Bab 1551: Chapter 1551: Couldn't Be the Retired Emperor, Could It?

But just then, a major incident occurred.

"My lord, Prince Zhan Yun, something terrible has happened."

A palace guard rushed over in a hurry, his voice tinged with panic as he knelt before them.

"What could be so alarming?"

Eldest Brother Yan frowned and asked. It wasn't the old emperor's bedchamber; what else could be so serious? Were the women in the harem trying to cause trouble?

That was impossible. All palaces were strictly regulated, and anyone who dared to make a fuss would implicate even their maternal families. Even the Empress wouldn't dare to overstep at such a time.

"There has been an incident in Jingyang Palace; Prince You has been poisoned."

"What?!"

Upon hearing the guard's words, Eldest Brother Yan almost leapt up in surprise.

Had the old emperor gone mad? To target Prince You, who was an ancestor, a genuine ancestor; how could he dare to set his sights on Prince You?

"Who is Prince You?"
