Dongqing Imperial Palace.
"Report—" A young officer hurriedly rushed in, knelt on the ground, and reported to Dongfang Tianyang: "Your Majesty, the ten thousand troops besieging Su Changyi have failed, the entire army has perished."
"What?!" Dongfang Tianyang immediately stood up in shock, completely unprepared for this result. Then, he urgently asked, "What about the Third Prince, is he alright?"
"The Third Prince has died in battle."
"Wha... t..." Dongfang Tianyang's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he collapsed back onto the Dragon Chair.
The young officer, seeing Dongfang Tianyang like this, hesitated for a moment, but still said, "The Third Prince competed against Su Changyi and was pierced through the throat by Xiao Changyi's sword, dying on the spot."
