It's cold outside, and Shushan wakes up. He's delirious, and he can't believe that he's been poisoned. Shushan tells him that Dr. Weiyang has finally cured her of her illness, and that she's basically cured now. He tells Shushan to drink the poisoned blood, because it's "fishy" and "human blood" . He asks if there are any other informants at the mansion, and wonders if they're waiting for his command. He wants to know if Cai Min is locked up, waiting for her command, or if she'll be able to tell him what happened. He begs Cai Min to come back, but she won't. He says he'll take care of it, and then he tells her to go back to Cai Min's mansion.
