Chapter 617 The Crown Prince Always Wants to Do Something Bad to Me 28
The East Palace was solemn and everyone was dressed in mourning clothes. Before Chu Ning even stepped into the main hall, he heard the Queen crying.

The crying is sad and touching.

He walked in and saw the queen lying on the bed, hugging Chu Yi tightly with her eyelids closed and her face pale.

The emperor stood aside, his face also full of sadness.

Actually, Chu Yi was the emperor's first child and also his eldest son before he ascended the throne. The emperor had too many expectations for him, so even though Chu Yi had been ill for so long, he was reluctant to replace him.

Now that Chu Yi is gone, the emperor seems to have aged a few years.

When Chu Ning saw this scene, he knew it couldn't be fake.

He walked over, bowed to the emperor and empress, and then pretended to cry.

Among all the princes who came, no one cried more "sadly" than him.

The emperor saw it all.

The Eastern Palace quickly set up a mourning hall. The coffin was made of the finest golden wood. The prince, who was originally as gentle as jade, lay motionless inside, as if he was just asleep.

During the night vigil, the queen had fainted from excessive grief, and the other princes were too tired in the past few days, and most of them had gone back to rest.

Only two or three princes and some other palace servants were still guarding. Although Chu Ning was tired, he still forced himself to stay by the side.

Seeing that the others were so tired that they couldn't even open their eyes, he said, "You guys go back and rest first, I'm here."

"But……"

"Don't say anything but. If the emperor asks, I will tell him that I want to talk to my elder brother and spend some time alone with him." Chu Ning said, "Come back in two hours to take my place."

The princes saw that there were other palace servants around, and they were so tired that they went to a side hall to rest.

After they left, Chu Ning glanced at the hibiscus cake in front of the coffin and frowned, "The prince likes to eat osmanthus cake. Replace this one and ask someone to make a new one."

When the palace maids heard this, they hurriedly replaced the hibiscus cake and asked someone to make osmanthus cake.

Chu Ning called away other servants with other reasons.

Soon, he was the only one left in the mourning hall.

He got up from the mat, walked around to the side of the coffin, looked at the person lying inside, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

He reached into the coffin and grabbed Chu Yi's hand.

It was chillingly cold, that was the body temperature of a dead person.

"Brother, your death really surprised me."

No one was around, so he smiled broadly, "Just go without worry, I will take over your position as the crown prince, and I will also stew soup with the rhinoceros horn that can save you."

……

The dark room set up by Chu Ning could not trap Nanzhi.

The dark room was pitch black and without any light, but she could tell where the arrow was shot from just by hearing, so she destroyed the mechanism easily.

It’s just a little difficult to get out.

It took her some time to find the switch to exit, and not long after she went out, she ran into Night Blade.

Chu Yi’s “death” made Chu Ning relax his vigilance. He didn’t expect that Ye Ren and the others would secretly come to the mansion to look for the Lingxi horn.

At that time, Ye Ren and others had already found the Lingxi Horn.

But he didn't take it to save Chu Yi, but gave it to Nanzhi.

Nanzhi thought that it would take some effort to get it from them, but it turned out to be so easy.

In addition to giving her the Lingxi horn, Ye Ren also handed her a large stack of silver bills, about tens of thousands of taels.

She was a little confused and looked at Night Blade: "Why don't you use it to save your master and give me so much money?"

Ye Ren said: "I want to do the same, but I cannot disobey the master's orders."

"The master said that you can take the Lingxi horn and the money and leave. I wish you a happy and carefree life in the future." Ye Ren left with the others after saying this.

Nanzhi subconsciously asked, "What about him?"

Ye Ren did not answer her and hurriedly disappeared into the night with the others.

Nanzhi looked at the Lingxi horn in his hand and thought of the countermeasures he had discussed with Chu Yi before.

Chu Yi faked his own death to reveal the whereabouts of the Lingxi Horn.

She was so happy when she knew she could find the rhinoceros horn that she forgot to ask him what would happen after faking her death.

How did he end up?

Ye Ren went back and told him that he had found the Lingxi horn, and he should wake up and continue to live.

No one knew what Nanzhi was thinking. After getting the Lingxi horn, he did not rush to take it, nor did he leave the imperial city. Instead, he randomly found a place to live.

After waiting for two days, he did not hear the news that Chu Yi had come back to life. Instead, he saw a team carrying a coffin passing by on the long street.

At the front of the team, she saw the empress with gray hair and the old and haggard emperor...

And the person in the coffin is... Chu Yi?
Nanzhi looked at the large, dark coffin, and the expression on her face faded unconsciously. She touched her chest, feeling uncomfortable for some reason.

She didn't believe that Chu Yi was really in the coffin, so she went straight to the East Palace.

The East Palace was dignified and quiet, with few people around.

She climbed in through the window out of habit and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at the window sill opposite. Every time she came, Chu Yi would sit there reading a book. When he saw her, he smiled and waved to her to come over.

At this moment, Chu Yi's figure appeared in front of her. With a smile on her face, she knew that Chu Yi was not dead.

After taking just two steps, Chu Yi's figure disappeared from the window.

The smile on her face disappeared, and when she stepped into the bedroom, she did not see Chu Yi.

She went to other places where Chu Yi would go, but there was no sign of him. When she returned to the main hall, her face was colder than ever.

She wanted to ask Ye Ren, but she didn't sense the presence of Ye Ren and his men in the dark.

Where on earth did this guy go?

If she caught him, she would kill him.

Nanzhi sat in the main hall for a while and was about to leave when her hand accidentally touched a button beside the bed. Suddenly, she heard a noise and saw the bed slowly move to the side, revealing a dark room.

She frowned, wondering why these royal people liked to set up dark rooms.

But thinking that Chu Yi might be inside, her eyes lit up and she walked in.

After entering, I didn't see Chu Yi.

Although the dark room was not as bright as outside, there was still light. The light came from a night-shining pearl placed on a shelf in the center.

The huge bead is priceless, and the faint blue light is so beautiful that Nanzhi can't help but touch it.

Apart from the night pearl, no other valuables were found. Instead, several locked cabinets were found.

Nanzhi used his internal strength to easily open the lock and saw what was inside.

In the first cabinet was the prince's dragon robe that she had torn into pieces.

In the second cabinet were two sets of wedding dresses, the ones they had worn together that day...

So this was not what he wore on his wedding day.

Nanzhi's eyes darkened as she opened the last cabinet.

It was a painting, depicting her by the river that night, with her hair loose, looking at someone with eyes full of love.

There is a sentence next to the painting.

【If we didn’t have a chance to meet in the previous life, we will meet again in the next life.】
