At midnight, the young eunuch's blood splattered in the palace, and his last words were directed at Chengtian Palace. Gu Xiuyuan, the commander of the Forbidden Army, came to the scene and saw the late emperor's confidant Li Eunuch lying dead in front of the case. The embroidered spring knife was pierced through the chest. Only half a blood-stained tiger charm and scraps of paper with the words "Secret Edict" and "East Palace" were left at the scene.
The tiger talisman was stolen, the old servant died, and the black powder implicated the tribute of the feudal state. All the clues actually pointed to the equally powerful prince and Prince Jing.

He must find the real knife-wielder in the stormy sea and uncover the shocking secret behind the "Secret Edict", otherwise, the next night leak will be the cornerstone of the entire dynasty.
