He Ying didn't want her to go.
There, all were sinners carrying the burden of major crimes, under heavy punishment, all bloodstained.
What if she got scared by going there?
It would pain his heart.
Thinking this, he said, "Have her carried into the palace then. You should take a look; I suppose you won't be at ease otherwise. Let's place her before your eyes, how about that?"
He certainly didn't want her visiting people outside the palace often.
He was very busy now, and couldn't rest easy without her under his watchful eye.
Sang Yan, oblivious to the inside story, didn't refuse either and nodded, "Okay. I'll arrange it. Let Xie Sui investigate."
He Ying agreed, "Good."
The two set off in different directions.
An hour later,
Sang Yan saw Luo Shan in a side hall of Yuesang Palace.
Luo Shan was seriously injured.
Blood dripped along the path as she was carried in.
When she was laid on the bed, the sheets quickly soaked through with blood.
