Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower-Chapter 1261 Zhang Xu Kingdom’s Strive

Nan Hua thought for a moment and then nodded. "I'll go to the frontline, but I wouldn't be staying with Young Master Nan."

Long Qian Xing's eyes flashed.

Even though Nan Hua didn't say it clearly, he could guess that she would not be staying with this identity of hers. Did she have other identity he didn't know yet?

Looking at the young woman in front of him, Long Qian Xing suppressed the inquiry in his mind and nodded lightly. "I see."

The two of them no longer spoke and ate quietly.

With their education as young master or young miss, there was no doubt that the two of them have impeccable manner and etiquette. On normal meal times, they would not talk anything except when they have feast or party together.

The two servants standing at the side were waiting quietly.

Chu Yue looked at the scene in front of her and blinked her eyes. For some reason, she felt that the atmosphere was so harmonious right now. Even without them saying anything and only eating like this, it looked as if the two of them were truly a match with each other.

She lowered her eyes.

Their presence felt like an additional unneeded piece right now. However, they definitely couldn't just walk out when their masters were here.

Being a servant is truly difficult.

*sigh*

…

<Zhang Xu Kingdom, the Imperial Palace>

In the Imperial Palace, no one dared to speak. Every servant could sense that there was something wrong and didn't dare to neglect their duty in the slightest bit in fear that they would lose their lives the next moment.

"His Majesty had passed away, as the successor, I'll fulfill my father's dream and quest in my life!"

The atmosphere was heavy and the smell of blood was very clear. There were several officials who were staying within the Emperor's bedroom this time including several Imperial Doctors.

For the past few days, Zhang Xu Kingdom's Emperor had been deteriorating in his condition. It alarmed the Imperial Doctors as they were all summoned to the Imperial Palace to monitor his situation.

No one found anything wrong.

And with the attainment in Zhang Xu Kingdom about medicine, it was almost certain that no one would be capable of poisoning the Imperial Family in their entire life. It was not that they were overconfident, but their foundation and history had allowed them to have this kind of pride.

But Zhang Xu Kingdom's Emperor's situation was quite strange and they didn't know how to solve it in the slightest bit.

And as time passed, Zhang Xu Kingdom's Emperor was getting weaker.

The nominal crown prince that was selected had been changed several times over the past few months. These princes were not idle as they all wanted the throne. And now, the last person who was nominated as the crown prince was Zhang Xu Kingdom's Third Prince.

"Your Majesty!" The officials knelt down.

"Please give us your first order, Your Majesty."

Zhang Xu Kingdom's third prince, Prince Zhang Hou Tian, looked at the officials and showed the heavy face. It seemed that he was so sad and hurt that his father would die at this point of time.

"The situation is dire. For my first order, I hope that everyone can calm the unrest of people and let them know that even if Zhen* had only ascended the throne, I'll bring Zhang Xu Kingdom to greater heights!"

"Yes!"

The officials all bowed down and quickly dispersed to perform their personal tasks.

Prince Zhang Hou Tian, who had now become Emperor Zhang Hou Tian since he hadn't picked his own title, looked at his father on the bed. In the angle that no one could see, his eyes flashed with cold glint.

For so many years, he had planned for this and will never let the chance go. Now that the highest power was in his hand, he would make sure to make a good use of it and never let it go.

'Prime Minister Lei should receive the message soon.'

Emperor Zhang Hou Tian looked at the officials and walked out of the corridor towards the main hall. Now that he had become the Emperor, his wife will be called to the main palace directly. The other people in his residence will only be moved after the procedure had been completed.

Even though they were still in the middle of war era, there was no hurry about this kind of protocol. Emperor Zhang Hou Tian himself didn't really care about that because during the mourning period, he couldn't even stay in the same quarter with his wife and concubines.

That was if he didn't want to be criticized.

No matter what, he had finally obtained the highest seat and won the battle of power with his siblings. There was no way he would let it slip away just because of a moment of folly.

Tep.

Walking to the main hall, Emperor Zhang Hou Tian looked at the throne in front of him. The same throne that he had been dreaming for so many years in his life. There was no doubt that he would definitely sleep very well tonight.

He slowly walked to the throne and looked at the seat and chuckled lightly.

No matter what, this is only the first step.

Being an Emperor was not the end in his path and there will be many things that he had to finish. From eliminating his brothers so that they would not covet this throne to the war and many other things that happened on the border.

Well, dealing with his brothers were easy.

He only needed to set them up and with his current authority as the Emperor, no one would be able to challenge him.

The problem was the war.

He needed to deploy more people to the frontline so that they wouldn't be pushed back by Fei Yang Kingdom so much.

"My Lord."

Emperor Zhang Hou Tian turned around.
