Chapter 582: The Consort’s Death
No man would ever enter the sleeping chamber of a consort; only eunuchs at best.
This was an iron law; even a prince or the crown prince couldn’t violate.
It was a palace with an entrance made out of jade stones and great pillars. The walls were made from golden bronze; roof tiles were made from glazed crystals. Only a Divine Consort could enjoy this extravagant palace with powerful inner guards.
Unfortunately, these inner guards were all dead.
Inside the chamber was a three-foot-tall cauldron burning white-orchid incense. This precious scent still wasn’t enough to hide the stench of blood, especially harsh once noticed.
Feiyun’s eyes narrowed and saw a wondrous beauty lying in a pool of blood; a sword had pierced through her chest from the back, staining her white dress red.
This great beauty had an elegance and grace beyond other pretty women. She was obviously Consort Luo.
She didn’t participate in this power struggle yet still died because of it. Her mouth was to blame for this. If she didn’t tell her clan master about the secret letter, this news wouldn’t have leaked.
Thus, it didn’t matter how beautiful, influential, and powerful someone was. Talking too much might lead to death.
The mouth was a source of disaster - everyone knew this. Alas, few could truly keep a secret, especially women whose nature inclined towards gossiping.
Did the crown prince kill her?
No!
