Indeed, Jin Guifei was on the verge of madness. She had just received news that the culprit who tried to assassinate the prince had not been apprehended. Plus, unbeknownst to her, the Emperor found out about the prince's secret departure from the palace. The Emperor, already shattered by the prince's attack, was deeply disappointed upon finding out that it occurred while the prince was out frolicking and living with opera performers. In addition, the prince's violent madness had caused the termination of the child in the prince's wife's womb, which made the Emperor more displeased with his cherished son.
This news came from Jin Guifei's spies placed around the Emperor. Upon receiving this news, Jin Guifei's already ill health worsened significantly, her emotions rocketing.
