本皇不死尓等終究為臣本妃不死尓等終究為妾
[bĕn huáng bù sĭ ĕr dĕng zhōng jiū wèi chén bĕn fēi bù sĭ ĕr dĕng zhōng jiū wèi qiè]
Translates to 'If I (the emperor) do not die, you will ultimately be my subjects; If I (the concubine) do not die, you will ultimately be consorts.' This indicates the hierarchy within historical Chinese palaces where loyalty and role adherence were strictly defined until significant change like death occurred.
