However, as she passed by Ye Henshui, her wrist was grabbed.
"Henshui?" Ye Zi'e looked down.
Ye Henshui turned her head slightly, speaking softly, "Sister has exhausted herself to be with Mr. Chen, even at the risk of offending Her Majesty the Consort. After finally achieving her goal, can she really let it go so easily?"
Ye Zi'e sighed, "What if I can't let go? I've thought it through. In the end, someone has to make a choice. It's not like we can both..."
"Why not?" Ye Henshui interrupted.
"...Hmm?" Ye Zi'e was stunned.
Ye Henshui continued, "Don't do unto others what you don't want done to you. I can't imagine being separated from Mr. Chen, so why would I expect my sister to do the same?"
Ye Zi'e came to her senses, stammering, "But this sort of thing is... really disgraceful..."
Ye Henshui countered, "And was it not disgraceful when sister drugged Mr. Chen?"
"..." Ye Zi'e was speechless.
