Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 63

Should she just kill him?

Zhang Dan Shui shuddered at the cold gaze Nan Hua gave to him and quickly called out, "Miss, esteemed Miss, please wait."

"Yes?" _{freёweɓnovel.com}

"I'll… help you, so please spare my life!"

Nan Hua looked at Zhang Dan Shui and furrowed her brows. "You don't even know me and you claim that you'll be able to help me?"

Not only Zhang Dan Shui, even Hou Lin felt his blood froze when he heard Nan Hua's chilling cold tone. It was as if he was thrown to the bottom of the lake and the water surrounding him was frozen solid.

Zhang Dan Shui gritted his teeth. "I don't know who you are, but considering that you're making your move against Commander Hai, I can guess that you might be someone from His Majesty side. It's also possible that you're close to someone from his side and thus decided to help him.

Right now, the second prince's men are moving in the palace in an attempt to seize their last chance. Her Highness Empress Dowager Hai would be moved to a secluded palace soon, so this would be her last chance to help her son."

Within 50 days after an Emperor's death, his women, who had become widow, would be settled. It was already 21 days and it was clear that her time was no longer that much. After all, settling the untitled women to monastery and the titled one as Empress Dowagers usually take the first 50 days.

After 50 days, the women of the new Emperor would enter the palace. Because of that, the harem needed to be cleaned.

The problem was that without Empress Dowager Hai's backing, the second prince had no power whatsoever. It would be a miracle if he didn't end up as a forgotten prince in the palace because the officials would be focused on the more powerful faction.

And since the previous Emperor died so close to Winter, it would be impossible for them to move when the winter grew harsher. At that time, it would be too late as Empress Dowager Hai would have already been moved to a separate palace that was far from the main one.

Nan Hua looked at Zhang Dan Shui. "You know more than you show normally."

The attire Zhang Dan Shui wore obviously showed that he was nothing more than a low ranked official. And yet, the knowledge he possessed was one that not even a high ranking official was fully aware of.

After all, some of the matters were quite far etched.

Zhang Dan Shui's heart thumped when he heard what Nan Hua's said. He had been living his life while hiding his true capabilities in fear that he would be killed if he showed more than what he was supposed to. But now that he was about to lose his life, how could he possibly hide it any longer?

If he died, his capabilities meant nothing.

Thus he chose to take a gamble.
