"This is not mercy; the Empress Dowager was selected by the ministers, and I cannot just kill her or bury her alive somewhere." The Emperor felt helpless too, what could he do?
There's a Retired Emperor, so there must be an Empress Dowager; there are only these two in the harem, the rest are some Imperial Concubines and others.
"Then let the Empress Dowager accompany the Retired Emperor. Didn't the Retired Emperor suffer an injury? And it was a severe injury. As the Empress Dowager, the Retired Emperor's first wife, she should nurse his illness and give them a chance to meet, shouldn't she?"
Qian Jiyun reminded him.
Emperor: "..."
This is indeed a good idea; let those two be companions.
"This method is good."
Previously, he hadn't allowed those two to meet, mainly because whenever they met, nothing good was bound to happen.
