In the royal palace, Madame Long, the princess, and the lieutenant discuss the situation. Madame Long tells the lieutenant that she has escaped from the palace by herself. The lieutenant tells Madame Long that the situation is bad outside, but Madame Long says that they should get away first, cure Madame Long's wounds, and then return to the palace. She says that she is amazed that the lieutenant could defeat the serpent. She tells him that she used to try to control her own blood, but this all ended in failure. She thinks that the moment the lieutenant fought back, even she could feel the power of the lieutenant's mental strength. She thanks the lieutenant for saving her, and he says that the inner palace is full of guards. He says that there are only six banners of tigers guarding each palace gate, except for the patrols and guards chasing them. He sends the lieutenant a letter with the dragon scale, and tells him to search the palace carefully. He also tells him not to leave even one person, and to wash the bam of the warriors
