FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Empress Dowager Yue, formerly Imperial Concubine Yue or Princess Yue, walked among these women inconspicuously.

After the previous emperor passed away, she had started to reduce her presence among these women. With the war against Fei Yang Kingdom began to heat up, her presence would become a thorn in the eyes of many people, including the people in the Imperial Harem.

The princess from Wei Da Kingdom who was also married to the previous emperor had been disposed because she had no use anymore.

For many people, the lives of these respectful princess were actually worthless.

Unless they could give benefit, they would just be killed or tossed away somewhere where their lives and death would be unknown.

Princess Yue was from Fei Yang Kingdom.

She had stayed in Zhang Xu Kingdom for several years and managed to survive so far. But her position was relatively embarrassing.

Perhaps, the only reason why she was left alive was because they think she still had some worth.

But what kind of worth?

Princess Yue didn’t know.

“Your Highness, you’re back.” The maidservant who accompanied Princess Yue heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Princess Yue came back. Ever since they came to Zhang Xu Kingdom, they were always afraid that something would happen to Princess Yue when she met with the other women in the Imperial Harem.

Even though Princess Yue had been staying here for several years, she had no children. Yet, she was not sent to the temple and instead put inside the harem for some unknown reason.

This year, Princess Yue had turned 23 years old.

No longer young in terms of age for women in this era.

“There’s no need to be so worried.” Princess Yue smiled faintly. Her smile was comforting, yet it had long lost its beautiful cheerfulness she had in the past. Instead, it was replaced with bitterness and toughness through what she had experienced in this place.

Far away from home, there were only a few servants whom she could rely on. With her experience of surviving in the palace, she did her best so that she would be able to survive in this place.

It was not easy.

But she was still respected as the princess of Fei Yang Kingdom.

“How can this servant not worry?” the maidservant pouted. “Come and rest, Your Highness, it’s getting hotter lately. I will ask for more ice so you can cool down.”

Princess Yue nodded but didn’t really pay attention. Her status had dropped without the former Emperor’s presence. Though, she herself didn’t care that much because she still could live here.

Her demand right now was not much.

She still could live luxuriously even if the situation was more limited. Compared to many people who struggled on the street out there, she still felt that her situation was quite good.

The other maidservant helped Princess Yue to change her clothes. She could see the tiredness on Princess Yue’s face and felt distressed. In Zhang Xu Kingdom, Princess Yue’s status was not as good as when she was in Fei Yang Kingdom. This made the previously young and somewhat reckless young lady had to mature and stood at the forefront.

As the person who had accompanied Princess Yue for a long time, she felt distressed when she saw the changes in Princess Yue.

She had become more mature.I think you should take a look at

But the cost was not pleasant.

“Your Highness, this servant begs your pardon but this servant would like to ask something.”

Princess Yue opened her eyes and looked at the maidservant behind her. She showed a faint smile. “Just ask what you want to know.”

“Your Highness,” the maidservant paused for a moment. “Have you ever regret it?”

Regret?

Princess Yue didn’t immediately answer as her own life flashed in images before her eyes. She had lived as the princess who was respected ever since she was born. It was a life that was filled with luxury and allowed her to be conceited because even if she was born as a woman, she was better than many other women.

Yet, at the same time, this position brought her duty that she had to fulfill.

Princess Yue closed her eyes. “There are many things I regretted, but there are also things that I have accepted no matter how it will end.”

The maidservant looked at Princess Yue’s face blankly for a moment then lowered her eyes. She might understand or not fully understand, but she knew that there was no turning back.

Princess Yue opened her eyes and looked at the bronze mirror in front of her.

Sometimes, one’s path had been decided from the moment they were born. But what happened along the path would differ differently depending on their choices along the path.

Gong!

The gong sounded, signaling the end of the battle for the day. The soldiers from both sides retreated slowly but surely returning to their camp. The battle had been heating up, but they still followed this gong rules for their war.

After all, no one wanted to exhaust their entire army for a battle no one sure of victory yet.

Thunk!

“I’m so tired…” Nan Luo tossed his helmet into his tent, not caring where it landed. This damn helmet still felt uncomfortable to use, but he had no other choice but to use it because it was necessary.

“Young Master, don’t waste your helmet. Yours is still customized because of your height,” Xiao Yan reminded.

“Stop reminding me that I’m short.” Nan Luo’s face was dark.

“Luo.”

Nan Luo turned to the side and saw Feng Ao Kuai walking in his direction. Over the past few months, Feng Ao Kuai seemed to be injected with hormone as he grew taller by 10 centimeters, making Nan Luo exceptionally jealous.

Right now, he and Nan Hua were undoubtedly the shortest among them all.
