Gu Chengyan shifted all the blame onto Emperor Xiao: "I did not intend to kill my third uncle. It was Emperor Xiao who had a falling out with my third uncle and wanted to kill him."
"You're really something, trying to steal Zhaozhao's dowry and the Xie family's connections. You even killed your own uncle!"
She pointed at Guan Yingying and asked, "What's the story with this woman? I've heard she's the daughter of that old scoundrel Guan Shanyue?"
After Emperor Xiao ascended the throne, Guan Yingying exonerated the Guan clan, and she openly and legitimately recalled Guan Yingying.
Consort Xi did not discuss the matter of exonerating her; instead, she asked her how she had harmed Xie Zhaozhao.

"You, cut every single person in the Gu family a hundred times, then hang them up and burn them all!"
At the place where the wronged souls are, she watched with her own eyes as they screamed and were all burned to death!
"Zhaozhao, from today onwards, every day your aunt lives will terrify those who harmed us!"
Consort Xi has gone mad!
