章 973: Fighting

"There were only two of them that spoke. After being tortured for a while, they were sure that someone else had already confessed. Even if they didn't say anything, we already knew what happened. They knew it would be useless to hold on. Even if they speak or not, they know they will die, so some of them choose to confess to have an easier death."

"Actually, when they confessed, they didn't know much. It's more or less like what the traitor told us. It's just that their king saw a child. Not long after, he sent someone to Huaishu Village in Pingan Town of Xinyuan County to kill Xue Yan, who should be the Crown Prince. 

"As for the pregnant Empress, she is living in Xue Yan's house. When they arrived at Xinyuan County, they accidentally discovered that the Empress Dowager was staying at Jufang Inn. That was why they decided to kill the Empress Dowager first before killing the rest.
