Phoenix in the Imperial Palace

The servant tells the royal consort that the princess has been separated from the crowd and that someone bumped into her. The royal consort asks the servant if he can help the princess, and the servant says that he can't, because he has to go to the palace to find out what's going on. He says that the palace has ordered more people to spy on him, and that's why he's been late in finding out about the book of the arts of war. He's worried about the princess's safety, because she's likely to encounter some bad things while in their hands. He tells the servant to stay and help him hold the prince back, because the prince won't allow him to marry the princess. He also says that if he and the princess leave, the prince will definitely suspect them of being in love. The servant says he'll buy one of the beautiful girls in the auction for revenge. He thinks that the prince has killed many of his brothers, and everyone has a grudge against him, so they should give him a chance. The prince says that his people are useless, because they're only interested in venting their anger on the princess
