Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

The night passed by quietly.

By the time it was morning, Nan Hua woke up early. She called Mu Yan, the maidservant whom she arranged to stay by her aunt. After all, she would need someone who knew martial arts to take care of her aunt during this special time.

“Mu Yan, you will stay by Aunt side.” Nan Hua looked at Mu Yan. “Next year, I’ll arrange for you to come with me.”

Next year?

Mu Yan’s eyes lit up.

She didn’t mind having to stay in Heng Xing City to take care of Nan Si Qiao because it was Nan Hua’s order. However, she personally would like to stay by Nan Hua’s side more. Now, it seemed that she only needed to wait for another year.

“Yes, Miss.”

Nan Hua nodded and then walked away. She had received report that Zhang Xu Kingdom was having some kind of internal strife, but Prime Minister Lei was still very active at the frontline. Without General Wei holding the line, there was no way that they would be able to survive.

But for the time being, the stalemate between the two armies were good.

Fei Yang Kingdom had a lot of things to do.

Feng Ao Kuai walked out and saw Nan Hua. “Nan, I’m going to the army. This time, I’ll be deployed to a city near San City. It’s a bit more to the front and if you have time do come to pay a visit.”

“Be careful and try not to do anything unnecessary.” Nan Hua thought about Feng Ao Kuai’s new recruit and knew that the next battle wouldn’t be easy for this cousin of hers. He had to be careful not to lose the battles.

“Don’t worry.” Feng Ao Kuai smiled. He turned to look at Feng Ao Si. “You too, don’t get yourself killed when you’re about to get married.”

“Mother said that she’ll arrange it for Spring next year.” Feng Ao Si was speechless when he heard his younger brother dissing him. “And I have to go to the army too… Mother will have to take care of it by herself.”

“Don’t worry about me! I’ll make sure that everything is satisfying for you.” Nan Si Qiao looked at her son and showed a kind smile.

Behind her, Sheng Qi Rou’s face turned red. Even though she had to prepare for her own marriage, she felt that she was really not ready. Ah, thankfully, there were still a few more months before it was time for the marriage.

Sheng Shan Lang rubbed his forehead. He was also called to the frontline and for some reason, he began to regret introducing Feng Ao Si to his sister. Looking at how excited this new mother in law was, he could only sigh.

“I’m going. Take care of the house and don’t hunt again, Qi Rou.”

“Brother, I’ll be careful.” Sheng Qi Rou pouted.

Sheng Shan Lang looked at his rebellious sister and finally gave up. There was no point in arguing with Sheng Qi Rou because he knew that he couldn’t win against her. Since she wanted to hunt, he will just let her be and allowed her to do whatever she wanted to do.

Feng Ao Si waved his hand. “I’ll be going now.”

Looking at his older brother, Feng Ao Kuai felt that it should be good if he didn’t have to take care of this giant baby again. However, looking at the arrangement that was made, he knew very well that the person who was arranged to be in the same areas with him was precisely his older brother.

Feng Ao Kuai looked at the sky and sighed.ραпdαs `n?ν?| сom

He felt that the army always made things difficult for him by arranging people who didn’t match him to work together.

Well, it was only for a few months.

So it shouldn’t be that bad….

After the last round of saying goodbye, everyone departed on their own. Only Nan Si Qiao with her maidservants and Sheng Si Rou were left. The two of them looked at each other and began to discuss the matter of the marriage between Feng Ao Si and Sheng Qi Rou.

They had to prepare everything to make sure that it will be perfect.

While the others were heading to the frontline, Nan Hua went on a slightly different route and headed towards Xia Mountain. It has been a while since she headed there and there were some things that she wanted to check.

…

<Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City, Imperial Palace>

During this period of time, Prime Minister Lan was staring at the letter that was handed to him and didn’t feel like opening it at all. He had read the content, but he felt that those other kingdoms only knew how to create trouble.

There were still four other kingdoms aside from Fei Yang Kingdom and it was really hard to maintain the superficial friendship on the surface with all of them.

How annoying.

“Prime Minister Lan, His Majesty is calling for you,” a eunuch called for the prime minister. 𝑜𝑽𝑳xt.𝒸𝗈𝕞

“I’ll be there.” Prime Minister Lan stood up.

He walked along the path towards the Emperor’s study room. Aside from the main hall, there was a separate room where Emperor Yang Zhou would do his work and spent most of his time.

After all, Emperor Yang Zhou didn’t have the hobby to stay in the main hall just to look at these annoying officials’ faces all day long.

“Reporting to His Majesty, Prime Minister Lan had arrived.”

“Let him in.”

“Yes!”

The guards made way and Prime Minister Lan walked inside. He could see several bamboo scrolls on Emperor Yang Zhou’s table and there was no one inside because they had been dismissed.

Emperor Yang Zhou raised his head and beckoned for Prime Minister Lan to come closer. “I heard that there’s a letter from Fan Yi Kingdom?”

Prime Minister Lan: “…” he wanted to curse whoever was reporting this to Emperor Yang Zhou without going through him.

Cupping his fist, Prime Minister Lan quickly replied, “Your Majesty, this subject had just checked the message. The Crown Prince of Fan Yi Kingdom, Prince Yan Ping, sent the letter to give his congratulations for our recent achievement.”
