After Yang Ying escaped with Zheng Qingyun, she wanted to return to retrieve the mission, but Zheng Qingyun said that Sun Lang and others suspected that he was an accomplice of the bandit, so he knocked him unconscious and escaped with Yang Ying. Yang Ying still insisted on going back. Zheng Qingyun deliberately exposed the wounds on her body to make Yang Ying feel distressed. Zheng Qingyun also specifically promised to be good to Yang Ying in this life. When Yang Ying agreed to marry him as his wife, he wanted to violate Yang Ying again. Ying pushed Zheng Qingyun away, saying that the two of them should get married openly and openly, and not have an affair without a matchmaker.
But Zheng Qingyun was obsessed with sex and insisted on ignoring Yang Ying's wishes. Yuanlu came to capture Zheng Qingyun, but Zheng Qingyun took advantage of Yuanlu's heart disease to stab Yuanlu and took Yang Ying away by force. Ning Yuanzhou and Ruyi saw Yuanlu's horse on their way back and accidentally discovered that Yuanlu was injured. Yang Ying was extremely disappointed with Zheng Qingyun because he killed Yuan Lu and made herself a traitor. Yang Ying insisted on returning to save Yuan Lu, but Zheng Qingyun ruthlessly wanted to kill Yang Ying. Fortunately, Ning Yuanzhou came to save Yang Ying.
Zheng Qingyun saw Ning Yuanzhou and wanted to escape, but was eventually captured by Ning Yuanzhou and Ruyi. Ruyi bandaged Yuanlu's wound and confirmed that Yuanlu was not in danger of life. Ning Yuanzhou wanted to find out from Zheng Qingyun about the disappearance of gold. Yang Ying begged Ning Yuanzhou not to kill Zheng Qingyun. Ning Yuanzhou accused Yang Ying of not having to kneel down for a despicable person like Zheng Qingyun.
Ruyi told Yang Ying that Zheng Qingyun had murderous intentions for her before, which made Yang Ying completely disappointed with him. Ruyi interrogated Zheng Qingyun and learned that the bandits had stolen the gold, and he took away His Highness. The two parties had nothing to do with each other, but they met again in Tangjia Town three days later, and everything was behind the instigation of King Danyang. Yang Ying learned that after King Danyang's promise was fulfilled, Zheng Qingyun would not only have the position of Prince Consort, but he could also serve as the general of the Imperial Guard.
Seeing Yang Ying give up on him, Zheng Qingyun could no longer hide his despicable feelings. He accused Yang Ying of being ungrateful and frivolous, and even insulted Yang Ying as being despicable and looked down upon by others. Yang Ying retorted angrily. Zheng Qingyun wanted to take Yang Ying hostage and leave, but Yang Ying killed Zheng Qingyun in anger. Yang Ying was so excited that she fainted due to being deceived. Ning Yuanzhou and Ruyi took her back to the post house.
In order to prevent the peace talks from causing further trouble, Ning Yuanzhou and others discussed retrieving the gold as soon as possible. Several people analyzed the possible routes that King Danyang's men might take with the gold, and went separately to search for news. In the end, it was discovered that King Danyang sent two teams to transport heavy objects worth thousands of gold. Ning Yuanzhou and others could not tell which pair of people transported the gold. In the end, Yuanlu came and concluded based on experience that the route to transport the gold should be to the ferry.
After determining the gold route, Ning Yuanzhou and others successfully recovered the gold downstream of the ferry. Ning Yuanzhou interrogated the bandit leader and confirmed that King Danyang did not want Yang Ying's life, but only wanted to steal the gold organization Yang Ying and go to Anguo. Ning Yuanzhou admitted that both King Danyang and Zhang Song knew how to govern the country better than Emperor An, but the brothers of Liu Daotang who died in vain still needed Emperor An to clear their grievances, so they agreed to rescue Emperor An.
Ning Yuanzhou was sorry that he had just been with Ruyi but had no time to take her out to see flowers and plants. He promised that after the mission's work was over, the two of them could go to a place where there were only two of them, plant flowers and vegetables together, cook and fish together. . Yu Shisan told Ning Yuanzhou that the introduction envoy sent by Emperor An and Fan Dongming, the young minister of Honglu Temple in Anguo, came to visit him when they learned that King Li was ill. They insisted on seeing His Royal Highness King Li with their own eyes. Ning Yuanzhou came forward to delay the time and the introduction envoy Li Tongguang saw it. The person who really made the decision on the mission was Ning Yuanzhou. He said that he and His Royal Highness Prince Li had similar status. If Prince Li avoided seeing him, it would be rude to Da'an. After Ruyi arranged for Yang Ying, Yu Shisan hinted that Ning Yuanzhou would come to see Yang Ying with the introduction envoy.
