The king of the fanyu kingdom comes to meet the new emperor. The king tells his father that he has poisoned the wine in the royal kitchen so that the envoys from the kingdom will not be able to see him. He also tells him that the empress of the kingdom has forbidden him to marry the king's daughter, and that he will be sent to a "wasteland" where he will never again see the sun. The father tells his son that he is sorry, but he has no choice. He says that he lost his cat and that they had drunk poisoned wine. The guards outside have also been poisoned, and the king asks the doctor to get them out of the way. He tells the father that if he wants to make him emperor, then he can make the king overlord.
