Eunuch Lian hurried to catch up with the old emperor. When they were a little further away, Eunuch Lian said.

"Get it clean!"

Then the old emperor and his entourage left without looking back.

Soon, word spread that the Crown Princess was assassinated in the Imperial Garden. Her chief eunuch Rong An was stabbed several times while trying to protect the Crown Princess and died on the spot.

The Crown Prince and the eldest grandson rushed into the palace and saw the cold body of the Crown Princess.

The prince's face was moved.

The emperor's eldest grandson even knelt before the Crown Princess and cried bitterly.

The old emperor sat aside, indifferent.

After a long while, the prince asked about the old emperor.

"Father, what's wrong with the Crown Princess?"

The old emperor sighed.

"This afternoon, I was supposed to talk to the Crown Princess and ask about your recent situation. But then something happened, so I left first."

"I didn't expect the Crown Princess to encounter an assassin."

"Why!"

The eldest grandson's face was covered with tears, "Grandpa Emperor, have you found out who killed my mother?"

The old emperor nodded.

"It should be the Southern King's people."

"A while ago, the Crown Princess discovered the traces of the Southern King's spies and reported it to us. That's why so many Southern spies were captured."

“But a few got away.”

"It's probably the Southern King's men, seeking revenge."

The eldest grandson secretly clenched his fists and looked at the Crown Princess's body.

"My son will definitely kill King Nan and avenge you!"

The old emperor's eyes flickered.

"Cheng'er, you are not a child anymore. It's time to get married."

The emperor's eldest grandson was stunned.

"My mother just passed away? How can I get married?"
