A servant softly walked towards a slender and handsome man and whispered in his ear .
The man’s face was covered by a mask of sorrow, but a trace of joy secretly flashed across his eyes . He did not react and ordered the servant to leave . He sighed softly and walked over to an exquisite-looking girl, who was secretly wiping away her tears .
“Eldest Royal Sister . ” The man called softly as he handed her a handkerchief .
The girl took the handkerchief and wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes . “Eldest Royal Brother… Fourth Royal Brother was just too pitiful . He was only thirteen years old… why…”
These two were the eldest prince of the Eternal Dynasty, Ling Feng, and the eldest princess, Ling Qiong .
Just yesterday, the crown prince of the Eternal Dynasty, the Fourth Prince, had suddenly taken ill and died . Today was the day of the funeral .
The Fourth Prince was the Emperor of the Eternal Dynasty’s youngest son . The Emperor had doted on the Fourth Prince, who was the son of his old age . He even ignored the ministers who felt that the Fourth Prince was too young to be made crown prince . He had insisted, and a month ago, the Fourth Prince was made the crown prince of the Eternal Dynasty .
But no one had expected the Fourth Prince to die suddenly .
The Emperor was deeply grieved . The Fourth Prince’s mother had cried until she was hoarse and exhausted . The other princes and princesses had arrived in the imperial city to participate in the funeral of their young brother .
“Fourth Royal Brother was pitiful . He was so young, why… Eldest Royal Sister, don’t grieve too much, or you might make yourself ill and cause our Royal Father more worry . ” Ling Feng comforted her softly .
The Eldest Princess, Ling Qiong, wiped her tears and nodded gently .
There were no traces of tears in Ling Feng’s eyes . He glanced around and said softly in Ling Qiong’s ear, “The guests have arrived . ”
A strange look flashed across Ling Qiong’s eyes . Then, she began crying bitterly, as if she had not heard him . She cried so hard that she turned pale .
“Eldest Royal Sister! Eldest Royal Sister!” When Ling Feng saw that Ling Qiong had cried herself into a faint, he scooped her up in shock and hurriedly sought medical attention .
The ministers could not help but sigh when they saw the Eldest Princess cry so bitterly over the death of her brother .
Only one person smiled coldly .
That was a frosty-looking girl, who was extraordinarily beautiful and was enshrouded in an elegant air . She watched as the Eldest Prince and Princess left . There was no amusement in her eyes, only coldness .
“Third Royal Brother, Eldest Royal Sister loved our Fourth Royal Brother so much . Her tears just now were truly heart-wrenching . ” The frosty-looking girl suddenly turned to look at a handsome man next to her .
Ling Yan raised his eyes slightly and smiled at the frosty-looking girl, the Second Princess of the Eternal Dynasty, Ling Yue .
“Our Eldest Royal Sister has always doted on her younger brothers and sisters . She must be heartbroken by what happened to the Fourth Prince . ”
Ling Yue laughed softly . The chill in her smile deepened as she looked at Ling Yan’s calm countenance .
“Third Royal Brother has always been intelligent . Of course you know the truth behind Fourth Royal Brother’s death . Our Eldest Royal Brother and Sister have always been on good terms . Didn’t they invite Third Royal Brother for a short stay a few days ago? Has Third Royal Brother forgotten that?”
Ling Yan laughed softly, but he did not reply . He glanced at the disappearing figures of the Eldest Prince and Princess from the corner of his eye . Amusement continued to linger in his eyes .
Miss Ye, we are about to meet soon .
