廣順三年夏,遇疾,醫藥之際,屬太祖兗海之征,車駕將行,妃奏曰:「正當暑毒,勞陛下省巡,明發宵征,須人供侍,司簿已下典事者,各已處分從行。」 In summer of Guangshun 3 she fell ill. While physicians attended her, the Emperor was about to set out on the Yanhai campaign. She memorialized: "This is the season of summer heat, yet Your Majesty will tour the provinces, marching at dawn and through the night—you will need attendants. I have already assigned the clerks and other officers in charge to accompany you."
