In this scene, Longcheng tries to convince his brother-in-law, the emperor of the Lao People's Republic, to allow the princess to return to her native land. Longcheng's brother, Zongjian, is angry that the princess wants him to disrupt the wedding ceremony, and he begs the emperor to allow Zangjian to return. He also asks that the emperor apologize to him for his role in the killing of his brother, and to bring the matter to an end. He asks the emperor not to cut off diplomatic ties with the kingdom of the yu, but to return the princess if he wishes. He tells Longcheng that he has three requests for the emperor: first, he should not blame the guards for protecting him; second, he shouldn't blame his brother for helping him escape from the tiger; and third, he doesn't have to blame the emperor for mobilizing the guards without his father's permission.
