“Thank you for saving me. But can you save all the slaves in this world? You and I are of different class. Since we do not share the same life, we should be apart earlier as well.”

"I am going to wait for her to say yes. Then we’ll go back to Yan Bei together."

“People always think that the royal family is noble, but nobody knows that there are many suffering. … I want you to remember. You can get everything that ordinary people can’t get, however there are two things that ordinary people can get with extreme ease, but you must leave behind. … Friendship and Love.”

“Don’t cry. Man in the Yan household would rather bleed than cry.”

“You chose me to be your maid, gave me the silver bell, and presented me to Cang Hong sword to make me your Xing Er. Now Xing Er is killed by you. The one living here is just Chu Qiao.”

“Of course I want to die. However, if I died, what would happen to the Xiuli Army? They have always been loyal to me. We take care of each other. Now they are being called traitors. If I died, who would protect them? To me, they are not just my subordinates, but also my family. It is my duty to bring them back to Yan Bei. Even if we can’t go back, I need to make their lives easier. I need to stay strong, no matter how hard life is.”

“Soldiers of Yan Bei! You are not deserted by Yan Bei. Follow my order. Follow me. I am going to bring you home!”

“I didn’t want to be a princess. I didn’t want any high position and great wealth either. I just wanted to live with the one I love for my whole life.”

“It’s okay. If that can take away your decision to kill into Yan Bei, relieve the citizens of Hong Chuan from wars and battles, then I am willing to be stepped on. If that time our father did not suspect Lord Ding Bei, did not slaughter the civilians and their families, how could it end up like this? It was our father to blame. Why is it that all of you ignore it? I won’t let this mistake continue and make the whole population suffer the consequences. If you are determined to enter the city, then step on my body first.”

“A Chu, you said I have changed. Actually, I haven’t changed at all. But you never understood what I really wanted. But right now, I have to tell you about my faith and my ambition with this way.”
