There was no one present in the court who had any allegiance to the late Crown Prince.
While the previous Crown Prince did have his loyal confidants, the Fourth Prince, once he ascended to the throne, ensured that those loyal to his predecessor were removed. Over the years, they had been either dismissed, demoted, or exiled, leaving no supporters of the former Crown Prince in the imperial court today.
As a result, no amount of crying from the former Princess Consort would garner sympathy.
No one would come to her aid. They were neither familiar with her nor loyal to the former Crown Prince. Why would they risk their own positions to help her?
And it wasn't as though the former Princess Consort was known for her virtue or talent—there was little reason for anyone to support her.
