In this short scene, we learn that the Duke of Guise has been accused of being involved in the murder of the minister. The Duke is furious, and he demands that the King search Guise's residence and execute all of his clan. Guise tells the Duke that if he had trusted him more, he might not have been the one to be accused. He also tells him that sister liu has been persecuted by the Western xia army and that her family has been wiped out. Fortunately, she has been rescued by the Duke's brother, the prince qi. Now that the matter concerning the minister has been settled, Guise feels much better. He wants to go to the palace to tell the prince about the poisoned food. Biyuan, the messenger, is also in the palace, and she tells Guise that she has come to inform the prince. She also tells the prince that the poison that poisoned the prince is from the west, and that a civilian will offer the Duke the antidote with his hands.
