When the Ming family arrives at the emperor's palace, they find the emperor in a coma, but he manages to hold onto a willow press for a few presses. The Ming family begs the emperor to let them in, but the emperor refuses, saying that they cannot enter without permission. He tells them that they can enter only if they have permission to do so, and that they should not kiss the emperor. He says that if they kiss him, they are not at all at loss, but if they do kiss him a little bit, then they are at risk of losing their dignity. They argue that the emperor is trying to set their family up, and if he dies, how can they explain it? They argue again, and finally the emperor says that they must not insult his body, and should not forget to "stick out their tongue, honey." They argue more and more, until the emperor finally agrees to let the Mings in, and they rush off to get some food and a blanket. The emperor is worried that he will catch a cold, so he dismisses his servant, and Mings family is saved. Mings father has just cleared the family's name, so they will not be dragged down with the emperor if he wants to kill him. Ming tells the emperor not to worry, because he will do everything in his power to get revenge. He asks if he will be loyal to him in the future
