Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1626 Smile

Old Madam Long talked about many things with Nan Hua. After more than two incense stick of time, Nan Hua asked to check Old Madam Long's pulses.

"You worry too much. I'm also a doctor and know my condition the best," Old Madam Long complained, but she still stretched her wrist to let Nan Hua checked.

Nan Hua checked Old Madam Long's pulse and nodded. Old Madam Long is fairly healthy, but it was because of her age that she had to pay caution to many things. Luckily, there was not much problem on her that needed to be addressed.

After that, Old Madam Long went back to rest.

Before she left, she told Nan Hua that when she was ready to come back, the marriage will be hold as fast as possible.

"My grandmother is already impatient." Long Qian Xing showed an apologetic smile to Nan Hua.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and hummed lightly. "It's alright."

Old Madam Long was no longer young and having to stay in this large residence all by her own, she must have felt lonely. What she wanted was nothing more than having young children to accompany her so that it would be more lively.

Long Qian Xing nodded and looked to the backyard. "Shall I escort you out?"

"It would be inconvenient." Nan Hua shook her head. She curtsied. "I have to go back for now, Brother Long. You can meet me in the palace for the time being."

"Yes, I'll come again." Long Qian Xing smiled.

Nan Hua turned around and lightly walked to the back. Her steps were very faint and didn't produce any sound whatsoever as if she was not there. Even those who were trained in martial arts might not be able to detect her.

Watching Nan Hua's back, Long Qian Xing had the faint feeling that it would be hard for Nan Hua to reach this steps with the high protection under Old Master Nan. With how much he loved his granddaughter, how could he be willing to put Nan Hua under rigorous and dangerous training?

That was would be ridiculous.

Even if Nan Hua were to request it, she would have to show necessary ability and qualification before she was allowed to participate in dangerous mission.

His little fiancée is really mysterious.

But Long Qian Xing would not pry deeper and instead waited until the time Nan Hua was ready to tell him.

He smiled wryly.

Long Qian Xing felt that he was truly planted and couldn't get away. He moved his gaze away and returned to his own quarter.

…

<Prince Yang Lu Residence>

Prince Yang Lu was the second prince.

But it was known to the outside world that the power he held in his hand was not big. The rebellions his family caused many years ago had already blocked his route from gaining power.

There was no way that a person who came from a family that wanted to rebel would be allowed to grow strong.

Prince Yang Lu knew that.

The other officials, ministers, and so on also knew.

But it didn't mean that there wouldn't be anyone who approached Prince Yang Lu with some intent to cause discord. Some people were still dissatisfied with Emperor Yang Zhou.

Not because of Emperor Yang Zhou was weak.

It was the opposite.

He was too strong, so strong that the officials were unable to use their chess piece and had to retreat to the rear. They were unable to do anything and this naturally made them feel relatively dissatisfied.

After the meeting with Emperor Yang Zhou, Prince Yang Lu spent some time to shake these tails.

"It's really tiring." Prince Yang Lu heaved a sigh when he saw his residence.

The place where he stayed was not far from the main palace where Emperor Yang Zhou stayed. But because of the distance and etiquette whatsoever, he still had to use carriage when he returned.

"Your Highness, we've arrived."

"Yes."

Prince Yang Lu put away all the expression on his face as he walked down.

He had long gotten used to the way of the Imperial Family. Despite already categorized as the 'idle prince' who would not be able to wield a lot of power, Emperor Yang Zhou still give them some tasks.

After coming back from the court, he sighed deeply.

Whether his half imperial brother trusted him or not, he actually didn't know for sure.

But he knew that since his half older brother still willing to use him, it meant that he had his own method to make sure that he would not betray the other party.

It was a bit vexing.

But by this time, he had already accepted it.

"Your Highness, you're back." Prince Yang Lu's wife, Mu Fei Xin, rushed forward when she heard of his return.

Mu Fei Xin knew that the Imperial Family was complicated, so she was worried that when her husband left, he would never be able to return.

Seeing him in one piece allowed her to put all of her worries down.

"I'm back." Prince Yang Lu nodded. His eyes landed on the bamboo scroll that Mu Fei Xin carried. This was the method of communication that was commonly used in this era, but it was rarely used.

After all, it was not very convenient and quite expensive to make for ordinary people.

For people like them, this little bit of money was nothing, though.

"Are there anything?"

"This is from my younger sister." Mu Fei Xin smiled brightly. "She's getting married soon and wants me to help her to arrange. Do you mind if I help her, Your Highness?"

Younger sister?

Prince Yang Lu faintly remembered that Mu Fei Xin seemed to have a younger sister, but he didn't really remember that person. After all, Mu Fei Jiu didn't come to his residence very often and only occasionally.

If Mu Fei Xin missed her family, she would instead go there to pay a visit to them.
