act now, we will only be one step short!” “Your Majesty, you promised me that after you ascend to the throne, you will save Sisi and make her your empress!”Zhou Siming said loudly. King Huai slapped the Dragon Throne angrily and said loudly, “Now, I Am Your Majesty. I have endured for so many years. How can you come and speak loudly in front of me!” Qin Shu repeatedly advised Zhou siming, “Siming, the wedding date between you and misty is imminent. It’s better not to anger your majesty.” Zhou Siming cared about the Qin family and could only endure it. That’s right, the southwest army had been defeated and Lu Chen’s fate was unknown. Now that the Empress Dowager was in mourning, she would probably not kill Sisi. Qin Zhu returned to the Qin manor and heard the servant girl report that Qin miaoming had not eaten anything for a day. Qin Zhu said, “They are all spoiling her. If she doesn’t eat, they will force her to eat. We can’t let her starve to death. At least she will have some use for the marriage alliance with Zhou Siming!” In Qin Miaomiao’s room, her eyes were filled with tears when she heard the servant girl’s words. “How did brother become such an unloyal and unfilial Beast!” The servant girl looked at Qin Miaomiao with extreme disdain. “Miss, why are you still pretending to be noble now? Now that King Huai has ascended to the throne and become his majesty, the Crown Prince has become the rightful Duke!” Qin Miaomiao teared up and said, “What Duke? The Southwest army came so valiantly, but it was all news of defeat. However, did the West Liang army say when they would be able to come to Chang ‘an? The northwest side was fighting with the northern desert, but the northern desert army had once again taken half a step into the territory of Great Tang? “Also, Qian Yin had no choice but to use the troops of King Wu’s mansion to help King Huai because his elder brother had shamelessly imprisoned Qiao Ruoyun!” It was like a joke for King Huai to establish himself as the emperor in Chang ‘an. How many of great Tang’s diplomatic envoys had submitted to him! Luoyang was the real great Tang royal family. King Huai’s name was still unjustified! The servant girl said, “Young Lady, you just need to get married properly. The Day After Tomorrow is the wedding date! The heir of the Martial Kingdom is deeply in love with you and is willing to marry you. You should be grateful!” “Ptui, if that day really comes, I would rather die than marry someone who plotted to usurp the throne and colluded with outsiders to harm the people of Great Tang!” Qin Miaomiao swept all the food on the ground. Outside, Yue Zhan, who had come to the Qin manor from Longxi, Heard Qin Miaomiao’s words. Qin Shu could only smile apologetically and say, “Please don’t be angry, envoy Yue.” Yue Zhan said, “It’s just the words of the youngest daughter. After she marries Zhou Siming, she won’t think that way.” Qin Shu said, “That’s right, that’s right. Minister Yue, please have some tea over here.” Two days later. The people of Chang ‘an still kept their doors and windows closed and did not go out. Waves of joyful music could be heard from the quiet Chang ‘an street. It was supposed to be full of people on the street to watch the bridal sedan, but because the people had fled, they hid and hid. There was no one on the street. At this juncture, it was especially shocking. It did not seem like festive music, but more like waves of mournful music.. Today was Zhou Siming’s wedding to Qin Miaomiao. Originally, due to the empress dowager’s mourning period, they should not have married during the national mourning period. However, the wedding date had already been set. Furthermore, King Huai intended to separate himself from the Luoyang imperial court, so he had married her today. The Qin residence was filled with red silk. In a small courtyard, Qiao Ruoyun listened to the joyous sounds coming from outside, but she could not feel the slightest bit of happiness for Qin Miaomiao. In Qin Miaomiao’s room, she threw a tantrum and chased away all the maids. She picked up a red silk and hung it on a beam. The red silk hung down and Qin Miaomiao walked onto a stool and hung herself on the red silk. After starving for a few days, she had no choice but to use this method to commit suicide! However, before she could go up, she heard a voice from outside saying, “Not good, not good. The Northern Desert Army has retreated. The Northern Desert King has been captured alive by an Yuanhou!” Zhou Siming, who had walked to the door, heard this and frowned, “How is that possible? Doesn’t the northern desert have so many soldiers and horses? It is very difficult for the northwest to defend the city. Why would they retreat? !” “Crown prince, because the crown prince has already taken down Xiliang, the king of Xiliang bowed to the crown prince. Not only did the troops of Yunzhou take down Xiliang, but they also joined forces with Xiliang’s troops to attack the border between the northern desert and Xiliang. Xiliang’s troops have even taken over two cities in the northern desert. Because the cities have the most important rivers in the northern desert, the troops of the northern desert in the northwest have to retreat one by one. However, marquis an Yuan has not given up. The king of the Northern Desert has scolded Datang for winning unjustly and lying. He will only make the world laugh at him. He wants to confront the emperor of Datang!” Zhou siming frowned deeply and said to yue zhan beside him, “Envoy Yue Jie, immediately lead your troops to attack Luoyang. As long as the Hui Lin Emperor and the Emperor’s great grandson are dead, His Majesty still has a chance to turn the tables!” However, Yue Zhan pulled out a sword and placed it across Zhou Siming’s head, “Is that so?” Zhou Siming said to Yue Zhan, “What are you doing? You’ve already conspired with us to rebel. Do you think Lu Chen will let you off? Don’t forget, Lin Mo by Lu Chen’s side has cuckolded you!” Yue Zhan said, “What do I have to be afraid of? I’m acting with you on the orders of 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 has yet to take his throne and is already thinking of getting rid of me!” Zhou Siming’s eyes widened and Qin Shu said, “You, you are acting!” Qian Yin helped Qiao Ruoyun out from the side and said, “If we don’t act, how will we let those fools in Luoyang give themselves away? How will we know if the envoys of the various regions are colluding with King Huai!” The sound of a stool hitting the ground could be heard from within Qin Miaomiao’s room. Qiao Ruoyun hurriedly went in. When she saw Qin Miaomiao hanging on the red silk, Zhou siming shouted sternly, “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.
