The rebels brought by Prince Ma were also captured by the Imperial Guards who had been lying in ambush outside the palace.
Xiao Jin dragged Prince Ma's body out of the inner hall with a grim expression. "The Emperor and Empress Dowager were killed by Prince Ma."
As soon as Xiao Jin finished speaking, the people in the courtyard were so shocked that they were speechless.
The Grand Steward stumbled into the inner hall. In just a moment, his sorrowful wails rang out from inside.
"The Emperor has passed away. The Empress Dowager has passed away."
Emperor Kangze and Empress Dowager were killed by the traitor Prince Ma, and all the officials mourned their deaths.
At daybreak, the people in the palace began to prepare white banners, and the mourning hall was also erected.
Su Ying only found out about what happened last night during breakfast.
"Dead?"
"Yes. The Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and Prince Ma have fallen."
