Li Xuan stayed in the East Palace until dusk before finally emerging.
He had searched the East Palace thoroughly but had found no clues. He had also questioned those present but to no avail, and the whole process had taken up until dusk.
"Please assign a group of reliable elites to preserve all items in the East Palace, including furniture, bedding, food, tableware, plants, etc. Do not allow anyone to touch them. And those people..."
As Li Xuan was talking to Zuo Daoxing, he glanced at the imperial physicians, eunuchs, and palace maids outside the gate of the East Palace: "You may use methods of coercion, but until the truth of this case is revealed, there should be no deaths or injuries among these people here."
He knew that after such a great event in the East Palace, these people were mostly to be implicated and imprisoned, and even their lives might be in danger, yet the vast majority of them were innocent.
