Second half of the night.
Bai Xilie was still waiting for Feng Fuce's report.
He stayed outside his daughter's hall, reviewing memorials.
The Hidden Guard reported in secret that in the Capital, there were a few cases of smallpox infections.
Bai Xilie furrowed his cold brows.
At this moment, Eunuch Quan Xi quietly announced Feng Fuce's arrival.
"Emperor, the Marquis is back."
"Let him in."
The door was pushed open, letting the cold wind swirl inside.
"Well, did you burn it all?" Bai Xilie lowered his voice to avoid waking his daughter, asking.
The young boy's face was icy pale, he whispered in a deep voice, "No."
Bai Xilie's expression turned ugly all of a sudden.
He squinted at Feng Fuce, "Why did you not follow the Imperial Decree? Are you defying me?"
Feng Fuce lifted his head and looked straight into the Emperor's eyes.
He calmly said, "Just as the fire began, it rained. If the Emperor doesn't believe me, you can check for yourself."
Rained?
Bai Xilie froze.
