When they heard Li Cheng's words, the eunuchs and palace maids in Consort Li's palace couldn't help but shiver and collapse onto the ground.
Seeing this, Li Cheng coldly glanced at them, "Already thinking of dying, huh? Get up and fetch water to put out the fire!"
A bunch of useless waste, and now they are scared?
When you left Consort Li in the palace, did you forget about your heads?
But, for a palace to catch fire in broad daylight with people coming and going, something's definitely wrong!
I just don't know who is behind this scheme.
Squinting at the steam-twisted air not far away, Li Cheng's mind was filled with guesses.
...
It wasn't until evening that the palace, burned to rubble, finally stopped smoldering, leaving ashes everywhere.
Upon seeing this, Li Cheng instructed a few young eunuchs, "Go in immediately to search for Lady Li. Alive, see the person; dead, see the corpse!"
"Yes!"
People quickly entered the ruins to search for Consort Li's body.
