"Old Master Zhan, kinship has never been constrained by these formalities. You need to be more open-minded. Besides the Imperial Mausoleum and Beili, given what you know of the little girl, do you think this is what she would have wanted?"
"I understand what you mean, Dean, but the weather is growing hot. Even with medicinal preservation, her body will only last a month at most. It will take at least two to three months to get out of Beili. Her body will decay… How tragic." The thought of the little one's body decaying, unable to be laid to rest, was utterly heartbreaking for Zhan Yi.
"There should be ice cellars in the wealthier towns along the way. If we keep her packed in ice, it should be enough to last until we are out of Beili."
"And where do we go after we leave Beili? Is the little girl to be buried back in Nanyuan?"
