The next morning, the imperial prince comes to the ho-nest. He's furious that the concubine has attacked him so many times, and that he hasn't eaten for two days. He wants to know what's going on. He asks if it's because she's trying to break the relationship between the two of them, or if she just wants to be friends with the prince. The imperial prince says that he's just come to find out more about his interests. He doesn't apologize for punishing him, but he does want to know if there's anything he can do to help him.
