Flowers Bloom from Battlefield-Chapter 277: The Chaos in Kai Kingdom

140 days after the assassination of the imperial family

The declaration of war from one kingdom to another one is not always welcomed by the citizen. That's what happened to Kai Kingdom. As the war continued on the losing end, the people no longer feeling safe and they were starting to get restless.

In the meantime, some of the officials were starting to voice up their' complain to the emperor. In the end, all of them only met with a deaf ear and the emperor still proceeded with the war. It was even going more intense as time pass by.

The cities fall to the enemies, and they couldn't do anything to take it back. The enemies were really strong and even as a big kingdom, the Kai Kingdom face defeat continuously. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

Emperor Mou walked to his chamber with a dark face. Today was the same; the officials were all telling him that he needed to stop the war as soon as possible. The food supplies were decreasing rapidly, and the number of people going against him continued to increase as time passed by.

"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?" Tian Ni, who was now already the empress of Kai Kingdom, greeted Emperor Mou.

"How can I feel good? Those officials are telling me to change my decision, what are they? They are just some lowlife who's not worthy to talk to me."

Emperor Mou berated. As the first prince, he had gained a lot of attention since he was the one who would inherit the throne. People were following after him, and he enjoyed the treatment very much. Now that he had become the emperor, they wanted him to listen to them? Not a chance!

The highest authority was held by the emperor, and anyone who went against him would meet with dead punishment. However, no matter how many times he did it, the number of officials who tried to go against him increased as day passed by. If this continued, he wouldn't have any talented officials left.

Tian Ni looked at him with scorn. People like this could become the emperor was really a miracle. She didn't understand just what the previous emperor saw in him to choose this new emperor as the one to inherit his position.

It was not like there was no one else, but now all of them have died on the war. Tian Ni eyes glinted with maliciousness.

"Come over here, Tian Ni!"

"Yes Your Highness."

After a round of activities, Tian Ni set off to Prince You residence. She wanted to see the only prince left on this kingdom. She heard that he was a sickly prince, but seeing the condition of that prince, she truly felt that he was a pitiful prince.

Prince You was lying on the couch with a wine bottle on his hand. His face was pale, and the color of his skin was nearing white. His clothes were disheveled and there were traces of wine on some parts. It seemed that this prince was already nearing the death gate with that kind of condition.

"Empress, you shouldn't come to here," a servant said hesitatingly. She was uncertain about what the empress would do should she come here uninvited. Not to mention that the condition of Prince You was not one to receive any guest.

"It's fine. I just want to have some talk with Prince You."

Prince You lifted up his head and looked towards Tian Ni. He didn't bother correcting his position even though the other party was an empress. His eyes when looking towards Tian Ni was filled with scorn.

"Leave us."

Tian Ni looked towards the pitiful prince and took a seat in front of him. "How are you feeling, Prince You?"

"I'm good, Empress Ni," Prince You didn't even bother to give her polite speech.

"Don't you want to get the throne?"

"Saying such words, are you suggesting for me to rebel, Empress Ni? Don't forget who your current husband now is."

TIan Ni smiled coldly. "It's the emperor. I'm the most powerful person in this kingdom after him. But, do you think I want to stay near him?"

Prince You averted his eyes. "No, you're always saying that you love Soujin and all. But, with what you and your family did to him years ago, do you think you're worthy of that words?"

"What do you know? You're not even there!"

"Maybe I'm not there, but I know that if you truly love him, you won't let his family hurt like that and leave them to die. Do you think he wouldn't know that?"

Tian Ni stood up abruptly. "It seems I had underestimated you, Prince You. All this time, you're just waiting for a good time to strike while keeping a low profile.

Watching the woman strode outside, Prince You didn't even bother explaining things. Tian Ni often played to the palace when she was here and has good relation with the princes. However, she always rejected them and told them that she already has someone she loved.

Originally, he thought that she truly loved him, but what she wanted was just the power behind that person. This true intention was hidden deeply on her heart, but he noticed it. He hoped that man also knew that, so he wouldn't get fooled by the woman acts. There were women who are really scary in their act.

For him, there was only one person who cared for him, and she was waiting him on the other world. He barely has any strength left and he knew that his time was near. With a smile on his lips, he passed away.

When Tian Ni reaches the palace, the emperor was looking at her with an angry gaze.

"What is it, Your Majesty?" 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

"What did you do to Prince You?" he bellowed.

"Your Highness!" Tian Ni was surprised, but she didn't know what to do. What was happening?

"You better stay inside and don't create any trouble for me again."

With that, the emperor left the empress alone. Emperor Mou was angry towards Tian Ni for a single reason, the fact that Prince You died right after the empress left him. The people were furious, and they said that the empress was unsuitable because she was lacking in moral conduct.

Tian Ni only found the reason later that day. Tian Ni gritted her teeth as she suppressed the rage inside her heart. She didn't know that Prince You was already at the death door, if she knew, she would have never visited him. She had made a grave mistake.

Emperor Mou looked towards the officials with angry eyes. Because of this incident, the number of people going against the war increase rapidly. This was the first time he felt regret for taking the lady into his side if all she did was bringing him trouble.
