He says that shengxia provoked him at his place , and that chen zayan appeared soon after. When he heard that dean isang had been killed, he knew that he could not hide it from zheng, so he would find zheng and tell him the truth. He asks zheng if he knows anything about the deaths of zhugeyan, sang haijing, and haoan, and asks if zheng would kill him if he said yes, so that he would not lie to himself that he was no friend. . , zheng tells him that zhuge and sang Haijing committed suicide so that they could kill the empress, and sing Haijing chose to kill himself because he was old and wanted to die by taking poison. He thinks that the dowagers were both at daggers, but that zheng was more ruthless, because he stabbed himself in order to cause the deep wound.
