The master of Cining Palace fainted or slept, leaving Bai Ruozhu with no choice but to hastily make arrangements before taking a grievously bitter-faced Ning Yu with him as they left the bedchamber of Consort Le.
"Ning Yu, tell me the truth, are you unable to break the curse?" Bai Ruozhu asked in a hushed voice.
Ning Yu shook his head. "It can be broken, but it could cause severe harm to the body of Prince Xi; he's too young."
A thought suddenly struck Bai Ruozhu, and she said urgently, "Does that mean he should, like Princess Diao Bin, have the witchcraft transferred but not so easily triggered, and perhaps it would be safer to break the curse when he's a few years older?"
