On the second day, during the funeral, Wen Jiy fell ill and could not get up, burning with a high fever. The Prime Minister's Estate was in a state of utter chaos. While sending Old Madam off to her final resting place, they were simultaneously summoning imperial physicians, and a continuous stream of people flooded into the Prime Minister's Estate from the outside.
On the streets, townspeople were actively discussing what had happened.

Having knelt for days and nights on end without even a drop of water despite her already frail constitution, she had fallen seriously ill and could not even get out of bed for the funeral.
