Prince Rong fears that there is a war. If not, then it is not something he should be concerned about.
His Majesty has stated that it's a private matter, which means it's an affair among the women in the palace.
Thus, he shouldn't continue to ask questions.
Although His Majesty is said not to have private affairs, in reality, emperors who can't control their ministers are those whose private business is monitored even in the harem.
Most emperors do not like to be questioned about everything.
Since His Majesty wants to return to the Capital early, he gave orders to speed up, even if it means arriving half a day earlier.
In the Capital, nothing seems out of the ordinary on the surface.
In the palace, the Empress, Xi Guipin, and Noble Lady Yuh are already aware of the situation.
In the Changchun Garden, although the Empress Dowager executed several servants, the news still spread. It's just that no one dares to speak of it openly.
