The emperor has issued two edicts, one annuling the engagement of the crown prince to the emperor's wife, and the other annulling the marriage of the prince and the queen's daughter to the king's son-in-law. The queen is very upset, as she has been suffering from high fever for a long time. The messenger is still waiting for her, and she asks him to help her dress. He tells her that zheng sent her medicine, but she has not taken any medicine or seen a doctor since then. She asks if she is sick, and he says she is. He says that he heard that the first wife of the king was a kind woman, but that it turns out to be her pretense. He coughs and says that the engagement cancellation was the last thing that the prince would do for her. He adds that if she needs him in the future, he will do his best to help. The empress does not like the queen, so she tells the queen to compensate the queen for the cancellation of the engagement, and to find a doctor. She says that if the empress finds out that the queen is lying, she will be punished by the royal family. She tells the mother that she will tell her father about what has happened, and that he will have to take care of her. The mother says that she has heard that cousin Ancai will be coming to the imperial to attend to the two annulled marriages. The law says that adulterers must marry the man who they have committed adultery with, and they have no choice except to marry him to him.
