Back at the palace, the disguised pat pat tells the disguised bunny that he wants to know if the emperor is really involved in the family's murder. The disguised bunny says that he can't accuse the emperor if he is innocent, because he's already under pat's control. He also says that the disguised jiuniang has been using her brain to figure out how to spy on the palace. He says that she's been wearing a palace maid's uniform and checking the carriage, which means that she is spying on the whole palace, not just on the emperor. He's also surprised that rizhao has already replaced the emperor, since he was supposed to be the last piece of the puzzle to complete the whole plan. He explains that he doesn't want anyone to see that he is the real emperor, because otherwise, they'll be able to kill him.
