Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1935  The Series of Betrayal

Emperor Shi Wang laughed angrily when he saw his favorite son was being so hard headed like this. "Princess Luo is an important member of the Imperial Family. I don't think I need to tell you more to let you understand why I never let her out?" Emperor Shi Wang was angry.

"This prince is only following my cousin's request. Staying in the splace all the tcan be suffocating. Princess Luo wants to get out, so I help her out," Crown Prince Jin replied smoothly.

He had been arguing with his father a lot about this matter.

The fact that he wanted to marry Luo Qing Wei was not a secret, but his father never agreed to it for sreasons.

Marriage between cousins were not that uncommon in this era, so Crown Prince Jin thought that he just needed sconvincing. Anyway, if Luo Qing Wei agreed, his father will also agree and didn't care about this matter.

Emperor Shi Wang looked at his son in annoyance.

Knowing how much this son of his was trying to court Luo Qing Wei, he has been opening one eye and closing the other eye.

But it didn't mean that he wanted to let Crown Prince Jin get married with Luo Qing Wei.

"There are a lot of work that you have to do, so focus on it next," Emperor Shi Wang warned.

Work?

Crown Prince Jin thought about his other half imperial brothers who were already waiting for him to make mistakes and took over the power he was given to. Even if he was already selected as the Crown Prince, as long as he disappointed his father, it was possible to take this title back.

This made Crown Prince Jin annoyed.

He wanted to make more tto spend with Luo Qing Wei, but he didn't want to let go of his power that he had accumulated over the years. Since that was the case, he could only focus on his work for the tbeing.

"Yes, Father," Crown Prince Jin replied obediently.

Emperor Shi Wang nodded and looked at the man who had been waiting at the side. "Duke Lan is here to ask about his son."

"Your Highness." Duke Lan cupped his fist to greet Crown Prince Jin. He looked at the prince in front of him and hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Your Highness, did my son go with you to travel?"

Lan Zhi Wu.

Crown Prince Jin nodded and then replied, "Young Master Lan did cwith me."

"Could you please let him return?" Duke Lan asked in a low voice. Lan Zhi Wu is not his only son, but he cared for this son between him and his wife. Ever since he was young, Lan Zhi Wu was a very capable person.

Unfortunately, he was sickly and couldn't do many things.

Duke Lan tried to take care of this son of his deeply, but there was no one who could cure Lan Zhi Wu until Luo Qing Wei came.

He was thankful for Luo Qing Wei.

The sickly son that was previously couldn't do many things becvery energetic and slowly learned many things. Duke Lan was very happy and even talked about letting Lan Zhi Wu bechis successor.

Unfortunately, this young man refused.

Lan Zhi Wu felt that it was not necessary for him to be the successor when his half-brother was already cultivated to be the successor.

He could work for his own future by himself.

Duke Lan didn't pressure him.

But when he heard that this son chose to go with Luo Qing Wei and visited the frontline, he nearly fainted in shock. He knew that Lan Zhi Wu often helped Luo Qing Wei because he was thankful to her.

From tto time, Lan Zhi Wu would go to help Luo Qing Wei.

No one from Lan Family Residence didn't know his infatuation to Luo Qing Wei. But it was too much for him to go to the frontline.

For the past few years, he had been training his body, but it was impossible for him to becexceptional right away.

He was so stupid.

"I'm sorry." Crown Prince Jin looked at Duke Lan seriously and then reiterated what had happened.

…

Duke Lan didn't know how he managed to get out of the Imperial Palace and returned home.

Bang!

"Lan…what happened?" Duke Lan's wife looked at her husband worriedly. Seeing his pale expression, she guessed that something must have happened.

"There will be someone who will bring Lan Zhi Wu's body back," Duke Lan said, his voice trembling.

"No…" Duke Lan's wife clasped her mouth and tears streamed out. "Zhi Wu is…?"

"The entourage was attacked and Lan Zhi Wu is unfortunate," Duke Lan replied in a low voice.

How could he not know that Crown Prince Jin was hiding the truth of the matter? When Crown Prince Jin said that they were attacked and everyone was forced to fight, Lan Zhi Wu sacrificed himself to save Princess Luo.

Emperor Shi Wang expressed his condolences and will give scompensation.

Compensation?

Would any compensation be able to bring his bright and talented son back?

Can Crown Prince Jin say that he didn't purposely let these people cin the encirclement?

There are so many guards!

Duke Lan wanted to curse these two people loudly, but in the end, he couldn't do it.

He still has his family members behind him who had to rely to Shi Long Kingdom if they wanted to survive.

No matter how much his heart was hurting because of the death of his son, he couldn't show it on the surface.

"How…" Duke Lan's wife was crying.

Duke Lan looked at his wife and couldn't say anything. He looked in the distance and saw his other son was also looked in disbelief.

Unlike other half-brothers out there, Lan Zhi Wu and his half-brother had good relationship.

But no matter what they do, they couldn't change the fact.

Lan Zhi Wu is dead.
