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.
As long as I am the emperor, it is my duty 
to know about the Raven Consort.
طالما أكون الإمبراطور، يقتضي عليّ واجبي
 أن أعرف شؤون زوجة الغراب
Als Kaiser ist es meine Pflicht,
über sie Bescheid zu wissen.
Mientras sea el Emperador,
es mi deber saber sobre ella.
Mientras sea el Emperador,
es mi deber saber sobre ella.
En ma qualité d’empereur,
जब तक मैं सम्राट हूँ, 
 रेवेन कंसोर्ट के बारे में जानना मेरा कर्तव्य है।
Finché sarò l'Imperatore,
Enquanto eu for o Imperador, é meu
dever saber sobre a Consorte Corvo.
Как император
я должен быть сведущ в этом вопросе.
