How could a prince who was struggling to make ends meet possibly have the energy to take care of his younger brother?
But looking at Consort De's face, the nanny knew that she wouldn't listen to any advice right now.
"This servant will go and deliver a message to the Fourth Prince."
After giving some instructions, Consort De fell ill that very day. When Emperor Kangxi received the news, he didn't say he would visit her; he simply said he knew, and then Consort De's green plaque was removed.
Unable to see Emperor Kangxi, Consort De could only try to investigate the matter of Anning falling into the water. She made quite a fuss, and Emperor Kangxi also found out about it.
Emperor Kangxi did not stop her. Since Consort De wanted to investigate, he let her investigate and see what she could find out.

With both feet firmly on the ground, looking at the majestic palace gates before me, I felt inexplicably stifled. Once inside, it would be difficult to get out again.
"Greetings, Consort Shu."
"Get up. Who are you?"
“This servant is Wang Shun from the Qianqing Palace. His Majesty specifically instructed this servant to escort Her Highness into the palace.”
It was someone from the Qianqing Palace again. Logically speaking, the arrangement by the Noble Consort who was in charge of welcoming the concubines into the palace would have been enough to show respect, but it turned out to be the Emperor Anran.
Emperor Kangxi thought too highly of her, which made Anning inexplicably uneasy.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your great kindness. Please lead the way, Eunuch Wang."
"Your Majesty is too kind. Please come with me."
