Under the influence of the Empress Dowager and the Public House, the Emperor decided to lift the confinement of the Empress and the Crown Prince.
However, he sternly cautioned the Empress, "The harem should not involve itself in politics, let alone conspire against a prince! Remember my words."
"If such a situation arises again, do not blame me for taking drastic measures."
"Starting today, you will be confined to the harem for three months."
The Empress did not dare to voice any objections. She understood that her and the Crown Prince's exoneration this time was largely thanks to the Empress Dowager and the Public House.
Their actions this time had not been coordinated with the Public House in advance, and as a result, she faced severe censure from her father and brother. They cautioned her that, should such a situation occur again, they would not shield her.
Their primary concern was the protection of the Crown Prince.
