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.
Even if it wasn't what she really wanted, 
she had already made up her mind.
،حتّى لو لم يكن هذا ما أرادته وانلين
فقد عقدت عزيمتها سلفاً
Selbst wenn dies nicht mehr Wanlins Wunsch war,
so hatte sie doch einen Entschluss gefasst.
Aunque no era lo que quería,
ya se había decidido.
Aunque no era lo que quería,
ya se había decidido.
Wanlin s’était résignée à son sort,
भले ही वनलिन यह सब नहीं चाहती थी, 
लेकिन वह पहले ही अपना मन बना चुकी थी।
Anche se questo non era ciò che desiderava,
Mesmo que não fosse o que ela queria,
já havia se decidido, não?
Может, когда-то Ваньлинь и желала иного,
но она сделала выбор.
