Chapter 660: Chapter 670: How to Settle

And with her son’s death, the various concubines no longer followed her commands.

However, her loss of power was only relevant within the palace walls, outside, she remained one of the prestigious four Dowager Consorts, her status unchanged by her son’s demise.

Therefore, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli reported to her just as they did before, without discrimination.

But for the other Dowager Consorts, it might not be the same, indeed, after escaping danger, they again began to speak coldly.

"Just now, sister was saying we mustn’t cry out, lest we invite deadly trouble. In my opinion, it’s fortunate we did, otherwise who knows what might have happened."

"Tsk, just look at her father to know, that Valiant Great General, and now he’s nothing but a laughingstock."

"At our age, it’s enough to know it in our hearts, there’s no need to bring it up again."

"You can’t say that, if we don’t make it clear to her, she’ll still think she commands troops like a deity. If we hadn’t cried for help just now, who knows how much longer the guards would have taken to come. Would not our old bones have been terrified and at risk?"

Bai Junjun had never imagined that at a time like this, the Dowager Consorts could still engage in infighting; it seemed the two years of living like ascetic monks had merely thinned them, with no other effect.

Bai Junjun didn’t want to listen to the aunties’ scheming and intrigue, so she left the control to the Dowager Consort and the Imperial Guards, letting them manage the prisoners and send messages and so forth.

She then went with Li Wenli to the Underground Palace to "clean up the remaining forces."

The crowd, looking at the bodies filling the courtyard, had a deep understanding of the two people’s ruthlessness, thus when they went to the Scripture Pavilion to exterminate the remnants, everyone was naturally a thousand times welcoming and a hundred times reassured.

And so, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were plainly visible in the Scripture Pavilion, frantically searching for traces of the Underground Palace.

The two were hand in hand the entire time, especially when they reached the location of the Underground Palace, where they were inseparable.

However, everything was normal here, without the slightest sign of triggering any space.

They persisted back and forth in this place until Yuwen Luanfei’s men entered, then sheepishly came out.

Yuwen Luanfei, who had been fully prepared at the Prince’s Mansion, hastened here as soon as he received the message.

Upon seeing the corpses strewn across the courtyard, he was both shocked and scared, and learning from the guards that almost all the deaths were by the hands of these two, Yuwen Luanfei trembled with even more fear.

How on earth did these two manage to erase more than three thousand people just like that?

When faced with questions, Bai Junjun usually had Li Wenli step forward to explain.

Li Wenli looked earnestly and devoutly at Yuwen Luanfei, "We succeeded by using several ancient formations; it’s the power of the Formation, and secondly, these people here have grown complacent and weak in combat, which is why we could handle them with ease."

Yuwen Luanfei’s eyes widened, "What Formation is so powerful?"

"That... we’ll discuss later, Your Highness. Please take care of this situation first."

With their words, Yuwen Luanfei’s thoughts were pulled back to the present.

He nodded seriously and began directing people to clean up the aftermath.

The Dowager Consorts declared that after witnessing such horrific events, they would never dare to stay here again; they would rather follow their late king to the grave than be forced to remain.

Yuwen Luanfei was left with a massive headache upon hearing this.

His Royal Mother was among the Dowager Consorts, and although he had taken control over the Imperial Capital, he had not yet ascended the throne, so he could not have his mother live with him.

But now, with this incident, he certainly did not dare to leave his Royal Mother behind; Yuwen Luanfei could only send the Dowager Consorts back to the palace first and discuss future arrangements with the Empress Dowager later.
