Zhang Ping tossed and turned because of Tao Zhoufeng's death, and couldn't sleep. Looking at the scriptures of Mu Yesheng treasured in the house, he remembered that when he went to Beijing for the exam, he would rather take less cotton-padded clothes than bring these scriptures with him. The purpose of his scientific research is to follow in the footsteps of Mu Yesheng into Dali Temple.

Lan Jue arranged for Xudong to place his eyeliner in Hanyuan Hall, but he still wanted to continue to reverse the case for his father. At this time, Zhang Ping came to Lan Mansion to visit, saying that he also wanted to understand, and he wanted to continue investigating the truth of the murder in Moluo Village. The imperial court received the battle report that Nandong invaded the Lingnan East Road and plundered the three continents, causing nearly 10,000 civilian deaths and injuries, and at least 30,000 people were displaced. Nandong deceived people too much. At this time, Wang Taiwei complained of illness, and Wang Yan simply attended and expressed his willingness to fight against Nandong on behalf of his father. Some officials in the DPRK and China support peace talks to solve the urgent need, but the Holy One is unwilling to cede territory to peace talks because of the suffering of the people. But the queen mother said that although peace talks are not the best policy, they are the only available policy. Faced with the coercion of the Queen Mother, the Holy Majesty had to compromise.

Xudong reported to Lan Jue that there was news from Hanyuan Hall's eyeliner that Eunuch Ying Xi was preparing a car, and his personal attendants were also scheduled. Lan Jue speculated that the Queen Mother would leave the palace. At this time, Wang Yan came to find Lan Jue because of the troubles in the court. He thought that he was born in the family of a Taiwei and could not share the worries for the country, so he felt very aggrieved. He originally wanted to invite Lan Jue to drink with him in the Moon Tower to relieve boredom, but he didn't expect that the room had already been booked out, so he could only invite Lan Jue to drink with him next time.

Lan Jue thought that the Queen Mother liked to go to Banyue Tower to listen to operas, so maybe they could go to Banyue Tower to find out tonight. That night, Lan Jue found out the Queen Mother's whereabouts in the Banyue Tower. He speculated that the Queen Mother had been living in seclusion after Mr. Jinghu appeared. He stared at the Peony Pavilion where the Empress Dowager was in the Banyue Tower, while Zhang Ping and Xudong checked the situation inside the building. Later, Zhang Ping found out that the queen mother did not bring a Jinwu guard with her this time, but let the Jinwu guard disguise herself and mix among the spectators. Lan Jue also discovered new doubts. Although the Queen Mother was calm on the surface, she knew she was in danger, so she came prepared. The person worthy of the empress dowager's risk may be Mr. Jinghu.

At this time, an accident happened on the stage, and the actor on the stage drew lots to win the honored guest of Peony Pavilion, and then invited the Queen Mother to meet him with the words of a play. Faced with booing from the audience, the Queen Mother finally decided to go to the stage to meet him. But after the queen mother came to the stage, she was led behind the stage by the male actor, but disappeared in the eyes of the spectators in a blink of an eye. Although the troupe owner said that this was a stage trick designed, the queen mother and the male actor still failed to appear in the end. Eunuch Ying Xi hurriedly arranged for his subordinates Search for the Queen Mother's whereabouts.

Lan Jue and Zhang Ping watched the queen mother disappear at the scene, and they also showed up to help. Zhang Ping speculated that the queen mother was no longer in the building, and then they found the actor on the stage fainted in the backstage, and suspected that the murderer took the queen mother away from the backstage , and they chased out of the Banyue Tower and found that the Queen Mother's carriage was no longer in place. But when they found the Empress Dowager's carriage, the Empress Dowager was no longer on the carriage, and there was only a paper crane in the carriage with the words "Forbidden Curse Division" written on it.

Lan Jue, Zhang Ping and others rushed to the Curse Forbidden Division and heard the Queen Mother calling for help. At this time, the Queen Mother was in the sea of fire. General Xiong broke into the sea of fire and rescued the Queen Mother. The artifacts and writing, the writing also shows that he is a member of the Moro tribe who came to take revenge.

Lan Jue drew the magic circle on the scene of the fire, and that night he took Zhang Ping to the Curse and Forbidden Division to check the classics, hoping to find books related to the magic circle. Twenty years ago, due to the leakage of Gu poison in a ritual ceremony, all the cursed students died, and the curse department was closed down since then. Zhang Ping searched around and found a diagram of the formation, which was consistent with the diagram of the fire formation, but the text on the diagram was unclear, so the two had to take the text back home to study. But there was poison on the residual leaves of the magic circle, and the two of them passed out before walking a few steps.
