A few days later, Rong Jing finally announced to the public the news that the Third Prince had died from sudden illness due to overwhelming grief over the former Emperor's passing.
Although Rong Jing just said that Rong Jue should hold Su Zhixue accountable for his death, he and Rong Jue's death are definitely not unrelated!
"I did so much, but I spared Rong Heng... I only wanted him to obey! But with you around, he can never be obedient. Gu Lan, do you think if Rong Heng saw the person he loved bowing at my feet, maybe this time, he would comply."
Rong Jing murmured as if talking in his sleep.
He walked up to Gu Lan, and the three dark shadows behind him also stepped forward, protectively flanking him.
Gu Lan lowered her head once again, ignoring Rong Jing's madness.
Next... can Rong Jing say a few words less, or has he been Emperor for so long without someone to confide in that he turned me into his tree hollow to rant?
