In this chapter, we learn that the Duke of Yuhe has been in Yuhe for a while, and that he has been thinking about the Duke. He tells the Duke that he loves him, but that he only sees the Duke as a brother. The Duke tells him that he encouraged him when he failed in his attempt to escape from danger, and he has filled his life with the Duke in the last few months. He asks the Duke why the lords in heaven let him and the Duke meet, but the Duke says that they only see each other as brothers. He says that he is getting caught red-handed, because the Duke has crossed the line of friendship with him, and now the Duke treats him as if he were a guest of the Yuhe kingdom.
