Chapter 402 The Prime Minister Has a Dual Personality 24
Ying Feng curled her lips and smiled: "I want the position of queen."

The crown prince passed away. Although Emperor Qi was furious about what he had done, he was still a prince after all, and his death would involve state affairs.

Therefore, Emperor Qi tried his best to suppress what the prince had done and even had people hold a funeral for the prince.

And Nanzhi, as it should be, should go to the funeral.

She went to find Lu Huai, wanting him to take her with him, but she didn't expect to hear Ying Feng's words as soon as she arrived.

【I want to be the queen. 】

She subconsciously stopped, hid outside the door, and listened quietly.

Lu Huai noticed Nanzhi as soon as she arrived. From the corner of his eye he saw her skirt, which was not hidden well. He raised his eyes and looked at Yingfeng who was looking expectant.

Yingfeng's father had been tragically killed by Qi Huang's men in order to help him cover up his whereabouts.

He really owed Yingfeng a lot.

But he didn't like Yingfeng, and he didn't need to repay this favor with the position of queen.

So even though Lu Huai thought about agreeing for a moment and letting Nanzhi back down, he did not promise Yingfeng.

"Let's talk about it later."

That's what uncertainty means.

Yingfeng subconsciously thought of Nanzhi, "Why? Is it because of that little princess? You like her and want to make her the queen?"

"It has nothing to do with her." Lu Huai denied expressionlessly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "Yingfeng, you talk too much."

Yingfeng closed his mouth somewhat unhappily.

No matter what, the position of queen in the future will only be hers.

【We’ll talk about this later.】

【It has nothing to do with her.】

Nanzhi's eyelashes drooped, and these two sentences were all in his mind.

What Lu Huai meant was that even if Yingfeng couldn’t become the queen, the position of queen would have nothing to do with her.

Also, will he rebel in the future?
This news was so shocking that Nanzhi was a little overwhelmed.

She did not go in again to ask Lu Huai to go to the East Palace with her. She acted as if nothing had happened and took Lian'er with her.

The Eastern Palace was in mourning. When Nanzhi arrived, Emperor Qi had not come yet.

When she knelt down to burn incense to the prince's coffin, she suddenly heard a female voice in her ear, "Why didn't the imperial sister come with the prime minister?"

Nanzhi glanced sideways. The person who was talking to her was the second princess, her elder sister, who was already married to the Duke of Fuguo.

The Duke of Fuguo was already over fifty years old. In order to win him over to deal with Lu Huai, Emperor Qi specially married the second princess to him as his second wife.

At that time, the second princess was extremely reluctant, but she finally got married.

When the second princess was still in the palace, she hated the original owner the most because she was so beautiful and she was afraid that the original owner would marry someone better than her.

Now the relationship between Nanzhi and Lu Huai is unclear. Nanzhi came to mourn, but Lu Huai didn't come with her. If the second princess saw this, she would humiliate him.

Nanzhi did not look humiliated at all. She was dressed in plain white with only a white flower pinned on her hair. Her whole temperament was so extraordinary that she looked like a fairy from heaven. Everyone else pales in comparison to her.

Even the Duke of Fuguo, who came with the second princess, would look towards Nanzhi from time to time.

This made the second princess so angry that her teeth itched.

When Emperor Qi and Concubine Mei arrived, they also saw that Lu Huai was not with Nanzhi.

Emperor Qi could not hide his disappointment and decided to find an opportunity to get Nanzhi back and give her to someone who was more useful.

But at this moment, he was still immersed in the death of the prince. The death of the prince caused turmoil in the country, which made him even more powerless. He seemed to have aged a few years and his hair became grayer.

Emperor Qi pretended to ask, "Where is the Prime Minister?"

The Crown Prince has passed away, and as the Prime Minister is not here, Emperor Qi can have people exaggerate this point, and in the future, perhaps he can make Lu Huai bear the crime of contempt of imperial power.

The palace maid searched for a while but didn't see him. Just as she was about to report to Emperor Qi, she heard a voice from outside announcing, "The Prime Minister is here."

Emperor Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Huai who walked in from outside wearing a crimson official robe.

Everyone was wearing white mourning clothes except Lu Huai, who looked like the only red flower among the white flowers on the mountain, dazzling and eye-catching.

Well, the prince had just passed away, but he actually came here wearing his official robe, and it was red. He was so arrogant.

Everyone looked at Emperor Qi, waiting for him to get angry.

Emperor Qi was indeed angry, and just when he wanted to take this opportunity to punish Lu Huai, Lu Huai actually walked up to him and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I should have come earlier, but something happened to the Weiwei, so I rushed to deal with it. After dealing with it, I was afraid of missing the auspicious time, so I rushed to attend the prince's funeral without even changing my official robes. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

These words were said earnestly and Emperor Qi could not find any fault with them. If he were to embarrass Lu Huai again at this time, he would not know how to do so.

So even though he knew that Lu Huai might have deceived him and did not deal with the matter at all, Emperor Qi had to grit his teeth and smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear. You are innocent. Please get up quickly."

Everyone just watched Lu Huai stand up straight, nothing happened to him at all, and they were so angry that they gritted their teeth in their hearts.

The second princess looked at Lu Huai with a dazed look in her eyes.

The red color suits Lu Huai very well. The contradictory feeling of him, sometimes cold and stern, and sometimes gentle, coupled with his phoenix eyes that are slightly raised and seem to be full of affection, make him look like a thousand-year-old demon that even monks cannot convert.

If most of the ministers here hate Lu Huai's methods and power.

Then these women would love his face that brings disaster to the country and the people.

I thought I could become his exception and become his beloved one.

The second princess looked at Lu Huai infatuatedly. Thinking that even a pretty face like Nanzhi could not impress Lu Huai, she felt that Lu Huai might not be the kind of person who valued beauty, but rather the inner qualities.

At present, Lu Huai is extremely powerful, and the Duke of Fuguo is just a paper tiger with no real power at all. Perhaps it is time for her to find an opportunity to get close to Lu Huai.

If Lu Huai assisted one of her royal brothers to ascend the throne and become the regent one day, she could still become a famous and powerful princess.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she personally lit three incense sticks and handed them to Lu Huai in front of Nanzhi.

"My lord, here you are."

Lu Huai looked at the second princess who was acting coy in front of him, then glanced at the Duke of Fuguo who had a rather unhappy expression, and finally his eyes fell on Nanzhi who had an indifferent expression.

After she glanced at him when he came in, her eyes never fell on him again.

I felt inexplicably irritable.

The woman in front of him was even more annoying.

"It's not proper for the Duke's wife to do this. You should give it to the Duke of Fu."

After Lu Huai finished speaking, the second princess's expression suddenly became very embarrassed.

She looked at Lu Huai who missed her and walked towards the coffin. He had a handsome figure and a straight back, and was many times better than that old man, the Duke of Fuguo. The second princess pursed her lips in displeasure.

But seeing that Nanzhi didn't get any extra glances from Lu Huai, she felt a lot happier.

Who would have thought that at the end of the funeral, Lu Huai actually reached out to Nanzhi and said, "Come here."

Nanzhi hesitated for a moment, and when she realized he was calling her, she stood up and walked towards him with some fear and surprise.

Because she had been kneeling for too long, her legs and feet were weak. When she stood up, she was tripped by the second princess's foot, and Nanzhi fell forward.
