The next day, Du Yijin regained consciousness, and only then was Shangguan Ruixi free to seek justice for her.
First, he sent people to investigate who had poisoned Du Yijin. Then, Shangguan Ruixi prepared to enter the palace to seek punishment. Although he couldn't do much to the Empress Dowager, he would definitely not spare the maid who attended to Du Yijin that night. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to swallow his resentment.
But before entering the palace, he had to take care of something first.
Shangguan Ruixi made a trip to the Du Mansion first, apologizing and explaining the situation to his father-in-law, while asking for his assistance.
Long ago, Du Zhongkai had suspected that because of the bracelet incident, Du Yijin couldn't go back to her parents' house. Now knowing that the Empress Dowager had punished her with copying Buddhist scriptures, leading her to become delirious with a high fever, his heart was profoundly grieved.
