The Empress tells the concubine that the next emperor should be her uncle, since the previous emperor's father died and there was no heir to the throne. The Empress then tells her that insulting the Emperor is an offense punishable by nine "family-exterminations" and she advises her to stay away from the emperor in the future so that she won't have to. The Concubine says she'll take her leave, and the Empress tells her to hurry back to the house because it's raining and she needs to go find a doctor.
