Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1545 Fan Yi Kingdom’s Side (2)

They didn't dare to say anything. Those who knew Strategist Song even felt that Great General Ji's decision was reckless.

"Your Majesty, Great General Ji had keen eyesight. He should have his reason for picking his second disciple to be his successor instead of his first disciple," Prime Minister Zhu coaxed.

Emperor Fan Su glanced at this old minister and finally nodded.

The officials heaved a sigh of relief.

Internally, they hoped that Fei Yang Kingdom would stop their momentum and no longer headed towards the north. But if they dared to come here… Fan Yi Kingdom will definitely give them the 'warmest' greetings.

…

<Long distance away, Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City>

The news of Fei Yang Kingdom's victory didn't only spread to the north but also to the east. At this time, Shi Long Kingdom was not as calm as they were on the surface. Several battles at the border had already pushed their border back, causing dissatisfaction in many people's heart.

And when they heard that another kingdom fell, they naturally felt fear from the bottom of their heart.

No one wanted to lose.

Hearing that the long delicate balance was broken by Fei Yang Kingdom again and again, some people were trembling.

They didn't want such thing to happen to Shi Long Kingdom too.

"Tsk. What a coward." Shi Long Kingdom's Emperor, Emperor Shi Wang, looked at the report in his hand and snorted. "Shi Long Kingdom is the best kingdom and no one will be able to beat us."

This was the confidence that had been cultivated for so many years. From many decades ago, Shi Long Kingdom was the kingdom with the biggest territory. It was only recently that Fei Yang Kingdom began to catch up and by annexing two other kingdoms, their territory was already bigger than Shi Long Kingdom.

But for Emperor Shi Wang, this was still nothing much. Even if Fei Yang Kingdom's territory had grown bigger, how could they compare to Shi Long Kingdom which had always been the best?

Thus, he only felt that it was useless to worry so much.

He believed that if it was Shi Long Kingdom, they would be able to do the same as Fei Yang Kingdom.

Or even better!

"Tell them to start focusing on attacking Fei Yang Kingdom. If they fall, the territory that they had captured will naturally belong to us!" Emperor Shi Wang raised his hand and give his order haughtily.

The officials looked at each other and could only kowtowed and obeyed. At the same time, many of them also had such believe and would not accept other people's words that Shi Long Kingdom was not the best.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Repeating the same sentence, the officials began to move to do their work.

On the other hand, Emperor Shi Wang returned to the harem and spent more time to take care of his beauties. There were many of them who were really pretty and he wanted to enjoy his time with them.

The Empress looked at the Emperor who was busy with another Imperial Concubine and lightly walked away. She had been staying with this man for more than half of her life, so she had gotten used to this.

As she had gotten older, the Emperor no longer wished to look in her direction.

If not because she was given the highest seat beside him, he might not even pay a visit to her courtyard. It was because of this that she knew it would be useless to stop him. As long as she behaved herself, he would not give this seat to anyone else.

For her, that was enough.

Getting the respect of the servants and other concubines, she still could hold her head high. Even if they tried to disrespect her, they had to consider the Emperor's intention.

She was not the most favored.

But she was the one that caused less trouble for the Emperor.

Thus, this was the main reason why she was allowed to stay in this seat and still be respected.

"Has Princess Luo come?" Empress Ye asked, her tone was light and pleasant.

"Replying to your Majesty, Her Highness Princess Luo is in her palace." One of the maidservant bowed.

Empress Ye glanced and nodded. "Lead the way."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The procession walked through the complicated road of the Imperial Palaces. There were several princesses in the palace but most of them were already married away many years ago.

Those sisters of the Emperor were naturally matched with someone of suitable status. Each and every single one of them was for the sake of expanding the power of the Imperial Family.

And Princess Luo's mother was not an exception.

She was married away to Minister Luo, one of the good ministers in Shi Long Kingdom.

When Luo Qing Wei was born, she was said to be really weak and couldn't survive in the stuffy place of the Capital City. Because she's just a woman, her mother agreed to send her away to the village for the sake of recuperation.

It was only many years later that she was brought back.

But when she was back, she was no longer under the control of her mother because the Emperor himself appreciated her very much. He hoped she could use her capabilities for him in the war.

Thus Princess Luo Qing Wei's status was somewhat delicate.

Tep.

Empress Ye waved her hand, signaling for the maidservant to announce her presence.

"Empress Ye had arrived."

"Imperial Mother." Luo Qing Wei raised her head and smiled brightly. After staying in the Capital City for a period of time, she was formally 'adopted' into the Emperor's lineage and now could call Empress Ye as mother.

By now, no one could do things to her that she didn't agree with. If they dared to do that, they had to be prepared to be faced with the wrath of Emperor Shi Wang.

"Wei'er, how's your trip this time?" Empress Ye asked kindly.
