Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

And their actions… would be passed down from generation to generation.

Emperor Yang Zhou and Long Qian Xing went to the back hall where the carriage was parked there. Looking at the intact carriage, Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows.

In normal times, no carriage would be allowed to enter the Imperial Palace.

Because this is the same as putting risk on Emperor Yang Zhou.

But they made an exception today.

There was only one person who could give such an order.

Long Qian Xing glanced at Emperor Yang Zhou imperceptibly and for a moment, he felt that Emperor Yang Zhou should have been prepared for everything for a long time.

The eunuchs nearby were all dismissed.

With Long Qian Xing beside Emperor Yang Zhou, if the negotiation fall out and they wanted to try harming Emperor Yang Zhou, nothing could be done. He would protect Emperor Yang Zhou tightly to prevent any accident.

Bang!

The door opened and a man walked out.

Long Qian Xing looked at the imperial dress that this man wore and the corner of his lips curled up slightly.

The Emperor of Qi Xi Kingdom sure is brave.

This should be the second time he came to see Emperor Yang Zhou face to face.

Qi Kan Tian walked down the carriage and looked at Emperor Yang Zhou in front of him. He smiled brightly. "It's been a while since we see each other, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yang Zhou arched his eyebrows slightly.

When they met back then, Qi Kan Tian still held some arrogance but still quite amiable if one had to say. Compared to the other kingdom emperors who would definitely look down on the young Emperor Yang Zhou, Qi Kan Tian still maintained the basic respect.

But from the way Qi Kan Tian addressed him today, Emperor Yang Zhou was sure of one thing.

That there was no need for a war between Qi Xi Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom.

"It seems you have made your decision, Emperor Qi," Emperor Yang Zhou responded calmly.

"It depends on what you have to say." Emperor Qi Kan Tian didn't answer right away and smiled while taking out a fan from his sleeve. For this meeting, he had prepared it for countless days and nights.

Perhaps, from the very moment he saw Emperor Yang Zhou many years ago, he had the inkling that this young man could achieve his dream.

But that was just a bet.

Now, this bet was fulfilled.

All that left was the negotiation to be done between the two parties to finalize some matters that had been left behind.

"Please take a seat." Emperor Yang Zhou pointed to the side where table and chairs have been prepared. He knew that the talk with Emperor Qi Kan Tian might take a long time depending on the extent of how much they wanted to discuss this matter.

Emperor Qi Kan Tian smiled and walked to the seat.

Long Qian Xing stood still and looked at the carriage. He turned to look at Emperor Yang Zhou. "Your Majesty, there's still someone in the carriage."

There's still someone?

Emperor Yang Zhou turned to look at Emperor Qi Kan Tian.

"It's my maidservant. Let her stay with Great General Wei for a while. He's guarding at the periphery, right?" Emperor Qi Kan Tian said generously.

When the carriage was brought inside, Emperor Qi Kan Tian had seen Great General Wei, Wei Da Lang, stood at the periphery. It was clear that Emperor Yang Zhou also called Wei Da Lang to help facilitate and protect him in this negotiation.

Though, Emperor Qi Kan Tian didn't have any intention of attacking Emperor Yang Zhou.

The current Qi Xi Kingdom…

*sigh*

As the Emperor of Qi Xi Kingdom, Qi Kan Tian knew very well that Qi Xi Kingdom wouldn't be able to survive in a war against Fei Yang Kingdom. What awaited them would be nothing more than a disastrous defeat.

So it would be better to resolve this matter without going to war in the slightest bit.

Emperor Yang Zhou nodded.

Qi Xue slowly walked out of the carriage and curtsied towards these people. She knew that based on her status alone, she was not qualified to talk with them. So she slowly made her way to the periphery where she found Wei Da Lang standing guard.

There were other soldiers but they were a distance away from Wei Da Lang.

This arrangement seemed to be on purpose.

"You come," Wei Da Lang said unhurriedly.

"His Majesty requested for me to come, so I follow along," Qi Xue replied and stood not far from where Wei Da Lang stood.

Her eyes looked in the directions where Emperor Qi Kan Tian and Emperor Yang Zhou were sitting while Long Qian Xing stood behind Emperor Yang Zhou to protect the latter.

"Are you worried?"

"A bit," Qi Xue admitted. "But I can't stop it."

She didn't have any power nor any capability to participate in this grand war and grand scheme. What she could do was to stand beside Emperor Qi Kan Tian and assisted him as much as possible.

The rest?

She could only leave it up to fate.

"Do you even have any plan to stop it?" Wei Da Lang listened to Qi Xue's words and shook his head. "You can't even move on and live your own life, how can you make any sort of plan and try to change the world?"

"You…" Qi Xue frowned and looked at Wei Da Lang, but saw him looking back in her direction with calm gaze.

She bit her lower lips and stayed silent.

Because she knew that Wei Da Lang was correct.

She had never truly moved on.

For so many years, she felt that she couldn't continue to long for another future. It was pathetic, but for her, her entire life died that day.

The day the person she loves the most in the entire world died and leave them all behind.
