At Gaojun's request, Shouxue investigates the ghost possessing the jade earring. The owner of the earring was Ban Yingnü. Ten years ago, she was suspected of poisoning the Third Consort and hanged herself. In order to discover the truth about her death, Shouxue heads to the wash house with her lady-in-waiting Jiu-Jiu where Ban Yingnü's personal attendant Su Hongqiao resides. However, Su Hongqiao is unable to speak to them as her tongue has been cut out.
I shall pay for the crime of sneaking 
into the inner palace with my death.
سأدفع ثمن جريمة التسلّل
للقصر الداخليّ بموتي
Ich werde für das Betreten des
inneren Palasts mit meinem Tod büßen.
Pagaré con mi vida
el haber entrado al palacio.
Pagaré con mi vida
el haber entrado en el palacio.
Je paierai mon crime de ma vie.
अंतःपुर में चोरी से घुसने के अपराध की कीमत 
मैं अपनी जान देकर चुकाऊँगा।
Pagherò con la mia vita
per essermi infiltrato nella corte interna.
Pagarei com a vida o crime de ter
me infiltrado no Palácio Interno.
Я расплачусь смертью
за проникновение в глубины дворца.
