The porridge is poisonous because of its highness, but the lotus seeds are not poisonous, because they have been soaked in the blood spring for 49 days. They will not lose their minds, but they will eventually go mad. Bixuan comes to see the porridge, which is a gift from the emperor. He tells the sister that the porridge is a token of thanks for her efforts during the mourning period. He also tells her that the emperor must have wanted to reward her for her willingness to die in the Empress Dowager's service. He says that if he takes the porridge to the pavilion, he will receive an appreciation from the Emperor.
