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.
Perhaps you cared for
 Wanlin in your own way,
ربما اهتممتِ بـ وانلين بأسلوبكِ
Du hast sie auf deine Art geliebt, …
Tal vez quisiste a Wanlin a tu manera.
Tal vez quisiste a Wanlin a tu manera.
Peut-être étais-tu attachée à elle,
d’une certaine manière.
शायद अपने तरीके से
 तुम वनलिन की परवाह करती थी,
Forse, a modo tuo,
Talvez você se preocupasse
com ela da sua forma,
Может, ты и считала,
что заботишься о Ваньлинь.
