In the middle of the night, Lingyan finally catches up to his wife. He tells her that he has caught her, and that she is going to kill the ninth princess. He also tells her to kill her brother, who is still alive, because if she kills him, he will be killed as well. Lingyan says that she was mad when she forced herself on him back in the first place, but now she wants to be her true self. She asks him why he suddenly said these things, and he says that he wants her to be his true self from now on. He says that after he gets his revenge, they'll all start over again. He then tells Lingyan to go to sleep, because he still has a lot of worries. He asks her if she's going to murder her husband, and she says that it's not going to happen, because it triggered her internal injury. She tells him to check her pulse, because she hasn't recovered from her injury. He reminds her that they have sworn an oath before heaven and earth, but she doesn't take it seriously
