Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 36 The Awakened Zhu Yuxiu
After having dinner at Uncle Ma's house, Hao Guangming came to the old house in the bamboo forest as quickly as possible.

Aimee Zhu was still in a coma, he was worried that Auntie Zhu would wake up and run back to Daming, so naturally he didn't dare to leave the old house for too long.

Otherwise, if Aimee Zhu traveled back to Daming, he would have no way to explain to Aimee Zhu if something happened.

Of course, he didn't forget to bring some food from home when he came.

Entering the main room of the old house and turning on the light, Hao Guangming heard a short scream, and a man with disheveled hair shrank into the corner like a frightened rabbit.

Shivering.

Hao Guangming's heart sank, and he took a closer look with vigilance, only to find that it was Aimee Zhu.

After closing the door of the main room, he looked at the west room (bedroom) again, seeing that Aimee Zhu was still asleep, so he put down his things and came in front of Aimee Zhu.

Aimee Zhu trembled even more when she heard someone approaching.

Hao Guangming noticed the blood on Aimee Zhu's body, and couldn't help frowning worriedly, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Li Zicheng has already breached the inner city?"

Apart from the fact that Li Zicheng had breached the inner city and entered the palace, Hao Guangming couldn't think of any other circumstances that would make Auntie Zhu, the princess of the Ming Dynasty, stained with blood and look seriously frightened.

At this time, there will be no one else staging a coup in the palace, right?
After asking, Hao Guangming was even more worried when she saw that Auntie Zhu was still shaking her head with her head buried, as if she hadn't heard the voice, and looked autistic.

He stretched out his hand to hold Aimee Zhu's icy wrist, and asked softly, "Tell me, what happened?"

Perhaps it was the warmth of Hao Guangming's palm that touched Aimee Zhu, and she finally raised her head.

Seeing Hao Guangming, tears filled his eyes, and then he threw himself into Hao Guangming's arms, crying loudly.

"Blame me... woohoo, it's all my fault, I killed them..."

Auntie Zhu wept uncontrollably.

Tears poured down and soon wet Hao Guangming's shoulders.

But she still didn't understand what happened.

Hao Guangming caressed Aimee Zhu's back and comforted her, while turning his head quickly.

'In the end what happened? '

He knew that it was not good to force Aimi Zhu to ask questions at this time, and he should calm her down first.

Otherwise, Auntie Zhu would be emotionally disturbed, and she would not be able to communicate.

Just like that, Hao Guangming felt his legs a little numb after comforting Auntie Zhu for more than ten minutes.

He simply tried to hug her up.

After her feet left the ground, Auntie Zhu became nervous again, but she trusted Hao Guangming and still buried her head on his shoulders.

Hao Guangming sent her to sit on the bed in the West Room, and said as gently as possible: "Be careful, your sister is still asleep, don't wake her up."

These words have great effect.

Perhaps because of her sense of responsibility as an older sister, Concubine Zhu finally made another move and turned to look at Concubine Zhu.

Then she took a deep breath, turned her head, and began to wipe away her tears.

Seeing this, Hao Guangming quickly handed over a pack of tissues.

Perhaps because of the appropriate situation, Auntie Zhu was self-taught, so she naturally wiped away her tears and snot with a tissue.

Hao Guangming went to pour another glass of boiled water and brought it over.

Auntie Zhu held the warm glass thermos, feeling the warmth spread from her hands to her whole body. Negative emotions such as panic, depression, and guilt were finally suppressed, and her heart was no longer so uncomfortable.

Thinking ability gradually returned to normal.

"I assassinated Li Zicheng."

As soon as Auntie Zhu spoke, Hao Guangming was shocked and said, "Li Zicheng is dead?!"

Auntie Zhu shook her head, "No, I failed... I was too naive to think, even with the help of the xenon lamp you gave me, I still failed to kill Li Zicheng, but caused the three of them to die tragically. Even sister Zhen'e was killed. Got it, woo..."

As she spoke, Auntie Zhu couldn't control herself again, and began to cry with her head down.

"Don't cry, don't cry."

Hao Guangming handed Aimi Zhu the tissue again, a little at a loss.

At this moment, he really didn't know how to protect Aimee Zhu.

He was even a little speechless in his heart - he had said before that assassinating Li Zicheng would not solve the crisis in the capital, so why did Auntie Zhu still take this step?

It's not an exaggeration to say that she asked for it for herself.

But Hao Guangming is not completely unable to understand Aimi Zhu's behavior.

Although he didn't know the whole thing yet, it seemed that the inner city of the capital was already in critical condition. Auntie Zhu probably couldn't bear to just leave Chongzhen, Queen Zhou and the others behind like this. Seeing the magic of the xenon lamp, she took the risk to assassinate Li Chuang.

"Drink some hot water to warm up your body first, and then I'll get you a basin of hot water to wash. You have a lot of blood on your body now, but it's very dirty."

Having said that, Hao Guangming went to boil water.

Although many farmers here in Wollongong have installed water heaters, Grandpa Hao Guangming did not have the habit of using such "high technology". Naturally, the old house did not have water heaters or bathrooms.

The kitchen outside has a wood-burning stove, two iron pots, a warming altar, a coal stove, and other utensils that are no longer seen in ordinary households.

In the afternoon, he got a large aluminum alloy wardrobe with a lock, temporarily stored all the treasures brought by Aimee Zhu, and spent the rest of the time cleaning the kitchen.

He felt that he might start a business here in the future.

Although gas stoves and various kitchen appliances will definitely be used in the future, this old kitchen needs to deal with it at present.

No, now it’s time to boil hot water.

The electric kettle he usually uses is too small, I don't know how many pots of water will be needed to be enough for Aimee Zhu, it is better to boil water faster than a big iron pot.

A pot of water boils quickly.

Hao Guangming first got a basin of warm water for Aimee Zhu to wash her face.

After washing her face, Aimee Zhu not only felt refreshed, but also refreshed.

She looked at Hao Guangming and said, "I want to go back and save sister Zhen'e."

This was the second time Hao Guangming heard this name, and he couldn't help asking, "Who is she?"

Aimee Zhu said: "Her name is Fei Zhen'e, she was originally a court lady by my mother's side, she was sent to my side only a few months ago.

When I went to assassinate King Chuang, I originally only planned to bring three warriors who dared to assassinate Chuang, but the prince said that I must bring a court lady, otherwise it would appear suspicious.

Sister Zhen'e said that her whole family was killed by the intruder, and that she had a sworn feud with the intruder, so she accompanied me to assassinate the intruder.

I failed, those three warriors... were killed on the spot, and sister Zhen'e was also captured.

I killed them..."

Aimee Zhu couldn't help crying again at the end, not too loudly, but the tears couldn't stop flowing.

Hao Guangming felt that the name Fei Zhen'e seemed to have been seen before.

So check online.

Sure enough, I found out the story of a court lady named "Fei Zhen'e" in the late Ming Dynasty.

Historically, this court lady was found by the invading army hiding in a well, so she pretended to be a court lady, and her identity was revealed later.

But Li Chuang felt that she had extraordinary conversation and elegant appearance, so he rewarded his brave general Luo Hu.

As a result, Fei Zhen'e stabbed Luo Hu to death with a hairpin while Luo Hu was drunk and fell asleep that night in the bridal chamber.

As for Fei Zhen'e's fate, although there is no historical data to clarify, she would not escape death if she wanted to kill Luo Hu.

After reading Fei Zhen'e's profile, Hao Guangming asked Aimee Zhu, "Under what circumstances did you come to my side?"

Auntie Zhu also realized the importance of this point, thought for a while and said, "When I assassinated King Chuang in the restaurant, I fell into a coma because the scene was too bloody and frightening..."

Speaking of this, Auntie Zhu's pale and pretty face was rosy, but she was ashamed.

It's ridiculous that a person who fainted from fright in such a scene actually wants to assassinate Chuang Wang Li Zicheng.

There was a self-deprecating smile on the corner of her mouth, and she was silent for a while before Aimee Zhu continued: "After waking up, I found that sister Zhen'e and I were tied up in a tent, and there should be people guarding them outside... I was too scared when I woke up, There was only one thought in my mind, that is to escape, so I came here without even bothering to say hello to Sister Zhen'e.

Until you came here, my mind was always in chaos..."

Having said this, Auntie Zhu stopped, with an even more guilty expression.

She really didn't know that she just left like that, and she didn't even figure out whether Fei Zhen'e was asleep, in a daze, or dead.

If it wasn't for the rationality in her mind and the fear in her heart, she would have wished to return to Daming immediately.

But she knew she couldn't be so rash.

Maybe there are intruders squatting over there.

If she hurried back and was caught again, she might not have such a good opportunity to come to Hao Guangming's side.
