Prince Wei was dead. He never expected his end to come so suddenly, nor did he expect to feel such bitter resentment.
It was only after his soul had departed his body that he understood why he had died. Released from the influence of the Empathy Gu, his mind was clear, allowing him to review his entire life. With his spectral eyes, he watched the future that lay ahead for Meng Yihuan and Qi Yanjing.
When the Emperor learned of Prince Wei’s death, a weary shadow passed over his face. He let out a long, heavy sigh. After a prolonged silence, he spoke slowly: "I am old. Crown Prince, I wish to abdicate early. From this day forward, the throne of Dongqi is yours."
