Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister and his wife immediately ran over, knelt beside Liu Yanxue, and said in panic, "Your Majesty, my daughter did not mean to offend you. Please show mercy and spare my daughter's life."
The Queen Mother also sternly rebuked: "Your Majesty, if you don't like her, then just don't take her into the harem! Why kill her so completely?"
