In the morning, the Governess kneels before her father and asks him to remain unchanged. The Governess tells him that she loves him so much that she cannot bear to kill him. She asks him if there are any other men in Yulan that she could choose to be her partner. He tells her that there are many men in the whole world, and that he has already become the emperor. She tells her father that she has fallen in love with the man, but that she does not know the reason for it. She says that she knows that she should not have had feelings for him, but she also feels that she was being unreasonable. She adds that she used to have complaints against her father, but he has been nice to her since she escaped from the cold palace. She explains that she is lame by age and that both she and her father can no longer control their feelings for her. As long as she is alive, she says, she will be able to let go of her feelings for both of them. She claims that she will protect her sister, and she swears to god that she can protect her. She then asks her father if he is planning to revolt. He says that he is rational right now, and as long as he agrees with her, he will do anything for her
