The people of Yuanming: “I heard His Majesty is gravely ill. Prince Ming poisoned him.”
“His Highness Prince Ming spent three years fighting on the Beili frontier and only just returned after reclaiming the lost territory. How could it have been him?”
“I heard an order to execute the prince has already been issued. His Highness entered the Futian Realm at fifteen, making him the most gifted prince since the founding of the dynasty. Surely some schemer has set him up.”
“Alas...”
He Liu: Father was poisoned and bedridden for seven years. Everyone says I did it, and the whole realm is hunting me down, so I fled back to Youzhou. You set this trap just to take my life. Since I didn't die, then you're the one who'll die soon.
Bei Luo: The first time I left home, I met a strange person. He seems to have all kinds of stories, but I'm too embarrassed to ask outright. Never mind, I'll find out sooner or later!
