Yu Jiming and Yin Yushi tried the case together. Xie Chi, Xie Yu, Wei Zhao and Pei Yan were watching. Yu Jiming insisted that Jiang Ci was the murderer who poisoned Xie Che. Jiang Ci tried his best to defend himself.
Yin Yushi came up with new evidence. The princess was also poisoned by Jiujie peach. The poison was hidden in pine, bamboo and plum blossoms. These were the three friends of Suihan specially prepared by Xie Chi for the family banquet to wash hands. Xie Chi alluded to King Zhuang Xie Yu framed him, Xie Yu defended himself in every possible way, Yushi Yin took out a piece of goose knife stained with nine-section peach poison, Xie Yu suspected that Xie Chi had framed him, and the two princes each held their own opinions.
Jiang Ci defended herself in public. Since both princes were suspected of poisoning, she could not be imprisoned alone. Both Xie Chi and Xie Yu promised to clear Jiang Ci's suspicion. Xie Chi and Xie Yu accused each other, and they argued His face turned red. Xie Che came after hearing the news and brought the person who poisoned him, Tao Zizhu, the chief internal officer. Everyone present was shocked.
It turned out that Xie Che asked Tao Zizhu to send people to Mingzhou to find out the details of Wei Zhao. Tao Zizhu sent Jiang Yuan there. Jiang Yuan found out that Wei Zhao was the son of Xiao Haitian, the lord of Yueluo City, and that Jiang Ci and Xiao Haitian were husband and wife. Xie Che learned that Jiang Ci's trial was being held today and guessed that it was carefully arranged by Wei Zhao, who wanted to blame the two princes and clear Jiang Ci's suspicion. Xie Che asked Tao Zizhu to take the blame. Xie Che escorted Tao Zizhu to the court. Tao Zizhu claimed that he poisoned Jiang Ci and accidentally injured Xie Che. Xie Che ordered Tao Zizhu to be imprisoned and let Jiang Ci return to Yuchunxuan to have a good rest. Xie Che left Wei Zhao behind, and Jiang Ci was confused. Pei Yan and Wei Zhao had arranged in advance for Liu Cui to escort Jiang Ci out of the palace. Jiang Yuan blocked their way, and Jiang Ci learned Wei Zhao's identity from him. When he was exposed, he couldn't help but sweat for Wei Zhao. Thanks to Pei Yan, who came to the rescue in time and protected Jiang Ci from entrusting Jiang Yuan with his entanglement. Jiang Ci wanted to go back to rescue Wei Zhao, but Pei Yan didn't want her to take any more risks, so he had to knock her out and escort Jiang Ci out of the palace.
Xie Che tested Wei Zhao in every possible way, and Wei Zhao responded fluently. Xie Che persuaded Wei Zhao to tell the truth and promised not to investigate, but Wei Zhao was not surprised. Xie Che sent Wei Zhao to give Yueluo an order to donate slaves to the Great Star Kingdom three times a year. Touching Wei Zhao's weakness, he advised Xie Che not to kill Yue Luo again. Jiang Yuan hurried over to report the news of Jiang Ci's escape to Xie Che. Xie Che turned against him on the spot and locked Wei Zhao into a slave fighting arena, leaving him to fend for himself.
Jiang Ci woke up in a daze and learned that Wei Zhao was imprisoned in a slave fighting arena where he was bound to die. He struggled to get up and wanted to save him, but Yi Fei tried his best to stop him. Wei Zhao was imprisoned in a slave fighting arena. He was surrounded by a large group of slaves. In order to fight for a chance of survival, the slaves pressed on Wei Zhao step by step and used deadly moves. Wei Zhao fought back desperately.
Xie Che found out that Xie Yu and Wei Zhao teamed up to frame Xie Chi. Xie Chi confessed to this. He believed that he had forced Xie Chi to be more suitable to be the prince. Xie Che did not investigate what he had done and allowed him to continue to be an idle prince. Xie Yu was completely disheartened. Xie Che witnessed the fight between the two princes and couldn't help but remember that his father had high hopes for Qi Wang Xie Chun. He felt jealous. Before his death, his father told him not to repay Xie Chun.
Xie Che sent people throughout the city to search for Jiang Ci's whereabouts. Tong Min followed Yi Fei, but was caught by Yi Fei. An urgent report came from the front line. Lu Yu led his troops to defect to Wei State. Emperor Gao Xiu of Wei State personally led troops to attack Da Ming State and occupied Zhuzhou. Lu Yu was leading his troops to Da Ming State. The brave general You Ran led Da Ming State. The soldiers defended Mingzhou. Xie Che summoned the civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures. Yue Jinglong took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the army. Xie Chi recommended Pei Yan. Yin Yushi also suggested that Pei Yan lead the army. Xie Che thought carefully before reluctantly agreeing.
Jiang Ci hid in Lanyue Tower after leaving the palace. She wanted to rescue Wei Zhao, so she sent Yi Fei to call Pei Yan, and Pei Yan agreed. Xie Che approached Pei Yan to discuss the battle plan. Pei Yan suggested joining forces with Yue Luo to fight against Wei State. Xie Che was worried that Yue Luo would fall into the hands of Wei State. He agreed with Pei Yan's idea. Pei Yan wanted Wei Zhao to help him. Xie Che I couldn't think of a better way for a while, so I had to agree.
Pei Yan came to the slave fighting field and saw that all the slaves were beaten to death, and Wei Zhao was also covered with wounds. Pei Yan wanted to lead Wei Zhao on an expedition, but Xie Che gave Wei Zhao a chance to make a difference and quickly healed Wei Zhao's injuries. Wei Zhao also wanted to give the people of Yueluo a chance to make a comeback, so he took the pill on the spot.
Jiang Ci learned that Pei Yan had rescued Wei Zhao. She was grateful to Pei Yan and wanted to go with the army to treat the soldiers' injuries. Pei Yan couldn't resist her, so he had to agree. Pei Yan also asked the noodle stall owner to send two bowls of mutton soup noodles. Jiang Ci Pei Yan and Jiang Ci grilled crabs to entertain him. After finishing the meal, Pei Yan and Jiang Ci completely cut off their obsession with Jiang Ci.
