Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower-Chapter 1280 Behind The Scenes
"Since you have done so much, Zhen will reimburse you and give you reward. Zhen will not wrong a good person and will give you the reward you deserved."
"Many thanks for your generosity, Your Majesty." Imperial Doctor Si cupped his fist.
Emperor Yang Zhou waved his hand and gave a few more orders before dismissing the court. With such incident, who was in the mood to talk about the other affairs of the nation? It would be better for them to hurry and headed to the north border and taught some lesson to those people from Fan Yi Kingdom.
The court dismissed.
These officials walked out of the main hall, still feeling apprehensive.
"I didn't expect that those people from Fan Yi Kingdom could be so courageous that they sent an assassin among the entourage who comes."
"I really thought that they could see Fei Yang Kingdom's greatness, so they come here. But it seemed that I was thinking too much."

"It's thanks for Imperial Doctor Si today."
"Yes, I'm thankful that Imperial Doctor Si come today to check on His Majesty's health or he wouldn't be here."
The officials were talking with each other as they walked out. Their voices were relatively low, but it was clear that everyone was discussing this matter. They were glad that Emperor Yang Zhou was someone who prioritized his health and there will be an Imperial Doctor who came from time to time to the Imperial Palace to check on him.
Without him, they wouldn't be able to subdue the assassin fast enough before he reached His Majesty.
After all, there was still a distance between the Emperor and the other officials. Not to mention, many of them were frozen in fear when they saw such a scene with their own eyes.
At the back, Shangguan Yu's face was somewhat dark. He responded to the few greetings of the officials before asking the servant to push him towards the Red District. After the incident during Emperor Yang Zhou's inauguration time, he hadn't visited the Red District in a long time.
The people there recognized Shangguan Yu instantly and the manager smiled. "Your Highness, are you looking for Miss Mi?"
"Yes, bring her to me." Shangguan Yu looked at the woman in charge calmly.
"Alright, I'll call her."
Shangguan Yu was brought to a private room and before long, Shangguan Mi walked inside while being half pushed. Her clothes were messy and it was clear that she was told to clean up as fast as possible before she was allowed to enter.
She raised her head and saw Shangguan Yu there. Her body froze in fear as she could remember the scene where she almost died just because he suddenly appeared here.
Gritting her teeth, Shangguan Mi asked, "What do you want, Shangguan Yu?"
"To be calling the name of a royal family members so impudently, do you know the punishment, Shangguan Mi?" Shangguan Yu asked back.
Shangguan Mi then recalled the fact that Shangguan Yu was not only the head of Shangguan Family in the Capital City but also the prince of Fei Yang Kingdom. The Imperial Family's position was absolute, no one would dare to defy them because of the punishment they would be imposed should the matter be brought up.
Because of that, everyone had to be careful with whoever they were interacting with and not discuss the matter of the Imperial Family lightly.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com
Those who dared to offend the Imperial Family openly would be the same as seeking trouble.
"Your Highness," Shangguan Mi corrected her words. However, her tone was still laced with unwillingness.
"The entourage who comes yesterday, they did behave well at night. But before they are settled in the inn, you come to him, didn't you?" Shangguan Yu looked at Shangguan Mi with coldness. "You should know that the punishment for assassination's accomplice was high."
Shangguan Mi's face changed slightly. "What are you saying, Your Highness? I can't get out of this boudoir at all."
"You can't get out but your clients can." Shangguan Yu sneered. He looked at this woman in front of him. "Do you think that I'll protect you when they figured out the connection with you?"
Shangguan Mi's eyes flashed. "You have to protect me! Didn't you already promise that person that you will listen to him."
"Heh, you don't think that mere words can restrain me, do you? There are more people in the world that can replace your position. Do you think you're rare, Shangguan Mi?"
Do you think you're rare?
The question seemed to have poured a cold basin on Shangguan Mi's head.
She knew very well that her position was low and many people could replace her as long Shangguan Yu wanted to. After all, Shangguan Yu didn't have any interest to keep this fake sister of his for a long period of time.
If it was unnecessary, why bother?
"You…"
"You better not think of stepping on two boats. Do you think that Fan Yi Kingdom will appreciate and fancy a scheming and low woman like you?" Shangguan Yu asked before beckoning for the servant behind him to push him away.
Behind him, Shangguan Mi stood rooted on the ground.
All the schemes that she thought and the calculation that she was doing was stripped bare in front of Shangguan Yu.
It was as if there was no secret that could be hidden in front of Shangguan Yu.
Prang!
Throwing the glass on the table, Shangguan Mi clutched her fingers tightly, her nails digging into her flesh. In front of Shangguan Yu, she felt immense helplessness that she never thought she would be experience in her life ever again.
"Shangguan Yu… Shangguan Yu…"
This name was enough to cause nightmare for Shangguan Mi.
"I'm not lose yet, Shangguan Yu. You always look down on me. Because I'm a woman? Because I'm lowly?" Shangguan Mi's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "I'll not admit my defeat. Just you wait Shangguan Yu."
