In this chapter, we learn that the emperor has already known about the princess's identity for a long time. The princess tells the emperor that she is not a talented or brilliant emperor, and that she often opposes him. She also tells him that she has received a mission from the emperor to assist him, but she was not told whether she was a prince or princess. She feels that he is trying to seduce her. Hening has gone missing in the jifu temple, and if the princess does not show up, he will use her disappearance as an excuse for spying on the city. If they do not release his suspicions, they will be in trouble later.
