Princess Consort of An was still hesitant: "But, that's the Crown Princess Consort..."

"I didn't tell her to kill the Crown Princess Consort; just teach her a lesson and let our Jiang Fourth Child vent his anger. There's a dragon child in her stomach. Why be afraid?"

Princess Consort of An was persuaded and began to waver.
