The foolish eldest prince, after being deceived a few times, thought he was going to become emperor, without even considering who the other person really was, and he believed them without question.

So, on the night Emperor Yong'an was assassinated, Gu Lingyun insisted on going out during dinner and secretly put the poison given to him by the assassin into the food of the Imperial Guards.

He was, after all, the eldest prince. Although the Imperial Guards knew he was under house arrest, they only respectfully invited him back to the palace. Some people also reported the matter to Emperor Yong'an. Emperor Yong'an thought he was just bored at home and there was nothing wrong with him coming out to relax, so he didn't pursue the matter too much.

Who knew that an assassination would occur that very night? No wonder all the Imperial Guards on duty that night were killed; they had all taken poison beforehand and were bound to die sooner or later, it was just that the effects of the poison weren't taking effect as quickly as they could.

Emperor Yong'an was assassinated that night. The eldest prince did not receive the news, so the next day he went to the Empress's palace to drag his mother along to see if Emperor Yong'an was dead or not. However, Gu Lingchen stopped him and he did not see it.

But he couldn't contain himself. Seeing that Emperor Yong'an hadn't attended the morning court for several days, he assumed that Emperor Yong'an was dead. So he started to speak recklessly in his own palace, saying that he would soon become emperor.

The palace maids and eunuchs dared not utter such a treasonous act, all thinking he had lost his mind.

Soon news came that Emperor Yong'an had been saved by Liu Sisi, which angered him so much that he gave Liu Sisi a good scolding.

Unexpectedly, a second wave of assassins arrived soon after, and the eldest prince rushed over to check. When he saw Emperor Yong'an sitting there perfectly fine, he was extremely disappointed.

He could only say a few insincere words before returning to the palace, but he soon heard that more assassins had arrived.

The person who was supposed to deliver the message to him was captured by Emperor Yong'an's men and could no longer deliver messages to him. He thought that Emperor Yong'an was doomed this time.

Unexpectedly, not only did the person survive, but they also uncovered all the people behind the scenes, including him.

Emperor Yong'an could not allow himself to have a son who had killed his father, so he could only let him die quietly. To save face for the royal family, he announced to the public that the eldest prince had suddenly fallen ill and died.

When the Empress heard the news of her son's death, she fainted and has not woken up since.

With the assassination attempt now completely over, several countries are about to face Liu Sisi's wrath.
