Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

”Why did everything turn like this?” Yang held his head as he was sitting inside his carriage. He was terribly tired because he has been straining himself to fulfill his need. Right now his head still felt very heavy, and he couldn’t think straight. That news hit him at the most unlikely times for him.

”Your Highness, this is the first store,” the driver said carefully.

Yang got out from the carriage with the help of his servant. After being berated heavily in the middle of the night just the night before, he was still feeling rather resentful towards his bad luck. He wanted to clear his mind by enjoying himself from last night until this afternoon when the news hit him for good.

Before him stood a noble he was familiar with. He was one of the members of the prestigious family in this kingdom. The other party was looking at him disdainfully as if he was the dirtiest person in the entire world.

As a prince, how can he bear such a look directed at him?

”What is it, Marquis Zhen?” he asked in a straightforward manner.

Marquis Zhen pointed to the antique by his side, ”I buy this from your store two days ago, but when I try to have an expert examines it, he said that this antique is a replica. From what I know, your store supposed to make a genuine one, do you have any explanation, Prince Yang?”

Yang felt a headache. He knew that the other party was a rather straightforward man, so he tried to alienate the situation.

”I will punish my servants for giving you a fake item,” he said, ”Please wait here while I clear up the problem.”

The marquis snorted, ”There is no need Your Highness. I will just leave the antique here and take my money back. I don’t need it anymore.”

Yang wanted to persuade the other party, but he didn’t even want to listen to him. Even worse than that, Marquis Zhen kept on giving him a disdainful look. Does he not worry about the emperor accusation of him being disrespectful towards an imperial family member?

The servant by his side opened his mouth in a terrified manner, ”Your Highness, maybe you need to look at a mirror.”

The prince passes the servant a dark look. Although he was in a hurry, there was no way he would have forgotten to put his clothes neatly. With a grunt, he took the mirror from the side and look at himself. Finally, he understood why the marquis put a disdainful look towards him.

His clothes were neat, but there were a lot of marks from his activity the night before. Not to mention that his face was full of women makeup… why did he not realize them sooner? And his smell…

”Prepare a bath, now!” he bellowed to his servant.

Before long another batch of servants came to report to him about other troubles in his stores. Many of them were being broken without repair or experiencing a massive problem. The prince stood in front of his store with a dark face. Why did this all happen to him? Before he could listen to the explanation of his servant further, he felt a sharp pain and vomited a mouthful of blood before fainting in his spot, sending his servant into a flurry.

”That should do,” not far from his place, Jun Hua smirked at the result of her tampering. She looked around, ”time to go back.”

”Wow, Yan, that prince is even worse than you.”

The sound of people talking from the inn beside her caused her step to falter. Jun Hua turned her head towards the inn. It was the sound of Ming Hui, right? Did that man also come here with Soujin and Yan? Because of her curiosity, she peeked from the mirror while concealing her presence.

Yan looked towards Ming Hui with a dark face, ”What do you mean by worse? I would never even step into a place like that Northern Valley or anything.”

”It’s Northern Pavilion,” Ming Hui corrected the other party, ”But you have gone to that kind of place before, right?”

”That was for a mission, and I didn’t even touch them!”

”At the very least, you’re looking at them,” Ming Hui added.

Yan couldn’t retort to the other party as he stared with a resentful expression.

Jun Hua tried to hold her laugh as she looked around the room. There were many other people who were sitting in that dining hall. No matter how she looked, she couldn’t find that man. Was he still away from this place?

She tried not to think too much as she walked away from that place towards the sickly prince residence. Inside the room, Prince You was looking at the report with a weird expression. He knew that Yang was furious, but could he faint from being so angry, especially in front of the crowd like that?

”Are you curious?” Jun Hua’s voice caused him to wake up from his ponder.

Prince You looked to the girl in front of him with a frown. He didn’t even notice the other party appearance in this place and from the latter’s expression, he knew that it must be something she did.

”What did you do to him?” he asked.

”I just send news towards the other nobles that the prince has been selling fake goods,” Jun Hua answered. In any case, she knew that it was true from what Yan told her because that troublemaker prince once complained at how poor the stores in Kai Kingdom were.

Prince You looked in disbelief, ”How did it cause things to happen this way?”

”Some of them are too weak to face Prince Yang upfront, so they send people to cause trouble,” Jun Hua smirked, ”Just imagine when a lot of customers you have been giving fake goods all cause rebels at once, that’s what happened to Prince Yang.”

Prince You shudders at the thought because he knew that the reputation of Yang has been going downhill during this time and all of them are because of the person called Jun Min and this person before him. He wonders just what did that brother of his do to offend the person before him.

”Did Prince Yang offend you in some way?”

Jun Hua blinked at that question. Her second meeting with Prince Yang was from the war between Ming Kingdom and Yuan Kingdom. At that time, she decided to not kill the other party to give the Yuan Kingdom a warning about their capability in order to stall some time before the start of the next big war in order to let her family have enough time to get out from the kingdom.

But the other party tried to attack the Mountain Kingdom to get his revenge towards Jun Min. Once again she let him go and didn’t do anything other than scaring him out of his wits.

As for her first meeting with him… Jun Hua’s face darkened at that memory. During her time as an ordinary soldier and fought against the Yuan Kingdom, she has met with the other party once during a war. At that time she didn’t have a high enough rank to affect the entire battlefield, but she managed to infiltrate Yuan Kingdom headquarters.

It was then she found a disgusting view of a leader who left his work to his men and didn’t do any work. That pile of women’s body she found, she no longer wanted to remember that anymore. At that time she was about to charge at him in anger, but she didn’t manage to do it because of the other party skilled guards and she was forced to flee the place after making quite a ruckus.

”He does,” Jun Hua answered, her voice cold as ice. She would just use him since it was really easy to make him fall with the numerous dirty tricks he did behind his father back.

Prince You decided to shut his mouth for good because he noticed the other party dark expression. In any case, he didn’t want to make his end miserable too.
