Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

The punishment for Lan family is the execution of Lan Gao Ya and the grounded of Lan Ping. Lan Ping will be beaten by stick before being grounded in a faraway place for a month. Jun Zhenxian protested heavily, but the emperor is firm on this matter. He can’t possibly bear to lose another aspiring general anymore.

Lan Gao Ya will be executed by beheading and the Lan family didn’t say any rejection. They accepted it thus the punishment will be done in the next day.

”They choose to blame Lan Gao Ya?” Jun Hua had expected this outcome. What makes her curious is the time they set. Why would they choose to execute her just one day after the incident? Usually the execution punishment would take at least a few days, but this time they just choose to do it very quickly.

”Yes Miss.”

”There is something suspicious here. Can she be visited?” Jun Hua closes her book and put it down.

Xia nodded. ”Old Master should be able to gain the permission.”

Jun Hua dressed up and did her makeup. She purposely makes black circles around her eyes, faint but it gives feeling that she didn’t sleep well the night before. Seeing her appearance, she felt lucky that her mother is an expert in terms of applying makeup allowing her to learn about it a lot and could change her appearance as she wishes. After that, Jun Hua wears her veil and walked out.

”Grandpa, I want to meet with Lan Gao Ya.”

Jun Zhenxian looks towards his granddaughter. ”Why do you want to meet with her?”

Jun Hua smiled at her grandfather, ”I have something I want to ask her.”

Seeing the crafty smile at his granddaughter face, he felt that she is truly a troublemaker girl. He wondered whether it’s due to his influence or that brat Jun Qing. If it’s his son, he would surely berate that boy later.

He nodded his head. ”Alright, I will ask for the permission. But be careful.”

”Yes Grandpa.”

In a matter of hours, Jun Hua had arrived in the prison. After being asked a few questions by the guard, they let her in. The prison is dark with thick blood stench and heavy atmosphere. Xia face turned pale. Her job is in Jun family residence, despite the fact that she still has some training. Because of that, she is not used with this amount of blood presented before her.

On the other hand, Jun Hua face didn’t change in the slightest. This is not her first time coming to prison and the condition of this place is better than war prison. At least, they still keep this place tidy.

She quickly arrived at a small prison room. Inside the room is a young girl, sitting on her bed while hugging her feet. Her appearance is haggard, but Jun Hua still recognize the girl appearance.

”Lan Gao Ya, you have a visitor.”

Lan Gao Ya turned her head. Her pupils shrunk the moment she looks at the girl before the bar. Jun Hua walked inside with Xia behind her. The guards left them alone per Jun Hua’s instruction.

”Princess Hua,” Lan Gao Ya greeted. She rose up to her feet and curtsied, but due to sitting too long, she almost falls. However, she quickly steadied herself and didn’t embarrass herself further.

Jun Hua eyes slightly narrowed at the sight of the girl fall. She signaled for her to take a seat and talk straight to the point. ”I just want to ask you, why?”

Lan Gao Ya looks towards the girl before her. Suddenly she remembers herself. She had lost her brother because of some dirty scheme and now she did the same towards other people. Seeing that Jun Hua still trying to keep her appearance, Lan Gao Ya feel bad.

”I was blinded by fame and greed. Living in the Lan family for years, I know how bad we are. After I lose my parents and brother, I vow to live a better live and take revenge towards those who killed them. But, it seems that I have failed.”

Jun Hua knows that if Lan Gao Ya had chosen another person as her target, she might have successful in her scheme. Unfortunately, she meets with her and Jun Hua used that scheme to toy with the Lan family.

”Who do you want to take revenge to?”

Lan Gao Ya raised her head. ”The emperor and my uncle, they are the one who plotted to kill my family.”

Jun Hua wants to applaud that emperor for making a lot of enemies. Out of four big families in the kingdom, three of them have people with irreconcilable grudge with him. Nanglong Soujin, Jun Hua, and now Lan Gao Ya. If only Lan Gao Ya didn’t try to use Jun Min, she might become their ally.

But now, it’s impossible.

”Why are they plotting to kill your parents?”
