The man on the bed was dressed in white and his hair was combed well. A little palace maid was wiping his face with a veil. When he saw Wu Lei coming, he hurriedly stepped aside and knelt down.

He lay there too quietly, so quiet that he looked like a dead person. Wu Lei couldn't help but tremble and called in a low voice:

"Father?"

No one responded... The person who would always smile at him gently, and then turned to a little kindness and sorrow, had no movement anymore.

Wu Lei's tears fell down, and he rushed over, hugging his father's body and cried bitterly:

"Father... wake up... wake up, don't leave me... Father!"

He cried sadly, Zong Ai, who had been standing by the side, walked up to him and said in a sharp voice:

"Legitimate grandson, don't cry and ruin your body."

When Wu Lei heard this, he turned around and looked at Zong Ai's brain turning constantly, his eyes sharp, and he asked:

"My emperor's grandfather is not here, why are you here?!"

The displeasure in Zong Ai's eyes flashed, and then said pitifully: "Oh... the legitimate grandson, our family must have sent an order to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"What order is passed on? No one is gone!!! Your Majesty doesn't come to see his son?!!!" Wu Lei was so angry that he spoke wildly, scaring the palace maids and eunuchs in the house couldn't help but look up at him, and were frightened.

Zong Ai did not react anyway, rolled her eyes disdainfully, and snorted coldly and said:

"The legitimate grandson, you have to be careful when speaking. Your Majesty is Your Majesty after all, how can you arrange it at will? Our family came to pass the imperial edict when the prince was alive. Who knew that half of the edict was given... He suddenly passed away."

Wu Lei frowned, looked at Zong Ai's arrogant and domineering face in disbelief, stood up from the edge of the bed and questioned:

"It was you?...you killed my father? Is it?"

Everyone knew that the Crown Prince and Zong Ai were not in dealing with each other... He said so again. Wu Lei suddenly became angry and rushed up to kill Zong Ai.

Zong Ai was so scared that he hurriedly avoided and shouted: "Hold him! Hold him! The legitimate emperor grandson was too sad and was almost crazy. Why don't you hold him quickly!"

When the palace maids and eunuchs heard this, they hurried up to grab Wu Lei together.

The prince is dead, and the legitimate grandson is the prince's son. No matter how he counts, he is not as good as the eunuch who is trusted and favored by His Majesty.

So, no matter what was from the prince's uterus or from Zong Ai, they all ran over, knelt beside Wu Lei, surrounded him, cried and persuaded him, hugged his legs, held hands... they were all available.

Only the little palace maid who wiped the prince's cheeks looked up at the scene and immediately lowered her head, looking frightened and did not move.

Seeing that Wu Lei could not move, Zong Ai stood up again and explained with a grip on his face:

"Legitimate grandson, give our family courage, we dare not murder the prince! When our family came to announce the imperial edict, so many people were watching! If you don't believe it, ask them, how could our family harm the prince?!"

"Then why did my father go there suddenly?!" Wu Lei's voice resounded throughout the hall, his voice burst out, and his voice was hoarse.

Zong Ai then said helplessly with his sharp eunuch's voice:

"...How can our family know? He is reposting His Majesty's oral order. His Royal Highness suddenly vomited blood and fainted. You should ask the imperial physician!"
