In the middle of the road, we hear a muffled cry. It's the voice of Prince Xiao, who is on his way to the western part of the country. He wants to see his beloved, but he can't bring himself to leave the capital. He begs him to stop, but the prince won't listen. He tells him to go back to the capital and see him. The prince asks if he can see his love from the west, and the prince says yes. He asks if she's from the east, and she says no. Then the prince asks the emperor to take him to see the drawings. The emperor says yes, and he's sorry to be late.
