บท 112: This Was Merely the Beginning

The situation was more serious than Mo Lian expected, so he did not plan to hide it from his mother and explained the events that happened on his journey back to his mother.

Hearing the peril that the crown prince experienced on his return to the capital, Queen Zhao's face turned pale from fright. She grasped onto the crown prince's hand and asked, "Were you harmed?"

"Mother, don't worry. Your son is unharmed," Crown Prince Mo comforted. "As for the root cause of this matter, your son has already ordered Yu Xiu to investigate it. However, currently, from the looks of it, it should be related to the mutation of corpses. Therefore, a thorough search will need to be led inside the city for the next few days with the focus being families who held a burial recently."

Queen Zhao nodded furiously.

"Royal Mother, I'm afraid Guanlan City will be chaotic for a while. You and Twelfth Brother should stay inside the palace for now and not go out."
