The concubine tells the emperor that she has seen the girl in the palace and knows that she is the one that the emperor is looking for. The emperor asks her why she hasn't gone to the court for a while, and she tells him that her mother must miss her so much. She says that she dares to wander around the forbidden court, and the emperor shows her the neck of the young woman who has confessed to having sex with the emperor. The king immediately locks the young man up, and his brother is furious. He tells his brother that the whole thing is his fault, and that he should tell the princess that it's all his fault. He says that if he doesn't tell her, she'll kill him right now, and it will make her even more angry. He admits that he's a witch, and he says that the princess's story is true. He promises to crush the young girl by himself.
