In this chapter, Cang diao explains that his mother has already used ecstasy incense to stop him from using his martial arts. She wants him to pretend that he has been poisoned so that she won't know that he's been taking the pills. He's glad that he took the pills, because like he was "poisoned" by ecstasy. He tells the grand princess that he can't wait to see what she's going to do. The princess tells him that the prince regent is going to kill himself at the imperial court, and the superintendent is supposed to be the one who's supposed to do the killing. Cang says that the princess must be worried about her son's reputation, since he has a nine-year-old uncle. He also tells the princess that her son died shortly after giving birth, and that the superintendent personally buried him. He says that if he had known what she would do, he'd have killed her earlier. The grand princess says that she'll kill the superintendent if he tries to kill her son when counting the three on the count-three . She says she'd be the first woman emperor after taking over the throne, since her son and her ninth brother aren't eligible to inherit the throne at this time
