"How is Consort Chen?" the Empress asked, her voice trembling with fear.
If Consort Chen is alright, then the matter can naturally be put to rest.
But if Consort Chen dies... then not only her three clans, but her nine clans will probably all die!
Zhou Ruhai, with a mournful face, shook his head: "Your Majesty, please go back quickly, lest you..."
Zhou Ruhai didn't say anything more, but the Empress understood and hurriedly left.
I originally wanted to visit Consort Hui in the imperial prison and ask her why she did this, but I didn't dare to ask.
At this moment, Consort Hui in the imperial prison was unusually calm.
Even when someone specifically told her that her parents and brothers had been killed because of this, she remained incredibly calm and indifferent.
Late into the night, Consort Hui whispered to her maid, Juqing, "Juqing, when will the Prince come to rescue me?"

How could His Majesty possibly tolerate his concubine loving another man?
How could His Majesty possibly let the Prince off then?
Upon hearing this, Consort Hui was first delighted, then frightened, and anxiously asked like an ant on a hot pan: "What should we do?"
"Don't worry, given the prince's affection for you, even knowing he would die, he would definitely come to save you! The parting back then was already a lifelong regret! The prince would never let you go again!"
