This chapter opens with a discussion of the effects of an internal force inhibitor on the body. The author explains that the inhibitor suppresses the body's ability to produce blood and qi, which are two vital elements of the human body. He then proceeds to discuss the upcoming wedding of the crown prince and the princess of the Su family. He speculates that the prince is in love with the princess and has asked the emperor's permission to marry her. He adds that the marriage will be his last in his last reincarnation because he will not be able to do anything for another person's life. He also discusses the fact that gong jue will not return to the palace for two days, which means that the people watching him will do something if he tries to escape. He concludes that he will have to make himself his woman.
