Deng Hui guessed that Ren Xin was the real murderer from the deaths of the eldest prince, Wang Guogong, and Tao Wei, because no one except Ren Xin remembered the late queen who had died five years ago. In order to vent his anger, Emperor An ordered Zhu Yiwei Fei, Dan and Ziyi, two envoys each, and fourteen members of the guards to hang themselves outside the south gate of the palace city on the grounds that Zhu Yiwei was not in a good position to serve as the master.

Although Deng Hui could not bear to execute his subordinates, he had to obey Emperor An's order. Ruyi learned that Emperor An had executed Zhu Yiwei for no reason and wanted to rescue him. Deng Hui planned to hang himself, but Ning Yuanzhou concealed his identity and specifically told the other party to hang himself. When he hanged himself, he pointed the bow string to the cartilage and exerted force. Seventy percent of the people might be lucky enough to survive. Deng Hui decided to personally administer the punishment, hoping to secretly spare these people's lives.

Although Ruyi deeply hated Zhu Yiwei's system of not treating women as human beings, she still blamed herself for having to watch her former colleagues being innocently killed by Emperor An. Ruyi wanted to help those Zhu Yiwei more, but she never thought of a good way. Ning Yuanzhou comforted Ruyi that he would accompany her to think about it, and the two of them completed the task together. Ruyi thanked Ning Yuanzhou for saving 70% of Zhu Yiwei today. Ning Yuanzhou said that Emperor An had raised the ransom, but the treasury of Wu State was empty, and Zhang Song could not come up with another 30,000 taels of gold, so everyone decided to attack the tower directly to save people.

Because of the death of the eldest prince, the guards at Yong'an Tower became even stricter. Yang Ying came to visit Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu knelt down and begged Yang Ying to take him away as soon as possible. Knowing that he still needed to wait for the opportunity, Emperor Wu was angry and wanted to kill Yang Ying. Yang Ying used Liudaotang's hidden weapon to threaten Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu threatened Yang Ying, if he cannot leave Yong'an Tower within seven days, he will tell Emperor An that Yang Ying is a woman.

Ning Yuanzhou escaped many traps and came to Yong'an Tower. Hearing Emperor Wu's threats to Yang Ying, he said that he would let Emperor Wu get down from the tower safely. Emperor Wu told Ning Yuanzhou that there were secret monograms on each of his edicts, otherwise they would be regarded as False edicts never follow orders. If Ning Yuanzhou wanted to redress the injustice of his cousins ​​in the Six Paths, he could only save himself and return home. Ning Yuanzhou mocked Emperor Wu for not being worthy of being emperor, and said that his trip to Anguo was forced by Zhang Song, and that Yang Ying entrusted him to do it for the country and his brothers, not for Emperor Wu.

Duke Chu Guo learned from Concubine Chu that the eldest prince died suddenly in exile. The Holy Emperor believed that it was the second prince who had done it, and it would be difficult for the second prince to return to the country. From this incident, Duke Chu knew the ability of Marquis Changqing. For this reason, he specially gave Fengyuan's Wubao, Buqu, and horses to Li Tongguang to show his sincerity. The public had to put his hope in Li Tongguang. Chuyue decided to keep Buqu in her own hands to check and balance Li Tongguang.

The next day, Chu Yue met Li Tongguang and expressed Chu Guogong's sincerity. He also said that in order to avoid leaks, he would temporarily manage the whole army by himself. Chuyue said that she had been dissatisfied since she was a child and that the tribal chief could only be succeeded by her eldest brother, so she worked hard to learn archery, tactics, etc. Li Tongguang believed that Chuyue was indeed better than her eldest brother. Chuyue was very happy when she heard Li Tongguang's praise. , and with the gradual contact with Li Tongguang, Chuyue gradually became more fond of him.

Ning Yuanzhou and others analyzed the difficulty of attacking the tower together. Because there were mechanisms on each floor, attacking the tower was far more difficult than they imagined. Ning Yuanzhou asked Yuan Lu to think about how to cut the mechanism filaments without triggering the bell, and also asked Yu Shisan Find an escape route. Ruyi also said that she would go to Li Tongguang to find a route for everyone to safely evacuate Andu.

Ruyi couldn't rest well because of her hatred for Emperor An and her guilt for Zhu Yiwei's innocent death. In order to relieve Ruyi's burden, Ning Yuanzhou asked Ruyi to write down all the regrets in her heart on paper, and then accompanied her to write it down. These regretful notes were blown up with fireworks. Ruyi wanted Jin Meiniang to help find Zhu Yiwei and ask them what they wanted, so that they could help each other more accurately. Ning Yuanzhou said that no matter what Ruyi wanted to do, he would accompany her.
