"I was afraid that Yu Chuxuan might do something to hurt Jingning if he took Yu Chuyi away, so I put the purple jade back into Yu Chuyi's arms. Let's go check on Jingning."
Jing Yan listened to each sentence and found it all very confusing. How could Jing Ning be involved with Yu Chuxuan, and also have something to do with Yu Chuyi? After thinking it over, he still said, "Okay, let's go see Jing Ning."
Just as the two stepped out of the East Palace, a funeral bell tolled throughout the entire Jade Kingdom's palace. Each solemn and deep sound seemed to break through the thick palace walls and reach people's hearts.

Yue Jiang asked in a daze, "Are you Yu Chuxuan or Yu Chuyi?"
Yu Chuyi spoke indifferently: "I am Yu Chuyi, the new emperor of Yu Kingdom. Yu Chuxuan of Yu Kingdom and Princess Jingning of Jing Kingdom have just passed away together. They passed away peacefully. I hope you two will not be saddened and will leave Yu Kingdom as soon as possible."
