The death of Princess Consort Ma not only stunned everyone in the Prince Residence greatly, but the rest of Beijing was also quite shocked and astonished.
Even Guo Ruomei was taken aback for a while upon hearing the news.
She still remembered the scene when the Prince led her into the Prince Residence back then, that frail and helpless appearance; even now, thinking about it was suffocating.
This woman was adept at playing the victim, feigning weakness, with a vitality tougher than a cockroach—how could she just die like this?
Worried about Xiao Yeyang and Daohua being implicated, Guo Ruomei immediately dispatched servants to inquire, and only after learning that the death of Princess Consort Ma had nothing to do with either of them did she rest easy.
The main gate of the Prince Residence was already adorned with white banners; by this time, families had started to come to pay their respects and set up roadside offerings.
