Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 695

Chapter 695: Obedient

But even if he knew that, there was nothing much that Long Qian Xing could do.

He couldn't leave the place earlier than the Imperial Family members because it would be the same as not giving them face. It would be too much of a hassle for him to take care of the mess of the crime of not respecting the Imperial Family members.

Long Qian Xing could only finish his lunch as fast as possible while waiting for a chance for him to give an excuse to leave.

'Should I use the excuse that His Majesty come to look for me?'

It was not impossible, but Emperor Yang Zhou might not know about it and ended up acting with flaw. Besides, Emperor Yang Zhou was currently staying in the opposite direction from the garden where Nan Hua and the other girls had their lunch.

It would be weird if Long Qian Xing headed in the opposite direction after giving that excuse.

While Long Qian Xing was mulling internally, Empress Dowager Yan wiped her mouth and noticed the gaze on the young man's eyes. She mused to herself then stood up. "Imperial Sister, I would like to take a walk before resuming the selection. I hope you don't mind."

"I don't mind at all, Imperial Sister." Empress Dowager Mei was putting on a smile but she was actually snorting internally. She didn't really care where Empress Dowager Yan was going.

All she wanted was to leave this place too.

After all, she had no intention of paying another visit to that place and possibly put herself in predicament just like what had happened not long ago.

"Young Master Long, would you like to accompany Aijia?" Empress Dowager Yan suddenly called.

Long Qian Xing was surprised, but he reacted quickly. He stood up and cupped his fist. "It'll be my honor, Your Highness."

Empress Dowager Yan nodded and walked away, leaving the area. Prince Yang Lu and Princess Mu Fei Xin watched her back before resuming their activity. They had no intention of prying into the matter of others.

The two of them walked to the stone path with several maidservants following behind them.

"You can go first, Young Master Long." Empress Dowager Yan suddenly remarked.

Long Qian Xing's eyes flashed. He smiled lightly as he felt that this Empress Dowager sure has sharp eyes. The reason why she could stand firmly in the seat as the Empress even without any child was not a mere fluke.

"Many thanks for your generosity, Your Highness."

Empress Dowager Yan chuckled. "I would like for you to come and pay me a visit in the future, Young Master Long. Of course, bring your little fiancée with you."

"I will, Your Highness."

As Long Qian Xing walked past Empress Dowager Yan, he faintly heard the Empress Dowager muttered a word. His eyes changed a bit, but he didn't turn around and clarify it to Empress Dowager Yan.

However, his eyes showed a profound light.

It didn't take long for him to see Nan Hua walking in his direction. She didn't look much different compared to when she first separated from him not long ago. Her clear black eyes were staring back in his direction. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}
