As for the cause of death of Master Chu'er, King Xiao issued an order forbidding anyone from mentioning it. Once a maidservant gossiped about it in private and was discovered, she was publicly executed.,Ye Yan'er saw that the time was right. She stood by the edge of the pond and shouted loudly, "Your Highness, don't!" Then, with a splash, she jumped into the water.,"Enough!" King Xiao didn't want to hear Chu Yuning explain any further: "Back then when I extracted the heart, Yan'er was unaware of it. It was a deed done by this king alone. Today you have harmed Yan'er and yet act as if nothing is amiss. This king cannot tolerate those with malicious intentions under his very nose."。
