Prince Jing took Ye Jiu away, and the horse beneath them ran swiftly; soon they had covered a great distance, and then, the pace slowly dropped, the two dismounted, pausing on a silent lane.
Prince Jing said he had something to tell her, but, half a day had passed, and he still had not spoken.
Ye Jiu couldn't help but remind him, "Prince, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"I had a dream last night!" Prince Jing looked at Ye Jiu.
Ye Jiu was perplexed, "A dream, and does it… involve me?" Ye Jiu's question was both a complaint and a cautious inquiry.
But Prince Jing just went on speaking for himself, "I dreamed of a little girl who looked very much like me, wielding a huge sword that reached the sky; she fiercely chopped at me, saying I only sow seeds without taking responsibility, letting her suffer in hardships for many years."
Ye Jiu was embarrassed, "Prince, you might be suffering from delusions!"
