Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 708: Backfired Scheme <2>

Long Qian Xing felt that his opinion of Prince Yang Lu had raised a bit more once again. This prince didn't seem to be that bad after some interaction. Though, he still couldn't say that he trusted this prince that much.         

    

"Let's go and join the others."     

"Mhm."     

Nan Hua noticed the small gestures these people made but said nothing. It seemed that for some reasons, there were more and more people who were siding with her and tried to help her.     

Having others worry about her, even if they only did it because they felt indebted, still feel somewhat good.     

Those were the things that happened before.     

    

As the crowd walked away from the drawing room, they could hear shrill scream coming from behind them. There was no need for a genius for them to know that Princess Hu must be the one who screamed just now.     

Nan Hua was still following behind Long Qian Xing obediently. However, her martial arts allowed her caught some of the words that those people said even from a distance away.     

"What are you doing? Get away from me!" Princess Hu was currently feeling so much shame that she tried to bring herself away from Shangguan Yu. Her body was exposed and the pain she felt told her what had happened.     

Shangguan Yu looked hurt as he looked at Princess Hu. "Your Highness, how can you do that when you're the one who brought me here? I'm only here to pay a visit to my uncle when someone drag me here."     

After saying that, Shangguan Yu turned to look at Empress Dowager Yan. "Your Highness, please redress this matter. This humble subject is not lying! I come to the palace today in order to meet with my uncle. However, someone drag me out of nowhere and put me inside this room. Without my wheelchair, I can't possibly get away!"     

At this moment, Princess Hu's body turned cold. She ordered the servants to bring the wheelchair away in order to make sure that Shangguan Yu would not back away. Since he was a cripple, it would be easy to keep him inside this place by taking his wheelchair away.     

Now, this scheme backfired to her.     

Screaming on top of her lungs, Princess Hu tried to get out of this mess as much as possible.     

She had been scheming ever since she was young to delay her marriage as much as possible in order to pick the perfect partner. Now that she was actually matched with this crippled young master, how could she accept it?     

She didn't want a cripple to be her husband!     

"No! I don't want this! Imperial Mother, please listen to me, this is an accident. I'm not the one who bring him here and… and…"     

"Do you think that he can come by himself?" Empress Dowager Yan was looking at Princess Hu and felt that this princess was really stupid. There were a lot of guards who were tasked to guard every member of the Imperial Family. How could it be possible for others to catch her so easily and drag her here without her coming willingly.     

Unless all of those guards along with the hidden guards were incapacitated, it was highly impossible that she come here unwillingly.     

Hmm?     

Incapacitated?     

Now that Empress Dowager Yan thought about it again, she felt that there was indeed something strange. Studying the expression of the two youths in front of her, she felt that Princess Hu must have fallen for her own trap.     

Now that the people who brought Shangguan Yu here was her people, it would be harder for her to get out of this mess.     

"Your Highness, I know that I might not be the best partner. However, you can't possibly say that you're not willing just because you say another man's name when we're on the bed!" Shangguan Yu sounded aggrieved.     

Hearing that, Princess Hu's expression twisted. She looked at Shangguan Yu in complete anger. If only it was possible, she wanted to hack this young man to death.         

    

She had never found any perfect man, but there was indeed one that was close to one inside her mind.     

When she was under the effect of those medicines, she must have unknowingly said his name without realizing it herself. At that thought, Princess Hu's expression turned even ashen.     

"No…"     

…     

    

Nan Hua no longer paid any attention that much to the words Princess Hu and Shangguan Yu said. What she knew was that Empress Dowager Yan ended up giving them edict for them to get married to each other.     

With that, their fates were basically sealed.     

"Silly little girl, are you still worried?" Long Qian Xing saw the serious expression on Nan Hua's face and couldn't help but tease her. Even though he knew that her expression rarely changed, he felt that she looked a bit serious just now.     

"I'm not silly, Brother Long," Nan Hua tried to correct Long Qian Xing once more.     

"In my eyes, you're indeed a silly little girl." Long Qian Xing chuckled.     

Nan Hua: "…"     

Whatever made you happy.     

In the end, Nan Hua felt that it was useless to correct Long Qian Xing. She herself was not entirely sure what she did that caused him to think that she was a silly little girl.     

"First Young Miss Nan, Young Master Long," Prince Yang Lu walked towards them. He cupped his fist. "I believe that it has been quite a long day for you."     

Long Qian Xing wanted to roll his eyes, but he was still smiling politely on the surface. "Your Highness. Since there has such a big case in the Imperial Family, I believe it's better for me to bring my fiancée to the gate and allow her to rest."     

"That might be for the best." Prince Yang Lu could naturally guess the one who was behind that scene just now was the very young man in front of him. However, he had no intention of pursuing this matter.     

There was no point.     

"Before you leave, I think my wife would like to talk with you for a bit, First Young Miss Nan."
