The emperor asks Song Qian to accompany him on his northern tour. He tells Song Qian that he is afraid that he will not be able to spend much time with him. Song Qian tells the emperor that his mother has always refused to allow him to go out of the house because she feared that he would cause trouble. The emperor tells him that there are many people around the house and that he should run into them and ignore them. He says that he feels relieved that the emperor cares for him. He also says that in his world there is only one person who needs the emperor's care. He adds that he does not want to be the doctor who says that they should be restrained. He asks if he should be the one who says they should not be restrained, and the emperor replies that he himself is the doctor. He then says that tomorrow he will personally open the gate and wait for the message that the army will arrive at noon. When the emperor asks if there will be any accidents during the northern tour, he replies that there cannot be, because he personally guards Shaohua yard. When he asks if the princess should be allowed to stay in the courtyard, the emperor says that she should be killed without mercy if necessary. He further says that if necessary, he should kill without mercy. He reminds the emperor of the fact that he has made a big disturbance, and he asks the emperor if he still needs to keep this "humility" between him and his wife. He replies that if the emperor divorced his wife, he would be ashamed. He urges the emperor to take his wife with him when he returns to the capital.
