In the Eastern Palace Hall, Lin Chen comforted Qian Renxue with a meal, and she agreed to compete fairly with her mother without harming her, though she could not get Lin Chen to promise not to interfere.

Tang San's group escaped the bedchamber with Xue Ye, but Dugu Yan stopped Dugu Bo from helping them and brought him to Xue Qinghe's side.

• Xiao He warned Qian Renxue that Dugu Bo, Tang San, and the others had entered Xue Ye's bedchamber, so Qian Renxue changed into her Xue Qinghe disguise.
