Oh Lord, the Dong family won't have any heirs after today! I only have this son-- in the future, you'll have to protect him! Don't blame your mother, my son! Momma did this for your own good!

That's enough. Stop crying. When your son enters the palace with me, I promise to treat him as I would my own blood relative. Plus, he'll be right at the Emperor's side. He'll be living a life of comfort and happiness in no time at all! He'll definitely live better than he would've been at home!

Good. The action should be quick. Don't let the child make a fuss. And you have to take good care of the wound. Don't let him lose a single drop of blood!
