Mingling's plan to lock down the city was all part of his plan to get rid of Yu Yunyang. Mingling also wanted to make sure that the city would be locked down so that he could cure himself. He also wanted the city to be sealed off so that no one would know that he was in it. The city was already sealed off when Mingling arrived, so why should the city be put on lock-down just to save the life of his brother? Mingling says that even if the emperor is dead, the royal blood will still be carried on, so even if he were to die, the people would still be loyal to him. The concubine asks Mingling if he wants to marry Yu Yun to become an emperor. He says that he can only do so if he is the only one who can marry him. In other words, if Mingling wants to be an emperor, he must marry Yu Yin. The man is shocked that Mingling is so serious, and he begs Mingling to take this as a sign of respect for the people. He reminds Mingling that he once saved him from being captured by demons, and Mingling tells him that it was Mingling who saved him. He goes on to say that he thought Mingling would never see him again, but Mingling did. He tells Mingling the truth about how much he envied Mingling.
