Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

2059 Time and Experience had Changed Them

Drap! Drap! Drap!

The soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom had arrived in front of Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City.

The cowardly General Gao, who was finally choose to side with Fei Yang Kingdom in order to keep his life, was smiling flatteringly in front of Great General Long, Long Ao Ming. Those who looked at his current appearance wouldn't be able to connect him with the strong and powerful General Gao in the past.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In fact, their impression of him had fallen to the bottom.

Even though General Gao used to be powerful and had conquered many areas on the south of Shi Long Kingdom's side, by now, not many people still remembered his deeds. What they remembered was the story of how cowardly and how General Gao was so scared for his life.

In the end, this general even gave up to Fei Yang Kingdom directly.

Those who heard about his story definitely felt that he was so shameful. Those from Shi Long Kingdom even refused to acknowledge that there was a general named General Gao from their kingdom.

It was so shameful!

"Hua'er, have you asked the person inside to make a move?" Long Qian Xing couldn't bear to look at General Gao directly. This General Gao was so cowardly that none of them have good impression of him.

But since he had given up and choose to side with Fei Yang Kingdom, they chose to leave him be.

Out of sight, out of mind.

After this battle, it was estimated that General Gao would be keep alive but wouldn't have much power. Though, General Gao definitely wouldn't care about it as long as he could keep his life.

This general is really... peculiar.

And Long Qian Xing wanted to sigh deeply. He even wondered how this general managed to become a general in the first place with such a world view that only kept himself alive as the highest.

His men even willing to follow such a general.

Long Qian Xing didn't want to talk about it anymore and chose to talk with Nan Hua. At the very least, he didn't have to think about these things when he was talking with Nan Hua.

"Yes." Nan Hua nodded.

The signal has been lit and it meant that Wan Xiong had made his move. At the same time, it meant that their promises has been fulfilled.

How Wan Xiong wanted to go on his life next was up to him.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

There were a lot of separation in one's life.

She seemed to realize it deeper now. How short was the time she has with these people as they would pick their own path in the future.

And the one who would continue to walk side by side with her for the rest of her life...

Is only one person.

But it's enough.

One person to fill her heart and warmed it.

<Not long distance away, Outside Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City, Empress Ye's

location>

Empress Ye continued to follow the woman who pretended to be her maidservant. Looking at the route outside the Imperial Palace, Empress Ye felt a bit of loss, yet her steps continued to follow the woman in front of her.

How long has it been since the last time she walked out of the Imperial Palace?

Emperor Shi Wang didn't like Empress Ye coming out of the Imperial Palace, so it was rare for her to go out. Her life has been confined in that glamorous palace, unable to walk out of that place in the slightest bit.

It was suffocating.

No one was truly on her side and she could only showed a faint smile on her face as if everything was fine.

But it has never been fine.

Now, she was finally able to get out of the confined palace.

See the bigger world and the wonderful world outside.

It's really... beautiful.

Empress Ye looked at the door that had been opened and walked out of the woman. They continued to walk towards the forest and there was already a carriage prepared there.

"Wan Xiong said that you will need it, Your Highness," the woman, Lan Fei Lin, said and then waited at the side.

"You don't have to call me that way anymore." Empress Ye shook her head. Outside the palace, she wouldn't be the Empress anymore. And Empress Ye honestly had long longed for a live outside, one without being confined by the glamorous palace where she had to keep up her pretense all the time.

It was hard.

Lan Fei Lin only nodded but didn't say anything. She was not really Empress Ye's maidservant and only assumed this identity because this was the only way she could enter Imperial Palace and got close to Empress Ye.

She would not follow Empress Ye's order.

Empress Ye saw Lan Fei Lin's movement but didn't say anything. She knew that this woman was by no means her subordinate nor could she be ordered by her. Even if she had been on the high position for a long time, but Empress Ye was very clear that none of these truly belonged to her. Emperor Shi Wang only handed the power of the harem to her in order to make sure that the palace was controlled and to make sure none of the women made trouble.

She was nothing more than a pawn.

From the very beginning, these things have never belonged to her.

Тер.

Wan Xiong arrived not long afterwards. He looked at Empress Ye, who had grown much older during the years he was away. He lowered his head and then said, "I'm sorry, I was late."

Empress Ye looked at Wan Xiong back.

The brother whom she used to play with no longer showed any trace of immaturity. Instead, he had grown up to become man who could kill people without showing any trace of emotion.

Time and experience had changed them.

But it would never be able to erase their blood connections.
