Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 632

Chapter 632 Tu Family (3)

Nan Luo’s eyes were cold. The Tu Family originally have low ranks, but because one of their daughters become the previous emperor’s concubine, they had started to raise in ranks. At that time, the emperor favored his concubine and also followed her words. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

But it was before Emperor Yang Zhou’s mother appeared.

When she appeared, it was basically a massacre in the harem. No women could come close to her beauty and she immediately got the emperor’s favor.

At that time, the entire harem was a battlefield.

And the one who become the final winner was this Empress Dowager Mei, who used to be an Imperial Concubine. She might not be the Empress, but she has more power than the Empress herself.

And other concubines could only stay at the back and did nothing, trying their best to attract the attention of the Emperor from time to time. Some succeeded and some others failed.

But even so, the Tu Family had benefited a lot from this arrangement.

Besides, their family member who become the Imperial Concubine back then finally had a daughter: Princess Hu.

The Emperor could forget his concubines.

But he couldn’t ignore his children forever. Even if a daughter will become a political marriage tool in the future, they were still part of the Imperial Family.

And just being part of the Imperial Family meant that they had more power.

Imperial Family’s honor must never be slighted.

Thus, the families of their mother would undoubtedly become more and more powerful as time passed. It was some kind of protection that was given to maintain the emperor’s face.

This is the backing of Tu Family.

By now, the existence of Princess Hu was what allowed them to continue reigning.

But Emperor Yang Zhou naturally didn’t care that much about her. But back then, he was simply too young to fully control the court and too many officials were not on his side. The work department was naturally not his first priority.

Thus, the Tu Family had been having it easy for the past few years.

As long as they kept low profile, they wouldn’t be easily noticed and then eliminated by the Emperor.

”Transferring their works are not easy. There are more people that Grandfather had sent to Ministry of Work, but their ranks are not that high. And there are also others who had been oppressed by the Tu Family start to fight back slowly but surely.

We’ve been doing this for some time, but for the seeds we sow to bear fruit will take more time. For now, they’re still being suppressed by the others. It might take a few more months for them to finally reach the necessary standard to make sure that the delicate political balance is not disrupted.”

Feng Ao Si blinked his eyes.

”Are you sure you want to discuss this here?”

”There’s no one around us.” Nan Luo chuckled. “And besides, we didn’t really do our communication directly and only from a distance.”

”I see….”
