The Princess also felt it was impossible; this matter itself was like a hot potato, no matter how it was handled, it couldn't win. If they told the Emperor, they would offend the Empress Dowager. If they didn't tell him, they would write a self-critical edict, which would be extremely unjust.
Mishandling it could even provoke public anger, and that would be disastrous.
Most likely, those princes and princesses would think the two of them were scheming behind their backs, eventually coming to seek revenge.
It's not the revenge that's concerning, it's just that the burden is too heavy, it's not feasible.

"And what to write?"
