乳媼抱其幼子，旁立以泣，柏帖穆爾熟視之，歎曰：「父死國，母死夫，妾與女，從父者也，皆當死。 The wet nurse held his infant son and stood weeping nearby. Baitie Muer looked at them intently and sighed, saying, "The father dies for the state; the mother dies for her husband. Concubines and daughters follow the father—all ought to die.

乃命媼抱匿旁近民舍，而斂金珠畀之曰：「即有緩急，可以此贖兒命。」 He then ordered the nurse to take the child and hide in a nearby commoner's house, gathered gold and pearls, and gave them to her, saying, "If trouble comes, use these to ransom the boy's life."
