The guard was irritable with her pestering and explained, "All the concubines have been confined. Noble Lady Chen, it's best not to ask too much about this. If I were you, I'd just go back and eat and drink, lest you die and become a starving ghost."
"What? What starving ghost? Hey, hey, speak clearly." Noble Lady Chen said anxiously.
The patrolling guard saw this scene and shouted at the guard, "Why are you blabbering with her? Send her back, lock the door, and if she keeps making noise, cut her tongue out. Lady Li in Changchun Palace was noisy and boastful, so General Yan personally cut her tongue out, and she's been quiet ever since."
When Noble Lady Chen heard this, her face turned pale with fright, and she quickly shut her mouth.
The palace maiden assisted her back, and she was unable to speak for quite a while.
"This... What's happening? Just yesterday everything was fine, how did it suddenly turn out like this?"
