The next morning, Bixuan and the others leave the imperial garden and walk all the way to the "yiyu pavilion" , where they will spend the night. As they are leaving, a man in a guard's uniform takes Dong away from her, and she is afraid that if she dies, she will suffer even more. She asks jianchen to take her to a nearby jewelry store to buy her a hairpin, but he refuses, saying that he is too hungry to go. She begs him to go, and he agrees. She tells him that she is the "pureest and kindest girl" and that she does not care what other people think of her.
