Palace Lady Shen is left shaken after a disturbance in court and is excused from the emperor's favor that evening. Your Highness lashes out, saying 'bitch, how dare you,' which escalates the scene while Palace Lady Shen immediately apologizes: 'It was all my fault. The emperor is not to blame.' The emperor urges her to lie down; attendants, including Noble Consort Ning, bring chicken soup and remove her from the audience. As she lies down she murmurs, 'I remember you were holding me like this,' leaving her condition and that memory unresolved.
