章 547: Sounds Of Killing Inside And Outside The Royal Palace

Inside the main hall of Hanguang Palace was a deathlike silence. Everyone's eyes were open wide in terror, looking at the scene. Other than dripping of blood landing on the bed, there was not another sound.

Blood dripped from Fan Xian's clothes and the sword. It followed the empress dowager's ear and wet half of the old woman's face before it gradually soaked into her clothes.

The sword shining with a cold light was set with unusual steadiness and coldness on the empress dowager's neck.

Since the inception of the country, this was the first time an assassin was able to penetrate so deeply into the Royal Palace and place a blade against the empress dowager's neck.

Including the eunuch aces, everyone was stunned and frozen. They watched with wide eyes as Fan Xian seized the empress dowager, unsure of what to do.
