Only after being reminded, did the princess recall that she came to pray to the Bodhisattva for a child. Giggling, she said, "Oh, I was so anxious that I forgot. Lucky for me, Chu Lang reminded me..."
Seeing that Marquis Chu was already walking away, without even taking another glance at Chen Afu, she caught up with him and left. Not long after, the group vanished around a corner of the corridor.
It wasn't until they were out of sight that Chen Afu felt that she could breathe again. Despite this, her legs were still a bit shaky and her body was covered with a thin layer of cold sweat.
Dabao and Alu ran sobbing towards here. They had been held back by two temple guardians who didn't dare to let them approach. It was only after the princess had left that the guardians set them free.
Chen Afu embraced them each with one arm, comforting them, "It's okay, I'm alright. Let's go pray to the Bodhisattva and ask for blessings for Uncle Wang Cheng to be safe."
