Bab 395: Assassinating the Qin Emperor

Many people rushed into the Royal Palace; but they couldn't do much as they watched the palace hall being swallowed by scorching fire. Even if the rainstorm occurred at the moment, the fire wouldn't be put out.

The eunuchs and the palace servant girls were standing around bewilderedly, and some of them cried out wretchedly. A few eunuchs showed a bemused countenance, thinking that the thing they had been good at in this life was wash away the blood after the Emperor had a fight with somebody; but the palace hall was burned down and the Emperor passed away. What can we do now?

The blaze was out of control; and there was no way to put it out. It had burned for three days and nights. The soldiers rushed to the ruins to search for the Emperor as soon as the fire burned out. They discovered that the silvers embossed on the posts had been melted into solid lava; the corpse of the Emperor was nowhere to be found.
