Gaojun uncharacteristically appears lonely. Though Shouxue is concerned, she is unable to ask why. Several days later, Gaojun visits Ye Ming Palace to show her a haunted mask. The ghost haunting the mask apparently responds to a type of foreign lute. The problem is solved when Gaojun is able to provide such a lute. Gaojun tries to leave, but he is stopped by Shouxue.
Deep in the inner palace,
،في أعماق القصر الداخليّ
Tief im inneren Palast
En lo profundo del palacio interior,
En lo profundo del palacio interior,
Au plus profond
du palais intérieur
अंतःपुर की गहराई में कहीं,
Nel profondo della corte interna,
Lá no fundo do Palácio Interno,
В самых глубинах дворца
