They learned from Xue Yuan that Shen Lang had passed away and had decreed that Shen Jie would succeed him and Xue Yuan would supervise the country.The officials had doubts about the content of the imperial edict, and were later ordered to be placed under house arrest by Xue Yuan.
On the other side, Shen Lang, who was still alive, was sent to Xue Shu's palace. Seeing this, Xue Shu wanted to strangle Shen Lang to death.
