Madam Muyang was escorted back to Aping when news of her daughter's death reached her. The maids beside her had expected the woman to scream and cry. Instead, they found her calm and unruffled. They had thought Madam Muyang had accepted the princess' death and left her alone to grieve. It wasn't until the next morning that they realized their mistake. Entering the soundless, dark room, they found her still body hanging by the eight feet white cloth.

Silence spread throughout Wu Xi upon the news of Princess Jin Wu Ting's sudden death. No one understood why the young princess ran away. No one knew why the young princess chose to end her beautiful life. Only the royal family recognized the reason to her suicide.

"She refused to live without Jian..."

"My Empress, it seems you still do not understand Princess Wu Ting"

"Your Majesty..."

"She refused to live because she is afraid to live"

"Afraid to live..."

"She simply does not want to face the consequences of her actions... This death reflects the cowardice in her"

"Your Majesty... This is my mistake..."

"My Empress, mistake or not. We must live to bear the consequences"

"Jian..."

"I have place soldiers outside the gates of Wu Xi. He cannot leave Wu Xi"

"Jian will force his way out... no one can stop him"

"He still have his Wang Fei and small child to consider. He will not be reckless for their sake"

"Must we force him to stay when he wants to leave?"

"This is his home"

"Your Majesty..."

"No matter what had happened, we are one family"

"No matter what... we are one family..."

The Empress repeated the words sadly as she was reminded by her son.

We are one family. Prince Wu Hai Quan's voice float within their memories.
