Though the Empress and Prince Yan had placed the Princess Consort under house arrest, they still permitted visitors to see her.
The Princess Consort frowned impatiently, unable to recall who this person was, and asked, "Who is Xiang'er?"

When the plan failed, Xiang'er lost her usefulness, and the Princess Consort promptly forgot about her.
As the Princess Consort dressed, an idea sprouted in her mind—it was easier to deal with the king of hell than his minions.
