He hadn't seen the Empress for months.
"Yes, mother." Emperor Hao agreed and said to Shao Boqi, "Go back and tell Shao Zhongxi that on the sixteenth of the first month, the Empress Dowager will set off for Xinyuan County."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Shao Boqi accepted the order.
Then, he left.
The first thing he did after returning home was to send someone to Xinyuan County to inform Shao Zhongxi that the Emperor had agreed to the plans.
Wei Zizhan and the Royal Guards who had committed suicide had already been carried out. Now that Shao Boqi had left, Emperor Hao glanced at the head eunuch. The head eunuch immediately brought the servants out, leaving only him and his mother in the side hall.
Emperor Hao then said to his mother, "The person who wrote the letter didn't have any ill intentions towards us. It was purely a kind reminder."
If there was ever a hint of malice, the Ji family would not have been successfully uprooted by him.
