1During this period of time, Princess Qi was not only worried about Huang Feng, she was also worried about her Royal Brother.    

    

Because they were already far away from the Great Lu Dynasty, and it was also very chaotic outside the pass during this period of time. Therefore, Princess Qi had no way to use any channels. She knew about the situation over at the Great Lu Dynasty, but she knew about it before. The Rebellion Force within the Great Lu Dynasty had colluded with the countries outside of the pass, and their strength had increased to a certain extent. With this, it would be much harder for the Imperial Court to suppress them.    

    

Therefore, Princess Qi was actually worried about the situation over at the Great Lu Dynasty. However, she also knew that she was just a female and was outside of the pass. There was no way she could help at all. There was no point in worrying anymore.    

    

However, it was different now. Huang Feng's identity was very different from before. If the Great Lu Dynasty was really in danger, even if she was thick-skinned, she would still ask Huang Feng for help.    

    

"Don't worry. Nothing will happen." Huang Feng saw the worry in Princess Qi's heart and comforted her.    

    

However, Huang Feng also did not understand the situation of the Great Lu Dynasty. He had not been there before and had been outside the pass during this period of time. He was concerned about the matters in the pass, so he didn't have the extra energy to care about the situation in the distant Great Lu Dynasty. Therefore, he said these words purely to comfort Princess Qi.    

    

Princess Qi nodded her head. Anyway, they were heading towards the Great Lu Dynasty now. As for what exactly was going on there, they would know once they arrived there.    

    

However, when the three of them drove for a few days, when they arrived at the border of the Great Lu Dynasty and the pass, an unusual aura appeared there. They discovered that the soldiers here seemed to be very nervous and on high alert. It was as if they were guarding against some enemy.    

    

"What's wrong? Are they guarding against foreign countries?" Princess Qi also felt that the atmosphere here was unusual and said with some doubt.    

    

The reason why she felt doubtful was because Princess Qi felt that... If it was just to guard against the foreign countries, there was no need to be so nervous. Because, other countries outside of the pass, other than the time when they wanted to destroy the marriage alliance, other than the Fengjue Country, the other countries had a good relationship with the Great Lu Dynasty. There was not much tension between them.    

    

Furthermore, during this period of time, the countries outside the pass had been fighting amongst themselves. The battle was very intense, and they had no intention of attacking the Great Lu Dynasty. Presumably, the Great Lu Dynasty must have known about this as well. Therefore, there was no need for them to be so nervous.    

    

Even someone like Princess Qi, who didn't know much about military affairs, could notice something unusual, let alone Huang Feng. He had just arrived at the border pass when he found something unusual about this place.    

    

"Let's go in and find someone to ask." They had just arrived here and did not know anything. Instead of guessing randomly, they might as well go in and find someone to ask.    

    

"Okay." Princess Qi nodded and said, "I have seen the general of this place before. He should still remember me."    

    

"Okay." Huang Feng nodded.    

    

"Who is it?! This place is not allowed to enter, leave at once!" As soon as the carriage approached the city walls, it was warned by the soldiers on the city walls. Some of the soldiers had even nocked arrows at them, which showed how tense the atmosphere in the city was.    

    

"Inside the carriage is your Great Lu Dynasty's Princess Qi. We want to see your general." Because they did not want to become enemies with the defending troops here, so... Huang Feng didn't choose to barge in. Instead, he brought out Princess Qi. After all, Princess Qi had just said that the guards here also knew her.    

    

As Huang Feng spoke, Princess Qi also came out of the carriage and stood beside Huang Feng. She looked at the soldiers on the city wall and said loudly, "I am Princess Qi from the Imperial Court. Quickly open the city gate!"    

    

The soldiers on the city wall were obviously hesitant. They were just ordinary soldiers and did not know Princess Qi, so they immediately went to inform the guards here.    

    

"Please wait a moment. Our lord will be here soon." The soldier who had just spoken spoke again. Obviously, before confirming Princess Qi's identity, he did not have the intention to open the city gate.    

    

Such a situation made Huang Feng and Princess Qi even more worried and doubtful. By right, the relationship between the Great Lu Dynasty and the other countries outside of the pass was not too tense. Especially after the ceasefire with the Fengjue Country, a temporary peace had been achieved. Why was the city gate tightly shut, and even a carriage was not allowed to enter?    

    

Furthermore, they had been here for a while, but they had not seen a single person. Coming out of the city was also very surprising. Even during the war with the Fengjue Country, there would often be Great Lu Dynasty merchants coming out to do business. Not to mention now, there should be even more merchants coming out from their seclusion. But in the end, no one came out.    

    

Perhaps, these doubts could only be known when they saw the general guarding this place.    

    

Huang Feng and the others weren't worried about whether they could see the general who guarded this place. Even if the general did not come to see Princess Qi or did not recognize her. Huang Feng had the ability to bring Princess Qi and Xiao Huan into the city. Furthermore, he saw the general.    

    

Fortunately, the general didn't give Huang Feng the chance to barge in. Not long after, he appeared on top of the city wall and leaned his body forward. He carefully looked at the carriage outside the pass and quickly confirmed Princess Qi's identity. Princess Qi was not wrong. The general indeed knew her.    

    

However, what surprised Huang Feng and Princess Qi was that... After the guard recognized Princess Qi's identity, he did not immediately open the city gate. Instead, he was a little hesitant, which made Huang Feng and Princess Qi even more certain. Something must have happened to the Great Lu Dynasty.    

    

Just as Princess Qi was about to speak again, the guard finally let someone open the city gate and let Princess Qi and Huang Feng in. He himself also came down from the city wall.    

    

Princess Qi carried doubt and anger as she entered the city. When she saw the guard, she said with an ugly expression, "Since you have already recognized this princess's identity, why didn't you open the city gate immediately?"    

    

"Her Highness the Princess, calm down." The general apologized first but there was not much fear and nervousness on his face, "This general let you in and took a huge risk."    

    

"What do you mean? I can't return to the court yet?" Princess Qi said angrily.    

    

"Her Highness the Princess doesn't know. During the time you were away from the Imperial Pass, something happened to the Great Lu Dynasty. Now, the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty is not your Royal Brother, but your nephew." The general said.    

    

"What? What did you say?!" Princess Qi could not believe her ears. How long had it been since she left, and the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty had changed? How old was she, Royal Brother? How could she abdicate?    

    

Princess Qi suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
