Hua Yan had not expected the Empress Dowager to make such a decisive choice in so short a time. Faced with the decision between the Royal Family and the laypeople, she chose the Royal Family, which was not an easy choice to make so resolutely in such haste.
Upon receiving these words from the Empress Dowager, Yun Chi felt slightly relieved and said warmly, "Since the Empress Dowager has spoken thus, I know what I must do." After speaking, he comforted the Empress Dowager, "But rest assured, not everyone in the Cheng Family is condemnable; there are still gentlemen of integrity. If the Cheng Family is indeed involved, I will deal with them appropriately."
