When Dong Huiying spoke these words, Prince Meng was instantly embarrassed. Reflecting on the traitors she had dealt with during the day, he felt utterly ashamed. The disgrace of it all, especially since he used to be suspicious of her. Little did he know, those he suspected could be trusted, and those he trusted should be suspected.
Prince Meng sighed bitterly, "I've been blind and foolish recently. For the sake of Ninth Sister, please don't hold it against me."
Dong Huiying gave him a meaningful look, "I am not one to court trouble, but I must admit, sometimes my temper does flare up. Some of my words or actions may have been too abrupt, so I ask the Prince to bear with me."
At this point, the two finally spoke openly, leaving no hard feelings.
Prince Meng asked, "How long will it take to cure Ninth Sister's illness?"
"It's uncertain."
