"Prince Nine's incident that year... the news didn't spread widely, but there were a few who knew about it, he... died in the Empress Dowager's chambers."
"What?" Chu Qianli was so shocked she almost leaped to her feet.
Feng Dingchu hadn't run away from home that year, he had, in reality, died.
A young hero, at the peak of his prominence, died in the chambers of his own birth mother.
Why then, had he lived on like a walking corpse until now? Could it be that his death back then was related to the Empress Dowager?
"I don't know much about the events of that year, but if he truly is Prince Nine... it's probably not safe for him to stay in the palace either."
The Imperial Family's secret history is something no one can fathom.
But if he had indeed died once before, now that he's returned, if certain people find out, he might just die all over again.
Moreover, hasn't he already been poisoned?
Being poisoned within the palace, isn't that already obvious?
