On the narrow road, Huang Feng drove the carriage forward. Princess Qi sat beside him. Her face was gloomy and sad. Obviously, she was still immersed in the matter of Royal Brother's sudden death.    

"Do you know?" Princess Qi looked into the distance with empty eyes. She said slowly, "Ever since my mother died, the palace has been so big. Only Royal Brother and I are the closest to each other. He doted on me very much. Everyone in the palace said that Royal Brother treats me better than his princesses. I am the most unconstrained princess in the entire palace. The fact was that it was because of Royal Brother's care. I am able to grow up without any worries, unlike the other princes. The princesses were bound by so many restrictions. It could be said that... Royal Brother is my elder brother and also an existence like father to me. My heart is very attached to him, even if he marries me to the Fengjue Country. I have never hated him."    

Princess Qi's eyes looked forward as she kept talking about the matter between her and Royal Brother. She couldn't help but reveal a smile that came from the bottom of her heart. However... Those smiles were soon replaced by sadness. It could be seen that she missed Royal Brother in her heart.    

Huang Feng patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be sad. I believe that you, Royal Brother, won't be willing to see your sad face."    

"Wuuu..." Princess Qi immediately lied in Huang Feng's arms and cried, "I, Royal Brother, love me the most. I never want to see me sad. As long as I am not happy, he will satisfy me."    

Princess Qi had always wanted to cry when she knew that she, Royal Brother, had died. However, at that time, there was an outsider present, so she had to bear with it. Now, there was no outsider in front of her. In front of Huang Feng... She finally broke down and burst into tears. It was heartbreaking.    

"Cry, cry, you'll be fine once you cry." Huang Feng patted Princess Qi's back as he comforted her.    

To be honest, although Huang Feng had a lot of women, but... As for how to comfort women, especially women who were crying... He really didn't have much experience. At this time, Princess Qi only needed to vent more. She didn't really need to comfort him.    

Huang Feng's words made Princess Qi cry even more sadly. Xiao Huan, who was in the carriage, also shed tears. As Princess Qi's personal bodyguard, palace maid. She knew all about the relationship between Princess Qi and Royal Brother. Therefore, she could completely understand Princess Qi's current feelings.    

Princess Qi cried in Huang Feng's arms for a long time before she gradually calmed down. At this time, she realized that she had been here for such a long time. She had been lying in Huang Feng's arms all along. This made her shy and at the same time. She enjoyed it a little. She wanted to get up, but she missed Huang Feng's embrace.    

However, in the end, Princess Qi still got up from Huang Feng's arms. When she was thinking about Royal Brother previously, she did not feel that there was anything wrong with this posture. However, now that she realized it, she felt a little awkward.    

Of course, she still wanted to stay in Huang Feng's arms very much. However, she was also afraid that Huang Feng would misunderstand that she was a casual person. Therefore, although she was reluctant to stay in Huang Feng's arms, she still got up.    

"Feeling better?" Huang Feng looked at Princess Qi and asked.    

"Yes." Princess Qi's face was slightly red as she nodded and said, "Thank you."    

"You are welcome." Huang Feng said, "When we go to the capital city of your Great Lu Dynasty and find out the situation, if there is really something wrong with your death, I will definitely help you."    

"En!" Princess Qi nodded her head heavily. Even now, she felt that Royal Brother's death was not that simple. There must be something strange about it.    

At the same time, there was not much sadness in the Great Lu Dynasty's capital. Although the previous Emperor had just died not long ago, the new Emperor had already ascended the throne. Most of the ministers had shifted their attention to the new Emperor. As the saying goes, a man can be a minister in a day. He also wanted to be in the hands of the new emperor. He wanted to keep his position, or even take a step further.    

Of course, it was not that there were no ministers who wanted to see the death of the previous Emperor. It was just that the entire Great Lu Dynasty was now controlled by Noble Consort Wu and Minister Wu. Even if there were people who suspected the late emperor's death, there was no way to investigate. It seemed like there were people secretly stopping all investigations regarding the cause of the new Emperor's death.    

Currently, the entire Great Lu Dynasty was the sole ruler of the Wu family. Although on the surface, it was the Eleventh Prince who ascended to the throne, but, you know, the one who really controls the big picture, it was Noble Consort Wu and Minister Wu. Even if they had investigated the cause of the late Emperor's death, so what? The person was already dead. The New Emperor and the Wu family did not care about the late emperor's death. Even if the investigation was done, no one would stand out to uphold justice.    

Because of this, although there were people who were unwilling and doubtful, there was no one who stood out to demand an explanation for the death of the previous emperor.    

This situation was under Wu Yan's surveillance. He was very satisfied with this situation.    

In fact, after the death of the late emperor, Wu Yan had used his authority. He had mobilized people to monitor the hundreds of officials in the palace of the Great Lu Dynasty. There was a team that was specifically used to monitor the hundred officials. This team had always been hidden in the darkness, and the officials knew of their existence. However, they did not know their specific identity, nor did they know their numbers. This team had always only listened to the Emperor.    

And now, the previous Emperor had died, the new Emperor had ascended the throne, and the team used to monitor hundreds of officials... Naturally, the new emperor would be in charge, and the new emperor would only be two years old. Thus, the important matters in the court were discussed and handled by Wu Yan and a few other ministers. And Wu Yan was the most powerful one among them. Therefore, the team that was used to monitor the officials had indirectly fallen into Wu Yan's hands.    

After Wu Yan gained control of the team, he immediately asked them to increase their surveillance on the officials. If those people had any unusual movements, they would immediately remind him. Especially if they wanted to investigate the cause of the death of the late Emperor, they had to remind him at the first possible moment.    

Fortunately, through those people's surveillance, although the officials were very curious about the cause of the death of the late Emperor, there were also some who were very doubtful. However, there was no one who really started the investigation, which made Wu Yan feel relieved.    

The reason why Wu Yan was afraid of those officials investigating the late emperor's death was because... The late emperor's death was planned by him! Although he didn't kill the late emperor directly, he was the mastermind behind all of this. And the person who personally killed the Deceased Emperor was Noble Consort Wu!
