C2744 My Brother Is Dead
"Her Highness the Princess, the previous Emperor went due to illness five days ago. The Eleventh Prince ascended the throne with the support of Noble Consort Wu and Minister Wu." That general said to Princess Qi, "In addition, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he gave the order to announce that Her Highness the Princess has already married to the Fengjue Country. She is no longer a member of the Great Lu Dynasty and cannot allow you to enter the pass as you wish. This is to prevent you from prying into the military situation of our Great Lu Dynasty. Thus... That's why I hesitated to open the city gate."
"What? You said that Royal Brother is dead?" Princess Qi heard the guard's words and her body trembled. Her face turned pale and she could not believe her ears.
In fact, Princess Qi did not believe the guard's words. She did not think that the guard was lying to her. This kind of thing... No one dared to speak nonsense. Princess Qi did not believe it. One should know that her Royal Brother had passed away due to illness. Her Royal Brother was in the prime of his life, and his health had always been very good. How could he have suddenly passed away due to an illness? This didn't make sense.
This kind of bad news was something Princess Qi did not think of before. It was also something she could not accept. Although her Royal Brother had married her to the Fengjue Country previously, but... Princess Qi did not hate her Royal Brother because of this. Instead, she sympathized with him. She knew that her Royal Brother had his own difficulties and had no other choice. Therefore, she had never hated her Royal Brother.
Although Princess Qi had already decided to stay with Huang Feng, however, in her heart, she was also very reluctant to part with Royal Brother. This time, she was prepared to take a good look at Royal Brother, but she didn't expect that. She had just entered the Great Lu Dynasty realm, but she had already received such grievous news. She couldn't see her own Royal Brother ever again. Ever since her parents died... Her Royal Brother was the one who treated her the best. Now... How could Princess Qi not be sad that he had died?
"Yes, the late Emperor has already left." The general affirmed once again.
"You just said that the Eleventh Prince inherited the throne?" Princess Qi was sad but also remembered the contents of the general's words. There was doubt on her sad face.
The Emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty, which was also Princess Qi's Royal Brother. However, he had more than one son. Ever since he inherited the throne, he had been in an orderly manner. The Eleventh Prince was only a two-year-old child. In front of him... There were still a few other princes. No matter how they lined up, they should not have been able to reach him. Furthermore, what could a two-year-old child understand? Could he lead their Great Lu Dynasty to its revival? Wasn't this nonsense?
"It is indeed the throne that the Eleventh Prince inherited." That general said, "Noble Consort Wu and Minister Wu both support it."
"Of course they support it. The Eleventh Prince is the son of Imperial Concubine Wu!" Princess Qi said angrily.
Princess Qi had always been at odds with Noble Consort Wu. In the matter of her distant marriage to the Fengjue Country, Minister Wu also played a disgraceful role, which made Princess Qi have even less favorable impression of their Wu Family. And now, the other few were even older. The princes who were more qualified to inherit the throne did not ascend the throne. Instead, the youngest Eleventh Prince ascended the throne. This made Princess Qi feel that this matter might not be that simple.
The general did not say anything. The new Emperor had ascended the throne. Princess Qi could express her dissatisfaction. After all, she was a member of the royal family, but he could not. No matter what he thought before, he could not say anything bad about the new emperor now. Otherwise, he wouldn't have any good results.
"Huang Feng, you have to help me." Princess Qi turned to look at Huang Feng and said, "This matter is very strange. I, Royal Brother, have always been in good health. It is impossible for me to suddenly die of illness. Someone must have harmed me. Furthermore, there was something strange about the ascension of the Eleventh Prince. He was just a two-year-old child. He doesn't know anything. As the emperor, the entire Great Lu Dynasty is in the hands of Noble Consort Wu and Minister Wu."
Princess Qi grew up in the Imperial Palace after all, even if she wasn't good at palace fights. But for some things, it's still sensitive. Although she had just arrived here, from the words of the guards, she already knew a lot of things and had many doubts in her heart.
Huang Feng nodded his head. With his relationship with Princess Qi, since Princess Qi had spoken, he definitely had to help her with this matter. Originally, he was prepared to bring Princess Qi back to meet Royal Brother. However, such a thing had happened. Huang Feng had never thought that it would happen. Furthermore, after the new Emperor ascended the throne, he actually didn't want Princess Qi to come back. That brat naturally didn't know anything. Now... This order was given by Imperial Concubine Wu or Minister Wu. Huang Feng had even more reason to bring Princess Qi to take a look. What exactly happened in the Great Lu Dynasty Imperial Palace?
Hearing Princess Qi's words, the guard looked at Huang Feng and guessed in his heart about Huang Feng's identity. Someone who could make Princess Qi ask for help must not be an ordinary person.
However, he did not know Huang Feng and had no impression of him. After thinking for a while, he did not remember who Huang Feng was.
Regarding the matter outside of the pass, the guard naturally knew about it. The changes outside the pass these few days could be described as too much to take in. The Yuan Feng Country, which had always been at a disadvantage, had actually risen up in one fell swoop. After defeating the powerful Fengjue Country and unifying the pass, many people were shocked. This included the general who was guarding the gate. Their Great Lu Dynasty had even defeated the Fengjue Country. But... Now that the Yuan Feng Country could defeat the Fengjue Country, wouldn't it be even more powerful than the Fengjue Country? If that was the case, they would be even more unable to defeat the ___. Therefore, he was somewhat nervous. It was normal for him to be cautious.
However, regarding the details of how the Yuan Feng Country defeated the Fengjue Country... The general didn't know about it yet, so he naturally wouldn't know about Huang Feng's existence. In fact, even if he knew that there was a person like Huang Feng... However, since he had never seen Huang Feng before... He still couldn't recognize Huang Feng.
"You guys are being so cautious. Are you guys guarding the people outside the pass?" Huang Feng asked the general.
Although he did not know the exact identity of Huang Feng, he was able to follow Princess Qi. Furthermore, it was obvious that he wasn't a servant, so the general didn't dare to look down on him. He said, "Part of the reason is to guard against people outside the pass. After all, the Yuan Feng Country outside the pass suddenly rose up. Who doesn't know what their next step is? Also, we need to guard against the Rebellion Force within the Great Lu Dynasty."
No one knew better than Huang Feng what the Yuan Feng Country was going to do next. Simply put, it was to rest and recuperate. There was no intention of attacking the Great Lu Dynasty. According to Huang Feng's arrangement, the Yuan Feng Country would not be fighting any more battles in the short term. Everything would be stable and economically developed.
