Three days later, the cute girl reappears. The new lady-in-waiting is miserable because she has to act like a lady all the time. She feels like she's being watched by her maids, who don't allow her to go outside for fun. She's miserable because her friends are in the yulin camp, and she still hasn't seen them yet. This is the place where she fell in love with the new emperor, the prince of daqi. The prince regent orders her to return to the palace, but instead, the imperial court ignores her. She tells the duke and the majesty to go pick up her arrow and get it for her, because the prince regent has ordered her to do so. The duke tells the royals to calm down, because he's just gotten over smallpox. He says that jin qi has changed since he ascended to the throne, and now he has extreme thoughts and even hurts himself. He's got a psychological problem, he says, but he'll get better as soon as they figure out a way to treat him.
