Crown Prince Hua Yong inadvertently rescues Shen Xi He from beneath the waters.

As Shen Xi He travels toward the capital, a group of assassins disguised as bandits lies in wait to intercept her carriage. Watching from afar, Xiao Hua Yong prepares to intervene, but Shen Xi He has already anticipated the threat.

Shen Xi He returns to the Duke of Wei's Manor after many years in the northwest.

The Emperor publicly displayed his favor by draping his own warm outer robe over the frail Crown Prince, igniting jealousy among the other princes.

As they walked through the lively streets, Shen Xi He’s sharp eyes caught a suspicious meeting in a dimly lit alley. She observed Hua Fu Hai and Cui Jin Bai speaking in hushed, guarded tones, soon joined by a highly skilled martial artist, who was actually the real Embroidered Envoy, Zhao Zheng Hao. To her surprise, these powerful men all bowed respectfully to a figure hidden in the shadows.

The excruciating treatment cut deep into his bones, forcing the Crown Prince to grip the wooden table until his knuckles left deep scratches. Despite the torment, a strong will to survive burned within him—a desire born entirely from his encounters with Shen Xi He.

Bu Shu Lin explains how corrupt officials skim the military budget in Shunan as well, offering endless excuses like transit losses to avoid accountability.

Below them, the entire capital was illuminated by countless warm yellow lanterns. Xiao Hua Yong confessed that he had commissioned the lanterns for every household and arranged for monks to bless those who kept them lit, all to bring her a moment of joy. Grateful for his thoughtfulness, Shen Xi He thanked him but urged him to return indoors to protect his fragile health.
