He thinks that the fourth prince must have been plotting against him after he died in his dreams. Lin tries to cheer him up by telling him to stop fooling around with new year gifts.

He tells her that the junior general has ulterior motives and is trying to get Lin to fight for the prince. He says that Lin is very close to the prince and that he will fight for him.
