Li Yuqin remembered while staying in Dalizi (大栗子镇), near North Korea, hearing the sound of chopsticks and bowls being thrown. After some time passed she heard a eunuch say, "The master does not like to eat this food again and all have been thrown." Later this was followed by the smack of someone using a water pipe and a strange aroma filling the air. Wanrong was babbling, crying and cursing her father. She is said to have sounded very sad "as if she had lost something very precious." The Empress heard somebody speak and asked a eunuch who it was, with the eunuch replying it was "Noble Concubine Fu." As Wanrong was so weak, she was helped to the sliding door, where she met Li Yuqin who was surprised at her appearance.
