Rong Qingqing was truly shocked this time.
"Burned to death?"
"To be precise, she was killed by smoke inhalation." Xie Jingxuan paused, then explained, "When the news came, I went to confirm it myself. It was indeed Guo Li who died. The fire started in the middle of the night. She probably tried to escape and accidentally knocked over a candlestick. As a result, the door was locked, and she couldn't get out. The old women I sent to look after her noticed the fire, but by then it was already quite large. Although the fire was eventually extinguished, Guo Li had already been killed by smoke inhalation. Her body was charred, including her face, but she was still recognizable."
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing understood what he meant.
He meant that although Guo Li's body was somewhat charred, it was still recognizable, confirming that it was undoubtedly Guo Li who had died.
So, Guo Li is really dead.
It was quite sudden that he died like that.
She didn't know what to say.
Guo Li is really unlucky.
However, in this way, whether she is Rong Yiyi or not is no longer important.
Shangguan Yanran and Feng Xin, who were standing to the side, were also stunned by what they heard.
"He died just like that?" Feng Xin broke the silence, still somewhat incredulous. Of course, she was only surprised, not sympathetic towards Guo Li.
That woman harbored malicious intentions and deserved to die.
“Yes, he’s dead.” Xie Jingxuan nodded.
Rong Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "Let them bury him."
"Alright, I'll give the order right away." After saying that, Xie Jingxuan bowed to her and took his leave.
After he left, Shangguan Yanran said with a sigh, "When she appeared at the birthday banquet with that face, I thought it would cause a lot of trouble, but I didn't expect it to end like this."
Feng Xin snorted coldly, "Fortunately, heaven has eyes and dealt with that woman."
"Alright, that's enough. Let's go for a walk somewhere else." Rong Qingqing changed the subject.
The two then stopped talking.
Zuo You is an insignificant person.
The three of them played until the sun was setting before they parted ways.
After leaving the palace, Shangguan Yanran did not go straight back to her residence, but instead took a detour to buy some things.
It was already evening when we arrived at the Prime Minister's residence.
Clutching the storybooks and picture albums she had just bought, she jumped off the carriage like a thief and headed straight for the mansion gate.
Thinking that she had longed for this picture book for a long time and had finally obtained it, she was determined to take a good look at it when she got back to her room. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel excited.
However, she mustn't let her father see these things, or she'll get a scolding.
But just as she stepped into the mansion, she bumped into Fu Rongchen who came out from inside. The stack of storybooks and picture books she was holding fell to the ground with a clatter.
Shangguan Yanran was stunned and couldn't react for a moment. She stared wide-eyed at the handsome, refined man in a blue robe in front of her.
"You..." Fu Rongchen was about to say something, but when he saw the books and picture albums scattered on the ground, he couldn't help but squat down and try to help her pick them up.
However, the moment he extended his finger, his cool and handsome face turned bright red upon seeing the illustrations in the open book.
He knew that Shangguan Yanran liked to read some leisure books or romance novels in private. Last time, he had caught her writing explicit passages on the novel she had dropped on the ground, but he never expected that this girl would be so audacious as to actually peek at erotic pictures.
