Chapter 873 (1/2)

Hearing the news that King Cheng was poisoned, Emperor Jiahe vomited blood on the spot and fainted.

The first thing he did after waking up was that the commander of Xuan royal guards, Xiang Yun, ordered him to thoroughly investigate the case of King Cheng.

Xiang Yun led his subordinates to chengwangfu overnight.

It's a matter of great importance. Except for the fact that the bodies of the three King Cheng were moved to the icehouse, all the utensils in Li Huarong's room and his wife's new house, as well as the tea and food on the table, were all intact.
