Ruan Jiqing rushed with his people to Renshou Palace, but the Empress Dowager refused to see Wen Wan altogether. Instead, she sent Ruyan to send her away.
The Empress Dowager was indeed somewhat angry with Qi Junmu, feeling that he had done wrong. Wen Wan could act this way, but the Empress Dowager could not simply accept it.
