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.
who would not embarrass 
herself at the inner palace.
لا تخجل نفسها
في القصر الداخليّ
die sich im inneren Palast
nicht beschämen würde.
जिसे अंत:पुर में 
कभी शर्मिंदा न होना पड़े।
que jamais passaria vergonha
dentro do Palácio Interno.
которая не опозорится
во внутреннем дворе!
