"Mother Consort, it's getting late, you should rest early too."
Luo Shunchen said to her, with a look of concern in his eyes.
"Don't worry, Mother Consort knows her limits."
After arranging for the two of them to be taken to the Eastern courtyard, Consort Bing finally headed to her inner chamber.
The inner chamber was simply furnished, with only a Buddhist altar, on which a statue of the Thousand-Handed Guanyin was enshrined.
Consort Bing knelt down before the Thousand-Handed Guanyin, hands clasped together, and prayed sincerely, "Guanyin above, this believer has a plea, please bless my son and daughter-in-law. Their safety is the greatest blessing in this believer's heart!"
After speaking, she lit three sticks of incense and offered them to the Thousand-Handed Guanyin.
Only then did she pick up the scripture next to her and begin her chanting practice.
