In this scene, we learn that the general of the Ming army, General Wu, has been working with the enemy to overthrow the government of the People's Republic of China. We learn that this is the first time the general has been involved in such a plot, and it is clear that he does not approve of the general's actions. He tells the prince that he will kill him if the opportunity presents itself. The prince asks the general if he has ever loved him, and the general replies that he has only ever loved "xiao yu an." The prince is so upset that he cries and begs the general to stop making him cry.
