Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

“Dismissed.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

As the hall became empty, Qi Kan Tian glanced at Qi Xue, who was standing at the side like a statue. “What do you think will happen with Fei Yang Kingdom in the future?”

In the Imperial Palace, Qi Xue’s status was far lower than Qi Kan Tian. She couldn’t act familiar with him like when they were on an outing. At that time, they would look more like senior sister and junior brother.

In front of others, Qi Xue had to follow the necessary protocol.

Qi Xue herself didn’t care that much.

She knew her status was low and even though she looked like she was being ‘favored’ by Qi Kan Tian, only she knew the real story on the back.

There were many things that she had to deal with just because she was a bit closer with Qi Kan Tian than other servants around.

Qi Xue looked at Qi Kan Tian and blinked her eyes. “This subject didn’t know much about politics, Your Majesty.”

Qi Kan Tian’s lips twitched. Whenever this senior sister of his was acting in accordance to her role, it was always when she was asked difficult question. There was no way this playful senior sister of his would want to act like this all the time.

Thankfully, she didn’t stay rigid all the time or Qi Kan Tian would feel bored.

“Fei Yang Kingdom’s improvement ever since that time is very large.” Qi Kan Tian sighed. “But I don’t think it’ll be that easy to defeat the other kingdoms.”

Qi Xue was noncommittal.

She was not very clear about the situation on the outside world and everything she knew was based on what Qi Kan Tian told her.

Others?

Sorry, she was not qualified to know and didn’t have the time to care.

There were a lot of things to do.

“Forget it. I’m more worried about my fifth senior brother.” Qi Kan Tian looked into the distance.

When his fifth senior brother came here, his appearance alone nearly caused war between Qi Xi Kingdom and Wei Da Kingdom. It was not easy to calm down the tension of the people who had seen Yu Zheng Xi coming.

Qi Kan Tian felt headache when he thought about that point.

His Master knew about Yu Zheng Xi’s background, but he didn’t think it was a big deal. Naturally, it was finally settled peacefully but Yu Zheng Xi was not allowed to come to Qi Xi Kingdom again in the future. Now that Wei Da Kingdom had fallen, Qi Kan Tian was somewhat worried about his fifth senior brother.

No matter what, he’s from Wei Da Kingdom.

Would he truly have no affection for this kingdom of his?

But Qi Kan Tian himself was not very clear about what had happened to his fifth senior brother, Yu Zheng Xi, that caused him to escape. Though, he knew the background of Yu Zheng Xi very clearly.

There was no way he wouldn’t know with his status as a prince back then and some other matters that needed to be done.

Not to mention, Yu Zheng Xi’s face alone had already given out the answer.

That was why Yu Zheng Xi didn’t like to show his face and would rather stay under the shadow where people couldn’t see him clearly.

Qi Xue blinked her eyes. “He’ll be fine.”

“I guess so. Since Fei Yang Kingdom had started their move, how about if we give them a little gift?” Qi Kan Tian smirked.

Seeing her junior brother’s smile, Qi Xue had a bad feeling, but she pressed her uneasiness within her heart. She knew very well that no matter how old this man in front of her be, he will always be a mischievous brat at heart just like when he was young back then.

<Shi Long Kingdom, Kuang Shen’s Location>

The news also spread to Shi Long Kingdom, the largest kingdom in this land.

With Fei Yang Kingdom defeating Wei Da Kingdom, it was not known whether they could still keep that title as having the largest land. However, it was also a fact that they had been expanding to the south.

That way, Shi Long Kingdom’s territory was still very large.

But their way of development and control over the people in their territory was different from Fei Yang Kingdom.

In the Capital City, there were several people who stayed there peacefully.

One of them was Kuang Shen.

After following Luo Qing Wei to Shi Long Kingdom’s Capital City, Kuang Shen had always stayed within the city. He started to expand his influence and also taking care of the troubles that came with his name as the ghost doctor.

This fame had earned him both benefit and troubles. There were many people who disliked ghost doctor but there were also many people who trusted him because of this name alone.

Receiving the report from his men, Kuang Shen frowned.𝑶𝗏𝗅xt.𝗰𝑶𝑀

“Wei Da Kingdom fall to Fei Yang Kingdom?”

“Yes, Young Master.”

Kuang Shen looked at the bamboo strip in his hand and then threw it to the side. He knew very well that Fei Yang Kingdom was growing stronger and stronger, but Shi Long Kingdom was not exactly in the right state to declare an all out war.

There were several riots at the south that hadn’t been handled well.

Not to mention, the politics were very turbulent.

Luo Qing Wei’s position hadn’t been stable and she had already reached 15 years of age, which meant that she was already of marriageable age.

These annoying suitors of hers had been lining up at the front door and Kuang Shen had trouble dealing with them.

Each and every one of them had high status in Shi Long Kingdom.

He couldn’t just step forward and offend them so blatantly. If he were to do that, it was most likely that he himself would be kicked out of Shi Long Kingdom’s Capital City and couldn’t even see Luo Qing Wei.

At this moment, Kuang Shen somewhat despised his poor background which made it hard for him to establish himself.
