Chapter 347

"Wei Zhongxian!"

"This servant is here!"

"Bury these old men properly. Also, exile these people to the border for three years of hard labor. As for the Cui clan members, throw their corpses into the forest outside the city to feed the wild dogs."

"This servant obeys!"

Wei Zhongxian agreed and ordered people to get busy.

Some carried corpses, some cleaned the ground, and some escorted the criminals.

In less than an hour.

The palace gate was restored to its original state.

The clean white marble floor was spotless, with no trace of blood.

Those incited commoners also followed the guards to where they were supposed to go.

Before leaving, they were still kowtowing to Qin Mu in gratitude, looking back every three steps.

In the blink of an eye.

The palace gate was restored to its original state.

Peaceful and clean.

The onlookers around also gradually dispersed.

Only Li Er and Fang Xuanling remained standing in place; it was not until dark that they disappeared into the night.

Night fell.

Everything was silent.

The four doors of the palace sleeping quarters were tightly closed.

Wu Meiniang was wearing thin clothes, enduring the bone-chilling cold, standing quietly at the door.

Ever since Qin Mu returned to the palace, he had locked himself in the sleeping quarters.

Except for Princess Li Xueyan, no one was allowed to enter.

Empress Zhangsun was originally worried, but today's scene had frightened Princess Changle.

With no other choice.

She had to go back first to comfort Princess Changle.
