The servants tell the princess that she's back, and that the painting is missing one of the concubines. The concubine is named xiangyi, and he used to be a servant of the late emperor. The princess wonders if she can figure out what's wrong with the painting. She also tells the servants that someone has died at her palace, and she says that it's just like the dead princess. She says that they shouldn't discuss it, because it'll be too scary. The lord liu tells the princess to stop talking about the map of the city. Otherwise, he says, he'll have solved the case. He says that the map shows that there are four palaces in the city, and one of them is right in the middle of the map. He also says that someone is offering sacrifices to the princess. He needs to report this to the emperor ASAP.
