In late April, some bad news arrived.
Hongnian's chief Fujin, Lady Tala, passed away due to illness.
This Fujin was only married last autumn, just fifteen years old.
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Master was taken aback: "What illness? How did she suddenly pass?"
"Your Majesty, it was sudden palpitations that came at night and she was gone by morning," Su Peisheng said, "Prince Huai's Fujin was likely born with this illness. The Imperial Physician indicated that it couldn't have appeared suddenly."
"Then Lady Tala deceived us? How can a Fine Lady with such an illness be selected?" the Fourth Master snorted.
It's just too unreasonable for a nephew to become a widower. What kind of situation is this?
The main issue is that Hongnian is already nineteen this year. The marriage was already delayed.
And now this incident happens, leaving the Fourth Master feeling sorry for the Late Crown Prince.
