In this short scene, Miss Saya, the exiled princess of the Snow Clan, explains that she no longer represents the phantom clan and that she has been exiled from the harem. She says that she is willing to sacrifice her and her guards' lives to protect the dignity of the emperor, but she is not a member of the royal family. She adds that she tried to win the heart of mu Xuanjue, but gave up her dignity to please him. This might be her last meeting with Miss Sayala, she says. She tells her that consort ling has been caught carrying the personal belongings of the snow king. The royal guards will not show up to arrest her, she tells her, because they are aware of the plan to kill her. She explains that each of her crimes is enough for her to be beheaded, and she finally has a reason to sentence her to death
