The narrator tells the reader that he will visit the place of the northern emperor, who was the only emperor who did not grant death before he died. The emperor, however, did not listen to the song that the narrator is playing, "Blooming flowers and Full Moon." The narrator says that he hopes that everyone will be happy in the novel, but he cannot help but feel that the emperor is becoming suspicious of the narrator. He says that eunuch Zhao has sent him to the place where the emperor lives, but the emperor refuses to go with him.
