Ling Yan heard it, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly; her daughter, Consort Fei, had ignited a fire to commit suicide. Truly, Fei's daughter was someone unfamiliar with worldly affairs, and frankly, being implicated in this was quite unfortunate.
Yet if the grass is not eradicated, it grows again with the spring breeze. Who can guarantee that one day she won't seek revenge for her mother?
The Fei Family also needs to be annihilated; it's best to eliminate the root.
"Since you witnessed it, why did she set herself alight?" Ling Yan spoke, "Could she not know she was to be executed soon?"
The Imperial Guard General heard this and quickly knelt to plead for punishment, "Your Majesty, I am willing to accept my guilt and punishment."
"Stand up," Ling Yan indicated, "Since she was going to die anyway, whether by suicide or execution, it makes no difference."
"You may leave."
The Imperial Guard General bowed and departed from the palace.
Could she truly be dead?
