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.
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!!
