The first young lady is nowhere to be found. The men have searched the back garden and found her hair pin. They're still looking for her, but the top priority is to find out what happened. This is the chancellor's fault. He's the one who's keeping the search going. The chancellor says that the jade pendant that the men have been looking for is in the pond, and that it's likely that the young lady was taken by the prince. He tells the men to send someone to the prince's palace and investigate. They must find her, the chancellor says. He asks the chancellor if he's here to find shishi, and the chancellor coughs and says that he is. They find her accessories and her jade pendant, and she's gone. They think that the prince has taken her, and they ask the chancellor why he would have someone else with his pendant. The prince says that it belongs to someone else, and then he asks if the chancellor is feeling well, and if he can help find out who the pendant belongs to. The man coughs again, and he says that his sister is missing. He wants to know if the prince gave her a jade pendant the day before, but he can't figure out who it is.
