"Your Majesty, Prince Heng committed suicide in the prison last night…"
"What did you say?"
As soon as the eunuch spoke, Emperor Hong Wen jumped up, "Prince Heng committed suicide? Why wasn't it reported to me? What are the officials from the Ministry of Justice doing?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Prince is safe. Fortunately, the prison guard discovered it in time and saved him."
Calm down? How could he possibly calm down?
Xiao Ziheng did something so reckless.
He even wanted to end his life in prison, which infuriated Emperor Hong Wen.
He gritted his teeth, "Since he wants to die, I might as well grant him death!"
It would save him from further trouble.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of your health."
The eunuch knew that Emperor was just venting his anger.
Emperor had few heirs, with three imperial princes dying in their early years.
