Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 1969

Chapter 1969 Shangguan Family’s Affairs (3)

"You're afraid."

Hearing Emperor Yang Zhou's words, Shangguan Xian's body was taut and even stiffer than before. He was sure that he hid his expression very well, so how come Emperor Yang Zhou was able to notice what he was actually feeling?

Shangguan Xian was worried.

Emperor Yang Zhou shook his head slightly. "If you're sure of your retirement, I'll not stop you. However, due to your mistake in the army, I couldn't reward you for this war."

"I know, Your Majesty."

For Shangguan Xian, not receiving any reward was good. After all, he lost and it would be rather strange for Emperor Yang Zhou to give him any reward. Even if he had served Fei Yang Kingdom for a long time, he had already received his rewards during those years. His saving was quite a lot due to his good performance over the years. Even if it was not that much, but it would be enough for him and his family to live until the rest of their lives.

Granted that they didn't spend money lavishly for unnecessary things. "You can arrange your soldiers by yourself." Emperor Yang Zhou would not handle such a matter on his own. He had other more important things to do with his time. "I'll not punish you either, Shangguan Xian."

No punishment?

Shangguan Xian raised his head in surprise and saw Emperor Yang Zhou looking in his direction. The young emperor was younger than him, but Shangguan Xian felt a faint oppression no less than his grandfather back then. Being raised by such a powerful grandfather, it was hard for him in the early years where he had to train every single day. His grandfather would not let him have many rests and determined to raise him to become a powerful general like him. But eventually, it was impossible for him to see the result. Because his grandfather and father had fallen far earlier before him. Emperor Yang Zhou waved his hand. "You can arrange the aftermath of your actions by yourself without the need to think about me. I'll not interfere in your decisions and actions. You may leave now."

Shangguan Xian looked at Emperor Yang Zhou in a daze.

He was sure that Emperor Yang Zhou knew something. Either it was because of his own reactions or it was because of the investigations that Emperor Yang Zhou had done. After all, even if Shangguan Yu had done everything in secret, there was no truly impenetrable wall in the world. Emperor Yang Zhou might have found some clues about what Shangguan Yu did.
