At this moment, the Imperial Guards quickly entered the Golden Palace and knelt down to salute: "Your Majesty... The Third Prince is dead, assassinated..."

The emperor pretended to be furious and shouted, "What did you say? What happened to the Third Prince? Where is the assassin? Has he been caught? Who ordered it?"

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Guard lowered his head and dared not look at the emperor, hesitating: "Your Majesty... the assassin has not been caught... he ran away. Now the capital is under martial law. I hope we can catch the assassin..."

Upon hearing this, the emperor pretended to be angry and said: "The assassin must be caught. If he dares to touch my royal bloodline, I will kill all nine generations of his clan."

The Royal Guards nodded repeatedly and left.

The left prime minister Chu Yichen was so shocked that he almost fainted and fell to the ground. At this moment, he was extremely distressed.

He thought: "How could it be? My son, I just saw you last night! I thought that if I swapped you with the third prince, I could let you sit on the throne. Who knew that you would not even have a life..."

The emperor looked at the left prime minister Chu Yichen, who was heartbroken, and felt secretly happy.

He thought: "Humph! Chu Yichen, this is just the beginning, you can wait for my revenge later! Dare to replace my third son, deal with him...

Just wait! Once I find out the whole story, I will kill all your clans..."

The emperor thought of something and said, "The other four countries have brought princesses for marriage, and the crown prince also needs to choose a marriage partner. So, my dear ministers, you should also let your sons or daughters prepare..."

At this time, Taifu Lu Fanyi was thinking in his heart, "It seems that I have to explain it clearly to my granddaughter in advance when I go back. If not... let her go out and hide. I only have this one granddaughter, and there is no way I can let her go in marriage."

At this time, the emperor said: "Before the envoys from the other four countries leave our Xuantian Kingdom, the sons and daughters of the noble families... are not allowed to leave the capital."

Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Lü Fanyi's eyes widened, and he thought to himself: "Why doesn't the emperor have more children himself, but he comes to harm the descendants of our minister..."

Fortunately, the emperor didn't know what his teacher was thinking, otherwise he would have cried out for injustice...

In the Yingyue Pavilion of the Taifu Mansion, the breeze was blowing gently. Inside the pavilion, the veil was dancing gracefully. Chu Yiyi opened her red lips slightly, and her voice was lazily and soft as if she had just woken up.

She whispered, "I'm awake. Xia Ju, Qiu Xin, come in and help me wash and change my clothes!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Ju and Qiu Xin immediately walked into the inner room, holding copper basins, cloths and other items in their hands, their faces filled with respect and care for their master. They took care of everything for Chu Yiyi swiftly, their movements were both meticulous and skilled.

While she was putting on makeup, Qi Luo hurried in with a solemn look on her face, and reported in a low voice: "Miss, I just learned a new piece of news. The third prince was assassinated last night and has unfortunately passed away.

This incident shocked the government and the public. The Imperial Guards have imposed martial law in the capital and are searching for the murderer!"

Chu Yiyi's heart was moved when she heard this. She thought to herself, "It seems that the wheel of fate has turned earlier than in my previous life. Although I have heard about this matter in my previous life, the court was unable to find out the truth."

Chu Yiyi nodded lightly and said, "The court will investigate this matter, so there's no need to pay too much attention to it."

"Yes, I'll remember it," Qiluo nodded.

After finishing her makeup, Xia Ju asked softly, "Miss, which dress do you want to wear today?"

Chu Yiyi nodded slightly, her eyes falling on an elegant purple dress, "Let's go with the purple one! It goes really well with the purple hairpin on my head."
