In this chapter, we learn that the current emperor's half-brother, Xinhua, is a prisoner in the prison. Xinhua asks Xinhua to kill him if he still has feelings for Xinhua. Briefly, we are told that Xinhua was the son of a deposed empress and that he was raised by Xinhua's father, Cai jinzhong, as a foster child. When the qiyuan revolt was exposed, the empress, her brother-in-law, and her youngest son all died in the palace fire. Cai Jinzhong's entire family was exterminated, but he kept the eldest son, who was the seal of the previous emperor, as an adopted child. .
