Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"What do you mean by normally?" Nan Luo looked at Long Qian Xing suspiciously. "Does it mean that they have more power than what I know."

"You can say it like that."

"Hey, explain further!"

"A brat like you wouldn't understand." Long Qian Xing shrugged.

Right now, Nan Luo really wished to beat up Long Qian Xing. This annoying man was not only going to take his sister away from him, but he also had such a nasty personality! Couldn't he explain better about this matter to him? He didn't understand anything, ah!

"We're here."

The harem was simply consisted of several smaller palaces that was designed for the women in the Imperial Family. Emperor Yang Zhou walked to one of them and pointed to the building before him.

It was a grand building if Nan Luo had to say. Even the main residence of Nan Family couldn't be compared to this thing.

As they got closer, they heard shouting from inside.

"Move! Don't block my way!"

"Your Highness, you have to be careful."

"Damn it! Why is this door not opening?" Prince Yang Lu was kicking the door in front of him with rage. He had to get out of this palace and somehow figured out a method to strike his brother back.

But why was the secret passage he wanted to use didn't want to open?

"It's useless for you to keep kicking." Emperor Yang Zhou looked at his younger brother. "I already destroyed that passage before this."

"You…" Prince Yang Lu looked at his older brother and gritted his teeth. "What do you want, ah? Are you going to kill me too?"

"Too? Do you perhaps have some misunderstanding?" Emperor Yang Zhou slowly walked closer. The women in the harem all crouched to the side, wanting to escape. However, Long Qian Xing blocked their route and smiled kindly.

"What?"

"Empress Dowager Hai is still alive."

"Mother is…" Prince Yang Lu was in disbelief. He thought that Emperor Yang Zhou would kill his mother then kill him afterwards. However, what happened was outside of his expectation because the prince didn't kill his mother.

Bam!

A punch landed on Prince Yang Lu's face. The young prince was stunned. He looked at his older brother but couldn't find any word to say.

Emperor Yang Zhou's face was still indifferent but there was trace of anger brewing beneath his eyes. "Do you know that your action is going to destroy Fei Yang Kingdom? You should be glad that I don't have any plan to kill you."

"Why…?"

"Why?"

Bam! Bang! Peng! Thunk!

Rather than answering, more punches and kick landed on Prince Yang Lu's body. It seemed that Emperor Yang Zhou was venting all of his suppressed anger from all this time to the young prince. From his action alone, it was clear that he didn't have any intention of stopping anytime soon.

Nan Luo was staying behind the door because Long Qian Xing didn't let him enter. He told the brat that it would be better if these women didn't see Nan Luo.

"Why don't you stop him?" Nan Luo was still listening from outside and felt that being beaten up so badly like that might even cost that young prince his life.

"His Majesty needs to vent a bit."

"Vent?"

"Yes. He had some repressed emotions, you know." Long Qian Xing was still smiling as he watched both the concubines and Emperor Yang Zhou. He looked relaxed but anyone who dared to test him would know that his stance only looked that way for layman like them who didn't understand martial arts.

Nan Luo was speechless. He used to think that Emperor Yang Zhou was completely indifferent. But now that he saw Emperor Yang Zhou beating up his younger brother like that… he changed his opinion.

That man was also a human.

But he was just so much much much better at controlling his emotions.

Thud!

Finally, Emperor Yang Zhou finally finished beating up Prince Yang Lu. It might need some applauding since Prince Yang Lu somehow managed to stay conscious through the entire ordeal. Though, his handsome face had turned similar to that of a pig now.

"You're going to stay at the Cold Palace for the time being." Emperor Yang Zhou turned around. "If you test my patience again, I don't mind sending you faster to Imperial Father than Empress Dowager Hai. Don't be stupid like this."

Prince Yang Lu gritted his teeth.

Bam!

Landing one last punch, Prince Yang Lu finally lost his consciousness. Emperor Yang Zhou turned his head to look at the other three imperial concubines there. They were his father's imperial concubines who managed to stay alive since he had not finished cleaning up the harem.

"I have been thinking that I'm letting you all free for too long." Emperor Yang Zhou's eyes were cold. "Kill them."

Slash! Slash! Slash!

The three concubines didn't even have the chance to scream when Long Qian Xing had already killed them all. Their bodies fell to the ground as Long Qian Xing waved his sword to clean up the blood.

"Should I deal with the bodies?"

"No need." Emperor Yang Zhou turned to look at the side. Standing beside the other door was a young woman around the age of 24 years old. She was dressed in dark red robes and had her hair dressed up neatly. Even though she looked young and immature, the word 'authority' clearly exuded from her face.

Clearly, the result of living in the palace for so many years had resulted in her growing up much faster than other women.

Noticing Emperor Yang Zhou was looking in her direction, the woman bowed in his direction. There were two servants behind her and the two of them had long kowtowed to the ground.

They had to be careful to make sure that they would not die, so no matter how scared they were, they still acted respectful.

Emperor Yang Zhou then said lightly, "Empress Dowager Yan, clean up this mess."
