Chapter 74 - The Matter Of The Court

Old Master Nan watched his granddaughter's expression and he laughed faintly. "Are you thinking of helping the Imperial Family deal with them? There's no need. As for them making trouble for you... You can just ignore them."

"Alright."

Nan Hua then realized that Emperor Yang Zhou's problem wouldn't be settled with just eliminating Hai Family. There might be some matters that needed to be dealt with, thus it was not that simple.

Drap! Drap! Drap!

Bang!

"Hua'er!" Nan Hua pushed the door open and rushed over to her. He reached out his hand and hugged Nan Hua from the back. "Hua'er, please hug me! I almost died last night and need a comfort!"

Kick!

Old Master Nan mercilessly kicked his grandson away. He glared at the young boy. "What almost died? That's because you're so bad at controlling your strength that you suffer wounds! If you had practiced more, you wouldn't have suffered so much."

Nan Luo was speechless.

Fine, he was the one at wrong. So, can he hug his twin sister now?

Nan Hua lowered her gaze and noticed that there were several scratches on Nan Luo's body. Most of them had been tended, but she could guess that it must have been hard for him to deal with First Commander Hai even with Long Qian Xing's help.

'It's good that I deal with the adjutant first, then.'

If Nan Luo and Long Qian Xing had to deal with the adjutant too on top of their previous battle, it wouldn't have been easy for them.

She raised her hand and patted Nan Luo's head. Since she was sitting on Old Master Nan's lap, her hand could reach Nan Luo's head easily. "You did great."

Nan Luo beamed.

"Tsk, you shouldn't praise him! He'll get it to his head and no longer work hard," Old Master Nan chided.

Old Master Nan knew the two prime ministers very well. There will be several factions in the palace and it was only obvious that Emperor Yang Zhou's faction was one of the weakest one. By sparing Prince Yang Lu, it would also sustain another faction that could possibly contend against the other factions.

This situation was not the best.

If it was not settled well in four years' time, it was clear that Fei Yang Kingdom would fall into chaos. The war had been in their favor but the balance was very fragile. During Emperor Xuan's reign, the power had been diminishing and the powerful generals during the previous emperor's reign had started to grow old and left the world one by one.

Old General Long, Long Qian Xing's grandfather, was one of the few great generals back then.

Old Master Nan himself was no longer in his peak condition and had to rest. However, he knew that this condition wouldn't last for long.

War would not wait for anyone.

"Being an Emperor is so troublesome." Nan Luo scrunched his face. He felt that if he chose to become an official, he would surely be pulled into so many schemes that he didn't even know who was who.

Old Master Nan laughed. "It's troublesome, but it's also the position with the highest power. Alright, the discussion stops here. You two still have to train."

"In this cold winter?"

"Of course!"

Nan Hua jumped off Old Master Nan's lap and walked to the field. Behind her, Nan Luo was still grumbling since he could already feel the cold seeping through his not so thick clothes.

"Also, Ah Luo, you have to make your reflection tonight."

"WHa...? Tonight?"

"Finish your training first."

"Noo...." Nan Luo wailed dejectedly as he knew that there wouldn't be any time for him to rest.

Nan Hua patted her twin brother's shoulder as encouragement.. But of course, she would not help him write it.
