Chapitre 297: Chapter 277: Purpose (One More Update)

Princess Sheng An had sat with the Empress for a short while when a report was sent in: someone had been murdered in the palace.

The Empress shot up, "Who?"

The eunuch reported, "It's the father and son duo, Zhao Lao and Zhao Fei. They've been killed."

The Empress turned to look at Princess Sheng An upon hearing the news.

Princess Sheng An nodded at her, "Let's go and see. Zhao Lao and his son Zhao Fei have been incarcerated in the palace for several days. It would happen today of all days. Let's find out what exactly occurred."

Understanding, the Empress realized that Princess Sheng An had come to the palace today waiting for this very incident.

When the Emperor was informed of the deaths of Zhao Lao and Zhao Fei, who had just been breathing, his vision blackened. The fact that Zhao Lao and Zhao Fei were killed shortly after the Rui'an King entered the palace to interrogate Zhao Fei suggested the Emperor's close circle had been infiltrated.
