Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1547 Shi Long Kingdom’s Side (2)

There were some upright people.

But majority of the people were selfish and simply didn't care. Since they had the power, why should they care for others unrelated to them?

No matter how loud the cries of those from the bottom, those people at the top would not care about them at all. They just wanted to enrich themselves, pocketing the money that should have been used to make the lives of these people better and instead make countless troubles for them.

Again and again.

Until the situation caused these people at the bottom suffered yet those at the top would not care in the slightest bit.

Showing appropriate kindness that barely cost them nothing for the sake of their support.

And when they got what they wanted, they simply abandoned the people, not caring about their needs and words in the slightest bit.

For these people, there was nothing they could do.

They were at the bottom, not having the channels nor power to do anything, so they could only swallow their grievances and lived their lives, trying their best not to care about these things.

"Has they retreated?" Kuang Sheng asked. In the midst of war, one of the most important factor was naturally supplies. But because of the movement of some annoying officials, there were times when it was lacking at the frontline.

Not to mention, the number of soldiers were decreasing due to some people buying these officials to not draft the men in their family to military. If it was because there were only children and those aged men, it was fine.

But if there were healthy men in the family?

It was the same was reducing the number of soldiers who could fight at the frontline and defend Shi Long Kingdom.

Now, Fei Yang Kingdom has been slowly gaining momentum and this was not a good thing for Shi Long Kingdom.

Technically, he was not from Shi Long Kingdom.

But Kuang Shen had now stayed in Shi Long Kingdom because of Luo Qing Wei and he naturally didn't want to see Shi Long Kingdom lose.

"Yes, the soldiers had ceded another city and moved to another frontline," the soldier replied.

"I see." Kuang Sheng sighed. He could only do his best to help from some sides. But if most of the people in power didn't care and only wanted to fill their pockets, then there was simply nothing that he could do.

He could only watch by the sides and do what he could to protect Luo Qing Wei.

As Kuang Sheng was thinking, he turned to look at Luo Qing Wei and noticed the man who stood not far from them. His eyes narrowed with dangerous glint.

'That Crown Prince is here again?'

Ever since Luo Qing Wei was approved by the Emperor and entered Empress Ye's house, the crown prince kept on paying a visit to Luo Qing Wei. Marriages between cousins were common in this time and the Crown Prince was naturally also interested in Luo Qing Wei.

He was trying his best to win over Luo Qing Wei.

Empress Ye was not the crown prince's mother. In fact, she didn't have any son and only one daughter, who was still quite young. The Crown Prince was from another Imperial Concubine whom the Emperor favored.

Due to this, Empress Ye would not help the Crown Prince nor dissuade him.

She just watched from the side.

"Your Highness," Luo Qing Wei greeted and curtsied in accordance to the etiquette. After staying in the Capital City for some time, she naturally learned the etiquette that was necessary for her.

"Princess Luo." The Crown Prince smiled brightly when he saw Luo Qing Wei. "Ben Wang heard that you made a new medicine that can be used widely and interested."

"It's a common prescription, Your Highness." Luo Qing Wei was a bit flustered, but she couldn't really refuse the Crown Prince so blatantly.

Living in this world for more than a decade had taught her that it was very important to keep the etiquette and respect for those of higher status. Because those who had higher status had the greatest deterrence towards them.

Even if they looked amicable, it was the truth that their entire life and death solely depend on their words and mood.

If they dared to offend someone of high stature, they would be killed.

No matter how naïve Luo Qing Wei was, she still could understand this much after staying in the Imperial Palace for some time. Kuang Sheng protected her to a certain degree, but she still had to see the outside world and had some contacts with these people from the Imperial Family.

"Crown Prince, I heard that your study is not done yet," Empress Ye reminded. It was still afternoon, which meant that the Crown Prince still had some study.

The Crown Prince's face faltered. "Imperial Mother, I'm only taking a short break."

Empress Ye hummed and didn't say anything else.

The Crown Prince was already an adult, but he still had to study some things. Because of this, the Crown Prince had to squeeze his time when he wanted to see Luo Qing Wei.

He was simply too busy.

Luo Qing Wei looked at the Crown Prince and felt troubled about how to refuse this prince.

The Crown Prince was naturally already married and had several concubines in his harem. He even had a child who was designed as his successor.

As a modern person, Luo Qing Wei would naturally not consider the Crown Prince to be her target for marriage. She couldn't accept sharing her man with other women. It just felt strange to share a person with others.

She had tactfully refused the Crown Prince.

But he still continued to pester her, making Luo Qing Wei didn't know how to answer him.

'Should I not stay in the Imperial Palace?'

Luo Qing Wei liked to stay in the Imperial Palace because there were many conveniences. But it was not like she had to stay here. If it was necessary, she could also stay outside.
