The next morning, baiyan asks the princess why she keeps su li. The princess replies that she keeps her because she thinks that baiyan will think that her brother will eventually give up on her and that she will have less of a threat. baiyan says that he will keep her alive because she is stupider than he thought. He says that if he feels disgusted because of what he has done to her, he can apologize for it. But he says that su li is a kind person who will take revenge for any grievance. He tells baiyan that he just lost a lot of blood the night before, so he's kind of dizzy. If he wants to kill him, he has to do it now. He asks where su is, and the princess says that she's in her room, and that the way he looked when he came back last night shocked her. She doesn't have a doctor, so she can't treat him, but she can only perform acupuncture on him. But baiyan was with her when he returned last night, and she didn't see him.
