The East Palace Right Guard has died.
Although the Right Guard is only a sixth-rank official, killing him is akin to assassinating the Crown Prince, and even someone like Prince Fu, who came specifically to cause trouble, lamented his misfortune.
Guests on both sides of the red carpet exchanged glances, silent as if the chill of winter had struck them. None of them suspected that attending the spring hunt would drag them into such significant controversy.
The Crown Prince sat quietly behind the table, silently watching Prince Fu at the main seat, his thoughts inscrutable.
Prince Fu raised an eyebrow: "Why are you looking at me? If I wanted to kill, I'd kill you. Why would I kill a mere Right Guard?"
A shocked gasp spread through the entire gathering.
Zhou Kuang hurriedly whispered a reminder: "Your Highness, be mindful of your words."
