At midnight, the court turns over the princess, who is still unable to fall asleep. She tells the marquis that she thinks su li is clever and scheming. She also tells him that the duke chu has rejected her because of her. The princess says that she has already decided that she will marry marquis, and that she does not care if she is the kind of person that she is. She says that if she stays with marquis she will forget about the duke's rejection. When the princess asks why she is so upset, she tells her that she just wants to treat a wound on her neck. She then tells the duke that she knows little about the village of Luofeng, where she was born. A human trafficker, who raised her up, told him that on the day he was born, a flood swept through the village, and a plague swept the village. Afterwards, a woman named wang and the woman who raised him survived the plague, and she died when she was 6 or 7 years old. The prince asks why the princess is upset, and the princess replies that if conventional treatment does not cure her disease, she may have to go back to the village to find out the answer. She asks the prince if he is worried about her now, and he says that he is. He tells her to open the letter from the duke, who wants to invite her to the temple.
