Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 464 Visiting Yi Shang Temple

This was actually not a secret because almost everyone in the Capital City knew about that. However, everyone tactfully never mentioned about this matter ever again because it involved some secret that was not suitable to be brought up.

One of the reasons why Nan Shu Cheng was so brazen against their mother back then was also because their mother had lost her family’s support.

Her entire family members were killed.

And the culprit was… Princess Hu’s maternal family.

Originally, Nan Luo was putting them on the list of the families he needed to be wary off because Princess Hu’s maternal family was quite influential. It was considered as one of the few big families that has many connection and talented individuals in terms of politic.

Unless Emperor Yang Zhou was crazy, he could not condemn the entire family so easily like what he did to Hai Family.

”Tu Family is too powerful, Hua’er. Don’t do anything to them, ok?” Nan Luo said slowly.

Tu Family didn’t stay in the Capital City but at another city quite a distance away. Nan Hua knew their location and could easily razed the entire area with Dark Moon Organization. But doing so would only cause the political state of Fei Yang Kingdom to be shaken so badly that it might be hard to recover.

If she wanted to, she would have to eliminate a few key figure who was responsible for her mother family’s death.

”I shall see about that.”

Nan Luo looked at his twin sister and felt helpless. Now that Nan Hua was staying in the Capital City, he knew that she would interact with those from Tu Family sooner or later. In other times, he would support Nan Hua.

But after knowing the political and military situation of Fei Yang Kingdom along with several other kingdoms, he knew that this was not the time for them to have dispute with each other. It was not the time to make a move yet.

If Nan Hua truly wanted it, she could start making a move in the future.

”How did you find out about that?” Feng Ao Si was more curious about something else. He only found out about the fact that Princess Hu was hostile towards them because his younger brother explained to him.

”Her reaction to Nan Xin is different.” Nan Hua was calm.

”Just from that?”

”Yes.”

Feng Ao Si’s face turned blank. He was sure that he would never be able to find out so easily if he was the one facing Princess Hu.

In truth, it was simpler because Nan Hua noticed how Princess Hu didn’t seem to care about Nan Xin that much. But when Princess Hu was mentioning her name, it sounded as if she wanted to kill her.

The problem was: Nan Hua had never met with Princess Hu prior to the victory banquet.

The princess was sickly and rarely came out of the palace while Nan Hua spent the past three years in Han Zhong City. Before that, she also rarely came out because she was nothing more than a little brat.

How could they meet?

Thus, Nan Hua knew that it must be related to her family, either Nan Family or her mother’s family. After seeing Princess Hu’s reaction to Nan Xin, she came to the conclusion that it was related to her mother’s family.

With some investigation that she asked Fei Mao to do, she managed to obtain the complete information. But just like what Nan Luo said, she couldn’t do anything to Tu Family yet unless she wanted to destroy Fei Yang Kingdom’s foundation and caused them to lose the next wars because of internal civil wars.

She had to wait.

”Come on, today is New Year and you want to discuss about such heavy matters?” Nan Luo clowned.

”How about eating?”

”I’m full!”

”Sparring?”

”Fine, let’s go!”

And their New Year’s celebration was filled with them sparring against each other and had a short dinner with each other. The reason why it was short was none other than Old Master Nan getting message from Old Master Shangguan and thus had to leave.

The next day, Nan Hua asked for permission to visit Yi Shang Temple.

Yi Shang Temple was located near the Capital City, so it wouldn’t take a long time for her to go there then went back once more.

”Hua’er, I’ll accompany you.” Nan Luo was excited for that.

Nan Hua looked at Nan Luo. “Shouldn’t you train for your first real deployment as 100 men commander, Luo?”

”That’s…”

”Don’t slack off.”

Nan Luo put on a long face. It was not like he wanted to slack, but he really wanted to know what Nan Hua was planning to do. There was nothing special that required her to visit Yi Shang Temple just the second day after New Year, right?

”I won’t take long. I’m only going to pray for a bit,” Nan Hua said reassuringly.

”Haha.”

Both Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai were staring at Nan Hua without much expression on their faces. But it was clear that the two of them didn’t believe that Nan Hua was heading to Yi Shang Temple to pray.

There must be something else she wanted to do.

Hou Liang knocked on the two brat’s forehead. “First Young Miss Shangguan will be heading to Yi Shang Temple today.”

Oh…

The two of them knew that there might be some deals between women that Nan Hua made. After looking at each other, the two of them turned back to their training. Feng Ao Si was already waiting for them on the training field.

Nan Hua didn’t elaborate anything and only instructed Xiao Yun to prepare for them to head to the temple. She carried some of her medical equipment and herbs that she had prepared to cure Shangguan Die.

”Miss, the journey might not be comfortable, so please use this.” Xiao Yun had prepared a blanket for Nan Hua.

Looking at the blanket, snacks, and many others, Nan Hua was silent. She was fine even without those, but in the eyes of others, she would need them.

Putting on an act as a pampered young lady was…difficult.
