As the old emperor had died, Fujitsubo returned to her palace in Sanjo. She commissioned religious services in hopes of freeing herself from Genji's attention. She was very careful not to be approached by him. Genji could manage to find a way to enter her room secretly. She fainted with pain and fell down. But Genji stayed there even the daybreak came. Omyobu and Ben hid Genji in the closet and looked after Fujitsubo. Her brother, Prince Hyobu and her chamberlain came and sent for priests excitedly.
