In this chapter, we learn that the second prince is waiting for his banquet to be opened, and that the third prince is also waiting for the banquet to begin. The third prince's bodyguard, Mr. Xu-feng, has been sent to the royal palace to spy on the royal family. He has been instructed to follow the orders of the second and third prince, and to ask the royal to keep his promise not to kill his brother, who is suffering from a serious disease.
