"Before the matter becomes known to outsiders, quickly break things off with Young Master Xiang. I will help keep your secret. No one will look down on you! Do you know that princess who fell in love with a mermaid? She was the most beautiful princess in the Royal Family at the time, yet she chose to betray her kin for a mermaid!"
Zhong Lingling took several steps backward, retreating from the secret room. After hesitating for a moment, she firmly said to Li Mengqing, "Your Majesty, I want to tell you that falling in love with a mermaid is not something to be ashamed of. Perhaps one day, I might give up on Yimo, but if I do, it won't be because I look down on him. It will be because I don't want him to get hurt! For now, I've decided to live in seclusion with him. We've promised not to touch each other and simply to keep each other company until we grow old!"
