"There's nothing to worry about," Yang Heshu said. "He will say, His Majesty has already investigated the matter thoroughly and knows that it was nothing to do with you and your mother. It's just that there's no concrete evidence proving your uncle's involvement. You and your mother voluntarily taking responsibility assures the Emperor, who always cherishes children, that you are concerned for your uncle. He will only feel tender towards you, seeing your innocence and filial piety, how could he possibly blame you?"
Yang Heshu continued, "Even if he gets angry, it will only be temporary. When the year passes, and Your Highness shows more filial devotion, His Majesty will be pleased again. Look at how he treats the Third Prince; no matter how wrong his sons are, they remain his sons. Even a tiger will not eat its cubs, let alone His Majesty who favors the Fifth Prince immensely?"
