Chapter 238: The Flower in the Bloody Field
As they went closer to the southern borders there was heavy rain and the roads he’d all become mushy and they had to switch to a simple carriage to travel.
When they reached the battlefield a thick stench of medicines and blood entered Xing’s nose despite the muddy smell from the constant rain. The dry lands that hadn’t seen rain for years that used to be cracked now looked like a mushy swamp.
The Emperor’s carriage went in the front and he was received by the military officials and the generals who were present.
When Xing stepped foot on the ground she was creeped out by the irky voice she had almost forgotten for a long time... The one person she used to hate a lot. .. Turns out she still hates him!
"Your Highness! May you live a thousand years",Lord Chu bowed in front of her.
Xing who was covered with a veil rolled her eyes freely and sighed. Isn’t the entire Chu family supposed to die? Why is he still alive?
"Your Highness! May you live a thousand years" another sweet voice like wind chimes distracted her from the murderous thoughts Xing had at the moment.
Xing turned to look at the source of that voice to see a maiden so fair as snow with eyes like a doe and cheeks bushed pink of embarrassment like a pomegranate and her dark brown hair was done in an unmarried girl’s hairdo fixed with gold hairpins that added to her beauty and she was wearing a peach coloured Hanfu that complimented her snow white skin tone.
"He... He ... Your highness! This is my elder daughter Chu Weiye... I brought her here to help your highness in your stay here...", Lord Chu said bowing and Xing wanted to hit hard in that bald head that was facing her.
How could he bring such a beautiful flower to this bloody warfield? Does he not care that the ones with Chu blood are getting sick and dying?
Then Xing realised what this lowly filth of a father is planning. He knew that the Emperor would be here and to get his daughter get good exposure to the Emperor, he is trying to fix her with the Empress.
Retarded filth! To further his agenda, he is putting his daughter’s life at risk! But how could he had made such a beautiful daughter?
