The next morning, Caixin tells the emperor that he saw Dong lying in bed. Caixin asks if she is dead or alive, and the emperor says that he doesn't know. He tells Caixin that she should not blame herself for what happened, since she was the one who kept the harem in order. He says that she has been with the emperor for ten years, and he knows that deceiving him is a capital offense. He asks Caixin to deliver the seal of the phoenix to the pavilion on the following day.
