Court lady An Huilan comes to make a request. She claims she can hear the voice of a dead consort coming from within the water. Xi Wanlin, the Magpie Consort during Yandi's reign, drowned herself in the lake on the day the emperor was to visit her. The voice within the water is allegedly hers. Huilan asks Shouxue to save Wanlin, but Shouxue realizes there is more to the story than what Huilan is telling her.
I scattered it across the ground 
and crushed it beneath my shoes.
نثرتُه على الأرض ودهستُه بحذائي
Ich verstreute ihn über dem Boden
und trampelte darauf herum.
Yo la esparcí en el suelo y la aplasté
con el taco de mis zapatos.
Yo la esparcí en el suelo y la aplasté

J’ai vidé la bourse par terre
मैंने उस मिट्टी को ज़मीन पर बिखेरकर 
अपने जूतों तले रौंद दिया।
Io lo presi, lo sparsi al suolo
Eu espalhei essa terra no
chão e pisei com meu sapato.
А я всё это высыпала
и с силой растоптала.
