Upon returning to the palace, Xuanyuan Ye dealt with everything that needed to be done as quickly as possible.
As night fell, he could no longer contain his longing and left the palace to find Jiang Tian.
However, when he got there, he was dumbfounded.
The once lush, elegant, and charming courtyard is now nothing but ruins.
The black burn marks have been difficult to remove even after so many days.
My heart was beating faster and faster.
Xuanyuan Ye's face grew increasingly gloomy.
Upon returning to the palace, he neither summoned Qin Shaoqing nor received any letters on the way, assuming that the capital was at peace.
Now... what's going on?
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die."
Qin Shaoqing was already waiting there.
Once Xuanyuan Ye returned to the capital in triumph, he would naturally come looking for Jiang Tian.
He had been kneeling for several hours.
Seeing Qin Shaoqing's disheveled appearance, Xuan Yuan Ye asked with difficulty, "What... happened?"
"Your Majesty, Miss Jiang... she has passed away."
Xuan Yuan Ye's face turned pale: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Qin Shaoqing had practiced it a thousand times, his expression showing no flaw: "That night, the villa suddenly caught fire. By the time I got there, it was too late..."

Seeing that Xuan Yuan Ye was standing still, Qin Shao Qing silently handed the letter to him.
Xuanyuan Ye's hands trembled uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty, this letter is as if we are meeting in person. I recently discovered that I am pregnant. I have tried my best to hide it from you, and I have been tossing and turning at night, but I have not been able to come up with a solution that satisfies both parties."
“I told you I don’t want my child to die in the palace, but if I deliver the message to you, you certainly won’t let it go.”
"After much deliberation, I realized that with wolves in front and tigers behind, there was nowhere for me to hide in this world."
"I beg you to let me go, but you always take it as a joke."
"Life is full of suffering. I have reached a dead end. I don't want to see my child imprisoned, but I also don't want him to be alone on his journey to the underworld. I am willing to accompany him."
"Your Majesty, our relationship was nothing but a tragic one. After my death, I only hope that all past events will be forgotten and that Jiang Tian will never exist again in this world."
"May you find a true soulmate, live a long and happy life together, and grow old together."
