The Crown Prince suppressed the anger in his heart and went to Jingyang Palace with Zheng Chen.
Empress Dowager Zheng had been ill, her vitality greatly diminished, showing a weary and aged demeanor. With the palace maids attending to her, she barely managed to sit up. As soon as she opened her mouth, she inquired about the military campaign to quell the unrest.
"Grand Empress Dowager is still ill, just rest well, don't worry about the court affairs." The Crown Prince, feeling gloomy and troubled, really wasn't in the mood to talk, but forced himself to comfort Empress Dowager Zheng: "The court has already dispatched General Wei with twenty thousand elite soldiers to quell the unrest, Grand Empress Dowager just await good news from General Wei."
Empress Dowager Zheng's eyes flashed with anger: "That Wang Rong used to promote his close confidants with at least a semblance of propriety. Now it's blatantly obvious, not even slightly concealed."
