Shi Wang was taken to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation, and Shen Jingxian hasn't seen him since.
The matter with Wen Ranchen's eyes remained unresolved, so the Empress and Emperor dared not send Shen Jingxian to the Imperial College for classes.
As for the previous notion of letting Shen Jingxian directly join Yiyun Hall, the Emperor also rejected it.
Entering Yiyun Hall at the age of four was too conspicuous; their Little Princess had already become a target, with the enemy in the dark and them in the open. Until the unknown threat was understood, it was best not to place the Little Princess in the spotlight.
The Guards were reportedly replaced with a new batch, though Shen Jingxian hadn't seen them. She speculated that they might be Hidden Guards.
And so Shen Jingxian found herself with ample time to give strength to the poor Wen Ranchen.
Shen Jingxian had also been blind for a while; she saw nothing, no colors, not even black.
