Nianzu arrived at the Palace and reached his chamber. He put the zither down and heard Eunuch Chung, "The Sixth Prince and Princess Zhu Lin fought with each other again. Prince Lei Wanxi ended up getting injured badly." This bewildered Nianzu. He told them not to fight and still, they did. But how could a fight be so intense that Lei Wanxi got injured badly?
Nianzu asked to bring new clothes for him as he had worn commoner's clothes. Eunuch Chung informed a maidservant to bring the clothes for the Prince. Once he changed, he went to Lei Wanxi's chamber to meet him.
Consort Jinlong was seated on the chaise while Lei Wanxi was on the bed. "Forgive me, mother. I will stay away from all this." He lowered his eyes, keeping his voice low. "I did not know she would push me off the stairs," he added.
