Before the slaughter at the Chaoyang Palace, Han Ziqi sent Princess X and his mother consort back to the palace. The Noble Consort was fearful; the people of Sannan naturally yielded to Beining and had once suffered a defeat, so apprehension was inevitable. She feared she would lose everything in this battle, unable to protect her son and daughters. Gripping Han Ziqi's hand tightly, she implored, "Son, negotiate well with His Highness; strive for the best terms and prevent further unrest. Your father is dead; in the future, you will be the Commandery Prince of Sannan. There's no need to create more trouble."
