Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Hua looked at Princess Yue's relaxed expression and turned her eyes away. In the story, Princess Yue also killed herself but the venue was different. She fell from the city wall, unable to be rescued in time.

At that time, some people felt pity.

But with time passed, everyone soon forgot about this princess.

Princess Yue no longer had any father nor mother and the family she married into was about to be destroyed. She would be a widow even if she continued to life.

But in this life, Nan Hua didn't want to see her die again.

She had the option to live a better life.

As a widow and having contributed to the fall of Zhang Xu Kingdom, she should be rewarded and be able to live an easy for her entire life.

Nan Hua lowered her eyes.

This decision was actually half of her selfish decision but seeing Princess Yue smiled brightly, she felt that she could actually change many people's life to be better too.

…

<Not long distance away, Emperor Yang Zhou's location>

After separating from Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua, Emperor Yang Zhou headed to the place where Emperor Zhang Hou Tian lived.

Hearing the news of the city's fall, Emperor Zhang Hou Tian knew very well that he had lost. And it was also precisely because of this that he felt extremely unwilling and angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Fight back?

There was no power in his hand that he could use in order to face Emperor Yang Zhou.

With the few people left in the Imperial Palace, Emperor Zhang Hou Tian could only face this defeat unwillingly.

Would things have been different had he listened to the other ministers' words?

But he still felt indignant.

Tep!

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Emperor Zhang Hou Tian tried to fix his crooked sitting posture. But in the end, he gave up and simply looked up at his guest, Emperor Yang Zhou, sideways.

Emperor Yang Zhou's expression was indifferent but this made Emperor Zhang Hou Tian even angrier. He felt that what he wanted was being crushed by Emperor Yang Zhou so easily but there was nothing he could actually do.

It was so frustrating.

"Are you proud now?" Emperor Zhang Hou Tian asked coldly. "Now that you've overturned me and see me in this condition, are you so proud?"

Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Emperor Zhang Hou Tian in front of him. There was no expression on his indifferent face as if he was facing an unimportant person.

The two of them had been compared secretly from time to time.

But Emperor Yang Zhou's action made Emperor Zhang Hou Tian felt that he was not treated seriously, just like a joke. He was angry yet helpless at the same time.

In the end, Emperor Yang Zhou replied, "Yes I am and I'll be prouder when my generals conquered the entire land."

He didn't hide his ambition.

Emperor Zhang Hou Tian looked at the man who was not much different in age compared to him yet the difference was so large. In the end, he lowered his head and said nothing more.

There was nothing he could say anymore.

He could only accept this situation.

Everyone from the Imperial Family was executed and Emperor Zhang Hou Tian was not an exception. Emperor Yang Zhou was not interested in watching their corpses, so he asked them to clean up once everything was over.

Even though this looked cruel, but he didn't want to leave any possibility of these people coming back to him again. And the people he could use were limited, so why wasted it on these b*stard?

They could have more use.

Emperor Yang Zhou walked towards the main hall, the soldiers around him were busy cleaning up the palace.

Reaching the main hall, he saw Prime Minister Tan standing there with several other officials following him. He nodded. "You did good and I will reward you later."

Prime Minister Tan smiled and cupped his fist. "I'm only doing what I should do, Your Highness."

The other officials who followed him also flattered Emperor Yang Zhou with their words sincerely. Having been bought over by Fei Yang Kingdom, they had long tossed the matter of Zhang Xu Kingdom to their back.

Being able to be appreciated by Emperor Yang Zhou meant that at the very least, he was willing to use them.

But they also knew that Emperor Yang Zhou didn't want to be disturbed, so they tactfully walked away.

Many officials had been brought away by Emperor Yang Zhou.

If Emperor Zhang Hou Tian were to see this scene, he would definitely vomit blood. It was precisely these officials who suggested for him to replace Prime Minister Lei and handed the military power to someone else.

Tep. Tep. Tep.

Walking in the empty main hall, Emperor Yang Zhou's eyes landed on the throne. Slowly, he walked closer and finally sat down.

When he was young, he visited Zhang Xu Kingdom and had seen this throne. Back then, he only felt resentful towards the person who was sitting here because he had caused him not to be accepted by his mother.

But now, he felt strangely peaceful.

It didn't take long for another person to come.

Emperor Yang Zhou lifted his eyelids and saw Long Qian Xing standing a distance away and nodded.

Long Qian Xing smiled. "Your Majesty, are you going to change the Capital City?"

"Not yet."

This palace was bigger and grander than his own palace, but he didn't want to change the Capital City yet. When he finally conquered the entire land, it was the time when he would finally change the capital city.

Long Qian Xing saw Emperor Yang Zhou's consideration and proceeded with the report about what happened in the palace.

At the door, a historian recorder watched the scene in front of him. He slowly raised his brush and wrote on the bamboo scrolls he carried with him:

10th year of Emperor Yang Zhou's Reign, 5th Year after Emperor Yang Zhou's inauguration, and 3rd Year of total war state, in the beginning of Spring, Zhang Xu Kingdom is conquered by Fei Yang Kingdom.
