章 74: Aftermath

As the sun peeked from the eastern sky and as it slowly rose higher, some people were getting anxious as well.

A few hours ago, everyone received news that the Emperor had returned to the palace. With the news of the Emperor returned, the palace was sealed off. The residence of the palace received a decree that none of them were allowed to leave their palace.

They were all getting anxious and could not help to find the chance to meet the Emperor and prove their innocence. Even if they had nothing to do with the incident, a lot of them was worried that they might be implicated or used as a scapegoat.

It was said that there were too many people who died in the incident. The Emperor heard the number of casualties reported and was furious. Not only the soldiers had died, but there were a large number of public casualties as well.
