In this short scene, the young concubine tries to remember what she was supposed to do in order to complete her mission. She remembers that the empress had asked her to accompany her on a royal feast in two days, and she remembers that jiang li wants to kill her. She tells the master that she has been providing for him for a long time, but that he still wants her to kill him. He tells her that if she increases his favorability in her, her mind reading technique will improve, which will make her more able to complete the mission. He then tells her to remember the date of the feast. He says that since jiangli still wants to murder her, he will offer him the opportunity to do so, and he will not be blamed if he cannot do it. He also tells her not to worry about his feelings for jiang, as he will only use him if he is needed for the main mission
