Back at the palace, the Queen is waiting for her sister, who has just returned from delivering soup to the Prince. The Queen tells her that the day is coming for the crown princess's selection, and she asks the Queen if she remembers that she promised to do her a favor when she was cured of fei. When the Queen says that she does remember, she tells the Queen that she is not participating in the selection because she does not want to be associated with the "princess" . She says that since she has agreed to the agreement, she will not force the Queen to choose her as the princess. When she hears that someone has come to look at her, she begs the Queen not to do anything foolish, but to let her go. She tells her sister to go away, but the Queen refuses to listen to her, saying that she will help her if she has something to say. She then tells her to go get the Prince and tell him what has happened.
