Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 1439

Chapter 1439 Zhang Xu Kingdom’s Internal Situation

"Prepare more pastries that she liked," Si Bai gave order as he walked down the stairs. "Oh wait, let me pick it myself. You wouldn't know what she liked."

The servant looked at Si Bai expressionlessly. For some reason, he had the feeling that he was back to the days when Si Mo Fan married Yan Xi. At that time, he had been a complete love brain and was trying his best to satisfy all Yan Xi's wishes.

It was to the point that Leader Ji, Ji Han Yu, wished to beat up Si Mo Fan so badly if not he couldn't defeat the other party.

Who would have thought that his son would behave similarly?

Like father like son.

The servant sighed and simply watched as Si Bai happily picked the pastries. In any case, with Si Bai managed to find a partner here and also happy together, their appearance no longer startled anyone. Slowly but surely, they blended into Zhang Xu Kingdom.

…

<Zhang Xu Kingdom's Capital City, Imperial Palace's Harem>

The Imperial Palace was beautiful and peaceful on the surface. But how many undercurrents happened below was not spread outside. It was kept in secret with few people knowing it.

Empress Dowager Jian looked at the table full of teas and pastries in front of her with cold face. Ever since the previous Emperor passed away, her title changed from Empress to Empress Dowager.

Even though she was still living in this large harem, her power was no longer as much as before.

She's not the third prince's mother.

But because she used to be the Empress, she still retained the title of Empress Dowager. But the power of the harem had been handed over to the new Empress while many of the previous emperor's concubines were sent to the nearby temples.

Only a few were left behind.

She was among them.

"Aijia* didn't think that the situation would be so dire that everyone has to gather here today," Empress Dowager Jian said in a low voice, her expression was filled with indifference.

Another Empress Dowager who also stayed in the Imperial Harem chuckled. "Your Highness, we're just worried about your health since the situation outside hadn't been very good."

Empress Dowager Jian smiled noncommittally. She had naturally heard of the situation outside, but she was not as worried as these women. Her family was quite strong and didn't go to the frontline. _{freёwebnovel.com}

Instead, it was some of these women who had their families at the frontline. The previous Emperor basically married women from various military and officials' family.

Empress Lang, the current Empress, clenched her fist when she listened to these women talked to Empress Dowager Jian. Even though she was the current Empress and had the power over the harem, there was no doubt that these Empress Dowagers listened more to Empress Dowager Jian.

She only had control over the Imperial Concubine Emperor Zhang Hou Tian had.

But for the Empress Dowagers?
