The eunuch tries to convince the king to let the princess out of her cell, but the king refuses, saying that the conditions in the cell are much better than in a single cell. The king tells the king that he has sent all of his people away to the capital, and that the concubine has died. He asks the king why he is hurrying to release the family, and the king tells him that the family is no longer useful to the king. He says that he must save the family. He borrows 72 people from the capital in 12 hours, and says that his people have found a medicine that can be used to abort a baby. He will not destroy the body, and he will sew it back after he cuts it open.
