章節 736: The Imperial Palace Breaks, the Emperor Falls (Ⅸ)

The third prince found what the man said to be a little odd, but he didn't think too much about it.

The only thing was...

He only got to take a couple of steps before the leading soldier walked up and blocked his way.

The next thing he knew, waves of sharp pain were stabbing through his chest.

"We are here to send you down the road to the netherworld. Please don't blame me, Your Highness!"

Extreme pain blurred his senses. Laughing and taunting echoed in his ears.

The third prince used the last traces of his energy to say two words. "You, you..."

Before he could finish the sentence, he gasped his life away. His body, soft as if boneless, collapsed to the ground.

The soldier kicked the prince's body to make sure he was dead. He then sent his men to toss the body into a well in the backyard.

As long as the body was swollen enough from being immersed in the water, it would be difficult to determine the time of death.
