She had heard countless tales of the Emperor's heroic deeds since she was a child, and she was terrified that she might inadvertently displease him and lose her head.
Fortunately, His Majesty was a wise ruler and did not have the habit of arbitrarily beheading people.
Huiyu whispered to Tong Cheng'er, "Don't mention today's events to anyone else. Also, be careful about the occasion when you speak in the future. As the old saying goes, 'Disaster comes from the mouth.' It's always better to be cautious in your words and actions."
Tong Cheng'er understood this principle and nodded, saying, "Sister is right. I was indeed rash today, and I will definitely be more careful with my words in the future."
After leaving Wangyue Tower, the two parted ways, and the plan to wander around as mentioned earlier naturally disappeared.
Tong Cheng'er felt that she had been frightened all day and needed to go home and get a good night's sleep before doing anything else.

After dinner, she did her usual routine of playing with the cat and reading storybooks. Before going to bed, she felt like she had forgotten something, and then she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to tell her mother about her "strange encounter" at the restaurant that day.
But her mother and father should be resting at this time, and she didn't want to disturb them, so she thought she would talk to them when she paid her respects tomorrow.
Tong Cheng'er, despite her unease and cowardly demeanor in front of Emperor Kangxi, probably became quite lazy without him around. Knowing that Kangxi wouldn't blame her or implicate her family, she felt relieved and didn't think much of it.
