The raging fire burned for the entire night. The next morning, the streets were filled with rumors of the tragic news that Crown Prince Dayu was burned to death in the fire.

The news quickly spread throughout the city and even reached the majestic and magnificent Dayu Palace.

When Emperor Dongfang of Dayu heard the news, he was shocked as if the sky had fallen and the earth had split. He instantly turned pale and weak, unable to raise his breath, and his body swayed unsteadily. Finally, he fainted on the magnificent dragon throne. The old eunuch beside him panicked and shouted loudly: "Quick! Go and get the imperial physician!" Suddenly, the palace was in chaos.

After intensive treatment, the emperor finally woke up on his bed in the palace.

He looked dazed, his eyes were empty, and he kept repeating the crown prince's name - Si'er... Si'er... He could not bear the pain of losing Yun Jiusi, and his heart was filled with fear and despair.

The emperor struggled to get up, but his body was so weak that he could only stand with the support of the bed.

The emperor stared ahead, his vision blurred by tears, his heart filled with grief and sorrow. He couldn't believe that his beloved son had passed away like this, it all happened too suddenly, catching him off guard.

"Come here... I don't believe that Jiusi is gone like this. I want to go to Shilong Town to see it myself!" The emperor's eyes were full of pain and determination, as if only by seeing it with his own eyes could he accept this cruel fact.

He seemed to have made some kind of decision in his mind, and his tone was firm and resolute.

"No... Your Majesty, you cannot leave the palace now! The murderer who killed the crown prince has not been found yet. If you leave the palace rashly, it will definitely give those thieves a chance. If something happens to you, our Dayu empire will be in jeopardy."

The old eunuch persuaded anxiously, with a hint of urgency and worry in his voice.

After hearing the old eunuch's words, the emperor was slightly shocked, and his originally impulsive emotions were gradually replaced by rationality.

He slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

Yes, if he leaves the palace at this time, not only will he be in danger, but he may also cause chaos in the entire Dayu. He must think calmly and find a way to solve the problem.

After a while, the emperor opened his eyes again, with a determined light shining in them.

He knew that he shouldered the heavy responsibility of the country and should not lose his mind because of temporary grief.

He must first find out the truth of the matter, find out who was behind it, and seek justice for his dead son. Only in this way can he deal with the Crown Prince's funeral with peace of mind.

"Someone come..." the emperor called in a low voice.

In the darkness, a figure quickly appeared. Lan Yu jumped out from the darkness and stood respectfully in front of the emperor.

His eyes were firm, revealing an unshakable loyalty.

"Lan Yu, you have to go to Shilong Town now and do something for me. You must secretly find out the whole story of the prince's accident. I want to know the cause of the prince's death and who is behind it."

The emperor's voice was majestic and his eyes were sharp as he stared at Lan Yu, as if he could see the distant Shilong Town through him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lan Yu answered without hesitation.

He understood the emperor's trust in him and the importance of this mission. He would do his best to live up to the emperor's expectations.

After the emperor finished speaking, he clenched his fists tightly, his fingers were clearly visible and made a crackling sound.

His eyes were burning with anger, and he secretly swore in his heart that he would bring the person who hurt Yun Jiusi to justice. No matter what the cost, he would avenge his son.

The emperor arranged everything and began to summon important ministers in the court. He began to discuss sending an important official to Shilong Town to bring back the body of the crown prince.

On the other side, in a villa in Shilong Town, upon hearing the news that the crown prince had been burned to death in a fire, the man howled towards the sky.

"Father... I have finally avenged you! I have finally killed that man's son. Next up is his kingdom. I will overthrow his kingdom and take everything back from him."

The person who spoke was the young man in gorgeous clothes whom Ouyang Miaoling met at the border when she entered Dayu. He was Yun Yi, the son of the second prince of Dayu who was killed by Dongfang himself.

Back then, the second prince of Dayu was killed by Dongfang himself, leaving behind the young Yun Yi. Yun Yi had been carrying hatred since he was a child and was determined to avenge his father. After years of preparation and planning, he finally found the opportunity.

He used his intelligence and insidious means to successfully plan a series of conspiracies and schemes.

He deliberately set fire to the post station, which resulted in the crown prince being burned to death; he also designed a plan to infect the villagers with a strange disease in order to attract the crown prince to come to rescue, and finally succeeded in killing him.

Now that the crown prince is dead, Yun Yi's revenge plan has achieved a phased victory.

But he was not satisfied with this and continued to plan his next move.

"Master...what should we do next?" asked the trusted minister beside him.

Yun Yi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile: "Return to Kyoto. Now that the crown prince has passed away, there must be chaos in the capital. What we have to do now is to go back and muddy the waters in the capital to make that man lose his composure. We have been preparing for so many years, now is the time to take action."

After he finished speaking, a sinister light flashed in his eyes, as if he saw the goal he was about to achieve.

And this ray of light also indicates that a bigger storm is brewing, which will sweep across the entire Dayu Dynasty.

When Nangong Mingxuan got the news, he felt a fishy-sweet taste in his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

Feng Xing was quick to move and quickly went over to support Nangong Mingxuan.

Feng Xing was also very sad when he saw his master in pain, but he still comforted him: "Master, don't say that. This is just an accident. We can't be sure whether the young master is really in trouble. Moreover, Wushang has already gone to get the news. I believe we will get the exact result soon."

Nangong Mingxuan nodded and tried to calm himself down. He was filled with endless regret and self-blame. He knew that if something really happened to the young master, it would be a pain in his life.

The most important thing now is to wait for Wushang to bring back accurate news, rather than just blaming yourself and feeling regretful.

He took a deep breath and said, "Feng Xing, I will be strong. No matter what, I will find the whereabouts of the young master."

Feng Xing breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Nangong Mingxuan had regained some of his sanity, he felt much more at ease.

He knew that Nangong Mingxuan was a strong man. As long as he was given time,

He will definitely be able to get out of this predicament. However, they did not know that this fire was not a simple accident, but someone deliberately set it up.
