After Hua Zisheng finished reading, Consort Jing knelt down and begged Zhou Shaoyu: "Your Majesty, I beg you to take care of Jingqi for the sake of our brotherhood. He is cowardly and timid and not very useful, but he is honest and kind."
She then looked at Emperor Hui and laughed loudly: "Your Majesty, I will go first and wait for you in the underworld! I come from a humble background, but I see you most clearly. Consort Yun, Empress Xie, Consort De, Consort Xian, including Wei Yingzi, who among them was not sincere to you? None of them met a good end. You love no one but yourself and power.

"I have reigned for thirty-four years, during which the world was plunged into chaos. Fortunately, thanks to the spirits of my ancestors, I survived the crisis. However, looking up at the heavens and down at the hearts of the people, I know that the future is in the hands of the Jade Dragon... The Great Way prevails, and the world is for all. I now follow the example of Yao and abdicate in favor of Emperor Chen, retiring to a corner of the world to enjoy my remaining years."
Emperor Hui abdicated, the Great Gan dynasty ended, and the Jade Dragon dynasty rose.
