這一去,不知見了娘娘,有何話說且聽下回分解。
这一去,不知见了娘娘,有何话说且听下回分解。
In this going, whether he saw the queen, and what words there were — listen to the next chapter for the telling.
這一去 (zhè yí qù) "in this going"; 且聽下回分解 (qiě tīng xià huí fēn jiě) the storyteller’s formulaic chapter-close, "listen to the next chapter for the unfolding," 分 = fēn.
The chapter ends on the storyteller’s standard formula, suspending the action at the very threshold of the prince’s reunion with his mother. The buried truth has been spoken and a test devised, but its proof — the queen’s word — is held back across the chapter break.
The pause is well-placed: everything now turns on a single private question, and the reader is carried forward into the next chapter to learn whether the queen-mother will confirm what the prince cannot yet bring himself to believe.
