Mr. Mingyuan always felt that a brave Miner like Steve shouldn't have ended his life so hastily, and considering the recent undercurrents at the Imperial Court, he suspected the minister had been assassinated by hostile forces or possibly encountered Endermen on his way home.
The news of the minister's death had a profound impact on the Imperial Court; the Third Prince's banquet ended early, and the Chamber of Commerce envoys from various planets returned to their rooms.
The palace was filled with the scent of conspiracy everywhere.
The news claimed the minister had committed suicide, but Mr. Mingyuan noticed that the number of palace patrols had doubled. He had planned to take a walk with Jiuyue on the small bamboo path to the north of the palace after dinner, but their faces were blinded twice by the strong flashlights within five minutes.
It was so bad that Jiuyue was almost incensed.
Everyone was tense, including the members of the patrol teams.
