Until Deng Jieyu was sent to the Cold Palace, he couldn't even see her once, and was even reprimanded by Emperor Xuanming and driven out of the palace, realizing then that the Deng family was finished.
He promptly apologized to the Emperor, but didn't mention resigning, only voluntarily confined himself at the residence, intending to first let Emperor Xuanming cool down. As time passed, even if he couldn't regain favor, he wouldn't be disliked again. As long as he could keep his official position, the Deng family could still rise again.
Although he understood the situation clearly and made compromises, even abandoning Deng Jieyu, the sudden fall from paradise to hell was difficult for Grand Tutor Deng who was not a person with a stable mindset, and at the residence, he vented his anger daily, causing anxiety among the servants, which made the atmosphere of the Deng residence tense.
