Although she looked terrible, with red eyes and tear stains on her cheeks, she changed her usual impulsive and reckless ways and calmly and dignifiedly curtsied to the emperor. When she looked up, she couldn't help but shed two more lines of clear tears.
These tears seemed to fall on the emperor's heart, causing him another pang of heartache. He personally went over to help her up: "Ling'er, why did you come out? Don't cry, don't cry. Your father will make sure you get what you want today. If he dares to betray you, I will not let him off lightly."
