Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1548 Shi Long Kingdom’s Side (3)

The problem was that the Emperor might not agree to this.

Her status in the eyes of the Emperor was really high and he didn’t want to lose her. The abilities she had showed so far was the biggest chip she could present in front of the Emperor.

Luo Qing Wei was tangled now.

Beside her, Empress Ye was the person who had watched Luo Qing Wei for quite a long time when she was in the Imperial Palace. Naturally, she also knew about the crown prince’s thoughts and Luo Qing Wei’s preferences.

The Crown Prince liked Luo Qing Wei?

That was totally bulls***.

What he wanted was her ability and the power behind her that had been working silently in Shi Long Kingdom. If he could marry her, naturally the Crown Prince’s position would be unshakeable.

Right now, the other princes were silently eyeing his position.

Should the Crown Prince showed any sign of faltering, these people would step forward and pounce on him.

Empress Ye kept her relationship with these princes relatively good but not so close to either one of them. This was because she knew that siding with one of them would be dangerous for her.

If she wished to stay on her position comfortably, she just had to watch and only decide what she should do later.

Glancing at the tangled young girl beside her, Empress Ye sighed.

As a mother herself, she also didn’t wish for her daughter to be in trouble. What she wanted was for her daughter to live a comfortable life.

But how could it be possible?

As part of the Imperial Family, there would never be any good end for these women.

Empress Ye sighed. “My daughter should have finished her study by now. How about if we appreciate some tea together to see how much she had improved?”

“Yes, Imperial Mother.” Luo Qing Wei’s eyes lit up gratefully.

The Crown Prince wanted to follow them, but he knew that it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to follow them if they wanted to be with the princess. Even if he was annoyed, he could only excuse himself.

Luo Qing Wei heaved a sigh of relief when the crown prince left.

Empress Ye patted Luo Qing Wei’s shoulder to comfort the girl. As a woman, it was indeed not easy for them to live in this world.

Or one had to break.

Neither was good.

<Long distance away from them, Qi Xi Kingdom>

The other big kingdom aside from Fan Yi Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom was naturally Qi Xi Kingdom. With Fei Yang Kingdom conquered Wei Da Kingdom back then, they had directly bordered Qi Xi Kingdom at the north east.

It was not a good feeling to border Fei Yang Kingdom directly, especially when Fei Yang Kingdom was growing stronger and stronger.

Afterwards, Fei Yang Kingdom set their sight to Zhang Xu Kingdom, making the people in Qi Xi Kingdom heaved a sigh of relief. After the large war that happened several decades ago, Qi Xi Kingdom’s territory was really small.

So small that it could barely be called as a big kingdom.

But due to the reputation and past history, they were still considered as one of the six big kingdoms in this land.

Now that Zhang Xu Kingdom had fallen, the officials were feeling restless once again. They were worried that Fei Yang Kingdom would set their sight on them, forcing them to go on another war.

Their current condition was already tragic.

The people wouldn’t be able to stand it if they had to face another big war.

Many people will die and the number of soldiers that Qi Xi Kingdom could muster even after a long period of recuperation was not so large. They were definitely not the match of the large Fei Yang Kingdom.

“Your Majesty… shall we do something on the frontline?” one of the officials asked carefully on the morning court.

The frontline has been quite idle.

Well, not exactly idle as they had some skirmish with Fan Yi Kingdom. But when it was facing Fei Yang Kingdom, they had been relatively passive.

The other party didn’t attack; they also didn’t attack.

Thus, the border could be said to be really peaceful. So peaceful that it felt a bit unreal for them.

“Just leave it be.” Qi Xi Kingdom’s Emperor, Emperor Qi Kan Tian, waved his hand leisurely. He didn’t want to fight the other kingdoms for the sake of hegemony or whatsoever. With Qi Xi Kingdom had already lost so disastrously many years ago to the point that their territory was reduced so much, there was basically no hope for him to win.

Since that was the case, why should he bother with it.

“But…”

“If they attack, we will respond.” Emperor Qi Kan Tian leaned on the dragon seat unhurriedly. For him, if Fei Yang Kingdom showed no sign of attacking Qi Xi Kingdom, he would not make any move.

Besides, he had secretly made an agreement with Emperor Yang Zhou back then when he paid a visit to Fei Yang Kingdom secretly.

In this large war, he will act as the salted fish.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Continue with other matters.”

With Emperor Qi Kan Tian’s order, the officials could only proceed with the other matters they wanted to discuss with him. There were not many things that needed to be discussed and soon, the morning court was over.

Emperor Qi Kan Tian leisurely walked to the back pavilion and picked a relatively comfortable chair to lay down.

Basking under the sun like this felt so nice.

“Your Majesty, if you show this side of yours to the others, they will think that there’s a fake Emperor here.”

Emperor Qi Kan Tian let out a faint laugh and turned to look at the side where his senior sister, Qi Xue, was standing.

“Don’t worry, aside from you who will come here, no one else would dare to bother me.”
