This chapter opens with a soliloquy by Milady. Milady asks Milady if she wants him to bring over the third-grade heart-protective elixir that she has made for him, and Milady tells her that she does not need it, as it is a gift from the pavilion. She tells Milady that zhuo had planned to sacrifice Milady as a bait, but Milady knows that this must have been a misunderstanding, as he is always planning for the future. She says that if Milady wants to die, she will grant her wish right here.
