FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Chapter 797: Result (2)

Thus, the information that Shangguan Mi could pass out was actually things that Shangguan Yu let her know. There was nothing that was actually very important that could endanger Fei Yang Kingdom.     

“I’ll find your father soon. I’m sure that if he cares for you, he’ll come forward when he hears the news of your execution in the afternoon.” Shangguan Yu waved his hand. “Take her away.”     

“Mmmph!”     

Shangguan Mi’s eyes widened in disbelief.     

How come she would be the one who was executed? Shouldn’t it be the entire Shangguan Family dragged with her when the matter was leaked out?     

What she didn’t know was that Shangguan Yu was already preparing for this matter for a long time.     

He would still be clean.     

While some people might be a bit suspicious of him, this matter didn’t have much effect on him. After all, it was only a ‘confused’ young girl in Shangguan Family who was acting on her own without informing others.     

And the Fei Yang Kingdom certainly wouldn’t want to lose a prince they had just obtained.     

After all, he was a ‘useful’ piece for some people.     

“Some people are indeed very arrogant and wanted to use me.” Shangguan Yu chuckled. His eyes were very cold. When these people stretched their claws toward him, he will not show any mercy and showed to them what it meant to provoke him for real.     

…     

The news of Shangguan Mi’s execution along with several other traitors was announced that day.     

Shangguan Yu watched the commotion from a VIP room while drinking tea calmly. In fact, he actually felt that the real culprit would not show up. Shangguan Mi was nothing more than a chess piece that was useful for a period of time.     

When she was no longer useful, she would be thrown out.     

But there was still a chance for them to appear, so Shangguan Yu chose to watch the commotion calmly.     

Knock! Knock!     

“Master, there’s a letter from Commander Shangguan.”     

“Give it to me.”     

Shangguan Yu and his father’s relationship was quite cold. It could be said that the two of them would talk when it was necessary and Shangguan Yu was happy enough as long as his father didn’t disturb his work here.     

Reading the content, Shangguan Yu snorted. He took a bamboo scroll and wrote to his father.     

‘If you like to stay at the frontline so much, you can stay there for more than a decade and protect Fei Yang Kingdom’s defense.’     

Whether his father would respond or not, Shangguan Yu didn’t care. Anyway, he didn’t want to pay any attention to his father during this time. He no longer cared about his relationship with his old man and would only retain the basic respect and responsibility of a son.     

Expecting more from him would be too excessive.     

Compared to his two cousins, his father’s ability was limited. Shangguan Yu knew this very well and didn’t have much expectation of his father. As long as he didn’t recklessly go forward, he would be able to live well at the frontline.         

He liked the feeling of not having to see his father so close to him.     

It was not like he needed him to be able to stand on this point at this period of time. Shangguan Yu basically built his own force while he was still a cripple that was unwanted by the world.     

They were not given by his father.     

It was not like his father had any remarkable force either.     

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”     

There was a scream at the front and some commotion. Shangguan Yu looked out the window and looked that there seemed to be some commotion in the back area where some other family members were staying.     

“What happened?”     

Not long afterwards, a servant came in and cupped his fist. “Replying to Master, a young lady from Qu Family suddenly fainted with blood all over her body. They still didn’t know who hurt her.”     

Qu Family?     

Shangguan Yu had no impression of this small family. He looked at the front and saw that it was Shangguan Mi’s turn. Shangguan Mi was looking at the front with eyes filled with resentment and when the blade came close, she closed her eyes.     

It was unknown whether death or living was better for her after living in that place for a long period of time.     

And Shangguan Yu clicked his tongue when he didn’t see anyone coming to save Shangguan Mi.     

“Keep her alive for now.” Shangguan Yu waved his hand. “As long as she misbehaves, there will be more leads to others.”     

“Yes, Master.”     

These spies were quite courageous to use the people who were part of the noble families so blatantly like that.     

And Shangguan Yu would deal with them slowly.     

The commotion died down not long afterwards and some people said that one of the Qu Family members had escaped while the others were executed.     

Shangguan Yu looked at the bloody platform and waved his hand.     

All that was left was some annoying report he had to submit in regard to his decision and purpose.     

The servant came forward and helped to bring him away from here. There was nothing else to see from here.     

He will make use of the information he has to strengthen his position.     

…     

Shangguan Mi shivered. When they brought her out, she thought that they would truly execute her and this would be her end.     

But when they finally brought her inside, she could take a breath.         

Not being able to speak anymore, Shangguan Mi leaned on the back and looked at the rotten ceiling of the prison. Her fingers were clenched into a fist. As long as she was given the chance, she wanted to get away from here and make her comeback. There was no way she would be willing to stay and die.     

It was not easy for a woman to live.     

And a person who had committed such a crime would definitely be watched heavily.     

Clank!     

The door opened and a servant pushed Shangguan Yu inside. Shangguan Yu looked at the unkempt Shangguan Mi inside and nodded his head lightly. “Contact them again when you work.”     

Shangguan Mi’s eyes widened as she looked at Shangguan Yu with disbelief. He actually wanted her to contact them?     

Shangguan Yu knew what this woman was thinking as he chuckled. “Don’t think that I’ll let you go. If I could report the one behind the scene, don’t you think that I’ll be able to gain more merit.”     

Hearing his answer, Shangguan Mi glared at Shangguan Yu. If only it was possible, she wished to kill him a thousand times over. This cruel man only wanted to make use of her for his own career.     

How despicable.     

Shangguan Yu didn’t know what Shangguan Mi was thinking but even if he knew, he would not care in the slightest bit. He looked at the woman in front of him. “I’ll be waiting. Whether you want to do it or not, can you hold yourself back?     

Leaving that sentence behind, Shangguan Yu waved his hand and the servant pushed him out of the prison.     

Shangguan Mi looked at Shangguan Yu’s departing back and felt chills all over her body.     

She felt that she was the one who awakened the devil in Shangguan Yu’s heart. There was no longer any gentle gentleman like he used to be but rather a devil who was very ruthless and capable of doing everything as long as he willed it.     

Her body felt cold.     

However, Shangguan Mi forced herself to calm down. No matter what, she would make sure that she would be able to survive and become the final winner in this ruthless battle. No matter how low her position had become, there will be a chance for her to survive in the future.     

…     

Shangguan Yu was pushed out of the prison.     

He didn’t know what Shangguan Mi was thinking, but he knew that whatever she thought would be useless. Being an ambitious person, there was no way that Shangguan Mi would be able to accept being mediocre and living in the red district for the rest of her life.     

In her position, what should she do to achieve greater heights?     

She will be tempted.     

All he needed to do was to wait for the time to come.     

…     

With the soldiers still guarding, it was technically impossible for the people inside to get out. Some servants tried their luck only to have them killed on the spot.     

As the soldiers showed no mercy, no one else dared to try their chance.         

If they were to be killed on the spot, they would have no one to cry to. They could only anxiously stay in their residence, waiting for the inevitable judgement that was about to be put on their head.     

It was a long night.     

And in one of the quarters, Nan Xin was looking at the soldiers outside with a bad expression. She thought that having her face disfigured and her reputation tarnished was already bad enough.     

Now she was facing an impending death sentence?     

Great, how worse can it be?
