Day after day in prison, she finally reflected and understood what had happened. Both Changzai Zhou and the Noble Consort had used her as a pawn, yet she had no evidence. Neither had coerced her nor made their intentions clear, and she had been fooled. She was truly too naive.
After realizing this, she thought she could leave and made a scene demanding to see Master Cao, but no matter how much ruckus she caused, no one came to see her, delivering only two words: "Fool."
She slumped in defeat, indeed, if she weren't foolish, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
Now she had calmed down. The Imperial Guard Prison staff turned out to be quite decent. After completing their interrogation, they didn't bother her anymore. She requested some books to pass the time, half-expecting her request to be denied, but in the end, they really brought some for her.
