### Summary
The narrative pivots to the red-headed Chief General, whose attractive appearance and respectful demeanor have immediately captivated the readership, sparking widespread speculation that he will become the second male lead. The chapter's central conflict revolves around a severe, undisclosed ailment afflicting the General, which readers humorously and persistently theorize is hemorrhoids brought on by five days of riding. The climax arrives when Bayan demonstrates immense bravery and cleverness. Deciphering a riddle from her mother where a "blue thread" signifies a vein, she unhesitatingly cuts herself to use her own blood to heal him. This act unveils a crucial plot point: Bayan's blood possesses potent, instantaneous healing powers that are effective even on non-Siyo people, a discovery that surprised many readers who believed her abilities were limited or had expired. This revelation reframes Bayan from a "worthless" outcast to a powerful individual, directly linking her to the manga's title, "Elixir of the Sun," and suggesting this is how she will ultimately save the Emperor. The event also vindicates Bayan's mother, portraying her not as neglectful but as a genius who left subtle clues for her daughter to uncover her true destiny.
