Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 672

Amidst the dreadful silence in the Tranquil Hall, the emperor's body was lying on the bed. At the same time, Felix's body fell to
the ground while blood flowed all over him. The eunuchs and maids who were on duty to serve were also killed. Francis' arm was

"Do you know where Lucas is?" Francis inquired with so much suspicion in his tone.
