Chapter 478

Would Wang Yu rise his troops in anger over the death of Imperial Consort Fang?!

Many of the courtiers had this idea, making the atmosphere in Jinluan Hall solemn as if an impending storm was coming.

Some of the courtiers were uneasy, some were worried, and some felt that Empress Dowager Liu’s words were said too openly, forcing Imperial Consort Fang to set herself on fire and cause unfounded disaster to the court!

Yuan Minggang standing in the center was unconcerned about the commotion around him and continued his report. “…according to the royal guard’s investigation, although this charred corpse is wearing Imperial Consort Fang’s clothes, this person is not Imperial Consort Fang herself.”

What did he just say?! The civil and military court officials were stunned, and the palace hall suddenly fell into deathly silence. The courtiers who were whispering just now were all silent.

Some of the ministers with quick minds immediately realized something and showed a thoughtful expression.

Could it be that ……

Yuan Mingang was still reporting in an orderly manner. “According to the daily notes from the late emperor’s records as well as the pulse cases left behind in the imperial hospital, Imperial Consort Fang had once broken the leg bone of her right calf in a fall twenty years ago but the leg bone of the woman’s corpse that was found didn’t have any old fracture on it.”

“Furthermore, the reason why the fire in Tai’an Palace got out of control was because someone secretly poured kerosene into the surrounding area to aid the fire. The royal guards also found several barrels of kerosene that hadn’t been burned in the rubble after the fire; it can be roughly inferred that at least a dozen kerosene barrels had been poured.”New chapters are published on novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt - novelenglish.net . bin

Upon hearing this, the courtiers were once again in uproar.

Such a large quantity of kerosene would attract shop owners’ attention if they wanted to purchase it in the capital. As a woman living in seclusion, how could Imperial Consort Fang obtain such a large quantity of kerosene?!

Thus, this kerosene must have been brought into the Jiuqi Garden by others, and there were very few people who could do this.

Thinking of Wang Yu’s people who had just left the capital and returned to Yuzhou yesterday, all the courtiers had an answer in their minds.

Amidst the complicated gazes of the courtiers, Yuan Mingang stated his deduction. “I am certain that it was the third son of Wang Yu, Gu Xi, and County Princess Duan Rou who secretly took Imperial Consort Fang out of Jiuqi Garden afterward, and then arranged for someone to set the fire, and ordered a substitute to die in her place, faking Imperial Consort Fang’s death.”

As for why Wang Yu did this, at this moment, most of the courtiers present thought of one thing——

Wang Yu wanted to start a war!!
