Hua Manman threw back the covers and sat up. "Prince Wu Zhang found you? Where is he now?"
Qing Huan answered honestly, "I... knocked him... unconscious."

'She had botched it. She had brought huge trouble upon the Princess Consort.'
Hua Manman, however, showed no intention of blaming her, speaking calmly.
"Since we've been discovered, we can't stay here any longer. Let's go."
'Her original plan had been to leave the palace as soon as she stole the Jade Seal, anyway. This just moved her timeline up.'
Qing Huan helped the Princess Consort to her feet, and the two of them hurried out.
