The next day, the emperor's sister tries to convince the emperor that she has nothing to hide. She tells him that she went to the brothel to check on her sister's safety, and that she is a member of the royal family and therefore entitled to the privileges of the emperor. The emperor, however, does not believe her. He believes her to be a prostitute, and he asks her why she is asking him about it. The queen tells him to stop making fun of her, for she is not a prostitute.
