The County Princess Nanyan, who hadn't left Prince Rui Mansion for years, knelt in front of the Princess Mansion, pleading for Li Luan's life.
Princess Yunhua had hated her for years, but in the end, she still saw her.
"A life for a life," the princess said. "Since you left me, there's no place for you by my side anymore. I don't like things that have been touched by others."
Nanyan had no way back, nor did she want one. If she could trade her life for Li Luan's, she had nothing she wouldn't part with.
If back then her mother could have traded her life for her father's, that self-slashing blade might have been quicker and more decisive.
Nanyan returned to Prince Rui Mansion, and after the Holy Emperor decreed that Li Luan would guard the Imperial Mausoleum forever, she dressed grandly and hung herself.
Porcelain dolls always break; it's better to end it herself than have Princess Yunhua smash and destroy her.
