Logically, there should have been guards from Da Nei coming to protect or rescue when such a commotion arose in the Queen Consort's sleeping chamber. However, strangely enough, not a single guard came to help, even as the fire in Jiya's sleeping palace burned fiercely.
Legend had it that the King of the Xianbei Empire adored his Queen Consort, and despite her being nearly twenty years his senior, during his reign, he had eyes only for her. He took only one Imperial Concubine, and that was under the coercion of the Queen Consort herself.
But now, as the Queen Consort's sleeping chamber was engulfed in flames, there was no response from the King, which proved that rumors were highly unreliable. Perhaps the King of Xianbei didn't even love this Old Witch at all, and only pretended to be affectionate out of fear. It's possible that at this moment, he was praying for the fire to burn the Old Witch to death!
"Bang——"
