'The reason I didn't continue the Emperor's dream was that I was afraid his suspicious nature would lead him to see me and the baby as some kind of bewitching spirits. If I suggested the baby in his dream was real, he'd eventually find it strange. But if I acted like I didn't believe him and even questioned him, it would trigger his need to prove himself right.'
"That's because you haven't dreamed of our son. If you had, you'd know it was real. It's completely different from any other dream I've ever had."
