Permission Without Instructions
The gate opens
The Queen Mother allows Mulan and Lu Ting-Pin to enter, but only Mulan may pick one item.
The guide is silent
The Rabbit is too weak to explain what the flower looks like, leaving Mulan with a deadline and a large garden.
Searching by Name
A Guess from Language
No reliable description
Lu Ting-Pin admits that he does not know the plant, so Mulan uses its name to reason about its likely appearance.
Royal color
She concludes that “Heavenly Majesty” suggests purple, giving the search a practical but uncertain direction.
The Peach Tree Appears
A Dangerous Alternative
The celebrated fruit
Mulan encounters the Queen Mother’s tree of glowing peaches and remembers Daji’s insistence that she take one.
A choice with consequences
The fruit could keep Xiu alive, but the Rabbit’s warning makes Mulan question what kind of future it would buy.
A Toy Becomes a Guide
The Clue Was Carried
The Rabbit stirs
The Rabbit pushes Xiu’s toy out of the pouch just as Mulan asks for help.
A remembered design
Mulan recognizes the embroidered flower and counts its nine petals, connecting it to Lu Ting-Pin’s candidate plants.
The Correct Flower Found
The Remedy Secured
A match confirmed
Mulan reaches the patch of purple, nine-petaled flowers and confirms the design matches the toy.
Danger interrupts
Bees reveal the White and Red Foxes just as Mulan is about to pick, turning discovery into the final confrontation.
