Prince Hong Zhou. The younger brother of Emperor Qianlong. Now is Prince He of First Rank that everyone respects. He secretly adored you for so many years. These last ten years, you have managed the harem earnestly without committing any grave wrongs. Yet His Majesty blames you and distances himself from you so much. And he's carrying out the installation of the Imperial Noble Consort. That is all Ilogicial.

Prince He came to meet you at Yikun Palace, he said he would help you maintain your position as Empress.

"This Empress seat is already just in name." You said in bitterness, you looked away from Prince He when he convinced to help you.

"Empress, Don't you want me to help you?" He said in soft tone, he kneel down in front of you, held your hand in comfort as whisper to you.

"If His Majesty wishes to install the Imperial Noble Consort, but the Imperial clansmen and high ranking military and scholarly scholars join hands to oppose, then His Majesty can't just carry it out stubbornly either."

He gently squeezed your hand, his eyes pleads to your love for him even just a bit. "But do you want it? Is it worth to fight for it? All these years, how have you treated him?"
