The next morning, Guaiguai shows up at the palace. He's happy to help, but he's also worried about what will happen in the future if he doesn't do the right thing. He wants to pretend to be the emperor so that he can do whatever he wants with the little girl. He says he'll apply an ointment to her burns to make her feel better. He also says he wants to make sure that there's no direct conflict between the two of them, so he can act as if he knows the etiquettes of the game. But, he says, if you're trying to get close enough to the emperor to know what's going on, you still need to catch the emperor's eye.
