The next morning, Ching-yu wonders why his sister vomited for so long. He asks a doctor to examine her, but the doctor says that it's too late. He's worried about his sister's health, and wonders if he's going to have to marry a blind prince to protect her. Ching-Ying says that he'll marry the prince if the baby is gone, but Ching-Zongze says that's not a good idea, because Ching-Yuan is pregnant. He wants to know if there's a problem with the informant, and he asks the doctor if he can have a look at his sister. The doctor says he can't, because the family will be away for a long time. He says he just took an antidote to the fish scale, which is a sign that the water monster is in the water's hiding place, and that there is a spell on the scale, so he can use it to find the place of the monster's lair. He calls the doctor when they get to the mansion, and asks him to tell him what's up with the spy.
