Ren Junhe gave the order without asking what had happened. She knew Ren Fengyan quite well; this daughter was her most beloved child besides Ren Fengyue, and she had high hopes for her.
Ren Fengyue is, after all, a man. The reason he is disguised as a woman is only to make his succession to the throne more legitimate. But if the truth is revealed, the court officials and the people will not let him off the hook and allow him to ascend the throne again. Ren Fengyan is undoubtedly his way out.
For someone to be favored by Ren Junhe, they must have some ability. The fact that Ren Fengyan, who was healthy and without any illness or disaster, would not suddenly die means that someone must have done something to harm him.
The escape route she had prepared for Ren Fengyue had now been cut off. She wondered if the troop deployment seal she had given to Ren Fengyan was still there, or if it had been taken away.
Ren Junhe's heart pounded wildly; she couldn't imagine what this thing would bring to the Thousand Flower Kingdom if it fell into the hands of thieves.
The men below, unaware of Ren Junhe's worries, hastily knelt down: "Your Majesty, we will certainly not fail in our mission and will find the murderer as soon as possible. We only hope that Your Majesty will forgive our sins and not hold our dereliction of duty against us." The officials who received the decree were so frightened that they trembled and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Inside the main hall, Yu Junshi, relieved to receive the good news, immediately fainted.
"Jade Lord's attendant!" The accompanying servants exclaimed in surprise, quickly supporting the person and hurriedly carrying him out.
Ren Junhe sighed and instructed Xizi, who was serving beside him, "Yu Jun has suffered such a great calamity. It is fate and destiny. Perhaps it is also my fault. I pity his pain of losing his son, so I will promote his rank and confer upon him the title of Noble Lady."
Xi Zi flattered from the side, saying, "Your Majesty is benevolent, and Attendant Yu Jun will understand Your Majesty's good intentions."
Ren Junhe glared at her without saying a word, but Xizi was so frightened by that glare that her legs went weak.
Thinking back to myself, I realized I hadn't said anything wrong. Oh well, I should say less in the future!
Feng Jun Ren Quran naturally received the news as well. He looked no different from usual, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
He knew how favored Ren Fengyan was, and he had always worried that she would replace his son and have the Emperor make her the Crown Princess. He would always remember how angry he was in this magnificent palace when the Emperor handed the seal to Ren Fengyan. He wanted to smash all the porcelain in the room, but he was afraid that what he did would reach Ren Junhe's ears and make her think too much, so he endured it.
Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn, and the fourth princess, who had been superior to her son, was dead.
Haha, it's good that he died! All those sutras he chanted in the Buddhist hall weren't for nothing.
Ren Quran thought to himself smugly, but his expression was very sorrowful.
Even those who served him were fooled by his appearance: "Phoenix Lord, don't be too sad. The Fourth Princess's matter was just an accident, and His Majesty will give her justice. You still have the Second Princess, so you should take better care of yourself. If anything were to happen to you, His Majesty and the Second Princess would be heartbroken."
“Sigh,” Ren Quran sighed, “I didn’t mean to be so sad, but I feel sad just thinking about that child. His Majesty has always doted on her and the second prince. They are both his flesh and blood. His Majesty must be heartbroken.”
Mei Ran then advised, "So, Feng Jun should go and keep His Majesty company at this time. We can all see His Majesty's affection for Feng Jun. If he sees you, he will definitely feel better."
