At that moment, the Eldest Princess also stepped down from the carriage. Upon seeing Qin Feng, a smile lit up her face. "Feng Er, have you missed your mother?"
Qin Feng felt a bit awkward at her words and cleared his throat. "Uh, not really."
The Eldest Princess walked over with a smile and suddenly reached out to ruffle his hair, whispering, "You’re thoughtful; you even had someone come to protect me."
Qin Feng felt increasingly uncomfortable and quickly replied, "Let’s talk about it when we get home."
"Haha, you're shy!" she teased. However, as she mentioned going home, a complex emotion flickered in her eyes.
Just then, Qin Feng's expression changed as he looked up at the distant sky. Several dark figures were rapidly approaching Guobei County.
Noticing Qin Feng's unusual demeanor, the Eldest Princess turned to look and her expression changed as well. "Feng Er, are they your people?"
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes. "No, they should be enemies."
"Enemies?" The Eldest Princess immediately turned around and became alert.
Qin Feng lowered his voice. "Little sister, where's Sister Nie?"
Qin Wan'er was no longer a child who didn’t understand; she nodded and released Qin Feng, running over to Nie Xiaoqian.
As the dark figures drew closer, the temperature around them suddenly rose.
"Haha, Qin Feng, your time has come!" A familiar voice rang out.
Huang Xu, who had been standing nearby, jumped in surprise. "Second Brother!"
"Hmm? Ba Di? Auntie, you all actually left the capital?" The Second Prince was brought by the Eunuch and landed not far away. Upon seeing the people at the City Gate, he exclaimed in surprise.
The Eldest Princess frowned. "Huang Jing, what do you want?"
The Second Prince's expression changed slightly; he still felt some fear towards this aunt of his.
"Well, I was sent to capture someone," the Second Prince could only explain.
The Eldest Princess's beautiful eyes turned cold. "Capture Qin Feng?"
The Second Prince quickly nodded. "Yes." Suddenly remembering something, he excitedly asked, "Could it be that Auntie is here to capture him too?"
He secretly thought to himself: Could it be that Father knows Qin Feng is difficult to deal with and has sent Auntie to help me?
A cold laugh escaped the Eldest Princess. "Hehe, Qin Feng is my son. Do you really think I came to capture him?"
The Second Prince was taken aback, staring at the Eldest Princess in disbelief. "No way..."
Beside him, the Eunuch furrowed his brows tightly as he stepped forward. "Princess Consort, what has happened to His Majesty?"
Upon seeing the Eunuch, the Eldest Princess's pupils constricted. "Oh, Chief Steward, so you’re not dead after all. Truly worthy of an emperor, hiding so deeply. What a pity..."
The Eunuch trembled slightly. "What do you mean, 'what a pity'?"
A mocking smile appeared on the Eldest Princess's lips. "What a pity he let in the wolf and was killed by the National Master. Who would have thought that the National Master was actually a demon? How ironic."
"What? His Majesty has been killed?" The Eunuch's expression turned incredulous as he took a step back, his face pale.
The Second Prince was also stunned. "Father is dead? How is that possible?" He couldn't accept it at all. Most importantly, he wasn't even in the capital—did that mean he had no claim to the throne?
"Quickly, we must return to the capital!" the Second Prince urged frantically at the Eunuch.
Seeing this, the Eldest Princess revealed a look of disdain, fully understanding the Second Prince's intentions.
However, Qin Feng paid no attention to the Second Prince and the Eunuch; his gaze was fixed on Yao Yi de Qing.
