At the same time, in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
In a coffin full of peach blossoms lay the person with the highest authority in the Eastern Palace … the most important woman.
Her face was unrecognizable, all the bones in her body were broken, and even her moon-white clothes were covered in blood.
It was the tenth day since she died, and he still hadn't buried her.
At the bottom of the cliff, she was already like this when he found her. Apart from her clothes, there was no other distinguishable part of her body.
Whether it was her face, her feet, or her body, every part was a bloody mess. It was unbearable to look at.
He didn't want to believe that the person in front of him was her, but the cruelty of reality forced him to believe it.
If it wasn't her, who else would have fallen off the cliff?
If it wasn't her, why was she wearing her clothes?
If it wasn't her, why could he still make out the outline of her face?
They seemed to have only met a few times. They didn't seem to be able to see her clearly before she suddenly disappeared from his life.
"Your Highness, I've found it." Ning Yuan cupped his hands. "My condolences, Your Highness."
Murong Ci was expressionless. He slowly got up and took a deep look at the coffin. "Let's go to the study."
"Yes."
He didn't want to disturb her. This was a pure land that belonged to her. He didn't want any noise to disturb her.
On the table, Murong Ci closed his eyes, then slowly opened them again.
His ink-black eyes were bloodshot, and he hadn't slept for ten days.
He was extremely tired, but he couldn't sleep.
"Speak —"
"Your Highness, this subordinate has investigated the Shadow League. Although they can't reveal the identity of the client, this subordinate still found out who wanted to kill everyone in Qingqiu Mountain through other channels. "Ning Yuan paused." It's Lord Ba. "
"As expected." Murong Ci's cold eyes narrowed. "His target is me."
"He also knows that many of Qingqiu Mountain's people are Your Highness's," Ning Yuan explained. "The king's health has been deteriorating in recent years. He's always coveted your position as Crown Prince. This time, he's cutting off all means of retreat."
"Hmph, cutting off all means of retreat …" Murong Ci's cold eyes narrowed. "I've been too lazy to argue with him from start to finish, but this time, not only did he kill so many from Green Hill, he also … looks like he really doesn't want to live anymore."
"Your Highness, perhaps we need to consider this matter at length." Ning Yuan frowned worriedly. "Don't panic!"
He didn't respond, but his bottomless eyes were filled with layers of killing intent, making it hard for others to see through him.
"Your Highness, the King and Queen are going to choose a Crown Princess for you …"
Ning Yuan knew that he shouldn't mention this at this moment, but he had to.
And now, the Eighth Lord had set up a huge trap, from the Shadow League to Green Hill. He must have planned this for a long time.
If … the matter of the Crown Princess had not been settled, it would make Murong Ci's position as Crown Prince even more threatened.
"I already have a Crown Princess." When she said this, Murong Ci's cold eyes revealed a rare gentleness.
"Your Highness, please reconsider …"
"You go out first." Murong Ci sighed softly. "I will take care of this matter."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After Ning Yuan left the study, Murong Ci slowly turned around and unrolled the originally rolled up painting on the mural.
The painting was very new, and the smell of brush and ink assailed her nose.
