Chapter 416 The Aftermath

Chapter 416 The Aftermath

Bang!

The soldiers under Great General Nan rushed into the palace, killing the guards there and rushed inside. However, the sight that greeted them was not the sight of Prince Yang Lu leading Hai Family.

Instead, it was Prince Yang Lu who stood in front of them without even any weapon with so many officials behind him. They all showed no sign of fighting.

"Whoa..." Nan Luo's eyes widened.

"Anyone can explain what happened here?" Old Master Nan saw Nan Hua stood with her silver mask, so he knew that she was not against them. However, he had to know what had happened here.

One of the officials stepped forward to explain everything. Of course, he omitted some of them and only stated that Prince Yang Lu fought bravely while in fact the prince was threatened. In addition, he also said that Prince Yang Lu never had any intention and it was all because of Hai Family fault.

The soldiers were all stunned when they heard the story. As some of them cleaned up the mess Old Master Nan and a few soldiers were busy listening to what these people said about the story.

"Hai Family is ambitious." Old Master Nan nodded in agreement. He glanced at Prince Yang Lu. "Hai Family blood runs in your body, Your Highness. Don't you have the same perception as them?"

Prince Yang Lu knew that it would be very hard to convince others about his innocence. However, he didn't want to run.

"I admit that my mother was from Hai Family and longs for power. However, I swear to the Heaven that I didn't lie. If I lie, may I be struck by lightning," Prince Yang Lu said seriously.

In this era, swearing on one's life was the sign that they would be saying the truth. It was because they all believed that if they dared to swear on their life, it meant that they would be saying the truth.

Old Master Nan nodded. "It's still the truth that you're part of Hai Family. I'll give the report to His Majesty."

"Thank you, Great General Nan."

Especially the Emperor.

To be able to sit in that seat meant that he had extraordinary capabilities. However, he was also someone who would not tolerate it if there was anyone who dared to scheme against him to take the throne.

Even now, the Capital City was filled with the smell of blood because of his battle with the Prime Minister.

It was so tiring.

"I see. You have done well." Old Master Nan was silent for a moment. "Take some rest. I would like to ask you more later with the brats."

"Yes."

With that, Nan Hua finally went and have some rest.

In truth, Old Master Nan only sought the children the next day because he was too busy reporting the matter and cleaned up the mess. The children were looking at how he did it because they would surely be told to do the same in the future.

Nan Hua also resumed her identity back and no longer stayed as Nan.

While Ku had long disappeared once more.

'They managed to run away in time.' Nan Hua looked at the bamboo stick in her hand. It was the report from Dark Moon Organization that she managed to get since Ku delivered it by acting as the maid here. Before Old Master Nan even arrived here, they had long departed from the scene.

However, it was impossible to completely erase the trace.

There would be someone who would notice the truth of what happened in that place. Though, they might not connect it with Dark Moon Organization directly.

Nan Hua looked at the bamboo stick for a while before tossing it to the fireplace. It would be winter soon, which meant that she would also turn 13 in a few more days. The snow will erase more traces that she had left behind.

It was not that bad.
