Even Prince De couldn't be handled properly, and she ended up killing him. What use did she have for such a foolish and clumsy son? His death was a good thing, sparing her the trouble he might have caused her later on.
"Has any other news come out of the palace?" she asked again.
"No, none."
The maid stammered in response.
What news could possibly come out of the palace? It was all under the control of Third Prince.
Even when people from the Princess Imperial Residence went out, they had to be careful. If they went too far, they would be interrogated. A single misstep could lead to being locked up, never to see the light of day again.
Moreover, even if there was news from the palace, they weren't capable of finding it out. Casually inquiring about it would be no different from courting death.
The Princess Imperial narrowed her eyes, her face twisted into a ferocious expression.
"In the end, the one who sits on that throne turns out to be him, how utterly unexpected."
