Difficulty showed on Consort Qiang's face. After a moment she sighed in melancholy. "There is no other way now. But this time, come what may, we must muster every ounce of our strength to seal it anew, and give that villain the Great Emperor not the slightest opening!"

The company said one after another, "Her Highness the Consort has a compassionate heart, full of pity for heaven and man."
