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 began hearing her voice soon after 
I was sent to the wash house.
بدأتُ بسماع صوتها بعدما
أُرسلت لمغسل الثياب بقليل
Kurz nachdem ich in die Wäscherei kam,
konnte ich immer wieder ihre Stimme hören.
Empecé a escuchar su voz
Empecé a escuchar su voz
J’ai commencé à entendre sa voix
धोबीख़ाने भेजे जाने के बाद से ही 
मुझे उनकी आवाज़ सुनाई देनी शुरू हो गई।
Cominciai a sentire quella voce
Comecei a ouvir sua voz assim que
fui mandada para a casa de banho.
В первый же день на новом месте
до меня стал доноситься голос принцессы.
