The reckless horses didn't hurt anyone, but the mad horses soon dragged the carriage down the moat!
The horse and the carriage fell into the moat together!
A passerby happened to witness all this and quickly reported it to the police.
The government officials finally arrived after a long delay, but it was winter now. Although the moat was not frozen, the water was cold and turbulent, and no one dared to go down easily.
After much difficulty, the government officials finally got down to the water and spent half the night dragging the carriage and horses out of the water. However, they discovered that the coachman, who was holding on to the reins tightly, was dead. It was unknown whether he had frozen to death or drowned.
When the officials saw the Night King's Palace logo on the carriage, they were so scared that their souls almost flew away, and they hurried to look for someone in the carriage.
But there was only a wheelchair in the carriage, and the Night King was gone!
The officials were so frightened that they hurried to the palace to report to the emperor.
The emperor was woken up in the middle of the night. After learning about this, he immediately sent someone to the Night Prince's Mansion to inform the Night Prince's Consort.
But who knew that Ying Xixi fainted after losing her two sons and has not woken up yet.
So much so that the Night King left for most of the night and did not return home, and no one went into the palace to ask about his condition.
This incident caused quite a stir and spread throughout the capital the next day.
Some are happy and some are sad.
The Fifth Prince and Ying Zhuer were the happy ones.
The Fifth Prince was happy that the Night King disappeared after falling into the moat. If the Night King had drowned, that would have been perfect!
Maybe he could get Ying Xixi to remarry him!
Ying Zhuer was happy that her curse had come true!
Ying Xixi’s two sons really died young!
It would be even better if the Night King could die too!
Then Ying Xixi would become a widow!
Without the protection of the Night King, how can Ying Xixi support the Night King's Palace?
Hahahaha, this is so hilarious!
If the Night King is really dead, then she can find a way to spread the rumor that Ying Xixi is unlucky in marriage and will kill her sons to the capital!
Now, there will definitely be no one in the capital who would be willing to marry a widow like Ying Xixi! !
A few days later, people in the capital heard that after Princess Ye woke up, she learned that King Ye had fallen into the water and disappeared, and she fainted again due to anger.
Soon, some people found a body wearing a silver mask, but swollen from water, at the lower end of the moat.
Looking at the mask, everyone thought the corpse was the Night King and quickly reported it to the authorities.
After a careful examination, the coroner found that the male corpse had disabled legs. After removing the mask, his face was so gruesome from being soaked that his appearance could not be seen clearly.
But you can still see a very obvious scar on your face.
Plus the corpse's clothes and the token around its waist that can indicate its identity.
This is enough to prove that the body is the Night King.
The news of the Night King's death quickly spread throughout the capital.
The emperor was very sad about the death of his only brother and immediately sent people to prepare a funeral for the Night King.
At the same time, the fifth prince came to the palace.
As soon as the fifth prince entered the imperial study, he stared at the emperor with sharp eyes.
"Father, Prince Ye's uncle has passed away, and Princess Ye's child also died.
Princess Ye has also become a widow, and my position as the Crown Prince's Consort is still vacant. I beg you, Father, to issue an order to allow Princess Ye to marry me!"
The fifth prince's words shocked the emperor.
He looked at the Fifth Prince in disbelief, "Xiao Wu, are you crazy? Princess Ye is your aunt?
Even if your uncle, Prince Ye, is dead, how could she, a widow, marry her own nephew?!
Do you want to become the laughing stock of the world?!"
"Father, I am not afraid of becoming a laughing stock. I regret breaking off my engagement with Ying Xixi.
If I had not broken off my engagement with Ying Xixi, none of these things would have happened now!
Those two sons will also be my sons!
I beg Father to agree!"
The fifth prince saluted again.
The emperor's face was gloomy. "Impossible! I will never agree to your request!"
The emperor's answer seemed to be what the fifth prince expected. He raised his eyes and looked at the emperor meaningfully.
"Father, do you really think that no one knows what you have done?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"
"Did the Night King's two children really die from poisoning by the royal physician? Did the Night King's horses really go crazy for no reason?
Did the mad horse really run towards the moat on its own?"
Every word the fifth prince spoke was full of meaning, and the emperor's already gloomy face became even darker.
"Are you threatening me?"
"Father, I dare not threaten you. I just happened to know this little thing and am discussing it with you.
If Your Majesty can agree to my request, that would be great! "
The fifth prince's smile was just as sinister as the emperor's.
Three days later, the Night King was buried in the royal mausoleum and the funeral was over.
Immediately afterwards, an imperial edict from the emperor was delivered to the Night King's Palace.
At the same time, the content of this imperial edict also spread throughout the capital.
"The Emperor actually issued an order for Princess Ye to marry the Fifth Prince?!"
"Oh my god! Isn't this a mess? How could a royal family do such a thing?"
"Yes, even if Princess Ye was once the Fifth Prince's fiancée, she has already married the Night King and given birth to two children. She is now the Fifth Prince's aunt!
Even though the Night King died and the two children died, their relationship has not changed.
How could this happen? "
"I don't know if Princess Ye would agree. This is simply too outrageous!"
"How dare Princess Ye refuse? This is an imperial decree! No one dares to refuse an imperial decree!
If Princess Ye really disobeyed the order, we might hear the news of her death tonight, do you believe it?"
"believe!"
.......
In the Night Palace, Ying Xixi looked haggard and pale as a piece of white paper. Anyone who saw her could tell how sad she was after experiencing the pain of losing her husband and son in succession.
The eunuch looked at Ying Xixi's appearance and thought of the contents of the imperial edict, feeling very sorry, but he had no choice but to read out the imperial edict.
"........I decree this! Princess Ye, please accept my order and choose a date to marry the Fifth Prince."
Ying Xixi sneered, "It's only been a few days since the Night King died, and the Emperor wants to marry me, a widow, to my former fiancé, my current nephew?
Is Your Majesty really not afraid of being laughed at by the world?"
The chief eunuch was sweating profusely. "Princess Ye, this is the Emperor's order. Please accept it."
"I won't accept your order. Since I broke off my engagement with the Fifth Prince, I will never marry him again!
This time, I will disobey your order!"
Ying Xixi said this in a decisive tone, and then she went back to the house with the help of her maid.
The eunuch: “!!!”
"Princess Ye, please don't leave! Please accept this imperial edict!"
