Chapter 706: Ambitious Shangguan Yu

Nan Hua was speechless.        
   
She looked at Long Qian Xing and wondered what did she do to give that kind of image to this young man. For some reason, she felt that his image of her would be fixed on this phrase.    

"The drawing room in in this place. Would you like to change clothes first?" Long Qian Xing noticed that Nan Hua's sleeve was a bit wet. Looking at the location, it looked more like she purposely poured some tea to her sleeve.    

His eyes narrowed at that thought.    

This was quite a common trick that his grandmother told him when one didn't want to drink something but had to on the surface. He must check what had those servants prepared for Nan Hua under Princess Hu's order.    

"Mhm. Is there any empty place, Brother Long?" Nan Hua asked.    

"I can bring you to a secluded place. Do you bring any change?" Long Qian Xing somehow recalled that this kind of incident where Nan Hua had to change her clothes had happened in the past too. Back then, it happened at Long Family Residence, though.    

"Xiao Yun has them."    

"Alright, follow me."    

Long Qian Xing led Nan Hua to the outer area where the servants were located. Upon seeing Nan Hua, Xiao Yun quickly procured the robe that was already prepared. For these noble ladies, they always have to bring an additional dress in case something happened when they were inside.    

There were a lot of empty palaces and Long Qian Xing randomly picked one for Nan Hua to change her clothes into. After she had changed her clothes, Nan Hua simply followed Long Qian Xing back to the drawing room area.    

It was this time that a manservant came forward while carrying Princess Hu like he was carrying a sack.    

"Young Master," the manservant called out.    

Nan Hua looked at Princess Hu, who was mumbling some words but couldn't think straight. The poison that Long Qian Xing took from her would exactly show this kind of effect, but it would not completely erase their consciousness.    

They simply would see what they wanted to see.    

"Who had she prepared?" Long Qian Xing pointed at the room beside the drawing room where Empress Dowager Yan would bring the servants.    

"Replying to Young Master, the one inside is Shangguan Yu."    

Shangguan Yu?    

Nan Hua rarely heard this name, but she still knew this person. Shangguan Yu was the first son of Commander Shangguan and also a concubine born son who was not favored in his residence. He was crippled a few years ago because of an incident and since then, he had been roaming around on a wheelchair.    

Many people were not optimistic about his future because of his current condition. However, they wouldn't say anything in front of him because of the Shangguan Family behind Shangguan Yu.    

Who would want to dig their early grave?    

Even if he was crippled, he was still part of the Shangguan Family. No matter how unfavored he was, it was still not at the level where he could be mocked openly by outsiders.    

A light flashed within Nan Hua's eyes when she recalled the original story.    

"Hua'er, wait here."    

"Yes, Brother Long."    

Long Qian Xing strode into the room and opened the door. He noticed that Shangguan Yu was sitting next to an incense burner without his wheelchair around. It seemed that the wheelchair had been removed in advance to make sure that he would stay here.
