Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Si Qiao sighed deeply.

She felt that everyone could never calm down and always think about adding drama to themselves. She hadn't been staying in the Capital City for a long time, so she didn't recognize many people.

But she knew very well that if there was something wrong, it would always start with asking the host to ask for a walk in the garden.

Nine out of ten, there will be something wrong.

And now.

"Ah!"

The women were looking at the two people in the middle of the garden, who was too busy with each other that they didn't realize there were a lot of people gathering around. Their faces blushed and some mother even wrapped their hands in front of their daughter's eyes to avoid sullying their daughter's eyes.

Empress Xiao looked at the scene in front of her, her heart was extremely calm but her face looked shocked.

"How bold! Who is it?" Empress Xiao asked, her tone was sharp. The two people were startled when they heard the sharp tone and turned their head. The moment they saw the woman's face, everyone gasped in surprise.

Because the person in front of them is Princess Hu.

But the man with her was naturally not Shangguan Yu, her husband. Rather, he was a relatively unknown face.

The women were staring with wide eyes.

This is a big scandal!

Nan Si Qiao looked around, trying to find the woman who suggested them to come here in the first place. She guessed that the reason why she asked everyone to come was in order to make sure none of them would be executed.

After all, there was no way the Imperial Family would let outsiders spread out their rumors. Anything like that would end up in execution.

No one would be stupid enough to provoke the dignity of the Imperial Family.

'Why does this scene seems familiar?'

Nan Si Qiao was thinking hard, but she couldn't really think of anything.

It was the other women who had been staying in the Capital City had weird expression. They seemed to recall that this was not the first time Princess Hu was caught red handed when she was doing something.

The last time, she was unmarried, so the Emperor handed her a marriage. Novel Fire - novelfire.net

But the news was naturally suppressed so that many people will not talk about it. Several years had passed and only those were present could still remember the incident but no longer talked much about it either.

After all, there were more interesting things to talk about.

But now that Princess Hu was repeating this again… they all looked at this princess with a strange expression.

Does the princess has… a strange hobby?

"This is…" Princess Hu looked at the crowd and felt cold. When she was invited to the banquet, she only felt that it was boring. Not to mention, her so called husband was not here, so she didn't care at all about her behavior.

When she was wandering around, she met with him and naturally came forward to have some fun. After all, not being able to get out of her residence for the past few weeks had made her rather frustrated.

But this is not what she wanted.

"I…"

"Your Highness, please dress yourself properly." Empress Xiao looked like she was enduring her anger and turned around to look at the other noble ladies. "My apologies, but let's return."

"Yes."

Everyone tacitly agreed.

This is the Imperial Family private matter, so they would not discuss in public. But no one said that they couldn't talk about it in private.

Tsk, tsk, what an interesting princess.

Princess Hu was stumped. She wanted to explain, but found that several maidservants had already stepped forward to bring her away. No matter what she did, she couldn't break away from these powerful maidservants.

…

Nan Si Qiao only found out why she felt it was strange after she returned. It was because Madam Lan kindly told her about the matter that happened a few years ago. At that time, Nan Si Qiao was away from the Capital City and only heard the news from gossips, so the impression was not big.

She shook her head lightly as she sat in the carriage. "The Imperial Family is really messy."

Thinking about Empress Xiao, who was acting perfectly and showed nothing on the surface but the same as others, Nan Si Qiao sighed deeply.

The person who could be selected as the Empress is naturally also quite powerful.

But then again, if she was not powerful, she wouldn't be able to hold onto the position of the Empress without any child. So far, the new prince and princess were all from the Imperial Concubines and none of them came from the Empress.

However, the Empress didn't seem to be disturbed in the slightest bit.

She was able to command the harem well.

And Princess Hu… seemed to have some conflict with someone to make her being schemed like this and Empress Xiao was willing to follow.

…

In the Imperial Palace, Empress Xiao was kneeling in front of Emperor Yang Zhou.

"Your Majesty, this consort apologized."

Emperor Yang Zhou had heard about what happened in the garden not long ago. Towards this half imperial sister of his, Emperor Yang Zhou didn't care too much.

But he didn't like her making troubles either. Because she was not only representing her husband's family but also the Imperial Family face.

He looked at Empress Xiao. "It's not your fault. You may go now."

Empress Xiao was silent for a few seconds before she slowly stood up and curtsied. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yang Zhou looked at the elegant woman and then turned to look at Princess Hu, who was being bound by the maidservants. His eyes flashed with coldness when he thought about this woman and also the fact that her husband is Shangguan Yu.

"Keep her in the prison. When Shangguan Yu returns, everything will be discussed."

"Mmph!"

No matter how much Princess Hu struggled, she was dragged away by the maidservants.

Emperor Yang Zhou only looked coldly and then went on his way.
