“Is she worried about Junfeng?”

Lord Xia flicked his sleeve, furious.

The father and son were well aware that Hou Dieyi was not worried about her son. She was worried about her own interests and whether the Hou family could still gain a foothold in the royal court in the future.

Hou Dieyi’s concern for Xia Junfeng was barely noticeable.

If she was really worried, she would not have followed the servants’ advice to come and a.s.sess Lord Xia’s att.i.tude towards Xia Junfeng.

“Her att.i.tude only makes it more convincing, doesn’t it?” Xia Huafeng reminded with a smile.

Lord Xia sighed heavily.

No matter how much of a headache his wife was, he had to continue doting on her. After all, she had birthed Xia Junfeng.

“I can’t leave under these circ.u.mstances. You send word to Junfeng.”

“I understand.”

Xia Huafeng nodded and left the study, already changed into servant’s clothes.

It was nighttime.

In a dilapidated courtyard residence in the western city, a person sat under the pitch-black night sky with a green lantern in his hand.

“Huh?!”

Xia Huafeng flew into the courtyard and immediately noticed the face illuminated by green light. He was so startled that he almost lost his breath and fell.

Fortunately, his lightness skills were good enough, and he managed to steady himself upon landing to prevent an embarra.s.sing fall.

“Xia Junfeng, are you trying to scare someone to death?”

He took a deep breath, clutching his thumping chest as he approached the green shadow.

Thankfully, he was the one who came. He wondered if their father would have died from fright if he had come. The ghostly appearance was too much!

“Isn’t it the Lantern Festival today? I happened to see lanterns being sold outside, so I bought one.” Xia Junfeng said calmly.

Xia Huafeng was speechless.

So he f*cking knew that it was the Lantern Festival? Then how could he have the cheek to buy a lantern typically bought during the Ghost Festival?

He did not say that aloud. He could not be bothered to argue with his younger brother.

“Big Brother, how’s your investigation going?” Xia Junfeng blew out the lantern and asked softly.

Xia Huafeng shook his head.

“I didn’t dare investigate too deeply, but there’s more to the Empress Dowager’s death. I’d say that the Empress Dowager’s death remains uncertain. No one has seen her corpse except the Emperor and the servants in the Empress Dowager’s palace.

“And the Emperor ordered all of her servants to follow her because they failed to take good care of her.”

“He killed them all? Not a single one was spared?”

Even though Xia Junfeng knew how ruthless the old Emperor was, he did not expect him to kill everyone in the Empress Dowager’s palace.

Apart from the Emperor, the Empress Dowager had the most servants in the palace. Even the Empress’s palace did not have that many servants.

So many servants were killed simply because of the Emperor’s words?

“It’d be odd if one of them was spared.” Xia Huafeng sneered. Who didn’t know about their Emperor’s character?

“Although I couldn’t find out anything regarding the Empress Dowager, I did find some clues about the Eldest Prince. He’s in charge of the Suxi Army, right? I heard he lost the Tiger Talisman of the Suxi Army.”

“Lost it?!” Xia Junfeng almost shouted.

Fortunately, he remembered that he was wanted and lowered his voice.
