At the same time, in the crown princeâs Eastern Palace.
There was a coffin filled with peach blossoms and inside it was the most important girlâ¦â¦to the most important person in the Eastern Palace.
Her face was beyond recognition and all her bones were broken. Even the moon white robe was covered in blood.
It was the tenth day after she died, but he still didnât bury her.
At the bottom of the cliff, she was already like this when he found her. Other than her clothes, there was nothing else left to identify her with.
Whether it was her face, her feet, or her body, it was all bloody and unsightly.
He didnât want to believe that this person in front of him was her, but cruel reality forced him to believe it.
If it wasnât her, why else would she be at the bottom of the cliff?
If it wasnât her, why would she be wearing her clothes?
If it wasnât her, why would he still be able to see the vague outline of her face?
They hadnât met for long, so he couldnât see her face clearly before she had disappeared from his life.
âYour highness, itâs been found.â Ning Yuan cupped his hand and said, âYour highness, condolences.â
Murong Ci had no expression on his face as he slowly stood up and took a deep look at the coffin, âLetâs go to the study.â
âYes.â
He didnât want to disturb her. This was her pure land and he didnât want any sounds disturbing her.
Murong Ci closed his eyes after sitting down before slowly opening them again.
Those deep eyes were bloodshot. It had already been ten days since he slept.
Extremely tired and unwilling to sleep.
âSpeak.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âReporting to your highness, this subordinate has investigated the Shadow League. Although they are unwilling to reveal the identity of the client, this subordinate has found the person who slaughtered everyone in Azure Mountain through different channels.â Ning Yuan paused before saying, âItâs the eighth prince.â
âAs expected.â Murong Ci coldly narrowed his eyes, âHis target is me.â
âHe also knew that many on Azure Mountain were your highnessâ people.â Ning Yuan explained, âThe kingâs health has been degrading in the past few years and he has always coveted your position as the crown prince, so he thought the time was right.â
âHumph, the time was right.â Murong Ci coldly narrowed his eyes, âIâve been too lazy to care about him since the beginning, but this time he not long killed the people of Azure Mountain, but alsoâ¦â¦It seems like he really doesnât want to live anymore.â
âYour highness, we still need to discuss this matter.â Ning Yuan knitted his brows in a worried manner, âPlease donât be rash!â
He didnât respond, but the deep killing intent in those deep eyes could be clearly seen.
âYour highness, the king and queen want to choose a crown princess for youâ¦â¦â
Ning Yuan knew that he shouldnât mention this matter at this time, but he had to mention it.
Now that the eight prince had put such a big plan in order, from the Shadow League to Azure Mountain, it had to be a very long term plan.
Ifâ¦â¦the matter of the crown princess wasnât settled, it would hurt Murong Ciâs position as the crown prince even more.
âI already have a crown princess.â When he said this, Murong Ciâs ice cold eyes became a bit more gentle.
âYour highness, please reconsiderâ¦â¦â
âYou can leave first.â Murong Ci said with a sigh, âIâll take care of this matter.â
âYes, your highness.â
After Ning Yuan left the study, Murong Ci slowly turned around and opened up a mural that had been rolled up.
This scroll was very new and the smell of ink came from it.
There was a young girl in a moon white dress on the scroll. She had a smile on her face that had a touch of playfulness and a touch of gentleness.
