Everyone dislikes the Empress Dowager. If she were to die because of this, the concubines who would outwardly mourn would probably be secretly laughing behind her back.
Wu Yunzhu went to the palace and chatted with her mother, Chen Yuwei, about all the gossip before leaving.
After leaving the palace, she did not return to the princess's residence, but instead visited the residences of several of her brothers.
What the two sides said in private is still unknown, but judging from the subsequent behavior of the Yikun Palace lineage, it must be related to their low-key approach.
'It's better to keep a low profile; at least the Emperor won't cause them trouble for no reason.'
The Emperor now attends court as usual, but his speaking time and the duration of his court sessions have been reduced.
Anyone with a keen eye could notice these unusual behaviors of the emperor.
But as mentioned before, even though they knew, they didn't dare to say it openly.
The reason is simple: the emperor's health is related to the entire Qing Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived at Cining Palace."
Gao Yu turned around, bowed, and helped the emperor down with a fawning expression.
Hongli was still a bit stiff from sitting for so long. He stretched a bit after getting up and gestured for Gao Yu to go knock on the door.
The gates of Cining Palace were knocked open, and the Emperor walked ahead, his hands behind his back, his back hunched and shoulders bent, looking just like a little old man.
"This servant greets Your Majesty."
"No need for formalities. How is the Empress Dowager doing these days? I've come to check on her."
"Your Majesty is well, Your Majesty."
Before the Empress Dowager's personal maid could finish speaking, the Emperor had already walked past her.
