The guards were also startled by the sudden chaos, and they looked around nervously with their weapons, trying to figure out what had happened.

But panic spread quickly like a plague, and they couldn't help but be drawn into it.

Some palace maids fell while running, knocking over flower pots and candlesticks, turning the originally tidy palace into a mess.

The eunuchs shouted to other guards and officials in a panic, and the entire palace seemed to be plunged into doomsday-like chaos. The majestic palace was now more like a terrifying place invaded by demons.

The emperor heard the noise outside in his palace, frowned, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

When he learned of the Empress Dowager's death, his face instantly turned ashen, and his eyes burned with the flames of anger, as if he wanted to burn the whole world to ashes.

"This is outrageous!" the emperor roared, his voice echoing like thunder in the palace, causing pain to the eardrums of the people around him. He slammed the table, and the teacups and documents on the table were scattered all over the place.

The emperor's body trembled slightly with anger, and he had never been so angry before.

The Empress Dowager was his closest relative and the pillar of the royal family, but now she was brutally murdered in this palace. This was a serious trampling on the dignity of the royal family.

"Investigate! We must investigate to the end!" the emperor roared, the anger in his eyes almost turning into substance.

He ordered the mobilization of all available forces, whether palace guards, intelligence personnel, or court officials, to participate in the investigation.

No clues related to this matter could be spared, and he vowed to make the murderer pay a painful price, blood for blood, and life for life.

Soren and Imperial Concubine Maryasha hurried over after hearing the news of the Empress Dowager's death.

Their faces were extremely solemn, and their eyes were full of sadness and worry.

Soren clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, his lips pursed into a straight line, and the anger in his heart rolled like a raging tide in his chest.

But he knew that he could not be overwhelmed by anger at this moment. He suppressed his anger and looked at Imperial Concubine Maryasha.

Imperial Concubine Maryasha's eyes showed deep solemnity. She knew that the death of the Empress Dowager meant that the royal family was in a deeper crisis. She frowned slightly, her mind racing.

This series of events was obviously premeditated. The death of the Empress Dowager was by no means accidental. There must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind it, and this conspiracy was likely aimed at the entire royal family.

She looked at the panicked crowd around her, looked at the angry emperor, walked to Soren, and said softly: "We must remain calm. Now the palace is in turmoil, and the murderer may still be watching in the dark. We can't let the tragedy happen again."

Soren nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

"You're right. We must find the murderer as soon as possible, stabilize the situation in the palace, and not let the royal family fall apart because of this."

The two of them knew that in this critical moment, they must become the pillars of the royal family and protect the last dignity and peace of the royal family.

The Emerald Palace at night was shrouded in silence, and only the inner hall where Queen Elizabeth was located was still lit with a faint candlelight.

Among the many pieces of information, she keenly captured a suspicious point that she cared about very much.

The unusual number of meetings between Royal Guardian Lebar and the Empress Dowager aroused her vigilance.

They met in public places every time, surrounded by guards. It stands to reason that there could be no unspeakable affair in such an environment. However, it was this seemingly normal meeting that made Elizabeth feel that something was wrong.

Elizabeth frowned, her eyes full of doubt, and she couldn't help but whisper to herself: "What is the connection between Lebar and the Empress Dowager?"

She knew that in this court, everyone's behavior had a deeper meaning behind it, especially for people of such noble status as them. Every move was watched by everyone, and they should be more cautious in their actions.

If there was nothing of utmost importance, the two would never meet so frequently.

After all, their identities were very different. The Empress Dowager was extremely honorable. Although Lebar was the Royal Guardian, he should not have so much contact with her.

"You want to know!" A voice suddenly sounded in this silent inner hall. The voice was both strange and familiar, as if it came from the dark abyss, with a hint of icy coldness.

Queen Elizabeth was struck by lightning, and her heart was shocked. The intelligence paper in her hand almost fell.

She turned her head abruptly, and what was reflected in her eyes was a tragic scene: her head lady-in-waiting and maids were lying scattered on the ground, and blood spread from their bodies, forming a large pool of blood.

The bright red color was particularly dazzling in the candlelight, and the bloody smell instantly filled the entire inner hall, and the shadow of death swept towards Elizabeth like a tide.

The person who came was Lebar. His figure looked even more gloomy and terrifying in the dim candlelight.

In his hand, he was holding the head lady-in-waiting's bloody head. Blood was still dripping from his fingers, dripping on the ground, making a chilling sound, as if the countdown to death was ticking.

The head lady-in-waiting's originally gentle face was distorted by fear at this moment, her eyes were wide open, as if she could not rest in peace, and her hair was scattered in a mess, making people feel horrified at a glance.

"How is it possible?" Queen Elizabeth widened her eyes, her heart full of horror.

She knew that the strength of a Saint-level powerhouse was extraordinary, but she did not expect that he could break through the heavy guards silently, and kill the people around her so easily. This kind of powerful strength and ruthless methods far exceeded her imagination.

Her body shrank back involuntarily, but behind her was the bed, and there was no way to retreat. She could only brace her sick body and look at the demon-like man in front of her vigilantly.

"I expected it right, you really guessed something, it seems I didn't make a trip for nothing." The corners of Lebar's mouth raised slightly, with a hint of complacency. He casually threw the head away, and the head drew an arc in the air and rolled to the side of Queen Elizabeth's bed, stopping at her feet.

Elizabeth only felt a chill rushing from the soles of her feet to her heart. She tried to calm herself down and looked at Lebar with questioning eyes.

Queen Elizabeth asked: "Lord Lebar, what is the purpose of your doing this?"
