You're living in an empire, the emperor and empress have recently been murdered. If you already know some good investments for these specific circumstances then go for it. Otherwise don't count on politics being stable enough that businesses will be favourably stable and profitable.
Describe your name, rank, family political importance, and other notable features we have to work with. Are you nobility, or related to nobility? What was your education, if any? What vassals, servants, slaves, properties, and significant investments do you already have at this time? What oaths (of fealty or otherwise) are you bound by?
Now, the child: Does he have any identifying features that would make him notable? What's the short-list of people likely to kill the emperor and empress and how many of those would want to kill the child? Is either side of his birth-family noted for any particular talents or skills? Are there any particular upbringing requirements to fulfill in raising him so that he could claim his heritage?
World particulars, society and tech level: Please describe the economy, major products, imports and exports of your country. Is there magic in your world? Is there advanced technology around (I.E. useful electricity, combustion engines, printing presses, automation, electromagnetic communications, etc.)? What political power is there in this country besides your late friend and her husband? What kind of climate do you live in? How common would it be for a woman your age to be unmarried, and how common would it be for one to have a child as well?
Answering these questions will help to map out how much you need to hide or need to remain publicly engaged to deal with this situation.
