An Jiuyue looked at Fu Ming and the others and asked.

She realized that Gong Cheng, who was supposed to be busy, had come. They must be discussing something important.

And, because they were discussing how someone could plot against their mother and son, they could only be referring to one person.

“Did something happen to the Empress Dowager?” she asked.

“Second Brother, Sister-in-Law, Empress Dowager Ci En is gone,” Fu Ming said as he looked at Qian Jiyun.

“Hm?”

They were stunned when they heard the news.

Empress Dowager Ci En was gone? Was she dead?

How was that possible? They had even sneaked into the palace earlier. Empress Dowager Ci En had been fine. She could eat and sleep, and she was full of energy when she scolded people.

How could she be gone in just a few months?

“How can this be? The Empress Dowager is in good health,” she replied.

Although the Empress Dowager had pretended to be sick before, An Jiuyue was certain that the Empress Dowager was healthy and could live for a few more years.

She looked at Qian Jiyun and asked softly, “Was she assassinated?”

This was the only possibility she could think of. How could she have died so suddenly if she had not been assassinated?

Even if she was sick, there were many imperial physicians in the palace. They weren’t useless. They couldn’t possibly let the Empress Dowager die so soon. Even if they could only keep her alive with medicine, she could live for at least another year.

“Only the heavens know.” Qian Jiyun chuckled.

He did not want to interfere in Daqing Kingdom’s matters anymore.

“Second Brother, you don’t want to go back?” Gong Cheng could tell what Qian Jiyun meant. He did not want to care about the Empress Dowager’s death.

Qian Jiyun glanced at him and asked, “Why would I go back? Do I have nothing better to do?”

It’d be fine if he went back alone, but An Jiuyue was pregnant. She could be schemed against.

“Uhm..

Fu Ming and Gong Cheng were stunned by their second brother’s words.

Indeed. Why would he go back? It was not like they had nothing better to do and wanted to watch a show for entertainment. Moreover, it was evident that the old Emperor was setting up a stage for their second brother.

“Did Eldest Brother send any message?” Qian Jiyun asked again.

“Eldest Brother didn’t.” Fu Ming glanced at Gong Cheng and shook his head.

If he had sent a message, they would not merely discuss this. They would definitely take action.

“But Gong Cheng thinks he didn’t tell us about the difficult situation there because he didn’t want to disturb us. Now that the Empress Dowager is gone, I’m afraid he’ll…

“We should consider this.” Qian Jiyun stroked his chin and nodded.

“I have a feeling that the Empress Dowager’s death isn’t that simple.” An Jiuyue shook her head and glanced at the others before looking at Qian Jiyun.

“After such a big incident, even if Eldest Brother doesn’t want you to interfere in Daqing Kingdom’s matters, he wouldn’t keep you in the dark, right?”

“Well…”

Gong Cheng and Fu Ming exchanged glances again.

They never expected the Empress Dowager to die so mysteriously. She had always supported their eldest brother. How could he not send them a message?

Unless something had happened to him too, which prevented him from sending them any message?

“Where is Shang Ningyi now?” Qian Jiyun asked Fu Ming sharply.

“He’s been at Camp Ning Se, but Shang Ningshen has returned to Shang Kingdom,” Fu Ming replied immediately.

However, on second thought, he sensed something amiss..
