The second version was that the other concubines of Fu Chai were jealous of Xi Shi gaining so much favour from Fu Chai that they killed her shortly after the demise of Wu.

 Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI; San Goku Shi XI; 三国志11 - Kongming's Archives
Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI, a single-player strategy game which mixes traditional gameplay with key RTS genre map concepts, is the eleventh installation in Koei’s historic series, Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Characters and events in Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI are inspired by the namesake novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Sanguo Yanyi; 三国演义), written in the Ming Dynasty, 14th century, by famous Chinese author Luo Guanzhong.
Events in Romance of the Three Kingdoms are, in majority, based on historic government records from the Three Kingdoms era of Chinese history—a chaotic period marred with civil war as famous warlords fought amongst themselves for control of China—and further romanticized through storytelling, folklore, and the mind of a brilliant author.
