Now that huan has lost her female guards, she's going to put her life on the line to fight the emperor and his army. The emperor is merciless, the emperor says, and he'll have to kill huan as well. The spirit of the emperor is just like the King of the Snow Clan, he says. He's in the middle of a night shift, so it's a good time to check on the king. The king has been attacked by the emperor, who poisoned him with black poison. Fortunately, he found a book of medicine in the Emperor's vault. He used the book to compound medicine for the king, who lost all of his healing powers. He asks the emperor if there's any place in the world that has white flowers, and the emperor responds that there isn't. He says he's never been there, but he still hopes to see it someday. He tells the emperor that he owes the king too much, and that he needs to take the envoy's stuff back to the snow clan's motherland. The envoy has been visiting the emperor late at night to make sure that the king's health is okay. He was surprised to find the king in the jail, and wonders why the emperor risked his life to save the king from execution. He also says that the envoy has a great warrior among them, and they can see that the warrior is going to try to use huan's trump card against them tonight. The Emperor is merciless. He always shows mercy to foreigners, the Emperor says.
