Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 704: Uproar in the Palace <2>

Prince Yang Lu"s eyes narrowed.

He was very familiar with this smell because he had visited that place a few times…

*cough*

"It"s aphrodisiac. Don"t smell it." Prince Yang Lu raised his hand to close his nose. Inhaling too much of this substance would only make one feel dizzy and affect their judgement. It would definitely not be a good thing for them to lose their rationality in such a location.

Hearing that, the girls immediately raised their sleeves to close their nose.

Empress Dowager Yan"s eyes narrowed dangerously. She had been paying close attention to these ladies to make sure that no one tried anything funny. But to think that there was still something that happened in the end.

She wanted to laugh in anger.

"Open the door." Prince Yang Lu looked at the door at the side and instructed the servants to open it. The room beside this drawing room was filled with aphrodisiac smell and it was easy for them to guess that there must be something inside.

Princess Mu Fei Xin"s eyes widened. Before she could ask Prince Yang Lu to stop, the door was already flung open by the servant. They could hear the sound of rough breathing and also the figure of two people on the small bed inside the room.

Their expression changed.

"That"s…" Princess Mu Fei Xin wanted to say that it couldn"t be Nan Hua, right when she sensed Prince Yang Lu held her hand. She turned to look in his direction and saw that his gaze was looking at the trees at the courtyard.

It was then she noticed Nan Hua walking with Long Qian Xing beside her. By this time, Nan Hua had already changed her dress into a blue colored dress with waves" pattern. It was very beautiful.

Princess Mu Fei Xin blinked her eyes then smiled brightly. Her mouth was covered with her sleeve, so no one else saw it aside from Prince Yang Lu.

It seemed that as long as the person inside was not Nan Hua, Princess Mu Fei Xin could care less who was the person who had such rigorous exercise inside was. She simply waved her hand to instruct her servants to withdraw and leave this place.

Having them implicated would only make them dismissed in the end. It was better for them not to stay here.

Prince Yang Lu looked at his wife and chose not to interfere with her decision. He simply looked at the two figures inside the room and could faintly guess who they were.

Bang!

Empress Dowager Yan smashed the table beside her. She was really angry that there was someone who dared to do this under her supervision.

"Drag them out! And put out that whatever incense!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

The girls were all shivering when they heard Empress Dowager Yan"s harsh words. They knew for sure that whoever was inside was in for trouble.

After receiving the order, the servants didn"t dare to delay. They put out that incense and opened the window to disperse the disgusting smell. At the same time, two people were brought inside to pull the two people apart.

It was only now that they realized who these two were.

"Shangguan Yu?" one of the young ladies asked in a low voice.

"Princess Hu?"

Princess Mu Fei Xin blinked her eyes then turned to look at Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing. For some reasons, she felt that the one who put these two inside this drawing room must have been the two of them. How they did it was something of another matter, though.

Beside Princess Mu Fei Xin, Prince Yang Lu chuckled. "Even in this place filled with guards, it didn"t stop him at all."

As part of the Imperial Family, Prince Yang Lu was very clear that the Imperial Palace was filled with hidden guards. It was hard for one to scheme in this palace so blatantly. At most, they would use their words to twist the matter and put themselves in advantageous position while still acting in accordance to etiquette.

Killing without swords.

That was the method they used to do.

But Princess Hu was taking this to another step by trying to trop Nan Hua with the young master from Shangguan Family. Shangguan Family had just expressed that they would be leaving the Capital City.

Only Shangguan Yu and some other family members who had deep business root in the Capital City would stay. And Shangguan Yu had been someone many ladies in the Capital City wanted to steer away.

First, he was a concubine born son.

While a son was still much better than a daughter, the fact that he was of concubine born wouldn"t change. It was not exactly an honored status to have.

Secondly, he was crippled.

His legs couldn"t move and he had to use wheelchair all the time. These young noble ladies were all very proud and naturally wouldn"t want to be married with someone who was always sitting on his chair.

Thus, Shangguan Yu had been alone all this time.

Even though he was already of marriageable age, many girls rejected his advance. This year, he turned 20, so it was indeed the best age for him to search for his marriage partner.

And with this incident…

His marriage partner was basically decided.

Whether Princess Hu was happy to be matched with Shangguan Yu, who was also a crippled, was another matter altogether. Since they had been seen together like this, it was basically impossible for Princess Hu not to be together with Shangguan Yu.

"Princess Hu must have loved Shangguan Yu so much that she dragged him here."

No one knew who said that, but these girls all noticed that Shangguan Yu"s wheelchair was not around. It was impossible for Shangguan Yu to walk, so the only possibility was that he was carried here.

Their expression was somewhat indescribable right now.

Empress Dowager Yan took a deep breath. "Wake them up. Prince Yang Lu, I would like to trouble you to bring these ladies all back to the courtyard."

"Yes, Imperial Mother." Prince Yang Lu cupped his fist and looked at his wife. It was impossible for him to directly lead the ladies, so he would relegate this task to his little wife.
