Yuan Shangyi never woke up after that fall.
Even the health of the Empress Dowager was deteriorating day by day.
Feng Yun visited her at Changxin Hall twice, finding her even less spirited than before, seemingly having lost all consciousness. She just stared blankly as Feng Yun entered, taking a long while to react.
"Does the Empress Dowager have moments of clarity?" she asked.

Feng Yun sighed.
"Do take good care of her with medicinal soups."
Two Palace Maids bowed in unison.
"Yes."
Feng Yun glanced over.
The Palace Attendants serving at Changxin Hall had been completely replaced.
All the old servants of the Empress Dowager, including the Female Historian Lin, were gone.
