Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 2452

"Grandpa?"

"Well…" Old Master Nan thought for a moment and then said, "Do you know that the highest nobility title is basically duke, right? I was given the title of grand duke by His Majesty as an award for my contribution over the years."

The title was once taken away from Old Master Nan during the time when there was incident with his son. But afterwards, it was given back to him.

After all, Emperor Yang Zhou didn’t really want to take this title away from him.

It was just to show the Imperial Family’s stance during that incident and to let the other nobles see that the Nan Family would still be punished when they were wrong.

"Yes." Nan Hua nodded.

"The Xiao Family was also granted this title not long ago." Old Master Nan rubbed his forehead helplessly. "In normal times, the Xiao Family would stay low key and simply support the Emperor in doing their work. But the current Xiao Family had changed slightly."

To put it nicely, the Xiao Family used to maintain neutrality no matter who the Emperor was. Because only by being loyal to the nation instead of being loyal to one of the forces would it be possible for the Xiao Family to survive.

At the same time, the Xiao Family members were talented in various political matters and worked in the officialdom.

They were doing their work well, not the most outstanding but not the worst either.

It could be said that they were handling their work appropriately.

But the Xiao Family changed some time ago.

"They’re getting impatient," Old Master Nan said slowly. "His Majesty already had welcomed his seventh child and none of them come from Empress Xiao."

Nan Hua: "…"

She had the feeling that Emperor Yang Zhou was quite busy lately but the thing that he did the most was to work hard and expand the family’s branches. Did he do this because many of his family members died because of his father’s action when he usurped the throne back then?

Still, Nan Hua felt that it was not really a good thing to listen to this kind of matter.

"The Xiao Family didn’t want to be forgotten and want to show that they’re still needed, so that Emperor Yang Zhou can pay more attention to Empress Xiao." Old Master Nan thought about the rumors he heard and sighed. "But I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing."

Should Empress Xiao have a child, it was estimated that this child would have to be conferred as the crown prince after he was born. Because with Empress Xiao’s family background, this child would definitely be pushed to the center of the storm.

At that time…

Old Master Nan didn’t know whether it would be a good situation or not.

But he didn’t really want to see that scene.

Hopefully, it would happen after he had passed away.

After all, Emperor Yang Zhou was still very strong and even if his children wanted to take the throne, they were also too young. They would have to bid their time and wait until the right time for them to take the throne in the future.
