Su Jin, after enduring a three-day carriage ride, was truly exhausted.
Others were celebrating their family reunions, so they would not stay to disturb them.
Su Jin and Xie Jingchen took their leave from the Emperor.
However, just as they were about to speak, a little eunuch rushed in from outside, panting, "Your Majesty, Princess Qi has passed away."
The Emperor furrowed his brow.
Eunuch Fu was also taken aback, "How did she die so suddenly?"
Although Prince Qi fled, the charges against him were not yet finalized. Duke Chong had pinned the murder of Old Duke Chong on him, but Old Duke Chong accused Duke Chong of sending people to carry it out.
Whether Prince Qi was an accomplice was unclear; they needed to capture him and Duke Chong to find out.
After Old Duke Chong's accusation, the Empress Dowager had asked the Emperor to release Princess Qi.
The Emperor didn't agree.
If Prince Qi wasn't guilty, why did he flee?
