C2779 Princess Qi Appeared

Everyone was silent.

Initially, everyone thought that this matter had nothing to do with Princess Qi. However, after hearing what the official said, their previous thoughts were somewhat shaken.

That's right. The love of the previous Emperor towards Princess Qi was obvious to all. And the former emperor had no choice but to marry Princess Qi to the Fengjue Country. In that case, the previous emperor must feel guilty towards Princess Qi. Under these two conditions, the Deceased Emperor would assign an expert to protect Princess Qi. It was not something to be surprised about.

"However, even if Princess Qi has that kind of ability, why would she do that? Just because of some grudges from before?" Someone asked.

Before Princess Qi got married, her relationship with Noble Consort Wu and the Wu Family was indeed not good. But now, Imperial Concubine Wu was the mother of the Great Lu Dynasty Emperor, and the Wu Family's influence in the Great Lu Dynasty was even more monstrous. Even if Princess Qi had the protection of experts by her side, offending the Wu Family would not have a good ending. Furthermore, she could not even get out of the capital, if not for some special reason. Princess Qi would not do such a foolish thing.

"I am not sure about that." The person just now also shook his head and said.

He did indeed think that Princess Qi had such an ability and even had a little motive and reason. However, just because of that little motive and reason, she wanted to attack Wu Yan. Kidnapping Wu Yan and offending the entire Wu Family was really not worth it. Furthermore, if Princess Qi really did that, she wouldn't be able to live in the Great Lu Dynasty anymore. After all, the late Emperor was dead, and the Wu Family was in charge now.

No one said anything else. They were all thinking about the possible situation.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

At this moment, a sharp voice was heard. It was time for the court session. Everyone quickly knelt down to welcome the new emperor.

Because the new Emperor was only two years old, he was usually brought here by Imperial Concubine Wu. However, today was different. Everyone discovered that Noble Consort Wu did not appear. The new Emperor was supported by palace maid to the Dragon Throne.

What was going on?

Wu Yan did not appear today, so why did Noble Consort Wu not appear either? Could it be that because Minister Wu went missing, Noble Consort Wu went over to worry about her father and got busy with Minister Wu's matters?

Many of the officials kneeling on the ground had many doubts in their hearts.

"All of you, get up!"

Just as the officials were thinking about where Noble Consort Wu was going, another familiar voice sounded.

The new emperor was only two years old, so he naturally wouldn't say anything about getting up. Hence, usually, after the officials bowed, it was Noble Consort Wu who made them stand up. In fact, in the usual state affairs, it was Noble Consort Wu who spoke up for the new emperor. The new emperor only needed to show his face and put on a show. The rest of the matters would be handled by Noble Consort Wu.

And now, Noble Consort Wu had not appeared. Everyone was still thinking about who would preside over the morning assembly today. However, they heard a familiar voice. After hearing this voice, many people subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the top of the hall. When they saw the familiar figure, everyone was stunned.

"What's wrong? Are you all surprised to see me?" Princess Qi had a smile on her face as she looked at the crowd and said.

That's right, the one who appeared beside the New Emperor and replaced Imperial Concubine Wu's position was none other than Princess Qi, who had already been married out of the pass!

The various ministers in the hall were naturally very surprised when they saw Princess Qi. Especially those who had just discussed Princess Qi, they had never thought of it. The person who had been discussing just now had actually appeared in front of them so quickly. Furthermore, it was in this way.

Most of the people in the hall already knew that... Princess Qi had already returned to court, but no one knew. Princess Qi actually quietly returned to the Imperial Palace. After all, the Imperial Palace was now controlled by Imperial Concubine Wu. She was the master of the six palaces, and Imperial Concubine Wu did not have a good impression of Princess Qi at all. Obviously, it was impossible for her to smoothly return to the Palace. Previously, through the hands of the new emperor, they had announced the decision to prohibit Princess Qi from returning to the court.

However, no one expected that the order would not stop Princess Qi from returning to the Palace. Furthermore, it could not stop Princess Qi from returning to the Imperial Palace. Furthermore, it had appeared in front of everyone in such a way. It was not surprising that everyone felt surprised.

Initially, everyone was very surprised that Noble Consort Wu was not able to appear in the hall. Now that they saw Princess Qi actually replace Noble Consort Wu, the shock in their hearts became even greater.

Especially those who had just talked about Princess Qi and the possibility of Princess Qi kidnapping Wu Yan. In their hearts, they felt that the matter of Wu Yan missing was very likely related to Princess Qi.

"All of you, get up. How long are all of you prepared to kneel?" Princess Qi reminded everyone again. They had forgotten about it because they were shocked.

Only then did everyone in the hall slowly get up. However, the shocked expression on their faces did not decrease by much.

"May I ask why His Highness appeared here?" Someone asked.

There was no problem with this question. After all, the Great Lu Dynasty was a feudal country. Women couldn't do politics. The reason why Consort Wu could appear in the main hall earlier was because of this. That was because the new Emperor was still young and needed someone to take care of him. Thus, these ministers accepted Consort Wu's existence.

Actually, Princess Qi was different. She did not have any special reason to be unable to enter this hall and to be unable to attend the court. Now that she appeared here, it was already somewhat against the rules. That was why this official would ask such a question.

The others also looked at Princess Qi. They were also very curious about why Princess Qi would appear here.2

"I appeared here to seek justice for me, Royal Brother. An explanation!" Princess Qi said, "I cannot let my Royal Brother die without knowing why!"

The Deceased Emperor?!

When the crowd heard Princess Qi say this, they immediately burst into an uproar. They started to discuss, especially the few officials who had previously talked about Princess Qi. They had never thought that Princess Qi would kidnap Wu Yan without hesitation. They all felt that Princess Qi had no reason to do so.

However, when they heard Princess Qi talk about the late emperor, their eyes lit up. They seemed to have understood something. If Princess Qi was doing this for the sake of the late emperor, then she did have a reason to take the risk to kidnap Wu Yan.

As for the people in the hall, some of them had previously suspected the death of the late Emperor. However, Wu Yan had great influence, so he didn't investigate the death of the late emperor. Even if they suspected him, it would be useless. They could only put this suspicion in their hearts.

However, there were also many people who did not suspect the cause of the death of the previous Emperor. Hence, when they heard Princess Qi say this, they were naturally shocked and puzzled.
