Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 714: One

Chu Yue nodded. "Don't worry, I'll not put down my guard. They won't be able to do anything to Miss."         

    

"That's good."     

Xiao Yun finished cleaning up and then prepared some night snack for Nan Hua. She walked into Nan Hua's room after knocking and revealed her intention of sending the night snacks.     

When Xiao Yun entered, she saw her Miss sat beside the window. Her visage could only be partially seen because of the moonlight. It reflected her clear countenance and also the indifferent expression on her face. Her beautiful appearance was as clear as water, making one easily mistake her for a beautiful piece of jade.     

Looking at this unusual lighting, Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment. The light from the moon made Nan Hua looked like a beautiful jade statue and with her indifferent expression, one would think of her as an ice princess.     

It gave both beautiful yet cold picture.     

"Miss, we have cleaned the residence. There wouldn't be anyone who come to bother you while you're staying here." Xiao Yun put the snack beside Nan Hua.     

Nan Hua hummed lightly and still looked outside towards the wide sky in front of her. Her gaze revealed her coldness and indifference, but it looked so enchanting. "One."     

One?     

Xiao Yun blinked before understanding. "Yes, Miss."     

"Two tomorrow."     

Tomorrow?     

Hearing the word, Xiao Yun was stunned and understood that Nan Hua had decided that it was the right time. Even though Nan Hua didn't do much and looked like she had only minded her own matter, there were small tiny webs that she had weaved across the entire residence.     

In accordance to what she wanted, those pieces whom she wanted to fall wouldn't be able to stand anymore.     

One, Nan Xin.     

Two?     

At this time, Xiao Yun decided to stay silent and watched the show that Nan Hua had prepared. She stood at the side and simply watched as Nan Hua still sat on her position, looking towards the night sky above. No one knew what she was thinking from her cold and indifferent expression.     

The next day, there were two pieces of news that spread.     

First, His Majesty had selected the woman who will be married to be his Empress. She would be married to the Imperial Family in a few weeks after completing the necessary preparation. In fact, it was already being rushed because Emperor Yang Zhou wanted to have his inauguration as fast as possible.     

Thankfully, the preparation for his marriage had been started from a long time ago. It was only quickened now that they knew who the bride would be.     

"Xiao Family is really fortunate to be able to be selected as the Empress." Xiao Yun was the one leading the gossip this time. Now that Nan Hua was basically grounded, it would be even rarer for Nan Hua to come out of this quarter.     

Not that she liked to walk around before either.     

"Mhm."     

The one selected to be the Empress was precisely Xiao Qiang.     

Nan Hua had known that she would be selected because it was exactly the same as the original story. There might be some twist in the middle because there were things that didn't happen, but it still ended in the same result for her case.     

Mature, composed, and intelligent.         

    

These three words were used to describe Empress Xiao. Even though she might not have Emperor Yang Zhou's love, she would be able to sit firmly in her seat by his side without any of the concubines dared to disrespect her.     

"There's another piece of news, Miss." Mu Yan looked at Nan Hua. "Concubine Su is pregnant. Master is very happy and will throw celebration."     

"I see."     

With Nan Shu Cheng's immense care towards Concubine Su lately, it would be weirder if nothing happened. This piece of news regarding pregnancy came at the right time because it lifted up Nan Shu Cheng's mood after being down for countless times.     

Nan Hua walked to her table and took out a bamboo stick, writing a few letters on top of it. There was no change in her expression as she walked to the side door. Her eyes were looking at the trees.     

"Since he finally had something to celebrate on, I'll give him a gift."     

Swish!     

The bamboo stick was thrown and entered the bush before it was taken by a shadow and disappeared. Nan Hua still looked like she stood near the door without doing anything, staring at the courtyard in front of her.     

At this moment, Xiao Yun felt that Nan Hua might want to make others think she liked to daydream. So that when they were not paying attention, Nan Hua would be able to take chance to sneak the information she wanted to give to others.     

Very cunning.     

And traceless.     

Those people who were watching would never be able to guess that during the moments they were not paying that close attention, Nan Hua would be making her move. After all, it was impossible for them to watch her every second.     

"We'll stay here."     

"Yes, Miss."     

Since those women were planning on playing another drama during the dinner, Nan Hua would not bother to even attend it. As for her gift to Nan Shu Cheng, she was sure that he would love it.     

He would love it so much that he would end up dying with his happiness.     

…     

As Nan Hua had expected, the dinner was filled with gunpowder.     

Nan Shu Cheng called them all to celebrate it by throwing sumptuous dinner, but how could they were in the mood to eat at all?     

Nan Xin's face was so black because she was still worrying for her future. Her mother was not any better because she knew that her daughter would be in difficult situation. She was not really in the mood for having any dinner.     

Madam Qu had the darkest face but still had to force a smile. She wanted to tie Nan Shu Cheng by her side, but why did it ended up with him having a child with another woman?     

After so many years, he actually had another child?
