Chapter 805: Chapter 805: The Dowager Consort Group is Annihilated

Although this fellow really tries to do it, let’s see eventually whether the stomach acid of insects is powerful or the oxalic acid of plants.

Bai Junjun was thinking angrily, and Yuwen Luanfei, who was at the center of the vortex, also spoke up.

"I didn’t want to make a big fuss about it initially, but as the murderer becomes more crazed, I have to clarify things to protect everyone."

Yuwen Luanfei gave a gesture, and the slightly arrogant Imperial Guard Captain responsible for investigating this case appeared.

He first saluted Yuwen Luanfei and then greeted each Prince and Princess in turn.

"Share the case details you have."

"Yes."

After receiving the command, the Guard began explaining how the Corpse-Dissolving Liquid was discovered in the Empress Dowager’s Kuntai Palace and how traces were found in the palaces of the murdered Dowager Consorts.

These words made everyone step back continuously.

"Are you saying that the Dowager Consorts weren’t just missing, but were murdered? And that the murderer used the Corpse-Dissolving Liquid to obliterate their remains?"

The Eldest Prince was shocked.

After all, he had just seen his own Royal Mother yesterday and thought he would be able to take her away this morning, but now... she was dead?

Who could accept this!

"The truth is just so," Yuwen Luanfei said wearily.

Ever since the Dowager Empress died, he had been dispirited and felt overwhelmed knowing all the Dowager Consorts had disappeared today. It was already impressive for him to keep clearheaded and announce this to everyone.

Unexpectedly, something still went wrong on the final day.

If so, his concealment had lost its meaning.

Yuwen Luanfei sighed, feeling utterly exhausted.

While everyone still wore an expression of disbelief, they looked at each other and couldn’t help but say, "The murderer, could the murderer be among us?"

As this was spoken, everyone was stunned.

Although they were blood-related, the relationships within the Royal Family were fundamentally different from ordinary families.

None had true brotherly or sisterly affection; most often it was smiles in front while stabbing each other in the back, everyone had longstanding disputes with others since they were little.

Thus, everyone instinctively kept their distance.

The Eldest Prince said coldly, "I have always conducted myself uprightly; this matter is definitely not related to me."

"It has nothing to do with me either."

Everyone hurriedly tried to dissociate themselves.

Yuwen Luanfei massaged his forehead in frustration, "Regardless of who did it, the Imperial Capital is indeed not safe right now, it’s best if everyone leaves before the murderer starts killing indiscriminately."

"What about my Royal Mother?" one Princess asked somewhat resentfully.

This statement momentarily silenced everyone.

Although... but... one’s own life is more important!

Yuwen Luanfei looked at her powerlessly: "Princess, if you wish to stay and investigate, I will entrust this matter entirely to you."

"Don’t... don’t bother." The moment this Princess heard Yuwen Luanfei was willing to give her the investigation rights, she got a fright.

She did not want to take on such a dangerous task.

"I... I will return to my fief and wait for news, I hope my brother can give me an explanation soon."

As this Princess finished speaking, the others also came to their senses and bid their farewells one by one.

At this moment, the Imperial Capital was the most dangerous place; who could guarantee that if it wasn’t the Dowager Consort yesterday, it wouldn’t be themselves tomorrow?

Only a fool would linger.

If the Princesses and Princes had this thought, let alone mere nephews or relatives of the Dowager Consorts, they came to fetch the Dowager Consorts merely wanting to take back some dignity from The Celestial Family.

Now, with the murder case of the Dowager Consorts which could be big or small, and possibly even related to a struggle for succession, they did not want to be entangled in it.
