700 Ruthless Princess Hu <1>

Nan Hua's eyes flickered when she heard the question. She raised her head and looked straight at Long Qian Xing's gaze, which seemed to be able to see through her. Slowly, she lowered her eyes.

"There will be many things that happen, which one does Brother Long meant?" Nan Hua asked in a soft voice.

Hearing her answer that was in the form of question, Long Qian Xing really felt helpless. If only it was possible, he wanted her to answer him clearly. But he couldn't bring himself to press her for an answer. Looking at her figure, all words Long Qian Xing wanted to say was completely swallowed back.

Forget it.

If she didn't want to say, he would not force her.

Long Qian Xing really felt helpless when he was facing this little girl in front of him. He looked at the garden not far from them and realized that it would be in the middle of the next segment of the selection when they reached the place. After zither and painting, it was naturally embroidery and math.

There was actually nothing much that could be seen anymore.

As Long Qian Xing contemplated whether he should bring Nan Hua back or not, a maidservant came towards them.

"Young Master Long, First Young Miss Nan, Her Highness Princess Hu invited First Young Miss Nan to join her and Princess Mu Fei Xin for a tea."

Nan Hua's eyes narrowed when she heard the request. She turned her head to look at Long Qian Xing as if saying that she had to leave and wanted to know whether he was fine with this or not.

Long Qian Xing's eyes turned murderous for a moment. If only it was possible, he wanted to hack that woman for daring to disturb his and Nan Hua's time. He didn't bring her here just so that she would be dragged into those women's problem.

It seemed that he had to settle the Tu Family much sooner.

"Young Master Long, I'll be leaving first."

"Take care, Young Miss Nan." Long Qian Xing clenched his fist as he watched Nan Hua walked towards the other two women at the side. The feeling was like watching a lamb that was brought into slaughterer and yet there was nothing he could do.

Taking a deep breath, Long Qian Xing then walked to the other side of the palace. He waved his hand, indicating for his men to start watching Nan Hua and for them to move as soon as she was in danger.

If that Princess Hu dared to hurt Nan Hua under his eyes, he would skin her entire family alive.

"Nan Hua greets Your Highness, Princess Hu and Princess Mu."

"There's no need for formalities," Mu Fei Xin was the first to speak. She held a polite smile on her face as she waved her hand. "Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Princess Hu was waving her hand, indicating for the servants to serve tea while looking at Nan Hua. Of course, the only reason why she managed to call Nan Hua here right now was because she suggested that the three of them gathered together. Since the three of them were the only women who didn't participate and only watched the show, it was not that strange.

Mu Fei Xin originally wanted to refuse, but she decided that it was better to accept. If Nan Hua was left behind to fend Princess Hu by herself, she would feel bad.

As for Prince Yang Lu…

He would be fine for the time being. The two brothers needed to have a short talk and Prince Yang Lu was also called to the main hall. Mu Fei Xin naturally didn't know what they were talking about.

Not that she was interested either.

It was more important for her to care about other things in front of others. If the matter was not so serious, Prince Yang Lu would tell her later when they got back home too.

"First Young Miss Nan take a long time walking around with Young Master Long," Princess Hu remarked.

Her remarks sounded nonchalant as if she was only saying it without any intention behind. But Nan Hua could guess that she was saying that Nan Hua was behaving inappropriately to meet with Long Qian Xing alone for such a long time.

"Young Master Long brought me to meet with His Majesty because he wanted to see me." Nan Hua looked at Princess Hu and lowered her head. "As his subject, this one can only stay when His Majesty is talking with Young Master Long."

With this, Nan Hua explained the reason why the walk ended up being so long without leaving any loopholes. If they asked why Nan Hua meet the Emperor, they could just say that the Emperor wanted to see the girl who will marry Young Master Long in the future.

As for why it took a long time?

That was naturally because Emperor Yang Zhou and Young Master Long talked for a long period of time. The two of them were study partners and had been known to be good friend. Even if they spent an incense stick of time talking, no one would dare to disturb them.

What could they say?

They wanted to disturb the Emperor?

They better seek for a hole to die if they wanted to do that.

Princess Hu's lips trembled when she heard that. She really wanted to catch Nan Hua in bad light because only by doing that would she feel better. The fact that Nan Hua was part of that family alone was more than enough for her to vent her hatred.

Because of them, Tu Family had also suffered.

They won but not without price to pay.

That was why Princess Hu had deep hatred when she saw their descendant such as Nan Hua and Nan Luo. She couldn't exactly do anything to Nan Luo, so Nan Hua became her target.

"Please have some tea."

Nan Hua looked at the tea in front of her. It was even worse than Princess Yue back then.

If the poison that Princess Yue gave back then would only affect them at large amount and long period of consumption, this poison would almost certainly cause problem for her within an incense stick of time.

Princess Hu really wanted her to die.
