Finally, Yan Wu restrained her feet and ordered her to make thirty more identical dolls based on the four dug-up ones, write the birth dates of the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, and Consort Zhao on each one, stick them with small needles, and bury them in the ground.
They said they wanted to see how long it would take to curse someone to death...
As for An Liangdi, the evidence was conclusive, and Yan Wuci had her beaten to death.
This not only deterred the restless people in the manor who were eager to cause trouble, but also made everyone in the manor think that the Crown Prince had gone mad!

In the afternoon, she came to Qingfeng Garden in person, holding Yan Chaoxi's hand and saying with lingering fear, "I never knew that Consort An had been harboring malicious intentions.
