Hai Shi pushes herself so hard in the battalion drills that her old wound resurfaces. While feverish, Fang Zhu visits her. Before the battalion leaves for Huangquan Pass, she tells him her feelings and that he should no longer interfere with her life, or she may do something that forces them to never see each other again. To protect her maids, Ti Lan acknowledges the pain and unhappiness the Emperor feels as she endures it herself after coming to Dazheng, but makes it clear it is her fate she willingly accepts and that the innocent should not suffer.
