FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Chapter 709: Walking Out



Chapter 709: Walking Out

Nan Hua hummed lightly and walked towards Princess Mu Fei Xin. By this time, Princess Mu Fei Xin had basically settled the young ladies to stay on the courtyard while they were waiting for Empress Dowager Yan to finish settling Princess Hu.

Prince Yang Lu looked at Long Qian Xing and nodded lightly. "It will be a pleasure to work with you, Young Master Long."

"The pleasure is all mine, Your Highness." Long Qian Xing looked at Prince Yang Lu and chuckled lightly. "I hope that we can cooperate well."

"I will do what I can."

In truth, Long Qian Xing was not entirely sure that Emperor Yang Zhou's decision to involve Prince Yang Lu was a correct one. But seeing the prince in front of him, Long Qian Xing felt that the risk was worth to be taken.

Whether it would succeed or not, it would depend on how it would be executed later.

While the two of them had their very brief chat, Nan Hua walked towards Princess Mu Fei Xin.

"I'm glad to see you here." Princess Mu Fei Xin smiled when she saw Nan Hua was perfectly fine. "The palace has some internal strife. Staying here wouldn't be beneficial to you."

"I plan on going back. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Princess Mu Fei Xin chuckled lightly. "I didn't do anything."

Nan Hua nodded.

The two of them didn't really have anything they actually wanted to talk with each other. After all, they barely knew each other. Aside from the meeting back in Hai City back then, they hadn't interacted with each other again.

Today could be said to be their first time meeting after such a long time.

Even though so, they still kept the amiable relationship they had from that time. It might not be much, but it was more than enough to say that the two of them were not enemies towards the other party.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Nan Hua walked back to Long Qian Xing and bid farewell to Prince Yang Lu.

"I'll take you to the gate."

"Thank you, Brother Long."

Long Qian Xing sighed as he began to walk. He actually wanted to stay with Nan Hua for a longer period of time. But because of the incident in the palace, he felt that it would be better for Nan Hua to leave first.

They could meet at other time.

'I'll be leaving to the frontline in a few weeks, though.'

Because of the matter in the palace and the fact that his own soldiers had their first holiday after three or so years, Long Qian Xing would be staying in the Capital City for the time being. However, he definitely couldn't stay here for such a long time because there were many things to do at the frontline soon.

There was not as much time as he wanted to spend with his little fiancée.

As they walked, Long Qian Xing purposely slowed down slightly so that he would be able to spend more time. Even if it was just walking, he liked to stay with his fiancée and enjoyed this feeling.

"Hua'er, please pay another visit to Long Family Residence in a few days. I'll ask my grandmother to send you an invitation."

"Is there any specific event, Brother Long?" Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

Long Qian Xing thought hard as he really wanted an event to occur too. However, he really couldn't think of anything that could be used as reason for Nan Hua to pay a visit to Long Family Residence.

His grandmother's birthday was still a few more weeks. His own birthday was still quite long.

He definitely couldn't use that excuse.

"Grandmother missed you greatly."

Nan Hua was silent.

She had the feeling that Old Madam Long would always ask about her whereabouts no matter what happened. Looking at Long Qian Xing, who kept a straight face after saying something like that, Nan Hua agreed in a light voice.

"Okay, Brother Long."

Long Qian Xing smiled.

Nan Hua continued to walk while thinking about the Empress Selection. She didn't know much about this event since the information was mostly circulated for people inside the palace. It was not like she didn't have anyone inside but they were mostly low ranked servants.

"Brother Long, will His Majesty pick the Empress directly?" Nan Hua asked.

"He should be picking one soon, but it won't be announced right away." Long Qian Xing knew that Emperor Yang Zhou asked Empress Dowager Yan to come to him and discussed this matter before announcing it to the world. As for who they would pick, he didn't really care.

Nan Hua nodded.

They had reached the outer palace and the carriage was within sight. Looking at the carriage in the distance, Long Qian Xing felt a bit unwilling. He felt that the time he spent with Nan Hua was too short.

Much too short.

If only it was possible, he wanted to spend more time with Nan Hua.

"Hua'er, did you hear Princess Hu's words back then?" Long Qian Xing was reminded of something and looked at the little girl beside him. He had the feeling that his method of closing Nan Hua's ear was not too good back then.

Nan Hua's eyes flashed. She's a martial artist and Long Qian Xing's attempt to block the voice didn't exactly work that well. She could still hear what they were saying

"I hear it." Nan Hua was being honest.

Long Qian Xing silently cursed Princess Hu's seventh generation within his mind. He stopped and looked at the young girl in front of him. His dark eyes were swirling with thoughts that was forcibly suppressed.

His action caused Nan Hua to also stop. She looked at him in confusion as if wondering why he would suddenly stop. His gaze looked very solemn.

"Hua'er, the one and only person who will be beside me is you. I promise you that there will be no other person."
