Empress Su wanted to see Zhao Nuo, but naturally couldn't. Emperor Guangxi guarded against her more fiercely than against thieves, preferring to hold Zhao Nuo himself until his arms were sore, rather than letting her touch him.
In fact, to protect the safety of Princess Consort Duan and her son in Yonghe Palace, Emperor Guangxi ordered Chu Feng to lead a team of Inner Court Guards to stand outside Yonghe Palace's gate, forbidding anyone from entering without his order.
After hearing this, Empress Su didn't argue with Emperor Guangxi. She did not go out of her way to seek information about Yonghe Palace, nor did she rack her brains on how to deal with Princess Consort Duan. Instead, she often went to the Study Room to see the Eldest Prince, Zhao Xi, during this time.
The entire Imperial Palace had only this one Prince, attending and leaving school alone every day.
Zhao Xi and Song Yuanbao were the same age, both were thirteen years old.
