In the past, Ning Huaixiu had already given up on the Emperor and was filled with gratitude towards the Empress Dowager, but now that is not how she feels. She is the Emperor's Imperial Noble Consort, and she cannot accept such a huge disparity and change, nor can she accept not being the Emperor's woman.
In fact, she doesn't have to hang herself on this imperial tree of His Majesty.
In her past life, although the Emperor was not bad to her, his Imperial Harem was too large. Empress Li, Noble Consort Helan, Concubine Xue, Concubine Jing, along with many consorts, talents, ladies-in-waiting, etc. He seemed to treat his harem well, but in reality, he was a heartless person. After showing favor to a woman for years, there should be some affection! Yet, he abandoned them as soon as he pleased, and killed as he desired, without a speck of regret.
