When the emperor arrives, Madame Moyun tells him that she has woken up, and that she is grateful for his kindness. She tells the emperor that she will always be his friend, even if he does not visit her. The emperor, however, is not satisfied, and he asks Madame Shaoli to send him some medicine. Madame Shmoop sneers that the emperor will be angry if he learns that Madame Shaolu is involved in the palace affairs.
