When Prince Yi saw that Prince Qing died, his eyes widened in shock. Prince Yi did not believe that Prince Qing would actually kill himself. After pleading for his life as a child and killing himself, Emperor Hao would definitely feel guilty towards him, so naturally, he would be fine.
However, the two palace maids kneeling not far away might not have the same fate.
This was because Prince Qing actually brought two palace maids with him. This was quite strange. Normally, wouldn't it only be he and his mother leaving? Even if his health wasn't good, it wasn't like he couldn't find someone to serve him outside the palace. In order to prevent these two palace maids from being captured alive and accidentally spilling more secrets, he had to somehow tie these two maids to him.
