The emperor believes all of his subjects are rebelling against him, and accuses Mei Changsu to be the cause. He attempts to kill Mei, but is stopped by Prince Jing. Deluded, he returns to his chambers, where Consort Jing explains his wrongdoings and how responsible he is to the Chiyan incident. Mei Changsu confronts the emperor, who finally agrees to re-judge and re-investigate the Chiyan case, with the condition that Lin Shu must not reside in the palace, as he is a living reminder of the Emperor's mistakes. Mei Changsu agrees, stating that Lin Shu no longer exists anyway. (Source: Wikipedia)
