Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1619 Imperial Family Scandal

Nan Hua turned to look at Long Qian Xing.

Long Qian Xing was also familiar with Shangguan Yu's voice because he had interacted with the other party a few times in the past. Even though the interaction was not very pleasant, but it was thanks to that he could remember Shangguan Yu's voice.

The timing of Princess Hu and that wild man's adventure was truly not good.

They had to bump their little adventure.

But at the same time, Long Qian Xing could guess that one of the guests that Emperor Yang Zhou planned to meet today should be Shangguan Yu. Because Princess Hu was not allowed to come out by her husband unless it was under the order of the Emperor.

"Do you want to meddle?" Long Qian Xing lowered his head and whispered to Nan Hua's ears.

Nan Hua felt her ear ticked a bit with the distance of Long Qian Xing's face to her. She blinked her eyes and shook her head. "No need."

Shangguan Yu was not stupid.

For him to allow his wife to meet with other people like this, he should have his own reason and plan.

Nan Hua had no intention of meddling into the business of other people, especially when they were very unrelated to her. Though, she knew that her grandfather had good relationship with the deceased Old Master Shangguan.

Long Qian Xing nodded and continued to walk. As they reached the intersection, he glanced to the side and could see the few servants who were following Princess Hu. They were standing in front of that empty palace.

He pursed his lips.

That Shangguan Yu was allowing such a green grassland on top of his head and even ordered his servants to follow her.

He didn't understand what Shangguan Yu actually wanted to do.

"Let's go." Long Qian Xing reached out to hold Nan Hua's hand and pulled her away. Those who see the Imperial Family scandal could be eliminated unless it happened in front of the crowd.

While Long Qian Xing was of high position, he didn't want to challenge Emperor Yang Zhou's patience and forbearance of him.

He might be talented, but there were also many other talented people.

He was not indispensable for the entire Fei Yang Kingdom.

"Um."

Nan Hua could guess what Long Qian Xing was thinking and followed him obediently, erasing her presence easily. She also understood the hidden rules about the Imperial Family matters.

Things that was bad about them were not allowed to spread out.

Those who were unlucky enough to see their jokes would usually be killed one way or another.

Unless they were the one who spread the matter out by themselves.

If that was the case, then they were ready to let the matter spread. But if that was not the case, those who knew would die. This might even include those of high ranked nobles.

This was their method to silence people.

The law in this era was violent.

The most precious and also the most worthless was human's life.

Both Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua tacitly agreed not to speak about this matter when they looked at each other. They didn't want to be involved in the schemes and plan that these people were thinking of doing.

It would be better for them to remain in the dark until these people were willing to talk about it themselves.

"The carriage of Long Family is over there. Would you go inside?" Long Qian Xing asked.

Nan Hua shook her head. "I'll follow with an ordinary carriage and slipped inside."

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. "I'll relax the guards a bit."

"No need."

With her skills, what was sneaking into a mere residence? It was something that she could do very easily. Even if Long Family Residence was heavily protected, there were still some loopholes that she could exploit.

Hearing her words, Long Qian Xing's lips curled up to form a faint smile. "Okay."

He believed her.

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and showed a faint smile, curtsied, then walked to another route.

Long Qian Xing watched Nan Hua's back and silently retracted his gaze. It was time for him to go back and meet his grandmother.

…

<Not long distance away, Imperial Palace Main hall>

In the main hall, Emperor Yang Zhou was talking with several people one by one. When they were called, they would enter and after it was over, they would go out to do what they were tasked to do.

Right now, there were two people who were waiting outside.

Two people who didn't really have good relationship with each other.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Second Imperial Brother in Law," Shangguan Yu greeted carefully.

The person in front of him was Prince Yang Lu, Emperor Yang Zhou's half Imperial brother, who was still alive as of now. However, he was barely doing any work in the Imperial Family and instead live rather leisurely.

In fact, Shangguan Yu himself was partially the same. He only did a few things on the back but didn't dare to make any big moves.

The two of them were still part of the Imperial Family with the title of 'princes.'

If they dared to take part in the important decision making, it was not impossible for them to be removed in advance because Emperor Yang Zhou felt threatened by their presence.

Thus, they didn't dare to do anything recklessly.

"It's been a while, Imperial Brother in law." Prince Yang Lu nodded at Shangguan Yu. His eyes landed on Shangguan Yu's wheelchair that the latter still used with a thoughtful expression.

Shangguan Yu showed a polite and appropriate smile. He knew very well that being on the wheelchair made a lot of people looked down on him. This also gave him chances to see through behind many people's real masks.

But Prince Yang Lu was a tough nut to crack. He would not show his weakness to anyone, no matter how harmless they looked like.
