Since the Emperor said he would arrange new identities for them, it should be foolproof. Whether they remarry or not, at least their married life won't be uneventful. Whether their future days are noisy or bustling, at least they'll have something to look forward to.
When Yinzhen saw that both women had chosen to remarry, he ordered people to make the arrangements.
Half a month after Yinzhen summoned them, the two went to Yongshou Palace and asked to leave the palace to go to a temple for quiet meditation and to pray for the royal family.
Then the Empress agreed, and not only did she agree, she also gave him many rewards, and the Emperor also gave him many rewards.
Everyone in the harem was completely confused. What were Consort Wang and Consort Li doing? The Empress favored them, but she didn't mistreat the concubines. Their food, clothing, and daily necessities were better than those in the temple!

Consort Rong wondered to herself, "Could it be that the Emperor or Empress wants to deal with the concubines in the harem?"
