Ye Qingtang had heard of the Eternal Dynasty's Eldest Prince in her previous life. She knew that he was a vicious and merciless man.
Seeing that Ye Qingtang had no intention of letting him do anything, Ming Gu said to the Eldest Prince, "There's no need."
With that, Ming Gu blinked at Ye Qingtang, looking as though he was begging for praise.
The Eldest Prince didn't mind. He smiled and said, "Perhaps the things I prepared were not what the Holy Son Ming Gu wanted. But there's one more thing … "
The Eldest Prince paused and continued. "My Royal Father knows that all of you from the Temple of Shadows are coming. He is holding a banquet in the palace today. I hope you will do me the honor."
Ye Qingtang nodded slightly.
The Eldest Prince didn't say anything else and left with his men.
Not long after leaving the room, the Eldest Prince's smile faded.
The Eldest Princess, who had been waiting nearby, saw the Eldest Prince and immediately walked up to him.
"Eldest Royal Brother, how are the gifts?"
The Eldest Prince shook his head lightly.
"My Royal Father is holding a banquet tonight to entertain the distinguished guests from the Temple of Shadows. If I'm not wrong, Ling Yan and Ling Yue will be there tonight. You should prepare."
The Eldest Prince looked at the Eldest Princess meaningfully.
The Eldest Princess immediately understood.
"I understand."
The two of them chatted for a while before leaving.
At sunset, the Eldest Prince had already prepared a carriage to take the people from the Temple of Shadows to the palace.
Under the moonlight, the Eternal Dynasty's palace was brightly lit. The white sails that were hung high during the day had been quietly taken down.
The vast palace was silent except for the occasional footsteps of patrolling guards and the chirping of insects.
In the main hall, the elderly Eternal Emperor sat on the main seat. His weary face showed signs of fatigue.
"Royal Father, don't be too sad. You need to take care of your health. Otherwise, even Fourth Brother will feel guilty in the afterlife." The Eldest Princess, who had rushed over early, looked worriedly at the depressed Eternal Emperor and spoke with concern.
The Eternal Emperor sighed softly, his brows furrowed.
"Miao 'er died suddenly. Consort Jade is extremely sad and is now bedridden …"
The Miao 'er that the Eternal Emperor spoke of was the deceased Fourth Prince, Ling Miao. Lady Jade was his birth mother and the Emperor's most beloved concubine.
"Your Majesty, although you are sad, you have to take care of your health." A minister at the banquet also stood up and consoled.
Today, the Eternal Emperor was hosting a banquet to entertain the guests from the Temple of Shadows. Not only were the princes and princesses invited, but some of the important ministers of the court were also present.
Recently, the Eternal Emperor had been ill, and everyone had been feeling depressed. Who would have thought that the Crown Prince, who had just been appointed not long ago, would suddenly die? It was like adding snow to snow.
The Second Princess, Ling Yue, was seated at the banquet. When she saw how concerned the Eldest Princess was about the Emperor, her lips involuntarily curled into a cold smile. She glanced at Ling Yan, who was seated at the side, from the corner of her eyes.
However, she realized that Ling Yan only sat there with a faint smile and occasionally sipped a cup of wine. He had no intention of speaking at all.
"Third Royal Brother, you're really in a good mood," Lingyue said.
Ling Yan smiled and looked up at Ling Yue.
"Sorrow does not resolve hatred. Fourth Imperial Brother knows this in the afterlife. Naturally, he does not wish to cause others to worry about him, right?"
