Shen Miao approached Pei Yanzhen under the guise of being good for Xiao'er, Pei Yanzhen knew what was in her mind but did not expose it. Song Xiyuan was choosing jewelry for Shen Miao in the jewelry store, overheard what Zhao Butou said, and understood that the prince and concubine he was talking about were Pei Yanzhen and Shen Miao. Shen Miao undressed Pei Yanzhen and Pei Yanzhen confessed his true feelings to her. He wanted to start over with Shen Miao after everything was over and bring Xiao'er back to Lingzhou. Shen Miao did not answer as she knew in her heart that the most important thing right now was to rescue Shen Zai. That night, Song Xiyuan sneaked into the palace, Shen Miao took advantage of Pei Yanzhen's deep sleep, and secretly went out to have a conversation with Song Xiyuan.
Song Xiyuan had a well-arranged plan, which was to lure Zhan Yue away, invite Pei Yanzhen to the outskirts, let the killer ambush him in advance, and then threaten Zhan Yue with Pei Yanzhen's life, and he would not believe that Shen Zai could not be found. Shen Miao immediately objected, Song Xiyuan would not allow her to refuse, and tomorrow he would wait for her to ask Pei Yanzhen out at Yongquan Temple in the suburbs. When Shen Miao returned to the room, Pei Yanzhen had a nightmare, thinking that she had lost her, and hugged her tightly. Shen Miao was unwilling, so Pei Yanzhen stopped. Shen Miao woke up from the nightmare early in the morning and Pei Yanzhen ordered people to bring many jewelry. During breakfast, Shen Miao proposed to go to the temple to fulfill her wish, Pei Yanzhen clenched her fists and agreed one by one.
In fact, Pei Yanzhen had already heard the conversation between her and Song Xiyuan last night, but he loved Shen Miao deeply, so even if Shen Miao proposed not to bring Zhan Yue and the guards, Pei Yanzhen agreed. The feeling in Shen Miao's heart was very strange, with guilt and a little bit of intolerance. It was raining heavily on the day of going to the temple, Shen Miao was filled with many worries, Pei Yanzhen's conversation with her in the rain made Shen Miao finally decide to tell him the truth. And Pei Yanzhen knew her purpose from the beginning to the end, but he still stepped into it willingly because of his deep love for Shen Miao. Shen Miao tried her best to stop Song Xiyuan, but Song Xiyuan ignored it.
Pei Yanzhen was outnumbered with two fists and was soon defeated by the killer arranged by Song Xiyuan. Seeing Song Xiyuan raised his sword at Pei Yanzhen, Shen Miao threatened Song Xiyuan with suicide in desperation and released Pei Yanzhen. Song Xiyuan also had feelings for Shen Miao and couldn't bear to see her threaten her life, so he agreed to let Pei Yanzhen go today. From then on Shen Miao understood that she was wrong, she put the hairpin in Pei Yanzhen's hands and did not regret marrying him in this life. Song Xiyuan pulled Shen Miao away and all the killers also left. Soon after, Zhan Yue came to the temple and brought Pei Yanzhen back to the Regent's Palace. At this time, Pei Yanzhen was seriously injured and his life was in danger.
The so-called arrest of Shen Zai by Pei Yanzhen was all lies of Song Xiyuan, which was deliberately designed by Song Xiyuan in order to arouse her hatred for Pei Yanzhen. By the time Shen Miao understood these things, it was already too late. Shen Miao hated Song Xiyuan's deceit, but today she and Song Xiyuan joined forces to plot against Pei Yanzhen first, she has no right to blame him, after all she was at fault too. But when in Lingzhou, Shen Miao had already made it clear to Song Xiyuan that she only treated him as a friend from beginning to end and had no affection between men and women. Song Xiyuan automatically ignored her words, put down Yangmei and was about to leave, at this moment, Shen Zai came in.
Seeing that Shen Zai was safe and sound, Shen Miao was finally relieved, she thanked Song Xiyuan for letting Pei Yanzhen go today, but from now on, there was no need for them to meet again, and from now on they would return to each other. Since then, there has been no turning point between the two of them.
