Empress had lost her son, her cornerstone, and was misunderstood and blamed by her daughter. Since then, her health had fallen drastically. Considering their affection of many years, the Emperor, who had always known the Empress to be kind-hearted, did not propose her deposition, even though she had indirectly caused the death of the Eldest Prince.
Thus, Princess Cuiwei had harbored resentment towards the Empress for many years. As the years passed, she never sought a Prince Consort again.
The Emperor, aware of his daughter's temperament and despite being anxious, found himself helpless and thus allowed the situation to drag on.
Recalling the past, Tian Hui sighed deeply, "So many years have passed, I heard from my aunt that Princess Cuiwei has never entered the Empress's chambers again. Even when they met, she never called her 'Mother'. Oh, what karma has been wrought!"
