An imperial instrument is shattered and palace officials panic because, without the woman who can play its summons, they cannot draw His Majesty. They search the entire palace but fail to find her. The emperor admits his folly and orders that no one look for her anymore. Then a familiar melody is heard and traced to the nearby Blossom Court. Confusion follows: the court is supposedly occupied yet it's locked. The episode ends on the unresolved mystery of who is playing inside the locked Blossom Court and why she vanished.
