Chapter 5077: 5.0829 Bad Luck

Although the female official Qiuye was startled, she quickly reacted and immediately stepped forward to salute Qiao Mu, expressing her gratitude, "Thank you, Crown Princess, for the warning."

If the Crown Princess hadn't spoken up so quickly just now, she didn't know what state she would be in.

Seeing how carefully the Crown Princess handled the corpse, it was clear that the toxins on the body were not simple.

How hateful that the killer, after murdering this woman and abandoning her in the chrysanthemum garden, even set a trap for everyone before leaving, leaving behind a source of poison. Truly sinister to the extreme!

Qiao Mu nodded slightly but didn't say much.

Only she knew best that the poison on the corpse was contagious.

Anyone who touched even a little would see the toxin quickly spread, and anyone who came into contact with them would also quickly contract this poison.

If it wasn't dealt with thoroughly, once this source of poison spread in the palace, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"That person won't escape too far." The more than twenty talisman arrays she set up were winding and labyrinthine. They could be integrated to function simultaneously or used separately to obstruct, intercept, or kill.

Only she knew best how to use them.

Even if that person had a divine artifact to guide them, they probably couldn't get out of her labyrinthine multi-layered talisman arrays.

Qiao Mu turned to Mo Lian and said, "You and Mother..."

"Mother stays here, I'll go with you," Crown Prince Mo immediately interrupted Qiao Mu, quickly standing by his wife and saying.

Are you kidding? How could he let his wife go after such a dangerous person alone? Absolutely not. He must go with her.

"Me, me, me! I'm going too!" How could she not watch the excitement? Bai Wuxia also quickly raised her hand to volunteer.

An old嬷嬷 (wet nurse/nanny) accompanying the Empress saw this and couldn't help but twitch her lips. She quickly raised her hand to pull down Her Imperial Highness the Empress's raised hand, coughing lightly, "Your Imperial Highness."

Can we please not get so excited at the sight of excitement...?

"Mother, aren't you going to the East side gate to check on Consort Fang's situation?" The little Crown Princess asked with a puzzled expression.

"Consort Fang?" Empress Bai, reminded by Qiao Mu, seemed to just remember Consort Fang's matter. She quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need. Your father should have already sent people there."

"Father?"

The Empress nodded repeatedly, saying with a cheerful smile, "Oh, you thought your father was completely unprepared? In fact, several days ago, your father had already noticed the unrest in the capital city."

"For days now, he has been sending people to strengthen defenses, and the hidden guards have already investigated the opponent's identity."

"Your father has been holding his forces back, just waiting for the other side to make a move and reveal their weaknesses," Empress Bai said with an expression of enjoying the show and not minding the trouble. "It was only just now, hearing the news of Consort Fang's danger at the East side gate, that Mother understood why these two fakes entered the palace at this time."

"They must have come to create chaos and provide cover for others," Bai Wuxia snorted. "They truly played a good game, but unfortunately, they had bad luck. The moment they entered the palace, they ran into my daughter-in-law."

Not only did they run into the real person, but they were also dealt with by the real person with one hand. Naturally, their fate was extremely poor.

Her Imperial Highness the Empress mumbled to herself for a while, then suddenly glanced at her son and daughter-in-law, only to see the young couple looking at her with identical expressions.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but inwardly chuckle, asking with a smile, "Are you both very impressed with Mother and your father?"
