"Death by a thousand cuts."
Shao He hadn’t expected this kind of punishment, but upon reflection, she thought that for Yuan Hui, who had cruelly killed so many people, this death was too light for him.
Shao He’s health improved by the day, and ever since Xiao Linzhao’s identity had been revealed, The Emperor had more openly brought the child into the palace to play.

She rarely found herself in a state of tranquility and unexpectedly struggled to adapt to it at first.
On the day Abbot Yuan Hui was executed, Pei Huaian made a special point to watch.

"Abbot Yuan Hui is also remarkable, managing to stay hidden until now without being discovered. I’m afraid the Empress had her share in this."
