The news of Nan Tianzong's death reached Gongzhou City. Zhao Dun, who had been full of vigor and fantasizing about continuing his military campaigns and expanding his territory, was utterly stunned.
He collapsed onto the dragon chair, speechless for a long time.
For three days and nights, he locked himself alone in the sleeping palace, neither eating nor drinking.
The entire city quickly dressed in plain mourning clothes, with the people donning white and lamenting the sudden death of Highness Zhao Heng.
When Zhao Dun reappeared in front of everyone three days later, his eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed even more deranged than during his previous bout of insanity.
