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.

Your Highness, these plums 
are from His Majesty.
سموّك، هذا الخوخ من جلالته
Herrin! Diese Pflaumen
sind von Seiner Majestät!
