"Please don't say that, miss. You really risked yourself to save us. I thought I was dead for sure," said the maid who had escorted Gu Bailu when she toured the main courtyard; she still held some lingering fear.

"That's right. Nobody whom the crown prince punishes has ever survived. You really saved our lives, miss." The butler was carried away from the long bench. "I thought I was doomed."
