Empress Dowager was criticized and scolded by Yun Que every day, and it didn't take many days for her to become unbearable.
Fortunately, she still had a few loyal servants who managed to find Prince Kang avoiding Yun Que.
When Prince Kang heard from the servants how miserable Empress Dowager was now living, and how Foolish Marquis also seemed like a living dead every day, empathy rose within him.
He had many years of affection for Empress Dowager, and helping her had become a habit; knowing she was suffering, his first thought was to help her.
Prince Kang secretly visited Empress Dowager at Duke You's Mansion.
He went there without the knowledge of Anning and He Zhenyu.
When Prince Kang saw Empress Dowager lying in the bed unable to move, aging as if she had become a decade older, he was greatly shocked.
"How have you come to this?"
He thought that Empress Dowager had become like this entirely because of He Zhenyu's rebellion, and felt somewhat guilty towards her.
