Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower-Chapter 1281 I Know

Shangguan Mi straightened her back as she walked out of this private room. She would never give up and showed to those b*stard how wrong they were to treat her like this.

'Don't you always look down on women, Shangguan Yu? I'll you how weak you men were under my, a woman's, charm!'

Klep!

…

<Shangguan Yu Residence>

After warning Shangguan Mi, Shangguan Yu headed home. The servants were bowing when they saw him and no one dared to do anything out of the line when they were facing Shangguan Yu.

It was as if they were afraid that they would be killed once they made one wrong move.

"Your Highness, Princess Hu comes to inquire about you."

All these times, Princess Hu was still under house arrest. Except for some important times when she had to come out, Shangguan Yu basically didn't let Princess Hu wandered around at all in his residence.

"What did she want to know?" Shangguan Yu's tone was cold.

The servant was actually afraid, but he was under Princess Hu's order to come forward and asked. If not because the two masters in the house were people he couldn't offend in his life, he didn't want to take this order at all.

"Her Highness wishes to know whether His Highness is alright because there's a commotion outside."

Asking whether he was fine or not?

Only a ghost would believe her.

Shangguan Yu sneered. "Her Highness had no need to worry so much. Ben Wang is fine and didn't need her attention."

After saying that, Shangguan Yu waved his hand and the servant pushed him away.

The servant was stunned and felt highly troubled. He knew very well that the relationship between the two of them were really bad. Because of some clashes in the first year of their marriage, the two of them now didn't even want to look at each other's face.

Even if the rule of Fei Yang Kingdom said that husband and wife had to share the same room at certain date in the month, neither of the two cared. They hadn't even seen the other party's face for months.

After struggling for a bit, the servant finally sighed and walked towards Princess Hu's Quarter.

No matter what, he still had to finish his job.

As for whether he could stay alive after that… that was another question altogether. But he should be able to survive as long as he took care of his words.

While the servant delivered the news, Shangguan Yu was pushed to his study room. The servant bowed and left while Shangguan Yu took out a bottle of medicine in his hand. The expression in his face was cold.

"If they thought that they can control me with only this, they're wrong."

Shangguan Yu sneered and knocked the table rhythmically.

Swish!

A black clothed man appeared in front of Shangguan Yu and knelt down. "Your Highness, would you like us to remove those rats?"

"There's no need." Shangguan Yu put the bottle on the table. "I still haven't had my fun playing with them."

The black clothed man said nothing and waited for his instruction.

"Don't interfere with the Imperial Family's investigation about this matter. Those dumb officials had to wake up and not be swayed by the empty sweet promise of a stupid woman."

"Yes, Your Highness."

…

<Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City, Inside the Imperial Palace, The Emperor's Study Room>

After the short morning court, Emperor Yang Zhou was not that calm. Even though he had already given his order, he was still annoyed because he still didn't manage to figure out much from the assassin.

There was possibility that someone was trying to frame Crown Prince Ping from Fan Yi Kingdom.

But what about it?

What they knew was that the entourage came from Crown Prince Ping from Fan Yi Kingdom, so the assassin had to be from him too. Thus, the people in Fei Yang Kingdom would definitely condemn that crown prince.

As Emperor Yang Zhou mulled behind his desk in a bad mood, the servant announced the arrival of Empress Xiao Qiang.

"Your Majesty," Empress Xiao Qiang called out softly. Her tone was clearly being careful so that she would not act out of the line.

"Please come in." Emperor Yang Zhou beckoned for Empress Xiao Qiang to come in. His eyes landed on the bowl of chicken soup and the tea that Empress Xiao Qiang brought with her on a tray.

"Your Majesty, this one heard that Your Majesty is upset, so this one prepared a bowl of chicken soup and tea to warm Your Majesty's body." Empress Xiao Qiang stepped forward and presented what she brought with her.

"There are only some people who didn't know what's good for them in front of Zhen." Emperor Yang Zhou waved his hand.

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. It's not worth it to be angry for them." Empress Xiao Qiang put the tray on the table.

Emperor Yang Zhou took the bowl and drank the soup quietly. He finished it quickly and then nodded at his Empress.

"I know."

"Would you like to listen this one's song? This consort had been learning a new song recently."

"Zhen thinks it will be pleasant." Emperor Yang Zhou agreed calmly.

With that, the Emperor and Empress spent the rest of the morning in the study until Emperor Yang Zhou was called for another matter.

Empress Xiao Qiang tacitly excused herself and didn't try to listen to them. She walked out of the study room and walked on the corridor heading towards her own palace. Looking at the servants who bowed down, she didn't pay attention to them.

In the face of the Imperial Family, the servants didn't dare to show their disrespect in the slightest bit. It was because they knew that those who had real power could kill them easily without any repercussion.

At this time a servant walked in Empress Xiao Qiang's direction and whispered a few words. "Master said that…."

Empress Xiao Qiang's expression didn't change until the servant walked away even after listening to those instructions.
