By the time Emperor Wanli realized Qi Zhang was not a true Immortal Master, his illness had already reached an incurable stage.
He had repeatedly sought the help of Shi Feiyang and Zhu Zaiyu at Yuan Yang Palace but received no response.

After his death, his son Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, marking the era as Taichang, and prepared to do great things. However, his stepmother, Noble Princess Consort Zheng, started creating trouble.
Noble Princess Consort Zheng, favored by Emperor Wanli and mother to his son Zhu Changxun, had often whispered in the emperor's ear, persuading him to appoint Zhu Changxun as Crown Prince. Emperor Wanli had agreed, but the ministers objected, leading to a dispute over the nation's foundation.
