Now it was all right. Duke Ding explained the situation to the Emperor, which indicated Ding General Manor took the side of the Emperor and would also completely cut off their support of the Empress Dowager. Anyway, Ding General Manor would never stand on the Empress Dowager's side anymore, and thus, of course, would never rebel with King Ning.
Duke Ding mentioned this intentionally in order to gain the Emperor's approval. Just as King Chu had expected, the Emperor cleared Rui'er of her crime and regained her place as the first consort. It was also considered a way of returning the favor and making Ding General Manor look good. At the same time, it also hinted that Duke Ding could not act rashly.
