After Zhang Ping was arrested, Gu Qingzhang said that everything was still going according to plan. He wanted to get back what belonged to him, and he would also give up the throne in the future so that all powerful people in the world could compete. Shock, but Gu Qingzhang didn't care.

Taifu Liu called all the ministers into the palace, and he called out the emperor's jade certificate in the palace. Twenty years ago, he had personally witnessed the completion of the emperor's jade document, but now there is nothing in the emperor's jade document, so he believed that what Gu Qingzhang said was true. The trumpet sounded in the palace, and Liu Taifu publicly announced that the Queen Mother's injuries had worsened and she died suddenly. He arranged for the ministers to attend the funeral for the Queen Mother, and proposed that the grand ceremony of Qianqiu Yi and the Queen Mother's funeral be held at the same time to highlight the Queen Mother's merits.

Later, Liu Taifu left Lan Jue behind, and he told Lan Jue that the real dragon would ascend the throne at the queen mother's funeral, and Lan Jue had full authority over the ceremonies and regulations. Lan Jue realized that Gu Qingzhang borrowed Liu Taifu's power to ascend the throne at the Empress Dowager's funeral, and then abdicated the throne to be chased by powerful people all over the world. Far away in the south, there is a war, and the defense of the capital is empty. Once the vassal kings fight for the throne, it will cause the world to suffer.

Lan Jue considered a private meeting with General Cao. He told all the truth, hoping to prevent Gu Qingzhang from ascending the throne with the help of General Cao. General Cao said that what Lan Jue said was consistent with what Zhang Ping said, and Zhang Ping also had unspoken secrets. He brought Zhang Ping to continue questioning. Zhang Ping said that Gu Qingzhang's killing of the queen mother today was too abnormal. The one who was stabbed to death was also the fake queen mother, so the real queen mother must still be alive.

General Cao originally wanted Eunuch Yingxi to go and inspect the dead queen mother's body to confirm the authenticity, but Eunuch Yingxi couldn't go to check it at all. Lan Jue thought that Gu Qingzhang wanted to hide the Queen Mother's whereabouts and let the Queen Mother witness everything that happened in Zhaode Palace. The only place that met these conditions was Qian Qiuyi. But the outside of Qianqiu Yi has been completely sealed off, and there is a passage underground for repairs. This passage may have been in disrepair for a long time, and some sections of the road have even been abandoned and collapsed. In order not to leak the news, Zhang Ping decided to take General Xiong to find the way.

Zhang Ping took General Xiong into the entrance of the main canal of the palace, but at this time Chen Thou also came here. He was entrusted by Lan Jue to deliver things to Zhang Ping, and he was also worried about Zhang Ping's safety and planned to protect him with him.

Lan Jue presided over the funeral of the Queen Mother, but was also worried about Zhang Ping's safety. Zhang Ping led Chen Tiao and General Xiong just as they found clues in the underground passage, they were surrounded and taken away. They were brought in front of Gu Qingzhang. Gu Qingzhang thought that Zhang Ping was against him everywhere, and now he couldn't remember the old love. Zhang Ping wanted General Xiong to break out of the encirclement and inform Lan Jue, but he did not expect to be stabbed by General Xiong with his backhand. Zhang Ping did not regret what he had done. Although this world is dangerous, there are also kind people like his mother. Gu Qingzhang spared Chen Cho's life and asked him to collect Zhang Ping's body.

At the end of the Queen Mother's funeral, Liu Taifu proposed to welcome the Queen Mother's own son to send the Queen Mother off. At this time, Gu Qingzhang appeared here. Liu Taifu told all the ministers that Gu Qingzhang was the prince who was appointed by the late emperor, and all the ministers did not believe this. At midnight, the bell rang, and a shrill cry came from outside the door.
