The Cold Palace was burned to ashes. The sorrowful mood, the crying accusation, the curse before death, and the deep despair all dissipated with the fire, leaving only shocking ruins and the rumors passed from people to people.
After the Shen family was executed for treason, after the crown prince was deposed and committed suicide, after Consort Mei was made the empress, after Fu Sheng became the new crown prince, the desolate Cold Palace suddenly caught fire at night and burned the deposed Empress Shen to ashes.
People sighed at the mention of this incident. The emperor of Ming Qi was benevolent. On account of the fact that she was the empress, he did not execute her along with the Shen family for treason. He spared her life and sent her to the cold palace. However, she still died in the fire.
History was written by the victors.
