"Stop crying," Qin Feng suddenly shouted sternly.
The Eldest Princess was taken aback, and indeed, she stopped crying, looking up at Qin Feng in confusion.
Qin Feng let out a sigh of relief. "Can you tell me why the Emperor is wary of you? You're his own sister; didn't you help him ascend to the throne back then?"
The Eldest Princess realized her own lapse and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "Hehe, Feng Er, you're so clever; don't you know that there are no familial ties in the royal family? Besides, he is old now and probably fears that if I have a son, he might support him to take the throne."
Her voice turned somewhat cold.
Qin Feng was taken aback, looking at the Eldest Princess in surprise. It seemed that her influence was greater than he had imagined. Otherwise, why would the Emperor be so wary of her yet still dare not act against her?
Suddenly, the old nanny appeared in the pavilion. "Your Highness, it's time to leave."
"So soon?" The Eldest Princess exclaimed.
She steadied herself, appearing to calm down. "I was too anxious. Feng Er, you must not take sides. Be careful of the Emperor; he should already know your identity. I will arrange for someone to protect you in secret."
After saying this, she looked at Qin Feng reluctantly before leaving with the old nanny.
Qin Feng stood in the pavilion, frowning slightly. This was unexpected; he had just discovered that the Eldest Princess was actually his biological sister. Even Nie Rong and the others had been kept in the dark about this, and his father had never revealed it either. This situation was truly surprising.
He had nothing more to say now; he was directly at odds with the Emperor. However, he felt no fear as long as he wasn't obstructed from participating in the Provincial Examination.
As for obtaining Destiny Energy through the family tree, he hadn't considered that; the Emperor would definitely refuse. He couldn't just kill the Emperor; he didn't want to suffer the backlash from Dragon Qi.
Despite Dragon Qi appearing weak now, its explosive power when unleashed could still be terrifying.
This matter should be left to Pu Du Ci Hang.
The Black Python shrank to the size of dust and flew towards Princess Chang's Residence. He certainly couldn't just take the Eldest Princess's words at face value; it was better to investigate personally.
Qin Feng lay down, his gaze deep and contemplative. This was indeed interesting.
At Princess Chang's Residence, the Eldest Princess was changing clothes with the old maid. The old maid cautiously observed the Eldest Princess's cold demeanor and asked, "Young Master, are you not happy to see me?"
The Eldest Princess's expression turned icy. "What is there to be happy about? I cannot even acknowledge my own son, nor can I bring him here."
The old maid opened her mouth, unsure of what to say. She had worried this would happen; after seeing him, the Eldest Princess might feel even more dissatisfied.
"If it weren't for that suddenly appearing national master, I would have dealt with him long ago. Damn it," the Eldest Princess said coldly.
"Have you found anything out? What is the background of the national master?" she inquired.
The old maid quickly replied, "Your Highness, those we sent out have all died; we couldn't find anything."
The Eldest Princess's phoenix eyes turned icy. "Forget it, there's no need to investigate further. His cultivation is higher than mine; it's normal that we can't find anything."
"However, judging by his actions, he doesn't seem to be a good person. The older one gets, the more afraid of death they become. A ruler cannot cultivate due to the laws of heaven, yet he dares to believe that bald donkey's nonsense about defying heaven to cultivate. How audacious."
The old maid lowered her head and remained silent.
"Forget about everything else. Guan Mama, you go protect Feng Er personally," the Eldest Princess suddenly commanded.
