Biyue's servant tells him that he found out about the abduction of xin and lian when he reported it to the eunuch, who alerted the emperor. Biyue says that he doesn't think they were abducted, but that he thinks something is wrong. He says that if they were both taken away at once, this would mean that the kidnapper was a very good martial artist. He also says that his senior, xuan xi, did the same thing. He tells the emperor that he reported this to the emperor the moment he returned to the pavilion, and that the emperor did not blame his senior for the abduction. He thinks that some of the harem's martial arts circles have gotten involved in the abduction, and he blames himself for the death of zhen. He hopes that he will be able to find out the cause of her death, and if he does, he will inform the emperor immediately.
