Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 799

Chapter 799: Visit to Empress Dowager Yan (1)

It didn't take long for Nan Hua to dress up.

Old Master Nan followed her to the palace, but he didn't come into Empress Dowager Yan's Residence and instead headed to the main hall. He was called by the Emperor because the next one to be settled would be the Nan Family.

It was already a great mercy of him to settle the Nan Family to be the last one.

And both Old Master Nan and Nan Hua knew very well that the reason why the Emperor allowed this was mostly because of Old Master Nan's contributions. If not because of him, it was estimated that the entire Nan Family would be destroyed.

"Grandfather," Nan Hua called softly.

"it'll be fine." Old Master Nan smiled reassuringly at his granddaughter. "Go and pay a visit to Her Highness. Don't make her wait for you."

Nan Hua looked at her grandfather and then nodded her head. "Okay, Grandfather."

"Good girl."

Guided by the maidservant, Nan Hua walked along the path. The road was decorated nicely, but the people who were guarding the area were all working in a strict manner. It seemed as if they were afraid that if they made even the slightest bit of mistake, they would be punished.

Empress Dowager Yan was not a soft person like what many people thought.

Nan Hua thought that there wouldn't be anyone here, but she saw Long Qian Xing standing in front of the building. Dressed in a black robe, he looked quite eye catching when compared to the bright color of the building behind him.

Nan Hua blinked and called out, "Brother Long."

Long Qian Xing smiled and walked towards Nan Hua, not waiting for her to arrive. "Hua'er, you're here."

"Mhm, Her Highness invited me to come." Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing for a moment. "Does Brother Long also come here to pay a visit to Her Highness?"

"Yes."

Long Qian Xing turned around and walked beside Nan Hua. He was the one who asked Emperor Yang Zhou to let the two of them meet, but he naturally had to be present when they met.

What a joke. There was no way he would let the two of them meet without him around. It would be too dangerous, in his opinion.

That woman…

It is not just a mere Empress Dowager who had no power and had been pulled down because of her affairs.

Long Qian Xing's eyes narrowed when he thought about Empress Dowager Yan. There was no way that he would allow his little fiancée met with her alone.

As they walked, Nan Hua could faintly sense the smell of blood. For the blood to be present even in Empress Dowager Yan's palace meant that there was some cleaning done here too. There would have a lot of people who were implicated because of their relationship or because of what they had done.

Long Qian Xing looked at the maidservant in front of them and nodded. The maidservant then led them inside.

"There has been some cleaning here, so if you want to come inside, you have to be accompanied by one of the elder maids," Long Qian Xing explained.

Nan Hua nodded.

She had guessed as much.

"Don't be afraid. Nothing will happen to you." Long Qian Xing's eyes narrowed.

Nan Hua glanced at Long Qian Xing but didn't answer. She was not afraid, not at all. These people from the palaces had no intention of persecuting her with the other Nan Family members. It was something she knew.

So Nan Hua had no reason to be afraid.

"Your Highness, Young Master Long and First Young Miss Nan had arrived."

"Let them in."

The walk didn't last long before they reached a beautifully decorated room. The thick scent of medicine made Nan Hua blink her eyes. She knew that Empress Dowager Yan had a weak body and had to drink a lot of medicine, but she didn't know it was this bad.

For her to be able to survive in this brutal palace showed just how strong her willpower is. An ordinary woman might have long given up in her condition.

Empress Dowager Yan was lying on her bed when the servants announced the two's arrival. She didn't even bother to stand up or prepare herself and allowed the two of them to come inside.

Long Qian Xing's eyes flashed before he cupped his fist, "Long Qian Xing, Young Master of the Long Family, greets Her Highness, Empress Dowager Yan."

"Nan Hua, First Young Miss of Nan Family, greets Her Highness, Empress Dowager Yan," Nan Hua curtsied and followed smoothly.
