Emperor Muwu slightly moved his gaze, and the eunuch chief let someone in.
The Yulin Guards entered and knelt down, respectfully reporting, "Your Majesty, Prince Qing suffered a sudden illness last night. When the prison guard brought his meal this morning, his body was already stiff."
Emperor Muwu's expression flickered, but in the end, he sighed.
There were only a few of their nine siblings left.
In ordinary families, for a bit of power and wealth, people would fight to the death.
Not to mention in the royal family.
The Yulin Guards were still waiting.
Emperor Muwu said, "Return his body to his family."
Out of the last bit of brotherly affection.
"Yes!" The Yulin Guards received the order.
Those implicated by Prince Qing's household wouldn't be executed or exiled.
But Prince Qing seemed to have some foresight and didn't involve his own children, so they were merely demoted to commoners, able to preserve their lives.
