The families of the officials who received the news of the deaths stumbled and cried their way into Zhaohai Palace.
Eleven officials perished in Zhaohai Palace this time. The highest-ranking among them was Minister Li. The first to rush into the hall were Mrs. Li and her daughter-in-law. Upon seeing the corpses of Minister Li and Li Boyuan, grandmother and granddaughter fainted one after another.
The skies of Da Liang have fallen, and so have the skies of the Li Family.
The other women all cried out in grief, with several fainting from their wailing.
Jiang Shaohua had already instructed the Imperial Physician to stand by, ready to administer emergency acupuncture to those who fainted and did not wake.
Additionally, the hall housed heavily injured high officials, such as Prime Minister Wang, who was still unconscious; General Bao, who struggled to speak; and the Left General, whose injuries were lighter. Their families were also summoned.
