The Emperor is most averse to interference in politics by the harem. As the Princess Consort of Ling, she doesn't interfere with Xie Jingyan, but Shen Ying runs around causing trouble. No wonder the Emperor can't tolerate it.
Dong'er said, "The Princess Consort of Jin knelt on the ground begging for mercy. The Emperor ordered her to be dragged away. She couldn't bear the shock and fainted as soon as she left the Imperial Study."
It's normal for Shen Ying to be devastated. She didn't get her position as the principal wife easily. Shen Rong sacrificed her whole life for it, and Shen Li even lost his life. As a result, she was demoted to a concubine by the emperor because she criticized her. This blow could definitely kill Shen Ying. Oh, and there's also the old lady.

Shen Wan was surprised, "No?"
Yinshuang said, "The Empress is asking the Emperor to consider that the Princess Consort of Jin—no, the Princess Consort of Jin—is pregnant and is responsible for the continuation of the royal line, so please be lenient and not demote her to a concubine..."
"But the Emperor said that a monarch's word is law, so the Empress advised him that a pregnant woman's bad mood is not good for the pregnancy. This made the Emperor even angrier. He said that if she was demoted to a concubine, she would not be willing to produce offspring for the royal family. He would not mind giving her a bowl of infertility medicine. After that, the Empress dared not advise him anymore."
