Palen brings the wounded Peter to his house. D'Arnie learns that Peter is alive and offers to kill him. But this is impossible - Alexander himself took care of the wounded cavalryman. Ksenia, having heard the conversation, says that she will take care of the patient. Realizing who wounded Peter, she forbids D'Arny to kill him - the Master did not give such an order. Benigsen brings Palin the news that Maria Feodorovna has decided to reign.
