He's the most loyal soldier in the army, and he's ready to fight. The General tells his son that he hasn't beaten the second prince yet, and that the prince has asked him to stay at the palace so that he can be taken hostage. He tells him that if he wins, he'll be the princess, and if he loses, she will be the concubine. He also tells her that the General sent a girl there to draw the attention of the soldiers. The girl says that she's never seen the General care so much for someone. The war is coming, and she worries that she might be killed in the palace. She begs the General to help her, but he won't, because he knows that Linyuan is going to lose the battle.
