While supporting him to kneel, Yang Chuxia explained to the young eunuch of Prince Le, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, my husband suddenly caught a chill last night, vomiting incessantly. It was only after taking medicine this morning that he felt a bit better. He was just about to rest after a sleepless night when you arrived."
"Sir, we are not disrespecting the imperial decree," Yang Chuxia continued passionately. "I can tell by your broad features and righteous eyes that you are a kind-hearted person. Surely, you won't deliberately report to the Emperor that our Prince An's Mansion is treating the Emperor with disrespect, will you?"
Inside the room, Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi'an had, of course, heard the conversation between Prince Le and the young eunuch. Fearing that Prince Le might seize upon this as an opportunity, she had Ye Zi'an feign illness to silence the young eunuch.
As for Ye Zi'an, he was utterly resentful of Prince Le, bearing a grudge to the death.
