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.
Just before Wanlin entered the inner palace, 
a thief broke into the mansion.
،قبل دخول وانلين للقصر الداخليّ
اقتحم لصٌّ القصر
Kurz vor Wanlins Eintritt in den inneren Palast
brach ein Dieb in das Anwesen ein.
Antes de entrar al palacio interior,
Antes de entrar al palacio interior,
Peu avant son entrée
au palais intérieur,
वनलिन के अंत:पुर में आने से ठीक पहले, 
एक चोर हवेली में घुस आया था।
Poco prima che la nobile Wanlin
entrasse alla corte interna,
Logo antes da Wanlin-sama vir para o
Palácio Interno, um ladrão entrou na mansão.
Прямо перед переводом во внутренний двор
к Ваньлинь ворвался вор.
