The next morning, Linyuan arrives at his mother's house. He asks why the boy is so depressed. Linyuan tells him that in the kingdom of yue, only the founding emperor is allowed to ascend to the throne. He tells the boy that Linyuan has revealed the royal scandal to him, and that there's no need to worry about it since they're having a meal. He says that even if Linyuan's blood is royal blood, it won't fuse in his bone because it's a soft tissue, not a hard tissue like a bone. He also says that if he were a chicken, he'd have to have a bone test to prove that he's not a chicken brother. The boy is speechless, and Linyuan asks him to bite a few drops of blood. He doesn't know what to make of it, but he does know that the boy's bone is going to decay after he dies, so he'll have to expose it to the outside world.
