456 Queen's Fury (First update)

To make the plan succeed, she had distracted Long Yi, and she had to put out the massive fire herself. She also sustained injuries, and afterwards, she carried the unconscious Xiao Hen out of the Guozijian.

She thought everything would end there, but to her surprise, news spread from the Guozijian the next day that Xiao Hen had died in the fire.

Yet Xiao Hen was clearly lying right in front of her...

She distinctly remembered extinguishing the fire—so who had set it again afterward?

She couldn't help but recall the moment Xiao Hen, affected by the Paralysis Medicine, lay on the ground, watching as the fire spread inward from the window. When she revealed his identity, he had already been in despair, yet in that instant, his eyes were filled with struggle and pleading.

As if he was begging her to spare him.

It was only much later that she realized he might not have been pleading for his own life, but for the life of the innocent young man.
