Prince Xin returned to the Prince Xin Mansion with a weary look, only to see his old wife coming up to greet him.
"How is it? Does the Emperor want to punish me?" the Princess murmured fearfully.
Prince Xin cast a sidelong glance at her, saying, "Now you're afraid, but what were you doing back then? You speak recklessly without considering the consequences."
The Princess wore a mournful expression, saying, "I didn't think so much at the time. Seeing Che'er lying on the ground without a trace of movement, his little face pale, I thought our mansion was doomed with no hope left, and death seemed like an easy way out."
Seeing her only grandson without a sign of life, how could she worry about the magnitude of the disaster?
Dying together might be simpler; after all, they've lived through enough turmoil over the years.
