On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor threatened to take my mother's life to protect the child of his beloved consort, then bundled me onto a carriage bound for the Western Regions to be married off.

I asked the new king of the Western Regions, standing behind me, "When you seized the throne, how did you deal with your father?"
