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.
she never kneels before the emperor.
لا تجثو أمام الإمبراطور قطعاً
kommt sie nicht
mit dem Kaiser in Berührung.
elle ne se prosterne jamais
devant l’empereur.
वह सम्राट के आगे कभी नहीं झुकती।
non ha alcun contatto con l'Imperatore.
ela jamais se ajoelhava
perante o Imperador.
