Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

But now that he was already an adult, he didn't have the same feelings as he used to be.

Prince Yang Lu walked towards the main hall and ate his dinner with Mu Fei Xin. From his tired expression, it was clear that there was something in his mind that made him come here in the first place.

"Your Highness," Hai Fa Xia called out. He had a polite smile.

"Mr. Hai." Prince Yang Lu nodded.

Hai Fa Xia was his mother's nephew. Even though Prince Yang Lu rarely met him, he knew that his mother cared for her nephew so much. However, he didn't exactly understand the reason why his mother would care for someone who was so much younger than him.

Hai Family was a large family.

Right now, Hai Fa Xia was the current head and naturally, it meant that his words were the most respected here. However, Prince Yang Lu didn't like the smile and the way this man showed to him.

It looked so fake.

And disgusting.

"Your Highness, please take some rest. There are some matters that we would like to discuss with you later."

Prince Yang Lu looked at Hai Fa Xia with narrowed eyes, but he didn't refuse. He beckoned for Mu Fei Xin to follow him as they headed to the inner chamber. It was impossible for him not to see the greed and also the disgusting gaze that Hai Fa Xia gave to him.

But should he kill his uncle?

If he really did that, it would be a complete fallout with Hai Family.

In the inner chamber, Prince Yang Lu took off his outer robe then sat down on the edge of the bed. He sighed and looked at his wife, who was also taking off her outer robe and then sat down beside him.

"Fei Xin."

"Your Highness?" Mu Fei Xin asked in soft voice. Her gentle nature and polite demeanor would always make people think of her as a soft and weak person. However, Prince Yang Lu knew better than anyone just how capable his little wife was.

The two of them were not actually of age yet, but because of their position, Mu Fei Xin had no other choice but to enter his residence. Since then, she had been living with him and tolerating his presence.

However, they never actually do anything further than staying beside each other.

"There will be some earth changing decision later. Will you stay by my side?" Prince Yang Lu asked, his eyes were looking deep into his wife's eyes.

Mu Fei Xin stared back at her husband as a smile formed at the corner of her lips. "If I didn't follow you, who should I follow, Your Highness?"

"Is that so?"

Prince Yang Lu knew that Mu Fei Xin didn't want to answer blatantly, but he didn't mind. He pulled her closer and hugged her as he laid down on the bed. "Get some rest. We might not be able to get any for the next day."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Staying within Prince Yang Lu's embrace, Mu Fei Xin's eyes stayed opened for some time. She really wanted to say what she hoped him to do. But at the same time, she knew that the decision didn't lie on her.

Whatever his decision be, she would follow him.

…

On the other hand, Nan Luo was spying on Feng Qian Kun. He was speechless when he saw how eager Feng Qian Kun was.

They only met each other after dinner.

"His Highness had an early dinner with Her Highness," Feng Ao Kuai informed when he saw the two of them on their way back to the quarter. "It has been more than two sichen* of time since then."

"Will there be any problem?" Nan Luo tilted his head.

"No."

At this time, Feng Ao Kuai highly doubted that he was related to Nan Luo. He glanced at Nan Hua and started to feel that the younger ones were the one who were smarter considering how the older brother ended up to be for both of them. Though, Nan Luo was actually still much better than Feng Ao Si.

Nan Hua glanced at her brother, who grinned.

"I know, I know, I'll rest as soon as possible." Nan Luo laughed dryly. "Do you think that it's possible for Mr. Feng to know something?"

Mr. Feng here referred to Feng Qian Kun. As Nan Luo was not exactly related to Feng Family, it was hard for him to call Feng Qian Kun as uncle. He ended up calling him with the word Mr. most of the time.

"No." Feng Ao Kuai glanced at the side where they could hear the sound of children's laughter.

"Why?"

"If he did, he wouldn't bring those two here." Feng Ao Kuai knew how much his uncle cared for his children despite being so self centered like that. After all, Feng Qian Kun wished for his children to follow in his footsteps and achieve greatness in their lives.

If he knew what would happen here, he would never bring his twin children to Kuai City. He would rather let them stay in Wind City where they would be safe.

Nan Luo was stunned. "Why don't you give him some clues?"

"We won't be here if he knew." Feng Ao Kuai needed Feng Qian Kun to come to Kuai City in order for them to be able to get involved. If they failed to have a decent excuse to come here, they would never be able to enter the city.

It was because of this, he didn't inform his uncle.

Nan Hua looked at Nan Luo before lowering her head. "He will know soon. He's not stupid."

"I see…."

Nan Luo heaved a sigh of relief. He then pointed to his quarter. When they were walking, they had eventually reached his quarter first. "In that case, I'll go get some rest."

"Ok."

Feng Ao Kuai watched as Nan Luo left. His eyes then moved slightly. "The night will be long."

"Indeed, it will be."
