Imperial Concubine Yi was originally going to seek help from Emperor Xia, hoping he could protect the Fourteenth Prince.
However, midway, she heard that Emperor Xia had gathered his ministers to discuss the matter, so she waited at the Yangqing Gate, which connected the harem to the front court, wanting to know Emperor Xia's decision immediately.
Nanny Qiao accompanied Imperial Concubine Yi, trying several times to persuade her to return to Cheng'an Palace to await news, but unfortunately, the desperate mother wouldn't listen.
When the young eunuch, bribed by Nanny Qiao, brought the news, Imperial Concubine Yi stood at the Yangqing Gate for nearly half an hour.
"Madam, His Majesty has decided to take action against the Star-picking Tower!"
"Madam, the Fourteenth Prince is saved!"
Upon receiving the news from the young eunuch, Nanny Qiao excitedly approached Imperial Concubine Yi to relay the good news.
Imperial Concubine Yi finally felt a bit relieved upon hearing the news.
