Yi Siha, a eunuch serving Feiyan Palace, visits Ye Ming Palace. He has seen the ghost of a boy holding a blue swallow feather and asks Shouxue to help him. During her investigation, Shouxue comes across Yi Siha being caned by some older eunuchs. When she stops the punishment, Yi Siha's mentor Kang Lan trembles with fear. In Shouxue's eyes he saw a horrifying monster.
I thought the Swallow Consort might 
become upset if she heard tell of a ghost.
ظننتُ أنّ زوجة السنونو قد تتضايق
إن سمعت بظهور شبح
Es würde die Schwalbenkonkubine
bloß verängstigen,
मुझे लगा स्वॉलो रानी शायद 
भूत की कहानी सुनकर परेशान हो जाएंगी।
Se la Consorte Rondine scoprisse
che c'è un fantasma,
Achei que a Consorte Andorinha ficaria
desgostosa ao saber que há um fantasma.
Я боялся, что весть о духе
потревожит покой принцессы-ласточки.
