But Prince Jiang Yuan was extremely sorrowful, weeping multiple times, overwhelmed by grief, to the point of fainting. Only then did the people realize his sorrow. Jiang Yuan drove away the beautiful maidservants in the Prince Mansion, smashed the ancient zither, stayed away from music and wine, dressed plainly, and abstained from meat.
The people praised him as virtuous and filial.
After returning to his residence, Jiang Yuan entered through the inner door. From the outside, the entire mansion appeared very simple, with few beautiful people, but inside it was filled with beautiful maidservants, concubines, and delicacies.
Jiang Yuan changed his clothes, and a beautiful maid came to serve him, with lavish enjoyment. He said, "Hateful Yuwen Lie, relying on his martial prowess, dares to disregard me. When I defeat Li Guanyi, my majesty will spread throughout the Four Seas."
"At that time, the nation will have no use for you, kill to settle the score!"
