Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416 The Aftermath

Bang!

The soldiers under Great General Nan rushed into the palace, killing the guards there and rushed inside. However, the sight that greeted them was not the sight of Prince Yang Lu leading Hai Family.

Instead, it was Prince Yang Lu who stood in front of them without even any weapon with so many officials behind him. They all showed no sign of fighting.

"Whoa…" Nan Luo's eyes widened.

"Anyone can explain what happened here?" Old Master Nan saw Nan Hua stood with her silver mask, so he knew that she was not against them. However, he had to know what had happened here.

One of the officials stepped forward to explain everything. Of course, he omitted some of them and only stated that Prince Yang Lu fought bravely while in fact the prince was threatened. In addition, he also said that Prince Yang Lu never had any intention and it was all because of Hai Family fault.

The soldiers were all stunned when they heard the story. As some of them cleaned up the mess Old Master Nan and a few soldiers were busy listening to what these people said about the story.

"Hai Family is ambitious." Old Master Nan nodded in agreement. He glanced at Prince Yang Lu. "Hai Family blood runs in your body, Your Highness. Don't you have the same perception as them?"

Prince Yang Lu knew that it would be very hard to convince others about his innocence. However, he didn't want to run.

"I admit that my mother was from Hai Family and longs for power. However, I swear to the Heaven that I didn't lie. If I lie, may I be struck by lightning," Prince Yang Lu said seriously.

In this era, swearing on one's life was the sign that they would be saying the truth. It was because they all believed that if they dared to swear on their life, it meant that they would be saying the truth.

Old Master Nan nodded. "It's still the truth that you're part of Hai Family. I'll give the report to His Majesty."

"Thank you, Great General Nan."

"Clean up this place." _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

The officials were all questioned one by one and their answers were more or less the same. They were all threatened by the Hai Family with their family members whom they brought to Kuai City. Even though they didn't want to, the Hai Family would not let them off unless they agreed to what they said.

The children all rested and didn't participate in the aftermath.

All except for Nan Hua.

"You can rest first, Nan." Old Master Nan glanced at his granddaughter, who was following him to interrogate the officials. It was almost done, so she could actually go back and have some rest.

Nan Hua shook her head. "There's no need for that, General."

Old Master Nan felt like rubbing his forehead. Right now, Nan Hua was indeed using the identity as the shadow guard that was protecting Nan Luo. It was also because of this identity that it was harder for Old Master Nan to treat Nan Hua like how he usually treat her.

"Come with me to the study room."
